She shut the car door and urged him to drive . “Let’s go!”
Gu Jinzhi watched the military car sped away into the distance and continued smiling with an unreadable expression .
After a while, he hopped into his own car and left the place .
Back in the military car, awkwardness filled the space between Wen He and Huo Chen .
The latter focused on driving and did not spare a glance to his passenger .
Wen He carefully sneaked a look at him and saw his cold expression . Whatever courage she worked up to speak vanished instantly .
She was about to look away when Huo Chen spoke up crisply .
“Yes?”
“Err . ”
Wen He was caught off guard and could not respond immediately .
She pursed her lips and finally spoke again with reluctance .
“Thank you . ”
Their relationship had not changed . Huo Chen remained distant to her in an almost hostile way .
Nevertheless, when the time came, he would give her a helping hand .
Huo Chen’s eyes widened slightly . He replied plainly, “No worries, I was only stating a fact . ”
Wen He digested his sentence slowly .
Wasn’t their marriage already dead although not officially dissolved?
Announcing their marriage to such a large audience earlier would create waves round them .
Besides, if she asked for a divorce with Huo Chen soon after the incident, it may not go smoothly .
Wen He frowned at the quandary that was presented to her, but she soon found her peace . After all, their marriage was not affecting her current lifestyle .
Huo Chen did not seem to be in a rush to finalize things either . Perhaps they would wait a little longer .
When the news got old and people moved on to the latest newsflash, they would proceed quietly with their divorce .
“Huo Chen . ”
“Yes?”
Wen He wanted to explain her reasoning but found that he did not seem to be in a pleasant mood . Moreover, she recalled that the last few times they tried to speak to each other ended up into arguments .
“Nothing . ” She decided to stop repeating history .
Let things progress naturally .
She did not want their relationship to deteriorate any further .
Huo Chen did not press her and continued to drive silently .
The atmosphere in the car stagnated .
He quietly took a quick side glance at the woman beside him, who seemed to be in a mood . His gaze turned softer .
Compared to the last few times they shouted at each other, he enjoyed this rare moment of silence between them .
After some time, he broke the silence…
“You should get a new job . ”
Huo Chen offered abruptly .
Wen He frowned deeply and looked offended . She said, “Why? I love my current job . It pays well and has flexible hours . Besides, I can dress myself up nice and pretty whenever I want . More importantly, Gu Jinzhi is my boss . Based on my history with him, he will definitely protect me . ”
What was her relationship with Gu Jinzhi?
Huo Chen was bothered by the question but kept it to himself . His gentle gaze turned harder .
“If he really cares for you, he will not let you work as a dancer at the Golden City . ”
“What’s wrong with being a dancer?”
Wen He was only slightly annoyed by his question at first, but she was beginning to understand his concern . She chuckled snidely and said, “I see that you and Lin Kang are the same . You think that a dancer is a lowly occupation, right? Are you asking me to get a new job because you think I am dragging you down? As your wife on paper, do you think I am embarrassing you? Am I smearing your sparkling reputation?”
The spot between Huo Chen’s eyebrows creased deeply . He turned to look at her .
“What nonsense you are talking about?”
