“Well, this skeleton belongs to the 14th corpse dissected by Big Brother.”
Yan Jinyi’s hand trembled as she held onto the skeleton.
“What do you mean?”
“Madam, you have no idea that Brother has a side profession, and that is a forensic pathologist.”
‘Forensic pathologist…”
“If I remember correctly, the corpse should have belonged to an inmate on the death row.”
Seeing that Yan Jinyi didn’t answer, Huo Xishen continued, “Three years ago, Brother attended an academic conference overseas and assisted them in determining the identity of a decomposed corpse belonging to a death row inmate who had been on the loose for years. As a reward, they let Brother bring this skeleton back for research.”
“Since it was already decomposed, what is there to study and research on?”
‘Is he lonely?’
Huo Xishen smiled and said, “The skeletal structure. He wanted to find out if the method of death would affect the skeletal structure of the corpse.”
‘Huo Chengyu is such a psycho.’
Yan Jinyi suddenly felt a chill all over her body as she looked at the skeleton in her arms, after which she tossed it away frantically.
It was one thing for her to like studying skeletons and another to let a real skeleton sleep next to her in the middle of the night.
“Milady, do you want to sleep in my arms tonight?” Huo Xishen teased with raised brows.
Yan Jinyi subconsciously pulled the quilt tightly over her body. “Sleep in your arms for what?”
“To soothe your wounded heart.”
Yan Jinyi seethed and said, “You’re out of your mind.”
After saying that, she leaned backwards and exclaimed, “Dog, I’m very good at martial arts. If you dare to cross the line, I’ll castrate you!”
Huo Xishen found it to be a shame. “My wife, you’re indeed different from others.”
In the end, it was Huo Xishen who accompanied Yan Jinyi to the hospital.
The two of them were greeted by the director himself when they arrived at the hospital.
“Mr. Huo, Second Young Mistress Huo, you two are so loving. Even though you’re so busy, you still take the time out to accompany Second Young Mistress Huo for a checkup.”
‘Checkup? What checkup? Who needs a checkup?’
Yan Jinyi looked at Huo Xishen apprehensively while the latter simply nodded indifferently. “It’s only my duty.”
There were a few nurses behind, and the director started swooning when they saw the esteemed helmsman of Huo Group.
‘Mr. Huo’s wife is so lucky!’
‘I’m so envious of Second Young Mistress Huo!’
“I’ve already made all the arrangements. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Huo. Please come with me.”
Overwhelmed with confusion, Yan Jinyi followed behind him.
Yan Xin was leaning on the hospital bed and looking at the person in front of her with displeasure. “Didn’t you say that the Huo family will definitely acknowledge the baby? Are you sure that Second Young Mistress Huo is really your niece?”
“That b*tch is simply heartless. Hmph, the Huo Family cares about their pride the most, and once this thing blows up, they’d have to accept you and the baby even if they don’t want to, because they’ll be compelled by the public.”
The person standing in front of Yan Xin’s bed was none other than Chen Yulian, Yan Jinyi’s so-called aunt.
“Are you sure? Second Young Mistress Huo seems to be an actress, recently…”
“I advise you better not to announce the fact that Yan Jinyi is Second Young Mistress Huo. That little b*tch thinks she can stand firm in the entertainment industry with her abilities so we shall see. Why bother helping her with the publicity by making more people find out her identity?”
‘Second Young Mistress Huo’s aunt is really vicious.’
Yan Xin drank a mouthful of water and said, “Second Young Mistress Huo’s career has nothing to do with me. I can’t be bothered to pay attention to it either. I just need you to ensure that I can marry Huo Zihang.”
Chen Yulian suddenly smiled and said, “Of course, as long as you don’t forget me when you become his wife…”
“I naturally won’t.”
