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 . ”
