After all, the sweet soup had just been served from the casserole and was very hot.

The spoon slipped and the hot juice splashed onto Li Shuyan's hands. She screamed "Ah" and dropped the bowl.

As a result, the soup bowl fell into the pot and more soup splashed out, landing squarely on the backs of Qiao Shinian and Yin Xiaoshi's hands.

They both screamed in pain and retracted their hands.

"Are you OK!"

Huo Yanci immediately stood up and grabbed Qiao Shinian's hand across the table.

At this moment, with a "bang", Yin Xiaoshi's chair fell backwards!

Yin Xiaoshi was closer to the soup, so she was scalded more severely. She moved too much to avoid it and fell to the ground with the chair.

Huo Yanci had no time to care about her. He glanced at the back of Qiao Shinian's scalded hand, poured his own cold tea over her, and ordered the waiter who was standing there in a daze, "Why are you standing there? Bring me some cold water!"

"Yes Yes!"

The waiter hurriedly went to get some water, and Li Shuyan finally seemed to have recovered from the accident, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"Shi Nian, are you okay?" Li Shuyan asked nervously.

Qiao Shinian did not say anything. Her skin, which had been soaked by the water, felt hot. She wanted to shrink back in pain, but Huo Yanci said in a deep voice, "Don't move!"

"Ms. Yin, why did you fall? Get up quickly!" Li Shuyan walked to Yin Xiaoshi's side.

"Oh, your hand was burned too. I'm so sorry!"

Li Shuyan apologized guiltily.

She wanted to follow suit and get the cold tea on the table, but Huo Yanci had already poured all of it on the back of Qiao Shinian's hand.

"It's okay, the waiter will be here soon." Li Shuyan comforted Yin Xiaoshi.

Yin Xiaoshi bit her lip and was helped up by Li Shuyan with a pale face.

The waiter brought cold water and was accompanied by the restaurant manager. They apologized and dealt with the situation.

At the same time, another person dressed as a supervisor came with burn ointment.

Huo Yanci frowned and took it, then quickly wiped it for Qiao Shinian.

His movements were careful and gentle, for fear of hurting her.

Huo Yanci had now walked in front of Qiao Shinian. When he bent down to apply medicine on her, Qiao Shinian could clearly smell the fresh scent on his hair.

And Qiao Shinian's hand was held tightly by Huo Yanci.

Perhaps it was because the temperature of Huo Yanci's palm was too high that Qiao Shinian felt as if he had difficulty breathing.

She subconsciously took a small step back, but was pulled back by Huo Yanci.

The two of them got closer.

The waiter also helped Yin Xiaoshi apply the medicine.

The restaurant manager apologized again and said they would take due responsibility.

"It has nothing to do with you. It was because I was too careless that Shi Nian and Miss Yin got burned."

Li Shuyan said with great remorse, "Go and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything else."

After the restaurant staff left, Li Shuyan apologized to Qiao Shinian and Yin Xiaoshi again, and said that she would send them to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Yin Xiaoshi said, "It's okay, the wound is not serious," while her charming eyes looked at Huo Yanci expectantly, as if she wanted him to give her some comfort.

Qiao Shinian naturally saw it, and she pulled her hand back from Huo Yanci's grasp, "Miss Yin's hand is quite serious, you should accompany her to the hospital."

Huo Yanci raised his eyes and glanced at her.

The two were too close, and Qiao Shinian even saw in Huo Yanci's eyes that he wanted to retreat.

She could also feel his breathing becoming heavier.

After a while, Huo Yanci sneered faintly from his throat. He ignored her and looked at Yin Xiaoshi with his dark eyes. "Let's go to the hospital."

Yin Xiaoshi seemed to have finally received attention, and tears of grievance fell down in an instant. She said obediently, "Mr. Huo, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt."

"It's more reassuring to check it out."

Huo Yanci said this and extended his hand towards Yin Xiaoshi.

Yin Xiaoshi glanced at Qiao Shinian hesitantly, then walked closer to Huo Yanci and carefully took his arm.

Watching the tall and handsome Huo Yanci and the charming Yin Xiaoshi both disappear outside the door, Qiao Shinian never showed any expression.

"Shi Nian, why don't you go to the hospital and let the doctor check you out?" Li Shuyan asked with concern.

Qiao Shinian turned to look at Li Shuyan and asked directly, "Ms. Li, you knew Huo Yanci would come to this restaurant with Miss Yin. Did you choose this place on purpose?"

Just like the accident with the homeless man last time, Qiao Shinian felt that what happened today was also very coincidental.

Li Shuyan was also present.

Could there be so many coincidences in just one or two times?

Li Shuyan was stunned at first, and then her beautiful eyes became moist, "Shi Nian, why do you think so?"

"I just heard people say the food here is delicious, so I wanted to come and try it. I was also surprised to meet Mr. Huo and the others."

Li Shuyan had a sad expression, "I'm sorry for letting you get burned. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have eaten here for free... I should have gone to another restaurant or waited for a table."

Qiao Shinian frowned slightly as she looked at Li Shuyan's guilty and sad expression.

If it wasn't a coincidence, why would Li Shuyan do this?

"Ms. Li, you entered Bozhou to be Huo Yanci's assistant. Do you have a good impression of him?" Qiao Shinian asked bluntly.

Li Shuyan still had tears in her eyes. "Mr. Huo is very good. My father is very satisfied with him and wants to bring us together. But I am not someone who can accept a man having someone else in his heart."

It can be seen that Li Shuyan was telling the truth.

Given Li Shuyan's conditions and personality, there is really no need for her to force herself to like a man who is not wholeheartedly devoted to her.

The back of Qiao Shinian's hand still hurt a little, so she didn't say anything else and said goodbye to Li Shuyan.

Li Shuyan insisted that the driver take her back, otherwise she would not feel at ease.

Qiao Shinian didn't object and got in the car as he was told.

When we returned to Mingyue Garden, Fu Tiantian had already arrived home.

"Have you seen the latest gossip?" Fu Tiantian came over and asked.

Qiao Shinian shook her head. She didn't have time to pay attention to gossip.

Fu Tiantian took out her phone and said, "It was Huo Yanci who did it. He was photographed having dinner at a restaurant with a little internet celebrity, and they were also photographed going to the hospital together!"

"Now netizens are speculating whether the little internet celebrity is pregnant. Huo Yanci is accompanying her for the check-up!"

Qiao Shinian almost choked on her saliva, "Pregnant? It's only been a few days since they were rumored to have spent a night together in the hotel, how could it be so fast?"

"Who says that the day when the scandal comes out is the day when they have something going on?"

Fu Tiantian said, "Couldn't they have been together earlier? Were they only discovered later?"

Qiao Shi read silently.

Fu Tiantian also said that the reason why netizens made such speculations was that they thought Yin Xiaoshi showed signs of morning sickness while eating, so Huo Yanci found something wrong and took her to the hospital.

Qiao Shinian didn’t know what to say. Netizens have a very strong imagination.

"Niannian, tell me the truth. If the internet celebrity was really pregnant, what would you think? Would you mind at all?" Fu Tiantian asked Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian looked at Fu Tiantian with her beautiful eyes——
