Scandal Supermodel

“Tsk.” Huo Shen did not look like he believed her. But he did not say anything more and flipped his body to hold her down as he placed himself above her.

She blinked at him. To prove herself, she pointed to the thermos flask on the floor, and softly said, “Last night, I wanted to bring this in for you.”

Huo Shen followed her line of sight.

The hot water flask lay tilted on the floor as if abandoned.

Nobody opened it, and nobody drank the soup.

An Xiaowan was curious about the contents of the flask.

Was it medicine or soup?

Just when her mind flashed with curious questions about the flask, the large weight pressing down on her suddenly lightened. Huo Shen got off and stood by the bedside, his back facing her.

The sun rays hitting his back, adorning it. An Xiaowan lay on the bed as she stared at the scene unfolding, the creaseless shirt covering the flawless body, his long and slender fingers elegantly slipping the buttons one by one.

What a pleasant sight.

Huo Shen briskly left the room once he was dressed.

What An Xiaowan did not see was his eyebrows drawn in a frown and that mysterious and puzzling on his flawless face.

The contents in that thermos flask were the best medicines prescribed by one of the best Chinese medicine doctors in the country. The soup was beneficial for calming his nerves and helping him fall asleep at night. Although this tonic was not always effective, his insomnia would definitely keep him up for the entire night if he did not consume it.

But… The previous night…

Huo Shen’s eyes narrowed.

Was it a coincidence?

It must be.

Thanks to Huo Shen’s presence, breakfast that morning was exceptionally sumptuous.

An Xiaowan walked down the stairs, wearing a red dress.

Her gorgeous figure, skillfully wrapped in the dress, looking even more charming. Her every step was a breathtaking sight.

She looked at the man seated at the dining table, and for a moment, she paused in her steps. But she quickly recovered, and flashed a smile, as she walked straight to the seat beside him and sat.

This was the first time Huo Shen was still around the next morning.

It was also the first time they had breakfast together at the same table.

Assistant Luo and the butler stood at a distance, as they observed Huo Shen. When they saw that Huo Shen looked better than usual, they silently exchanged quizzical looks.

They were well aware that the flask lying on the floor in Huo Shen’s room had not been opened, much less been drunk. But Huo Shen did not have the usual air of toxic gloom on his face. On the contrary, this morning, his complexion was even more radiant than usual.

What was going on?

Assistant Luo looked over at An Xiaowan, his eyes darkening with contemplation.

“Good…

achoo

!”

An Xiaowan just sat down, intending to greet Huo Shen, but before she could do so, she suddenly sneezed.

As she rubbed her nose, the man beside her abruptly stood up.

As if she was invisible, Huo Shen didn’t even look at her, before putting down the newspaper in his hands and leaving his breakfast untouched. He didn’t even take a few mouthfuls and walked towards the door.

“…” An Xiaowan opened her mouth and then closed it as if wanting to say something. Was she being despised?

For sneezing?

An Xiaowan rolled her eyes. She watched him leave and then lowered her head, continued eating her breakfast on her own.

The butler went up to her, looked at her intently, and said asked, “Ms. An, did Mr. Huo sleep well last night?”

“Very well.” In fact, like a pig. He almost crushed her to death.

The butler nodded. “Thanks to Ms. An for her help. President Huo managed to sleep peacefully. He always depended on that concoction, and even that was not a guarantee of good sleep every time.”

The butler did not say it explicitly, but An Xiaowan was sharp-witted and immediately understood the underlying meaning.

The concoction in the hot water flask contained some kind of sleeping drug.

To think Huo Shen had such a good sleep the night before, despite not consuming the concoction.

“Maybe Mr. Huo has been more exhausted lately.” An Xiaowan did not think much about it and shrugged it off as an effect of exhaustion.

At this moment, Huo Shen’s doctor walked in with his medical bag.

“Ms. An, Young Master Huo asked me to conduct a full body checkup for you.” The doctor walked over. Looking at the tip of An Xiaowan’s nose, that was a little red now, he smiled and said, “It seems Ms. An has caught a cold.”
