Xun Nuo's eyes remained calm, her expression seemingly undisturbed, but inside, there was an unwavering sense of fear she couldn't shake off.
After a moment, she lightly closed her eyes, "What if I insist on getting rid of it? What will you do then?"
Huo Jingyan fell silent.
He delayed answering, and just when Xun Nuo thought he wasn't going to respond, his deep voice slowly broke the silence, "I won't let you off."
...
When they returned, the servants had already prepared dinner.
Huo Xiong's condition had recently improved; on good weather days, Shen Xianyu would often accompany him outside for walks. Aside from the servants, only they two were at home.
Xun Nuo had no appetite and had no intention of eating, turning around to go back to her bedroom.
Seeing this, Huo Jingyan quickly grabbed her arm, "Eat first, then rest afterwards."
"I'm not hungry."
"You still have to eat something." He was always domineering, never allowing her to utter half a word of refusal.
