Chapter 177 Falling into Huo Junyan's Arms

When Nan Yu woke up, she immediately saw stars painted all over the dark ceiling. Then she realized that she was in a room decorated in black and white.

She blinked, and as her mind slowly cleared, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place.

Nan Yu sat up despite the body aches and found that her clothes had been changed and her high fever had subsided.

Just as she was wondering, a clear, cold voice came from beside her.

"Don't move. You are weak right now and need to rest. You shouldn't move around too much."

Nan Yu suddenly looked toward the source of the sound and met the half of a black mask she had seen before she fainted.

In a hoarse voice, she asked, "Patriarch Huo?"

Huo Junyan crossed his arms over his lap and looked at her from afar.

"Well, it's me."

Nan Yu instantly understood everything: "You saved me."

Huo Junyan said calmly, "Mm."

Nan Yu placed her hand on her pulse and found that she was mostly recovered. She thanked her and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Huo Junyan looked at her with deep eyes and said, "You're welcome."

Nan Yu saw that it was already bright outside, so she immediately picked up her phone from the bedside table and checked the time.

It's already 5 PM!

She immediately threw off the covers, trying to get up.

Unexpectedly, Huo Junyan asked two more words, "Miss Nan, where are you going?"

Nan Yu saw many missed calls and countless text messages on her phone, and she sent them all a message saying that she was fine.

Looking at Huo Junyan again, I said, "I have something to do, I have to go."

Huo Junyan spoke up to stop her, "Miss Nan, you are still weak, there is no need to rush anything."

The moment Nan Yu got off the bed, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She quickly grabbed the bed to keep from falling. She looked at Huo Junyan across the bed and said, "Patriarch Huo, I know my own body. Nothing will happen to me. Thank you for today. I will repay your kindness when I have the chance in the future."

After saying that, she gritted her teeth, straightened up, and prepared to leave barefoot.

When she reached the doorway, she suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded. Her legs gave way again, and she swayed and was about to fall.

Upon seeing this, Huo Junyan, who was standing at the door, darkened his eyes and instinctively reached out with his long arm to hook around her slender waist.

With another pull, he drew her into his arms, making sure she sat steadily on his lap.

Nan Yu's body reacted before her brain, wrapping her arms around Huo Junyan's neck and snuggling into his embrace.

In an instant, my nose was filled with his rich masculine scent, accompanied by the pleasant, cool aroma of cedar.

She tilted her head slightly, meeting his dark, inky eyes.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and her heart began to pound.

"Young Master, the meal is ready."

Suddenly, the nanny's voice came from the doorway, breaking the atmosphere between the two.

Nan Yu snapped out of her daze and quickly got off Huo Junyan, her face flushed and her ears burning hot.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was feeling dizzy just now, that's why I accidentally fell."

Huo Junyan felt his arms suddenly empty, and he couldn't help but rub his fingertips, as if the soft touch of that delicate body still lingered on them, and his eyes darkened.

"fine."

He silently clenched his fist, glanced at the nanny outside, pretended nothing had happened, and said to Nan Yu, "Miss Nan, you've just recovered from your high fever and need to replenish your strength. Why don't you have some food before you leave?"

After saying that, he moved his wheelchair to the restaurant without waiting for Nan Yu's consent.

Seeing that he was acting as if nothing had happened, Nan Yu rubbed her flushed cheeks and pretended that nothing had happened as well, following him into the restaurant.

"Alright, thank you, Patriarch Huo."
