It’s Huo Chuan again!
Why did he come here?!
Yun Qing felt a headache setting in.
It was too late for her to escape. The moment Huo Chuan saw her, he already stood up and strode over.
In front of Yun Qing, Huo Chuan glanced coldly at the branch head standing beside Yun Qing and then looked at Yun Qing. “Why did you go abroad?”
“Why? Do I have to report to you when I go abroad?” Yun Qing did not roll her eyes at Huo Chuan, which was already a sign of mercy.
“No need, I just wanted to ask you,” Huo Chuan said calmly.
The branch head saw the undercurrent between the two of them at a glance and coughed twice. “President Yun, is this your friend?”
“No.” Yun Qing quickly denied it.
This denial made the branch head’s imagination run wild.
He felt like a third wheel and said, “President Yun, I’ll carry on first. I’ll leave you guys be.”
After saying that, he flew away from the awkward atmosphere just now, leaving the space to Yun Qing and Huo Chuan.
“Did you come here because you didn’t want to see me? I heard that you won’t be going back,” Huo Chuan said bluntly.
Yun Qing frowned slightly. Not going back? Who said that?
“I came here because I have some business to discuss with the company. Who told you that I’m not going back?” Yun Qing was puzzled.
Huo Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had not intended to flee him.
However, he and Wang Fang seemed to have been fooled by Yun Zhe. Even so, it did not matter. He was able to see Yun Qing thanks to that.
“Yun Qing, do you want to have a meal together?” Huo Chuan spoke first, after a moment of silence.
Yun Qing felt that Huo Chuan would follow her even if she refused, so she simply agreed, “Sure.”
For the first time, Yun Qing had agreed to have a meal together. Huo Chuan thought that he had misheard it and revealed a rare smile, “Really?”
“Forget it if you don’t want to eat.” Yun Qing was speechless.
“Yes, please!” Huo Chuan had to seize this opportunity and quickly followed Yun Qing.
Yun Qing thought that Huo Chuan was being such a child now, happy with just a little candy.
She had not expected Huo Chuan to chase after her overseas, and even more so, she did not expect Huo Chuan to wait for her in the company for so long.
In the end, it still got to her.
Sometimes, Yun Qing also wanted to scold herself to wake up—why would she be soft-hearted to someone who constantly hurt her?
But sometimes, she could not control herself.
The two of them walked on the streets. They were a very beautiful pair, attracting a lot of attention.
Yun Qing appeared to be aloof and neutral. She maintained a certain social distance from Huo Chuan. The two of them did not look like a couple, nor did they look like friends.
Huo Chuan, on the other hand, glanced at Yun Qing from time to time. The soft glow of the setting sun dyed Yun Qing’s face with a hue of gentle gold.
A few times, he wanted to reach out and hug Yun Qing’s shoulder, but just as he raised his hand a little, he quietly put it down again.
He did not dare to cross the line. Sometimes crossing the line would only force them apart again.
“What do you want to eat?” Huo Chuan decided to break the long silence.
“Whatever.” Obviously, Yun Qing did not want to answer him.
Huo Chuan was patient. He just smiled and asked gently, “How about something Western?”
“You can eat whatever you want.” Yun Qing did not want to discuss this topic with Huo Chuan. She did not even want to talk to him anymore.
Huo Chuan was already used to Yun Qing’s coldness. Now, it did not matter even if Yun Qing was cold to him. As long as she was willing to talk to him, it was enough.
“Then let’s eat some Western. I know a good place nearby.”
When Huo Chuan was still a soldier, he had settled in this neighborhood for a period.
Yun Qing said nothing and followed Huo Chuan’s footsteps to their destination.
“Wait a moment, I’m going to buy something. Just wait for me here,” Huo Chuan suddenly said. Before Yun Qing could reply, Huo Chuan turned around and walked away briskly. She did not know where he was going.
This man, what was he up to this time?
Yun Qing kicked the pebbles under her feet in annoyance. She just wanted to finish dinner with Huo Chuan as soon as possible and then emphasize their relationship again—just like the time when Huo Chuan was drunk, she wanted to tell him the same thing… after that, they should just be strangers.
Just as she was waiting for Huo Chuan, she heard footsteps. Yun Qing looked up and saw a few foreigners looking at her with ill intentions.
