Chapter 671: Happy to Listen

In the beginning, Lu Ning did not relent to it, but he would often massage her secretly while she was asleep.

Lu Ning did feel that her legs became much more comfortable, so she did not stop him.

The truth was that she did not really want Huo Jinyan to see her in such a sorry state.

However, when a person is unwell, things such as looking good mattered little.

Huo Jinyan did not know about her thoughts, though he paid little heed to all these.

In his eyes, Lu Ning was still as good-looking as before.

He would often just sit there, staring at Lu Ning in a daze.

When Lu Ning woke up, she would often meet his gaze the moment she opened her eyes.

He stayed for very long stretches of time, even longer than either Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi, so the nurse taking care of Lu Ning misunderstood him several times.

She even asked Lu Ning if Huo Jinyan was her husband and if they had just gotten married.

In the end, when she found out that Lu Ning had just come of age, she secretly reminded Lu Ning to open her eyes and look at him clearly, and not to get together with him just because she felt touched by him taking care of her.

And also, not to pay too much attention to his appearance—after all, men who were too handsome were more likely to be scumbags. A person’s character was unrelated to their looks, so she still had to keep an eye on the little details in order to determine his actual character.

Lu Ning listened to her with a smile. Then, when she turned around, she saw Huo Jinyan standing at the door, who had heard everything.

After the nurse left, Huo Jinyan sat down and looked at her. “There are some women whom you shouldn’t listen to.”

Lu Ning could not help but laugh. “Weren’t you quite happy to listen to the nurse talk a few days ago?”

A few days ago, that young nurse had mistakenly thought that Huo Jinyan was

Lu Nings husband, and Huo Jinyan enjoyed hearing her ask him about ‘your wife’. Coincidentally, there was no one else in the room, so he did not correct her for two days. Later, it was Lu Ning who corrected her and explained their circumstances when she woke up.

Huo Jinyan looked at her. “What she said two days ago was certainly the truth.’

Lu Ning could not help but purse her lips when she looked at how thick-skinned he was. “What do you mean ‘the truth’? Huo Jinyan, I haven’t agreed to you wooing me yet. Keep it up.”

Huo Jinyan leaned over, a gentle smile on his face, and reached out to hold her hand. “Okay~”

“An experienced woman advised me that I have to observe your character in detail, so you’ll pardon me if I keep an eye on you.”

Huo Jinyan rubbed the back of her hand with his fingers and smiled. “Sure, you can observe me as much as you want.”

Lu Ning smiled at him.

In fact, she had already accepted Huo Jinyan in her heart. Even if she did not reflect upon and scrutinize the feelings in her heart, she could slowly sense the difference in her feelings for Huo Jinyan.

They simply lacked a good opportunity for him to confess to her and for them to go out officially.

And this opportunity would probably present itself the next time Huo Jinyan asked her.

When Huo Jinyan asked, she would probably answer immediately.

However, it was apparent that Huo Jinyan did not understand this, so he foolishly accompanied Lu Ning and never asked her again if they could become a couple.

Lu Ning was not in a hurry anyway, and she could not be bothered to think about this.

Still, Lu Ning had already hinted as much to him, yet he did not quite get it. Even after giving her a New Year gift, he did not mention anything.

Lu Ning looked at him helplessly and did not say anything else. She wanted to see when he would understand.

This year, they did not celebrate Lu Jingzhi’s birthday. No one remembered it due to that whole situation, and Lu Jingzhi had also yet to wake up then. However, it was almost New Year’s, so she wanted to celebrate it with him..
