She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 381 I also like her works
Chen Li didn't ask any more questions. She turned around, went downstairs, opened her laptop, started working, and silently waited for the treatment to end.

Nan Yu held the scalding hot Chinese medicine and placed it on the bedside table next to Huo Junyan.

"Wait until it cools down a bit before drinking."

Huo Junyan saw her scalded fingertips and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, you could have them bring it in directly."

Nan Yu glanced at her scalded fingertips and smiled slightly. "It's nothing."

She had been scalded by water hotter than this countless times.

When she was first sent to her uncle's house, her uncle sent her to play the piano in nightclubs so that she could earn money to pay off his debts. She played the piano non-stop from morning till night.

At first, she could barely hold on, but as time went on, her fingers were bruised and bleeding.

But her uncle refused to pay for her hospital treatment and wouldn't let her go either.

My aunt heard from other villagers that the traditional method involved forcibly immersing her hands in boiling water until they became numb, which would relieve the pain.

Then the next day, she was bandaged up and sent to continue playing the piano to earn money.

He played until his hands were bloody and raw, until the bones were exposed, until his hands were completely ruined and he could never play the piano again.

Her uncle and aunt had no choice but to give up on letting her continue playing the piano, but they wouldn't take her to the hospital to treat her hand; instead, they would let her fend for herself.

It was during her most painful time that she met her master, Gu Gongming.

Nan Yu looked at her hands, now completely unharmed, and a hint of relief appeared in her eyes.

Fortunately, she met her master back then, who used a secret method to heal her hands, allowing her to use them to become a ghost doctor.

Seeing Nan Yu lost in her own thoughts, Huo Junyan couldn't help but scrutinize her with his eyes.

But soon, he looked away, picked up the medicine from the bedside table, and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Nan Yu asked in surprise, "Isn't it hot?"

Huo Junyan frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "It's not hot, it's just a little bitter."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu suddenly remembered the sweet chocolate that Uncle Li had given her before. She rummaged through the box and took out the chocolate that she hadn't even eaten before, and handed it to Huo Junyan. She smiled slightly, "Patriarch Huo, this chocolate is very sweet. If you have a piece, it won't be bitter."

Huo Junyan stared at the chocolate, his tightly furrowed brows showing no sign of easing, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Seeing that he was still holding a bowl, Nan Yu assumed that he was having trouble peeling it open, so she peeled it open herself and offered the chocolate to Huo Junyan's lips again.

"Taste it."

Huo Junyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and opened his mouth as if possessed.

The chocolate didn't even touch her mouth before the sweet, rich flavor exploded in her mouth, mixed with Nan Yu's unique fragrance.

Nan Yu smiled, "Patriarch Huo, is it sweet?"

Huo Junyan's eyes darkened, and his deep, magnetic voice, slightly hoarse, rang out.

"sweet."

Nan Yu then smiled and said, "As long as it's sweet."

She snatched the empty bowl from Huo Junyan's hand and stuffed the remaining chocolates into Huo Junyan's hand.

"If you find it too bitter, eat some more."

Huo Junyan looked at the extra half of chocolate in his palm and the sweet taste in his mouth.

He swallowed slightly and silently held the remaining half of the chocolate in his hand.

When Nan Yu put the empty bowl on the table, she picked up the book that Huo Junyan was reading but had only read halfway.

Do you also like Shang Xian's books?

Upon hearing Nan Yu's words, Huo Junyan turned to look at the book in her hand.

"Yes, Shang Xian writes well, so I'll take a look when I have time."

Nan Yu smiled faintly, "I also like her work."
