Chapter 192: Wanting Her

Chapter 192: Wanting Her

Although Lu Nansen had already said that his body was normal and the surgery was successful,

Huo Tingying still had a knot in his heart. He knew his body well and it was impossible for him to have a nosebleed for no reason.

If the surgery really hadn't been successful...

Huo Tingying's eyes gradually darkened.

After discussing the plan for the next surgery, Yun Mubai returned to the Huo family residence at around ten o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that Huo Tingying wasn't home, she went ahead and washed up.

Huo Tingying didn't go upstairs immediately after returning home; instead, he sat in the car until a cigarette burned out, adjusting his emotions before going up.

He stood silently outside the bedroom door.

The door was slightly ajar, not fully closed.

Yun Mubai was lying on the bed, holding a notebook as if reading.

Having just taken a shower, she wore a champagne-colored spaghetti-strap nightgown, her hair still damp and not completely dry.

Her graceful figure evoked all sorts of fantasies.

Seemingly tired from lying prone, the young woman changed to lying on her side, lifting her hand to tuck her fine long hair behind her ear, revealing her fair neck and collarbone, captivating.

At this moment, Huo Tingying's anger had long dissipated, even replaced by a throaty heat.

He held back for a while before pushing the door open.

Yun Mubai heard the sound, put down her book, and sat up.

"Why did you come back so late and change your clothes?"

The previous outfit was stained with nosebleed, so it had been changed.

Huo Tingying remained expressionless, "I met a client. My clothes got stained with wine, so I changed into a new set."

Yun Mubai didn't doubt him.

Huo Tingying raised his thick brows slightly, "What were you reading?"

Yun Mubai handed the book over, "We're about to start the third surgery. I was looking at the medical books left by my mother, hoping to find information about Grandpa's surgical plan."

It turned out that earlier, she and Si Nanjue were discussing the surgery in the meeting room.

Huo Tingying looked at her, silent for a long time.

Noticing his gaze fixed on her and his unusually pale face, Yun Mubai asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Huo Tingying's thin lips curved slightly, raising his hand to hold her chin with his slightly rough fingers, caressing it, "No, I'm just worried about you. Did you get hurt tonight?"

Yun Mubai relaxed, raising an eyebrow, "Of course not. Grandpa should be safe for now."

She might not realize how captivating she looked when animated like this.

Especially those enchanting eyes, which stirred something deep within him, making him want to devour her whole.

He didn't want to die, didn't want to lose her.

The temperature between them grew increasingly heated, and his gaze became deeper.

Yun Mubai instantly noticed his change.

He leaned down, kneeling beside her, forcing her to look up to meet his kiss.

Her black hair cascaded down as his large hand tangled in it, pressing her beneath him. Every inch of his skin, every drop of blood, screamed.

He wanted her.

He couldn't wait another moment.

Not a second more.

Just then, Yun Mubai's phone rang.

An unmarked number, but Yun Mubai recognized it as Lin Wanqing's.

Yun Mubai hung up, but the caller persisted.

Finally, she lifted her head from under him, blushing, "I... I need to take this call."

Huo Tingying gave the phone a resentful glare, suppressing his desire and turning away, staring intently at Yun Mubai like a predator waiting for its prey.

Yun Mubai pressed the answer button, her breath still uneven from Huo Tingying's earlier advances, "What is it?"

On the other end, Lin Wanqing's voice was filled with tears, "Mumu, your father is in trouble."

...

Late at night, at the Yun Family Mansion.

In the darkness, a black sedan stopped in front of the Yun family residence.

Yun Mubai unbuckled her seatbelt, glancing at Huo Tingying in the driver's seat, "Tingying, I'll go in alone."

Huo Tingying understood that she wanted to handle the Yun family matters herself, nodding, "Go in. I'll inform Yun Heshu."

Yun Mu got out of the car and walked straight in.

Yun Chengdong was waiting under the porch. Seeing Yun Mu approach, he walked over. "Alone?"

"Is he dead?"

Yun Chengdong's face darkened. "Just a minor injury."

"Then I'll have Tingying come to pay his respects when he's dead."

Yun Chengdong, "..."

Yun Mu's voice was not quiet, and it happened to be heard by Yun Tingying, who was in the living room bandaging his wounds.

As she stepped inside, a teacup was thrown her way.

"Who asked you to bring this wretched girl back? Tell her to get lost!"

Yun Mu glanced at Yun Tingying, who was injured and full of anger, and sneered, "Did you hear that? They don't want me here. I apologize for the disturbance."

Seeing Yun Mu turn to leave, Yun Tingying shouted angrily, "Stop! This time, did you and Huo Tingying orchestrate the blow to the Yun family's conglomerate?"

Yun Mu turned around, her eyes cold.

"Every time something happens, you blame me. Do I even need to make trouble for you?"

On the way here, Huo Tingying had already instructed Feng Shuo to investigate the Yun family's situation. Recently, several of their projects had financial gaps, and their own bank was running out of money.

Yun Tingying's trip abroad was originally to negotiate financing with foreign partners, but an intentional vehicle interception on the way caused him to miss the best negotiation opportunity.

The century-old Yun family conglomerate was about to face an unprecedented financial crisis.

Thinking about how the news of the Yun family's crisis would spread nationwide tomorrow, Yun Tingying could barely contain his rage.

"Who else could it be? You hate me, you hate the Yun family, and you're even willing to use underhanded tactics to destroy us!"

"If I were really behind it, tonight you'd be dead, not just injured!" Yun Mu sneered. "Instead of questioning me, why don't you ask your beloved Yun Shuiyao? Ask her who orchestrated the Yun family's crisis and your accident?"

Yun Tingying was stunned.

"You mean Yao'er did it? How could Yao'er, who just had a miscarriage and is alone at the Huo family, possibly deal with the Yun family? Even now, you still blame Yao'er. Truly unrepentant! Five years ago, I should have killed you instead of sending you away—"

Yun Tingying brushed aside Lin Wanqing, who was trying to calm him down, and stood up to strike.

But then a voice came from the doorway: "President Huo has arrived!"

Huo Tingying?

Yun Tingying froze mid-motion!

Everyone turned around.

Huo Tingying had already strode in, his deep, narrow eyes scanning the living room before stopping on Yun Mu. He stood protectively in front of her, his gaze icy. "I heard President Yun say he wanted to kill my wife?"

Yun Tingying remained silent for a moment, but facing Huo Tingying, he couldn't lose his dignity. He gritted his teeth, "President Huo, you've come at the right time. Did you do this to the Yun family?"

Huo Tingying's eyes were clear and cold. "Do you think if I acted, it would be as simple as swallowing a few of your projects?"

That tone was exactly like Yun Mu's earlier!
