Huo Chuan stared at Yun Qing, trying to catch something in her eyes.
Shock.
Alienation.
Resistance.
…
Amidst his various emotions, Huo Chuan realized that Yun Qing did not seem to dislike him!
Huo Chuan suddenly gained an inexplicable sense of confidence, and the tenderness in his eyes increased. He could not help but reach out his hand to stroke Yun Qing’s head, but in the next second, Yun Qing shrank back, as if Huo Chuan was a monster.
Huo Chuan’s outstretched hand froze, and his heart, which had been clear and bright just a moment ago, became enshrouded in stormclouds again.
Yun Qing sensed Huo Chuan’s overflowing emotions, but such feelings made her extremely resistant.
Could it be that men really only knew how to appreciate their treasure after losing them?
“Yun Qing, I meant every word I said… During this period of time, I missed you every single day, and I will also think of the time we were together before…”
“When we were together?” Yun Qing interrupted Huo Chuan. “Were you with me? Were you even with me when we were still husband and wife?”
Huo Chuan was speechless for a moment.
Yun Qing was right. After they got married, he had almost never cherished her. He had even hurt her time and time again.
“I’m sorry…” Huo Chuan spat out those words with desperate force.
The only person who could make Huo Chuan apologize was probably Yun Qing.
However, those words did not cause any ripples in Yun Qing’s heart. Instead, it was the fervent love and pleading in Huo Chuan’s eyes that shocked Yun Qing.
Had Huo Chuan truly fallen in love with her?
If that was really the case, it would be ridiculously ironic.
Yun Qing quickly retracted her gaze and regained her usual calmness. “President Huo, you don’t have to apologize to me. It’s all in the past.
“Besides, since I’ve proposed a divorce, it means that I’ve given it all the thought I could give.”
These words were undoubtedly a huge boulder that was thrown at Huo Chuan.
Did Yun Qing mean that she would not give him another chance?
Was she really not willing to give him a single chance?
But she had clearly loved him so much in the past.
“Yun Qing, it was all my fault in the past, but I’ve seen it clearly now. I like you, and I love you too…” Huo Chuan was unwilling to give up just like that. His voice was hoarse, and his dry throat seemed to have been cut by a knife.
In the face of Huo Chuan’s sudden confession, Yun Qing thought that she was hearing things.
He liked her? He loved her?
If it was before, she might have been so excited by this sentence that she would be unable to sleep for several nights. But now, she only found it amusing.
What was the use of talking about love after losing it? Could this make up for the damage Huo Chuan had done to her previously?
Yun Qing pursed her lips and met Huo Chuan’s passionate gaze. She said coldly, “But I don’t like you anymore.
“I’m grateful that you saved me this time. If you want some compensation, I can have a word with my brother and my father. Also, I need to rest. Please leave.”
After hearing Yun Qing’s words, the wound in Huo Chuan’s heart was torn open, and it was dripping with blood.
Even though Huo Chuan had a thousand words in his heart, he could only do as Yun Qing asked him to leave.
He lowered his eyes and agreed, “Okay, you have a good rest.
“But, Yun Qing, I will pay you back what I owe you.”
After saying that, Huo Chuan left without looking back.
Yun Qing’s back was facing him, and her breathing stopped for a moment. Then, the corner of her mouth revealed a sad smile.
Ah, so he did know that he owed her.
However, how was Huo Chuan going to pay back the blood that she had lost and her broken heart?
Yun Qing had long noticed the change in Huo Chuan’s attitude towards her. However, she found it hard to accept the fact that he was willing to expose all the vulnerabilities in his heart to her just like that.
The original her was as lowly as dust, treating Huo Chuan as her entire world. If Huo Chuan had treated her like this at that time, would she still be living happily together with Huo Chuan now?
Unfortunately, there were no “if”s in this world.
The more Huo Chuan loved her, the more he cherished her, the more ridiculous Yun Qing would find the entire affair.
On the blue sea, the ship sailed slowly.
A man in a windbreaker stood on the deck. The blood on the bandage on his abdomen was clearly visible.
The wind messed up his hair, making Huo Chuan, who already developed a stubble, look even more haggard.
