Chapter 172: 172
Huo Yunting did not catch the book that flung at him . The paperback landed with a loud crash on the floor, but neither of them paid it any attention .
Her nose was red, and her eyes were bloodshot . She had been crying .
Huo Yunting smiled and spoke more softly, "It's good to learn to entertain yourself . Just do that when I'm not around . "
Don't go to Huo Chen again .
Lu Zhaoyang put on her shoes and wanted to leave, but his hand was still on her waist . In the end, she settled for picking up the book and placing on his lap . She said calmly, "Here's your book . Remove your hand, I'm going to get something to eat . "
Huo Yunting sensed that she wanted to leave, so he scooped her up to carry her . "If you're hungry, let's eat together . "
Lu Zhaoyang could not argue back, so she forced herself to endure the discomfort that came from being physically intimate with him .
The book fell to the floor again . His long legs stepped over the book as they left the master bedroom .
Dinner was unusually peaceful . Huo Yunting could sense that she was extremely worn out, so he kept quiet to avoid upsetting her any further .
After dinner, they walked, one in front of other, to their bedroom .
Lu Zhaoyang was not sure how to face the man . His passion for a certain shared activity of theirs made her shiver inside .
"Remember to take your pills . "
Huo Yunting stopped under the crystal chandelier and noticed her hesitation . He spoke up then, since he was not in the mood as well .
His reminder made the pain in her arm surface once more . She nodded .
"Get yourself a shower and go to bed . Think long and hard about who your husband is . "

She had embraced Huo Chen, and willingly so . That made Huo Yunting extremely uncomfortable!
Lu Zhaoyang bit on her lips and nodded again .
The warm yellow lighting shone on her willowy figure . She heaved a long sigh .
This absurd relationship was about to end .
Soon, she would not have to deal with Huo Yunting's threats anymore .
She heard the footsteps behind her walk away, and then the sound of the door closed shut .
He's gone?

It was unbelievable, but after making sure that he had left, Lu Zhaoyang felt relieved .
She walked out of the shower with a towel around her waist . A dark bruise on her arm was clearly visible . She looked at the medicine and warm water on her bedside cabinet . Huo Yunting had prepared them .
She paused in a daze for a moment, and then took the medicine .
Now, she must get a good night's sleep . She had not been getting that for the past few days, and it was wearing her out .
The promise she made to Huo Chen to leave this place with him was so vivid that that she dreamed of their next destination .
There was a tiny house in a small town in the suburbs . She opened the windows from inside, and saw a large windmill turning slowly outside .
Her dream was long and comforting, and she slept deeply that night .

When she woke up foggily the next morning, the room was in pitch-black darkness .
The curtains were drawn . She frowned slightly, for she did not remember drawing the curtains last night .
Lu Zhaoyang got up from bed and pulled the curtains back . The bright morning sun greeted, and she had to raise her arm to shield her eyes .
It was too bright .
She had overslept .
The office…
Lu Zhaoyang cursed quietly . She pulled back all the curtains in the room until it was completely flooded with light inside .
Slowly, she washed herself and went downstairs, still in her casual clothing .
