Chapter 186: 186, Indifferent care, shyness
In the silence that enveloped the room, Shi Yuhuan held his lighter, igniting the tiny flame atop it. “Get out!!”
The threat in his tone needed no interpretation.
If Si Chen didn’t leave now, the lighter would be thrown at him, igniting the alcohol on his body. Even if he survived, he would be burned.
It was only then that Si Chen realized how dangerous his situation was, any trace of a smile he might have had previously now wiped clean away.
He stared at Shi Yuhuan intently, gasping heavily. The wound on his forehead was the least of his worries, a pain, unbearable and extreme, clawed at his chest as if a great force was pulling at it…
“Burn…” Amid the extreme agony, he wheezed out the single word, choked with grief.
“Shut up!!” Shi Xiuren could no longer ignore the situation. He panicked and rushed over.
Seeing Si Chen’s gloomy face stare stubbornly at Shi Yuhuan, he immediately reached out and harshly slapped Si Chen. “Go back to your room and reflect on your actions!!”
“Grandpa…” Si Chen, holding his slapped cheek, had a light mist in his eyes, filled with grievance.
“You… you still think I’m your grandpa, huh? Is this how you treat your sister-in-law?!” Shi Xiuren glared at him, looking even more furious than Shi Yuhuan.
No one knew better than him that once Si Chen had said “Burn it!”, Shi Yuhuan would not hesitate and show any mercy before throwing the lighter onto Si Chen.
Si Chen had always been doted upon excessively by the family since childhood. As his grandfather in the Shi Country Villa, he had been indulgent and spoiling, hence nubbing Si Chen’s arrogant and unruly temper.
Even if he had made such a mistake and Shi Yuhuan hadn’t said anything on the surface about it, Shi Xiuren knew that if anything happened to the girl, Shi Yuhuan would never let Si Chen off and making Si Chen leave would be better for him.
“Get the hell out!” Shi Xiuren pointed at Si Chen’s nose and roared angrily.
Under Shi Xiuren’s signal, Shi Mu and Shi Wen, who were standing on the side, quickly went over and dragged the still stunned Si Chen away.
With Si Chen out of the room, the room instantly quieted down, with no one saying a word.
It was not until the doctor straightened his back and put down his stethoscope. “She’s fine now, the water in her lungs has been drained. She may be somewhat dazed because of the choking, but she should wake up soon.”
Shi Yuhuan moved back to Song Qinghuan’s side, his long hand tenderly smoothing over her forehead, helping her sort out her messy long hair, then he bent down and carried her away in a horizontal lift.
Throughout this, he didn’t say a word. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Nobody dared to speak to him. Although his expression seemed unchanged from usual, the aura he gave off felt icy cold.
When Song Qinghuan woke up, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Her breath seemed uneven, as if there was something in her lungs, and her throat and lips were painfully dry.
Giving a reluctant sigh, her gaze wandered around the room until it fell onto Shi Yuhuan, who was wearing a beige casual suit, standing with his back towards her by the window.
She stared at him blankly for a moment, forgetting the discomfort of her body, and struggled to sit up.
Shi Yuhuan, sensing her slight movement, turned around. Realizing she was awake, he walked over, sat on the side of her bed, and asked, “Awake?”
His face was still as cold as ever, but his tone was noticeably softer.
Then he gently placed a hand on her forehead.
On such a cold day, having fallen into the water, he was checking if she had a fever.
Song Qinghuan felt a sudden embarrassment, her heart pounding wildly with nerves, her cheeks flushing hotly.
