Chapter 24
"Just make sure you're fine, I don't need you to be responsible."

Huo Yuxiao looked at Shen Manxi indifferently, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling that made him caress her forehead unconsciously.

It was as if he was treating someone who had been by his side, every movement to wipe off her cold sweat was so gentle.

Shen Manxi looked at him, although his behavior was very abrupt, but she blushed unconsciously.

This is not a good sign for her.

"I'm fine, you go out first." Pushing away Huo Yuxiao's hand, Shen Manxi ordered him to evict.

It just so happened that at this moment, there was another roar and thunder in the sky.

She was so frightened that she threw herself into Huo Yuxiao's arms without even thinking about it, and grabbed the fabric of his chest tightly, not letting go.

No matter how fierce and cold she becomes, some habits from her previous life are still difficult to get rid of. The fact that she was afraid of thunder since she was a child is the best example.

In the past, her parents were by her side, and later it was He Shaoxuan. The two years of stability made her naively think that with He Shaoxuan's careful care and love, she would be happy for a lifetime.

In the end, it became her indelible grief...

Huo Yuxiao lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Manxi who was leaning in his arms. He was obviously very fragile, but he always disguised himself as a cold and ruthless person, which really made people feel distressed.

"If you're afraid of too many things, you can share the same bed with me, and I won't do anything presumptuous to you."

"No! I don't want to share the same bed with you. If something happens, whose fault is it? Besides, why am I afraid? I just don't want to hear thunder."

Shen Manxi had just finished speaking, and there were several thunderbolts outside, which seemed to shatter the windows. She shrank into Huo Yuxiao's arms in fright, and almost cried out.

Huo Yuxiao looked at her and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Then why are you holding onto me so tightly? Your clothes are going to be torn apart by you."

"Me!" Shen Manxi refused to accept and wanted to refute, but there was constant thunder outside, and she huddled in Huo Yuxiao's arms, not even daring to lift her head.

Who would have thought that when dealing with Lin Qianqian who was as vicious as Lin Qianqian before, she would be afraid of thunder, lying in Huo Yuxiao's arms and trembling like a little rabbit.

It was the first time for Huo Yuxiao to see such a contrast, and he couldn't help being a little more interested in her, "Since you're afraid, be honest, I don't mind letting you carry on."

No, no, no!Shen Manxi yelled in her heart, but her body was very honest. She was so frightened by the thunder that she almost threw Huo Yuxiao into the bed and hugged her.

Seeing her like this, Huo Yuxiao thought of the ice-cold ink eyes, and he also felt tenderness. He stroked his long, silky hair, "Sometimes it's not a good thing for a woman to be too stubborn. You have to rely on others or be weak." It won't be that painful."

In this case, he seems to have said it to that person before, but it's been too long, if he doesn't mention it today, he will forget it...

Shen Manxi pressed close to his heart, and when he heard what he said, she felt a little strange in her heart, and she didn't deny anything, just hugged him like this and didn't let go.

After a long time, the thunder stopped.

Huo Yuxiao saw that she had fallen asleep in his arms, so he gently put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, got up and left.

A gentleman does something and doesn't. With the current relationship between him and Shen Manxi, it's better to keep some distance.

……

The next morning, Shen Manxi called Gu Qiao, and found the phone number of the assistant in charge of the XY medical institution from her.

The poisonous insects in the bracelet in the previous life caused unrest in the entire Shengjing, and my father was so tired of it that he almost died suddenly. Now that the bracelet has passed through the hands of his mother, it is unknown whether it will be boarded.

She had to stop all this before things got worse.

After understanding, XY medical institution is currently the top medical group, and it is among the best in the world medical association.

For this kind of poisonous insect that can spread, maybe they have a better way to target and stop it.

However, the assistant to the person in charge of the XY medical institution got through the phone, but was told that their person in charge had temporarily left the country for business, and the exact time of his return was undecided.

Shen Manxi knew that this was a trick used by some business executives to target people they didn't want to see. After all, they were all businessmen, and no one would show up if they were not profitable.

She directly asked someone to take her to the XY medical institution, and sat in the main hall downstairs, waiting for the person in charge to return.

After a week like this, she waited there unmoved, and finally the assistant in charge agreed to introduce their person in charge for her.

Soon, the assistant came. When Shen Manxi saw that it was Lu Ran, she looked surprised and thought he was here to work part-time.

Lu Ran was in front with a blank expression, and led her to the office of the person in charge on the top floor.

After entering the door, Shen Manxi looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on the person sitting at the desk in the center of the front.

In an instant, her bright eyes were more surprised than seeing Lu Ran, "It turned out to be you, Huo Yuxiao?"

When Huo Yuxiao saw her, he remained indifferent, as if he knew it was her, "I founded the XY medical institution, which is not unusual."

Shen Manxi looked at him, obviously feeling cheated, "Since you are the person in charge of XY Medical Institution, why didn't you tell me clearly, and kept me out for so long."

"I don't want to expose my identity, but I don't want you to stay in my place all the time."

The reasons are simple and clear, and sufficient.

Shen Manxi didn't talk nonsense, she just slid the wheelchair over and looked at him and said, "I want to use your medical institution to prevent the vicious catastrophe that the poisonous insects will cause in advance. Especially my parents, I don't want them to be in trouble."

Since it is such a coincidence that the person in charge of XY is Huo Yuxiao, then she has nothing to tweak.

Huo Yuxiao looked at her, tapped the platinum pen on his hand, his eyes were dark and bottomless, "I'm curious, how did you know that the poisonous insect would definitely bring about a catastrophe?"

"It will reproduce and lay eggs on its own, spread out and infect the poisonous insects that parasitize others. If it is not controlled, even if I don't say it, catastrophe will inevitably occur."

Shen Manxi watched him calmly and indifferently. She had already guessed that Huo Yuxiao would question her, and she had already figured out how to respond when he found out.

Huo Yuxiao imagined what she said. It is true that the disaster caused by poisonous insects is uncontrollable, but...

"It seems that this is the second time you have asked me to do something for you. You haven't acted for me yet."

Shen Manxi had already expected this, "You help me do these things, I will call my father later, if you want to meet him to discuss cooperation, you can do it anytime."

Seeing Shen Manxi being so straightforward, Huo Yuxiao also nodded and agreed to help her with this matter.

Shen Manxi also did not neglect, immediately called her father to inform her, and then took Huo Yuxiao to the Shen family's courtyard to meet him...

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Shen Manxi smiled and said to him, "Dad, Yu Xiao came to see you again with a gift. See how kind you are, uncle."
