Lu chewed and let the sweetness of the prawn fill her palate . Her man was as sweet, like time never turned back to before .
They used to have a future and a solid ground for them to hold hands .
Well, not anymore!
It hurt her heart even more thinking about it .
Her sight grew blurry as tears welled up in her eyes . It was corrosive as her toxic family but she must swallow it like her pride .
That was when a peculiar heat raided her ears, that caused her body to stiffen .
"I see . " It was Huo Yunting, whispering with a smile, "My uncle actually knows you well . "
There was no response from his woman, only a few soft cracks coming from her knuckles holding the chopsticks .
Oh wow, all the rage just because of the few words I uttered .
"Sister knows best . " He smiled, "Not forgetting to pick more husbands on the road, just like your mother . I am so *impressed* . "
The chopsticks snapped before they fell onto the ground .
Huo Yunting, on the successful attempt of enraging the beast, straightened his back as he smiled like a jolly knight .
"Please get her another pair of chopsticks," said Huo Chen proactively to the maid .
"I'm fine . I'm done anyway . Enjoy the evening while I'll be in my room . " Lu quickly wiped her mouth, obviously tired with the dinner .
She had already planned to leave from the beginning . It was merely Huo Yunting's senseless words that had become the last straw . She frantically got up and scurried from the scene . Huo Chen looked at his beloved running away, with worries in his eyes .
Madam Xue sighed as she viewed her daughter's exit, and was particularly astonished by Chen's concerning stare .

It felt a little too much for a kind cousin, to be frank .
There must be some other reasons but Madam Xue could not figure out any, as she looked at her plate, digging in again .
Huo Chen's dinner finally began after Lu had left, while Huo Yunting lost his smiley grimace staring at the empty seat next to him .
Lu ran back to her room and locked the door, the windows, even the ones in the bathroom .
Huo Yunting was a master thief . He could just show up at any door or window magically .
In the spacious room contained by the darkness, the curtains were pulled shut . She sat on the cold floor of polished marble, rubbing her face on her knees .
Finally, she could cry . She could cry as much as she wanted . No one would bother this time . The expression of her entity, her true feelings, they all overflowed in her heart like her tears streaming down her cheeks . She gradually shifted to the carpet and sobbed .
Why it has to be like this today?

What has happened?
There were over 7 . 7 billion people in this world, why must the unfortunate person be me, who got caught up with the Huo family?
It almost felt like karma, especially with Huo Yunting .
He probably came back to avenge himself on me .
Why?
A few knocks on the door disrupted her thoughts . It was a very specific rhythm and she knew who it was .
"Yang, could I talk to you for a moment?" The voice rang warmly from the outside .

Lu immediately wiped her eyes in circles of messy mascaras .
She wanted to meet him but she did not know how .
Even if she tried avoiding Chen at all cost, it would be only a matter of time till they met again in this cursed mansion .
Thus, the obvious solution would be to clarify everything before things happened .
She gravely pulled her body up from the carpet . She was panting as she dragged herself to the door . It was dead silent out there but she could feel his comforting presence behind the door .
He was always that patient with her .
She stood up as soon as she arrived by the door . She took a deep breath, tidied up her tousled hair and turned the doorknob .
The yellowish light of the corridor shone into her room, like Chen's existence into her life .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
