Chapter 165: That Damned Liar
Yun Qing saw that Huo Chuan had stopped moving. She looked up and saw that he was staring at the watch.
A mocking smile appeared on her face. “So you still remember this watch?”
“Yes, you gave it to me for my birthday. It’s just that…”
“It’s just that your watch is missing, isn’t it?”
Yun Qing laughed coldly and told Huo Chuan what was on his mind.
“How do you know?”
Huo Chuan’s expression changed drastically as he strode towards Yun Qing.
A sense of oppression assaulted her. Yun Qing’s expression tensed up as she frowned.
“Because your watch is also with me.”
Yun Qing opened the drawer and took out the man’s watch that belonged to Huo Chuan.
The diamond on the watch shone under the sunlight outside the window, stinging Huo Chuan’s eyes.
“President Huo, you’re looking for this watch, right?”
Yun Qing raised the watch. It was the one Huo Chuan had been looking for recently.
Why would the birthday present he had lost suddenly appear in Yun Qing’s Place?
“Why do you have it?”
Huo Chuan was puzzled.
Yun Qing’s eyes flashed. She did not want to answer this question.
But she also knew Huo Chuan’s personality. If she did not tell him, he would only pester her endlessly.
“I thought you knew.”
Yun Qing opened her mouth and went along with Huo Chuan’s wishes.
“This watch was given to me by Miss Bai Ting one morning. She told me delicately that you had drunk too much at night and stayed at her place. In the end, you forgot to take the watch with you.”
“So, the kind and gentle Miss Bai personally sought me out and gave me your watch.”
It was this incident that made Yun Qing feel the despair of this marriage for the first time.
She still remembered the confrontation between her and Bai Ting that day.
At that time, she had been utterly defeated in front of the arrogant Bai Ting.
Fortunately, she managed to escape in time and sent Bai Ting to prison.
Upon hearing of this incident, Huo Chuan was struck by lightning.
For so long, Huo Chuan had never known about this incident.
His eyes flashed with confusion and pain as Yun Qing sneered.
Perhaps she had seen wrongly.
How could a cold-blooded animal like Huo Chuan be in pain because of her?
“President Huo, I know that our three years together was hell for you. I gave you something that you didn’t like. There is no need for me to return this watch to you.
“I bought it anyway. It is my duty to keep it.”
Huo Chuan’s hand trembled slightly as he hurriedly said, “I didn’t.”
He had to explain everything to Yun Qing.
Even he couldn’t remember when he had spent the night at Bai Ting’s place.
This was absolutely impossible!
It had to be that damn liar, Bai Ting!
If he had discovered Bai Ting’s true colors at that time and didn’t let her stir up trouble in front of Yun Qing, would he and Yun Qing not have come to this point?
“Bai Ting is lying. I have never stayed over at her place, and I would not have gone to look for her after drinking…”
Huo Chuan panicked.
He was completely flustered.
Yun Qing smiled faintly and did not care much. “Is that so?”
She did not believe Huo Chuan’s words at all.
If he had really not gone, why would the couple’s watch that she had given Huo Chuan be with Bai Ting?
However, Yun Qing did not mind it.
It did not matter whether Huo Chuan stayed at Bai Ting’s place or not.
After all, they were divorced.
“Yun Qing, I know that you hate me, and I know that you don’t want to believe me. However, I really want to make it up to you. If you have any other requests, I will try my best to fulfill them.”
Huo Chuan was extremely serious.
There was still a lot that he wanted to say.
However, when the words reached his mouth, there was only one sentence left.
What else could he say in the face of Yun Qing’s distrust and coldness?
Under such circumstances, no matter how much he said, it would be futile.
Yun Qing picked up the tea and took a sip as if nothing had happened. She said, “President Huo, that project is your compensation for me.
“After the project is over, we won’t owe each other anymore.”
We won’t owe each other anymore.
It would be best if they never contacted each other again and lived their own lives.
Then, without waiting for Huo Chuan to react, Yun Qing dialed the internal line.
“Zhu Zhan, come and see the guest out.”
In less than a few seconds, the office door was knocked on, and Zhu Zhan walked in.
“President Huo, this way please.”
Huo Chuan clenched his fists and left Yun Qing’s office obediently.
