Chapter 95: He Hurt Her

Chapter 95: He Hurt Her

Yun Mu: "…"

How could she guarantee that?

Nevertheless, Yun Mu obediently nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

A minute later, Feng Shuo arrived with a portable medical kit.

In the presidential suite of the Royal Hotel, Huo Tingying's private chef had arrived and was preparing a hotpot in the kitchen.

Yun Mu was sitting on the sofa, her injured left arm gently held by Huo Tingying as he applied medicine. Meanwhile, her right hand was sending a message to her school teacher, asking for a half-day leave.

Beside her was a box of cake. Seeing her eat happily, Huo Tingying felt comforted.

After sending the message, she furrowed her misty brows slightly and urged softly, "Are you done yet? You're being slow."

Huo Tingying slowly lifted his eyes, his tone cool, "The wound is deep. If not properly treated, it will easily scar."

This woman always took her injuries lightly.

Yun Mu propped her chin up, smiling carelessly, "It doesn't matter if it scars, since you'll be there to take care of me."

Huo Tingying was slightly taken aback, but inside him, ripples spread like stones thrown into a lake.

Feng Shuo entered the living room, swinging a bloodied dagger, and reported solemnly, "Young Master, we got a confession."

Huo Tingying released Yun Mu, his narrow eyes slightly lifting, "What did they say?"

"They claimed to be die-hard fans of Yun Shuiyao, harboring resentment towards you and Young Mistress. They wanted to kill you both for revenge on behalf of their idol."

As soon as Feng Shuo finished speaking, Yun Mu scoffed.

Nonsense!

"Have your meal first," Huo Tingying said gently to Yun Mu, then suddenly stood up. His already dark face now looked even more sinister, "I'll personally handle the interrogation."

This assassination attempt was clearly targeted at Huo Tingying; someone wanted him dead.

She couldn't get too involved in his affairs.

But eating hotpot alone wasn't much fun either. After a few bites, she quietly went to the adjacent study.

Feng Shuo had already taken those people away, leaving only Huo Tingying in the vast study.

He was sitting at the desk, his slender fingers holding a cigarette as he frowned in thought.

Hearing her footsteps, Huo Tingying raised his eyes. Amidst the swirling smoke, he fixed his gaze on her, discreetly extinguishing the cigarette butt, "Finished eating?"

Yun Mu walked over. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I've already eaten earlier."

"Oh."

Yun Mu glanced at the ashtray beside him, which was filled with one cigarette butt after another. Ever since she forbade him from smoking last time, she hadn't seen him smoke again.

This time, he was smoking hastily.

Moreover, his eyes were bloodshot with a hint of impending madness.

It had been many days since his last episode.

The dangerous factors lurking within him hadn't dissipated; instead, they had been accumulating in his body along with the spread of toxicity, ready to awaken and erupt at any moment.

Yun Mu furrowed her brows, pushed the ashtray away, and stuffed a spoonful of cake into his mouth.

"Smoke less. Isn't the cake delicious?"

Huo Tingying was taken aback as the milky aroma of the cake spread between his lips and teeth.

Yun Mu scooped another spoonful and offered it to his lips. "Another bite?"

Huo Tingying turned his gaze, looking at the girl beside him.

The girl also gazed up at him with clear eyes, like crystal.

Seeing that he didn't move, Yun Mu chuckled. "What's with the daze? Do I have to feed you?"

Yun Mu bent down, reaching for his mouth, but unexpectedly, her elbow knocked over the teacup, causing her entire body to suddenly fall into his embrace.

The girl's soft body felt like cotton candy, and her sweet scent filled his nose—it was the fragrance he had always been infatuated with.

Huo Tingying's Adam's apple bobbed as he held the girl in his arms, cupped the back of her head, and lowered his eyes to kiss her red lips.

Unlike his usual gentle and affectionate kisses, this one had a taste of biting aggression.

Yun Mu drew in a sharp breath from the pain, her slender fingers clutching the front of his shirt, but she didn't immediately push him away.

She knew that this man was having another episode.

She didn't expect his body to be so fragile that even the slightest emotional fluctuation could trigger the beast within him.

Yun Mu endured the pain and proactively raised her hand to wrap around his neck, attempting to slowly guide and soothe his emotions.

Huo Tingying sensed the girl's compliance in his arms and became even more unrestrained in holding her body. However, his fingertips accidentally squeezed Yun Mu's wound, causing blood to instantly seep out.

Yun Mu's delicate eyebrows knitted together in pain, and the color drained from her face in an instant.

When Huo Tingying felt the warmth in his palm and opened his eyes, clarity instantly filled his gaze.

The bloodthirsty impulse within him dissipated, leaving him feeling as if he had been plunged into an icy cellar.

He immediately pushed the girl in his arms away and leaned on the table, panting.

Yun Mu opened her eyes, enduring the pain to approach him. "Tingying, let me take a look. You're having another episode..."

"Don't touch me!" Huo Tingying quickly stood up, turning away, not daring to look at her covered in blood. "I'm going to the next room."

Then, he slammed the door shut and rushed into the bedroom, locking it from the inside.

Yun Mu knew that every time he had an episode, he would drive everyone away, not wanting anyone to see his vulnerable state. But his self-destructive behavior could not save himself.

She didn't have time to put on shoes and ran out barefoot, knocking on the door. "Huo Tingying, open the door! Suffering alone will only make you feel worse. I'm your doctor; let me take a look!"

Inside the room, Huo Tingying stood tall and imposing in front of the dressing table. His slender fingers, with distinct knuckles, gripped the edge of the table until they turned white.

His muscular chest heaved as he lifted his gaze to look at his reflection in the mirror. His narrow eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his lips still stained with her sweet, metallic blood.

At this moment, he was exactly what they called a madman, a demon.

He gave a cold smile and punched the mirror, shattering it, sending glass shards flying everywhere...

Outside, the girl's anxious shouts and the sound of her pounding on the door filled his ears.

It was as if the entire world had shrunk down to just him and her.

"Huo Tingying, what have you done again? Open the door so I can... Huo Tingying, you..." The door suddenly swung open, and Yun Mu's gaze collided with his bloodshot, narrow eyes, which were now staring at her with malevolence.

Her eyes fell on his hand, dripping with blood, and she frowned. "What madness have you gotten yourself into again?"

She reached out to touch his hand with concern, but he brushed her off.

"Huo Tingying..."

The man stared at her with a dark and fierce expression, his gaze like a wild beast eyeing its prey, sending chills down one's spine.

He saw the fear in her eyes and gave a wicked, cold smile, his voice hoarse. "Yun Mu, I gave you a chance to leave."

Yun Mu gritted her teeth. "Leave my foot. I'm your doctor, you're the patient, and you better behave..."

Huo Tingying grabbed her wrist and threw her onto the large bed.

Dizzy from excessive blood loss, Yun Mu's vision went black for a moment. Then, the man leaned over her, pressing her down, his large hand pinning her wrists above her head.

Yun Mu struggled. "Huo Tingying, let me get up and give you acupuncture. It'll make you feel better."

Huo Tingying buried his face in her soft, fair neck and said hoarsely, "No, only this way will I feel better."

In the next instant, the man gently bit down on her fair neck.
