Chapter 373 The toad wants to eat swan meat
He anxiously carried Zhou Ning to the side and sat down, half-knelt in front of her, and treated her wound immediately.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep.
"Does it hurt?"
When Zhou Ning was scratched, she felt a stinging pain, but now seeing Huo Qingzhou so panicked, she didn't feel that pain so much.
"Don't worry, I can bear this pain."
"No, you can't stand it."
"..."
Huo Qingzhou was determined. He carefully disinfected Zhou Ning's wound and prepared to take Zhou Ning back.
Bai Yu saw this scene not far away and clearly felt the difference in treatment.
It would not be nice to go back alone, so Zhou Ning wanted to say hello to her boss.
Wen Erya saw it and responded, "Okay, health is the most important thing, go back and rest."
Zhou Ning nodded, and the next second, she was picked up by Huo Qingzhou in public.
"I can……"
"Are you sure you can go now?"
"Walk slowly...it's still possible."
"No."
Huo Qingzhou was very firm in his attitude and walked forward holding Zhou Ning.
He carried Zhou Ning back to a nearby villa.
As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Zhou Ning was surprised to find that a doctor had already arrived.
"Help me check the condition of my wife's injuries." Huo Qingzhou ordered anxiously.
Zhou Ning was stunned. It was just a small wound and it wasn't enough to alarm the doctor.
Huo Qingzhou saw what she was thinking and patted her head: "Ningning, be good. Let the doctor check it out so that you can feel more at ease."
Zhou Ning nodded obediently.
After the doctor checked, it was found that there was nothing serious and he even prescribed some ointment.
Huo Qingzhou's heart was completely relieved.
Zhou Ning looked at him: "I told you it's nothing serious, don't worry too much."
"You're bleeding, how can I not worry?"
After Huo Qingzhou finished speaking, the stronger Zhou Ning looked, the more distressed he felt.
He sat down next to Zhou Ning, opened the ointment, and applied it to the woman's feet with gentle movements.
Zhou Ning's feet felt itchy when touched.
She suppressed her smile and tried to pull her legs back: "I can do it myself."
"No."
"But……"
"If you don't obey, I'll tickle you."
After hearing this, Zhou Ning didn't dare to move.
At this time, a doorbell rang.
"Someone is coming, go open the door."
Zhou Ning reminded him and took back his foot.
"We'll continue later."
Huo Qingzhou said something meaningful, walked to the door and opened it.
Zhou Ning was very curious about who was coming and vaguely heard a familiar female voice.
When that person walked in, Zhou Ning saw clearly that it was Bai Yu and his eyes changed.
Due to her status, she still greeted him calmly.
"Zhou Ning, I know you're injured, so I came to see you," Bai Yu said with concern, "How are you now? Are you okay?"
"I am fine."
"That's good."
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and took out the ointment from his pocket: "This is an ointment specially used to treat wounds. It is very effective. You can try it."
Zhou Ning declined on the grounds that she had ointment.
The attitude towards Bai language is very distant.
Bai Yu then turned his gaze to Huo Qingzhou: "Boss Huo, Zhou Ning doesn't appreciate my kindness, you should keep this bottle of ointment for Zhou Ning. I have used it before and it works very well. You can help Zhou Ning apply it later."
"Since it's so good, you should keep it for yourself."
Huo Qingzhou's attitude was equally distant.
Bai Yu's mouth curled slightly: "I still have some."
"Do not bother."
Bai Yu felt embarrassed, but seeing that the two of them were following the husband's lead, she knew that if Zhou Ning didn't accept it, Huo Qingzhou wouldn't dare to accept it easily, so she didn't force him any further. Instead, she smiled and said a few more words of concern.
No matter who sees it, they all think she is a kind-hearted leader who cares about her subordinates.
After leaving the villa, the smile on Bai Yu's lips immediately froze.
She kindly gave the ointment to Zhou Ning, wanting to show off in front of Huo Qingzhou, but the other party didn't appreciate it!
As expected, she became a rich lady and forgot her past identity.
As he was walking back, he unexpectedly met Wu Kang on the way.
"Where have you been?"
There was a probing look in Wu Kang's eyes.
Bai Yu's eyes flickered a few times: "I didn't go anywhere, just strolling around."
Wu Kang stared at her suspiciously: "I saw you walking towards Mr. Huo's villa."
Bai Yu had no choice but to smile against her will: "Zhou Ning's foot was scratched, I just went to see her and brought her a bottle of ointment."
"Are you trying to curry favor with Zhou Ning?"
"Of course not, I just want to show my concern."
"You would be so kind?"
Wu Kang delivered a fatal blow.
Bai Yu laughed: "After all, Zhou Ning and I are colleagues. We see each other all the time in the company. Besides, she is her leader, so I have to pay attention to her."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Wu Kang narrowed his eyes, "Are you planning to take advantage of Mr. Huo? Then I have to remind you that you're a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Bai Yu pursed her lips and clenched her palms tightly.
Looking around warily, Bai Yu walked up to the man and whispered, "Editor-in-Chief Wu, you really think too much. I already have a powerful backer like you, do I need anyone else?"
Seeing Wu Kang's expression gradually becoming happier, Bai Yu took advantage of the situation, continued to act coquettishly, and praised him several times, knowing that men would only take it easy.
As expected, Wu Kang stopped asking further questions and just thought he was overthinking.
"Come to my room later."
Bai Yu felt his scalp tingling when he heard Wu Kang's lewd words.
She had already disliked this man from the bottom of her heart. Not only was his face greasy, but he also didn't respect women. If she didn't think he was still useful, she wouldn't have been so devoted to him.
"Let's do it another day. Several leaders are here."
"You do not want?"
Wu Kang's tone was obviously unhappy.
"Of course I didn't mean that. I was mainly thinking about you. If you were discovered, it would be bad for you."
Bai Yu used all her skills to act coquettishly towards Wu Kang.
As his tone softened, Wu Kang's attitude also softened.
When Bai Yu left the villa and was busy dealing with Wu Kang, Huo Qingzhou was still busy taking care of Zhou Ning in the villa.
After applying the ointment, Zhou Ning felt cool and the wound didn't hurt much anymore.
Huo Qingzhou took good care of her, only allowing her to sit on the sofa. If she needed anything, she just had to ask.
"I want to eat fruit."
"Okay, I'll go cut it for you, just sit here and wait for me."
Huo Qingzhou answered and walked towards the kitchen to see what fruits were available.
Zhou Ning stared at his back, the corners of her mouth curled up. Although it was just a small wound, her heart was warmed when she saw Huo Qingzhou's anxiety and the serious look on his face.
After cutting the fruit, Huo Qingzhou walked out of the kitchen, only to see Zhou Ning standing up and preparing to walk in the other direction.
"Where are you going?"
Huo Qingzhou asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Ning paused, turned around and saw Huo Qingzhou frowning.
"I want……"
Before she could finish her words, Huo Qingzhou had already come to her quickly, carried her back to the sofa and sat down, saying:
"Didn't I tell you that your foot is injured? Tell me what you want."
"I don't want anything."
"Then tell me what you want to do, and I can help you."
"Well...you can't help me." Zhou Ning replied with a red face.
