C62 It Sounded like a Whisper from a Man in Love

Lin Wanbai was 100% sure that it was Huo Changyuan.

Even if he wasn't in the Ice City, his domineering attitude was still there.

She sighed silently and sent away the couple she had made a blind date with. Then she crossed the road and returned to the hospital.

However, along the way, it was as if a little bug had flown into her head, constantly repeating the word "Mr. Howe" in the midst of the discussion. Even when she got out of the elevator, the situation had not improved, to the point where she tripped over a patient's IV drip rack.

Just as he entered the ward, his phone rang again.

Before Lin Wanbai even took it out, she already had a premonition of who it might be.

There was still some pain on her knee. After she picked it up, she purposely didn't say anything.

"What, you're not in a good mood?"

On the other side, Huo Changyuan's tone was rather lazy and seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing that she still hadn't made a move, he was surprisingly not angry. Instead, he slowly asked, "How was your coffee?"

"Not much." Lin Wanbai couldn't contain her anger and said deliberately, "He was kicked out halfway through drinking. I wonder who had the money to take over this mess …"

"You failed to date a pug and you're so unhappy?"

"It's not a date …"

Lin Wanbai had no choice but to correct him. "Xiao Wu isn't a pug, we aren't going to meet alone today. Also, my junior sister, she's going to be the matchmaker for them."

"Then you sound like a grumpy woman!" Huo Changyuan snorted coldly.

Lin Wanbai was speechless. She rubbed her knees and said, "I just tripped over a while ago."

"Stupid!" Huo Changyuan scolded her, but followed up with a question, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Nope." Lin Wanbai shook her head.

Perhaps it was her imagination, but from so far away, she could hear a hint of concern between his words.

While still recognizing him, he heard him say, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Huh?" Lin Wanbai was surprised. "Didn't you say it would take more than a week?"

Huo Changyuan answered at long intervals as if he was smoking, "The trip to Beijing has been cancelled, so we can go back directly. It's a flight the day after tomorrow, I have to see you when I get home."

"Oh, I know." Lin Wanbai nodded.

"Warm up the bed for me." Huo Changyuan reminded him.

"Yes …" Lin Wanbai was meek.

Again, she couldn't understand his obsession with warming the bed.

"Why aren't you hanging up?"

Huo Changyuan asked her after a long silence.

Lin Wanbai bit her lips as she mumbled, "Didn't you say that you can't hang up the phone before you …"

"Hehe, what a good girl!" Huo Changyuan laughed when he heard that.

Lin Wanbai felt an itch in her cochlear. It was as if the sound of her magnetic laughter had been spreading inside. It was really …

It was too much like a whisper in a world of love.

After hanging up, Lin Wanbai breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously touched her burning face.

Ye Zichen looked up and continued to walk inside. He noticed that his grandma, who was reading the newspaper on the bed, was also looking at him. She smiled and asked, "Lil 'White, where's your boyfriend?"

"Hm." Lin Wanbai spoke vaguely with a guilty conscience.

"Indeed, you are a young man in love. I feel that I have returned to the time when I was in love with your grandfather!"

"Grandmother, stop teasing me …"

Lin Wanbai lowered her head in embarrassment. The temperature on her face was even higher.

For a moment she thought it was true.

Grandma pulled down her reading glasses and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh yeah, Little White, you still haven't told me your boyfriend's name?"

"His surname is Huo …"

Lin Wanbai almost blurted out.

In the next second, he realized that it was already too late to retract it.

Hearing this, Grandma asked again, "What's her full name?"

"Uh, Huo Changyuan." For a moment, Lin Wanbai couldn't come up with a name, so she just told him the truth.

Besides, even if she told her grandma that the old man stayed in the hospital every day, the news would still be kept a secret and he wouldn't really know who Huo Changyuan was.

Who knew that after her grandmother heard this, her aged face was filled with hesitation.

After a moment of silence, he flipped the newspaper in his hand over, "Is this the person on top?"

"…" Lin Wanbai fell.

Does it have to be such a coincidence?

On the inside page of the newspaper, there was a large half of the financial news.

The man in the photo was wearing a handmade suit. Even when he was sitting on the sofa, he couldn't hide his tall figure. Some of them were smart and clean like successful people, without a trace of impetuousness.

Lin Wanbai couldn't back down, so she could only nod.

The old man was pleased and worried by her acknowledgment.

"..."

The day after tomorrow would come in the blink of an eye.

When the Bentley entered from the entrance of the high-end residential area, it was already past one o'clock at night.

Huo Changyuan, dressed in dust, came out of the elevator with his luggage. When he turned the key in the door, warm lights poured out.

He paused, then remembered that he had called her.

Huo Changyuan's Adam's apple moved up and down.

All these years, every time he went home and opened the door at night, he was greeted by only darkness, a cold life, a life that had lasted for many years, but now this life was like stagnant water, because it seemed less lonely with someone accompanying him.

Huo Changyuan walked into the bedroom with the door open and saw the figure leaning against the bed.

There was a book on her knees that was even bigger than her face. Her neck was drooping, and her face was covered in sleepiness. Her head was already moving like a chick pecking at rice, but her eyes were still tightly shut.

"Why aren't you sleeping after being so sleepy?"

Lin Wanbai raised her head as someone caught her chin.

There was a few seconds of chaos before he saw clearly that it was him. It should be the look of someone who had just returned, the suit jacket was not taken off, and he was covered in dust as if he had just come from the sea.

Lin Wanbai ruffled her long hair and mumbled in a low voice, "How could I dare to sleep …"

"Hmm?" Huo Changyuan raised his eyebrows.

Lin Wanbai glanced at him before secretly curling her lips. "Didn't you say last time that if you don't come back in the future, I'm not allowed to sleep here without permission …"

"So obedient?" Huo Changyuan smiled.

Lin Wanbai did not utter a word, only snorting in her heart.

When he raised his head again, he realized that it was rare for him to see the smile on his face.

"Gulp."

The two sudden yells were very obvious at night.

Lin Wanbai ate a big meal at night, so it naturally wasn't her stomach. She looked at Huo Changyuan, and sure enough, there was a trace of uneasiness on his face.

She was a little surprised. "You haven't eaten yet?"

"I had a whole day of meeting, and I only drank water. After that, I went straight to the airport. I almost missed it." Huo Changyuan took off the suit jacket. His stomach was filled with water.

"Isn't there food on the plane?" Lin Wanbai was puzzled.

"The food is bad." Huo Changyuan pouted.

How picky!

Lin Wanbai silently cursed. She thought about how he hadn't eaten a single meal all day, so she lifted the blanket and said, "Wait for me!"

Huo Changyuan didn't care about it. He unbuttoned his shirt and went into the bathroom.

When he came out of the shower, there was a sound coming from downstairs. The air was filled with the warm fragrance of the food. When he arrived at the dining room, he saw her holding a bowl of steaming hot noodles.

Huo Changyuan was stunned for a moment.
