Chapter 169
"Alright, alright . There's no important agenda today, so get some rest!"
Huo Li noticed how tired he looked, and for the first time ever did not blabber on . He left straight after that .
Huo Yunting quietly watched him leave, and then continued to rest .
The moment he closed his eyes, the image of Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen embracing each other came to him .
Suddenly, his fingers clenched tightly into fists . His knuckles turned white .
No matter where she was, Lu Zhaoyang was his wife .
That was her role, for now and forever!
…
An autumn breeze rippled the lake's surface . Withered leaves landed gracefully on the sparkling water surface .
Lu Zhaoyang sat on a long bench by the lake, absorbing the view of the lake . The wind ruffled her hair to her disregard .
Her entire being exuded the feeling of hopelessness .
She had walked around this lake with Chen for countless times . Once, he carried her on his back as and covered a half lap around the lake just because she complained childishly of not wanting to walk .
The cool autumn breeze mirrored the cold anguish in her heart as it burrowed into her blouse and made her shudder .
Her phone had been ringing continuously that it had now ran out of power . She sat alone by the lake in silence .
After this moment of peace, what should she do next?

People walked past her occasionally, so she did not notice a particular set of footsteps that were making their way toward her .
Suddenly, Lu Zhaoyang felt a warm jacket thrown around her shoulders . One quick look at the suit informed her of its owner .
Huo Chen sat down beside her and pulled the jacket tighter around her neck to shield her better against the cold . His every move was smooth and gentle .
Lu Zhaoyang's cheeks were red . She continued staring at the lake after Huo Chen arrived, and that made his heart ache .
He reached his hand over her fragile shoulders and pulled her into his arms . Once he felt her solid presence beside him, he felt immediate relief .
She was fine . He had been worried that she might do something stupid out of desperation .
"Yang Yang, talk to me, please?"

" . . . "
Lu Zhaoyang tried to break free of him, but his strong arms kept her firmly within his embrace .
After awhile, she heaved a quiet sigh and asked, "How did you find me?"
Huo Chen looked down at her and replied solemnly, "This place holds memories for you, and for me . "
Due to his family background, they never spent much time together . Hence, he remembered every place they had been together, including this lake .
Lu Zhaoyang pressed her lips together . Her heart ached .
Their memories were just that — memories . There was no going back .
"I'm fine . You should go . " She whispered softly like the gentle autumn breeze caressing the lake .

She needed some quiet time for herself .
Huo Chen was reluctant to let go of this rare opportunity to be alone with her .
This time, he must let Yang Yang know about his determination .
"I know Yunting, and I know you . I know you were forced into marriage . This is all my fault . I failed to protect you . Silly girl, if you wish for it, I will take you away from here . We'll leave the country and find a quiet place to settle down, alright?"
They need not care about this place .
Even without them, the world will continue to exist, and the Huo family will still have Huo Yunting .
He knew his nephew's temperament all too well .
That man was stubborn and relentless .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
