Chapter 1161: Chapter 1174: Something Fishy (Part 5)
He was just about to speak when Aunt Rong came over.
"Sir, the madam’s soup is ready. Should I bring it over now?"
Aunt Rong looked at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan stood up, "Mm."
Aunt Rong returned to the kitchen, carried out the soup, walked ahead while Huo Jinnan followed behind, and they returned to the bedroom together.
At the door, Aunt Rong stopped.
Huo Jinnan stepped forward to help Aunt Rong push the door open.
At a glance, Aunt Rong saw Qin Huan sitting straight on the bed, her face pale to a terrifying degree, "Ma’am... madam, what’s wrong?"
The soup bowl in her hand almost fell; she steadied it just in time, quickly walked in and placed it on the bedside table, and looked towards Qin Huan.
Qin Huan was covered in a layer of cold sweat and, still shaken, looked up at Huo Jinnan, who had followed Aunt Rong in, and shook her head, "I’m fine, I just had a nightmare."
Aunt Rong took a glance and, being quite perceptive, spoke up, "Madam, the soup is ready, have it once it’s cooled down a bit. I’ll head out now."
Qin Huan responded with a sound. After seeing Aunt Rong out, her gaze fell back on Huo Jinnan as she thought of that nightmare, and the suffocating feeling in her chest became even more unbearable.
She would rather her worries be unnecessary than have anything happen to him!
Recalling the scene from the dream, she looked at Huo Jinnan with furrowed brows.
Huo Jinnan came over and sat beside her, "What kind of nightmare did you have?"
Seeing Aunt Rong go out, Qin Huan leaned on Huo Jinnan’s shoulder, "Since it’s a nightmare, I don’t want to talk about it."
She turned her head sideways, glanced at Huo Jinnan, gave him a light kiss on his cheek, and then picked up the phone to call Wen Hua, remembering that her uncle hadn’t called her yet after returning.
It only rang twice before it got connected, "Uncle, have you reached home?"
—"Yes, I have."
Qin Huan, "That’s good."
...
Not really in the mood for a conversation, she chatted briefly and then hung up.
Huo Jinnan sat beside her, listening, with his brows furrowed. Hearing Qin Huan hang up the call, he asked softly, "Did uncle get home?"
Qin Huan, "Mm, he did."
Huo Jinnan didn’t say anything more.
Uncle Lu hasn’t come back yet; it’s impossible that nothing happened.
That was indeed Wen Hua’s voice just now; it was Xiang Xiran, it shouldn’t be wrong.
He handed his phone to Qin Huan, "Help me call uncle’s number."
Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan said in a low voice, "There’s some company business I want to ask him about."
Qin Huan took the phone, dialed, and handed it to Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan picked up the phone and put it to his ear, "Sorry, the number you are dialing is temporarily unavailable..."
After waiting for a while, Huo Jinnan put down the phone, looked towards Qin Huan’s direction, "Maybe uncle is busy and didn’t answer."
...
During dinner, Uncle Guan returned.
Entering the dining room, he saw Qin Huan and just glanced at her without saying anything.
The old man looked at Uncle Guan, "Sit there and eat."
Uncle Guan sat down and prepared to eat.
After dinner, Uncle Guan, the old man, and Huo Jinnan went to the study.
Qin Huan returned to the bedroom to check on the child.
Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing it was her uncle, she answered.
—"Huanhuan, I just saw Jinnan’s call. When I called back, no one answered."
Qin Huan frowned; he seemed to have his phone with him, "He went to the study with my grandpa, probably didn’t hear it."
—"Oh, I see. I just wanted to ask about his health condition."
"Health condition?"
Qin Huan repeated.
—"Huanhuan, do you know Jinnan is infected with the virus?"
