Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands

Chapter 522 522: A burning image



The sound of something falling heavily echoed inside the room, and Luo Huian turned around at once. She completely forgot the teachings of her father and kicked open the door. Though she knew that it was wrong of her to enter the room of the opposite gender, Luo Huian was way too worried about Qi Yongrui to care about such things.

Once the door was kicked open, she rushed inside the room, which was dimly lit. At first she didn't find anything and it was only when she looked around that she found the mer lying on the ground. He was not moving, which scared Luo Huian so much that she immediately walked over to where the mer was lying and picked him up.

It was only when she saw that his eyes were moving that she heaved a sigh of relief.

"What do you think you are doing?" she asked as she helped the mer back on the bed. "Did I not arrange for a nurse? Why are you messing around—"

"I forgot."

She was still speaking when Qi Yongrui interrupted her. Surprised, Luo Huian raised her head and questioned, "What did you say?"

"I said that I forgot," Qi Yongrui bitterly responded. He turned his head and looked at Luo Huian before saying to her, "I have never relied on anyone for anything all my life and all of a sudden I have to rely on someone. Do you think I can accept this just like that?" His voice broke off as he added, "I can't."

Luo Huian didn't know how to comfort the mer when she heard and saw how broken he was. She pursed her lips and then sat down next to the mer before saying to him, "I know it's a little hard to accept at the moment. But there is no need to give up — we can still turn the situation around. There is still a little bit of hope."

"You don't have to lie to me." Listening to her words, Qi Yongrui smiled in a derisive manner. He said to her, "I know and I have heard the doctors say that it's absolutely impossible for me to stand back on my feet; you don't have to lie to me."

He knew his condition too well and he also knew that the damage to his legs was too severe for him to recover. Since he knew that it was impossible, why would he waste his time hoping and praying that things would get better soon?

[Ding.]

[The Aura of Gloom has risen by +80 points.]

[Current destiny: Death.]

[Current Aura of Gloom: +99000]

Luo Huian pursed her lips when she saw the astronomical number on the screen. She thought that this mer was taking it a bit too well and sure enough, Qi Yongrui was fooling everyone. Was this what he meant by that he was fine? If this was fine, then there was nothing wrong in this world! She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes twice before saying, "You need to eat."

"What did you say?" Qi Yongrui was certain that he missed something. They were discussing something so serious; so why did Luo Huian suddenly change her tune and say that he needed to eat? What did this matter have to do with his appetite?

"You didn't eat anything last night, did you?" Luo Huian simply questioned back. "I think it will be difficult for you to recover if you continue to starve yourself like this. I will go and cook something for you."

"No, you don't have to —" Qi Yongrui reached out to stop the woman but Luo Huian didn't hear a thing; she strode past the bed and crossed the room before pulling open the door and stepping out of the room.

Qi Yongrui could only watch her go. He sighed and muttered, "Even if you bring something for me to eat, it's not like I will eat it."

Of course, Luo Huian was aware of this. Thus, she not only set out to make a rice porridge along with a light mousse. Luo Huian knew that it wasn't right for her to make a mousse for Qi Chongrui but that mer's gloom aura was way too high!

If he didn't eat the mousse, then she was worried that his gloom aura would only rise higher. And she had no idea what the mer would do if he was left alone.

With her mind set, Luo Huian threw herself in the kitchen. She first took out an old hen and cleaned it up before putting it in the pot and leaving it to boil. At the same time, she started to whisk the eggs. Once the eggs were fluffy and creamy, she poured in the heavy cream and started to whisk it again.

She did it until the cream started to make soft peaks before adding the yolks of the eggs that she had separated earlier.

After mixing the two things up, she added the melted chocolate and folded everything together before scooping the mixture up and pouring it in the glasses that she had set out on the aisle.

Finished with her work, she put the glasses in the fridge to let it chill for a bit before turning to the chicken.

"It should be done by now, right?" She had left the chicken inside the pot for an hour or so to stew. Though Luo Huian had never cooked before, she was certain that the skills that she had downloaded from her system should be more or less fine.

Thus, without thinking about anything, she opened the lid of the pot and took out the chicken. Realising that it was cooked well, Luo Huian sighed in relief and placed the chicken in the shredder while dealing with the rice and starting on the porridge.

It took more than three hours to cook everything from scratch and by the time she was done, Luo Huian was sure that she was about to hear a snap in her waist. She was stronger than most humans but in the end, this body was also a normal human body.

Without getting any rest, she continued to work hard all day long. Now that she had stayed awake for more than three days, even Luo Huian had a feeling that she was about to fall.

She sighed in frustration before plating everything on a tray and heading upstairs.

"Rise and shine," she spoke in a sing-song voice as she kicked open the door of Qi Yongrui's room. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw the nurse wiping Qi Yongrui's body. The mer was completely naked as he hadn't taken a bath for days and didn't feel well with the dirt and murk sticking to his skin.

Thus, when the mer nurse came to help him, he asked him to wipe him off. Never did Qi Yongrui expect that Luo Huian would actually barge inside his room like this.

He was speechless and stunned. But after a second, as he snapped out of his daze, he covered his important bits with the bedsheet. His face was burning with embarrassment and a tinge of shame when he saw Luo Huian stare at his length.

When Qi Yongrui covered himself, Luo Huian also snapped out of her thoughts and her face turned red. She blinked her eyes furiously and said to him with a stutter, "I —I came to see —I mean, I brought food."

She raised the tray in her hands and showed it to Qi Yongrui, who hummed and said, "You can put it here; I will eat it after —I —I dress up."

Luo Huian wanted to stay with Qi Yongrui and watch him eat but now that such a thing had happened, she had no face to stay with him. She lowered her head and turned to walk out of the room without looking at the mer anymore.

The nurse: "..."

Are you two really married? If yes, why were they acting like a young couple in love?

He was speechless and curious but at the same time he stayed quiet as he knew that his position and job didn't allow him to gossip about anyone. With his head lowered, he continued to wipe Qi Yongrui's body off.

But as he peeked at the mer, his eyes couldn't help but widen. Why was this mer smiling like that?

On the other hand,

Luo Huian rushed to her room and threw herself on the bed. She wanted to erase that image from her head but even after trying for a long time, she realised that it was impossible. That slender yet strong waist with washboard abs, muscular thighs and that —

"ARGHHHH!!!" Luo Huian screamed as she covered her head with a pillow. She started hitting the mattress with her legs as she screamed in embarrassment and humiliation. If only she had known that the mer was naked then she would have never opened that door!
