As she ran away from the house, a droplet of tears shed from her cheeks and glistened in the night as it fell.
It landed soundlessly in the grass and vanished like it never even existed.
She arrived unnoticed at Huo Chen’s house and left in similar fashion.
Back in the living room, Lu Zhaoyang loosen her embrace from Huo Chen.
She frowned and asked again, “Really?”
Could she have sensed it wrongly?
Was Huo Yunting right all along?
“I don’t know.”
Huo Chen shook his head not to deny, but out of confusion of his own feelings.
He combed his fingers through his hair and tried to keep his inner struggle walled inside.
“I have never considered the possibility of being with her.”
In fact, he had decided that once the mission was over, he would divorce her officially to return her freedom.
Lu Zhaoyang came to realize that he was baffled by the relationship and his own true feelings.
In any case, she still believed that Chen had started to like Wen He, if only a little, but did not realize it himself.
“Don’t think too much about it, you should get some rest.”
“Alright.”
Huo Chen felt a throbbing pain in his head. When he stood up and wobbled, she immediately helped him steady himself.
“I got this.” He removed her hand and smiled. “You should go home, Yunting would worry.”
“Okay.”
Lu Zhaoyang went to the door and turned around to take one last look at him. Relieved to see a thin smile on his face, she hastened her away out.
The moment she was out of sight, Huo Chen removed his facade and stopped smiling. Slowly, he made his way upstairs.
He opened the door to Wen He’s bedroom and lied on the bed.
Remnants of her feminine scent on the soft bed covers invaded his senses.
Huo Chen closed his eyes slowly.
The night was still young.
It was going to be a long, dreadful night.
On the other side of things, Lu Zhaoyang rushed her way home. She read the time and found that there were still fifteen minutes left until Huo Yunting’s expected return, so she urged the driver to drive faster.
“Please go faster.”
When they were back at the mansion, she looked around the dining room.
He was not home yet.
“Butler!”
She hailed the butler and said, “Let everyone in the house know that if Huo Yunting asks, tell him that I didn’t go anywhere tonight, okay?”
The butler fumbled and looked hesitant, so she waved impatiently, “Just go and do as I say, do not let Huo Yunting find out that I went to find Huo…”
She stopped herself abruptly.
Lu Zhaoyang watched in horror as Huo Yunting made his way leisurely down the stars.
“You… You’re back.”
Huo Yunting raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do continue, who did you visit that I shouldn’t find out? Hmm?”
“…” Lu Zhaoyang ignored him resolutely.
“Did you go to see Huo Chen?” Huo Yunting asked again.
Lu Zhaoyang sat back on the sofa and continued to ignore him.
She had gone and come back. There was nothing he could do about it now.
Huo Yunting came to the sofa and gently sat down beside her. He opened his arms and pulled her into a hug.
As his face closed in on hers, Lu Zhaoyang promptly crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at him “Huo Yunting, I’m still pregnant with your child. You’re not thinking of committing any domestic violence, are you? I’ll get a divorce!”
Huo Yunting narrowed his eyes and flicked a finger at her forehead.
“It’s true what they say, that pregnancy can make a woman dumb.”
“… What do you mean…”
Huo Yunting ruffled her hair and said softly, “Forget it. I will let this one go, but if you go out by yourself again, there will be consequences.”
