Chapter 828: 828
Lu Zhaoyang’s words landed like a bomb inside his head and shook him wide awake .
His mind cleared instantly . He put a palm on his forehead and felt like he was on the verge of an important discovery, but did not know how to take the final step .
He wanted to tell Lu Zhaoyang that she was wrong, but could not find the words to refute her .
Lu Zhaoyang patted on the back of his hand . “When you find the answer, you will know what to do . ”
“Alright…”
Huo Chen felt very confused . His emotions were a messy ball of yarn that he could not disentangle .
Lu Zhaoyang watched him leave in a dispirited mood . She felt even more confident of her theory now given his response to her words .
Had she been wrong, Huo Chen would not have responded like that .
“Tsk . ”
Huo Yunting cocked his head at her . “Since when are you a relationship expert?”
Lu Zhaoyang puffed up her chest and said, “I am simply being helpful . ”
“Boring . ”
Huo Yunting took a sip of wine from his glass and looked regretful .
“I was thinking of enjoying Huo Chen’s obtuseness a little longer . You should have spoken to him a few years after Wen He has left, that would have been fun . ”
Lu Zhaoyang narrowed her eyes . “Huo Yunting, why are you filled with such rotten ideas?”
Huo Yunting spread his arms in feigned surprise . “I didn’t do anything . ”
Lu Zhaoyang glared at him and sat down heavily beside him .
“In any case, I believe you have lost the bet between us . ”
“What bet?” He asked with mock puzzlement .

“Really?” Lu Zhaoyang chuckled dryly and crossed her arms . “You said last time that Chen only feels guilty toward Wen He and nothing else, but I disagreed . The facts show that I am right . You should accept your defeat with grace . ”
“Firstly, I did not formally make a bet with you . ”
Huo Yunting toyed with his wine glass and retorted unhurriedly . “Secondly, how do you know you have won? Huo Chen never said he loves Wen He, it was all your own guessing . That proves nothing . ”
Lu Zhaoyang did not seem impressed, and that gave him a cunning idea . “How about we make a proper bet now?”
“On what?”
“Whether Huo Chen can make Wen He stay . ”
“Okay!” Lu Zhaoyang agreed readily . “Get ready to lose . ”
“I wouldn’t be so sure . ” Huo Yunting’s smile deepened . “After all, Wen He is leaving tomorrow . ”
Lu Zhaoyang’s eyes widened in realization and she nearly screamed in frustration .

She was confident that Huo Chen loved Wen He, but the man in question might not be able to realize it so soon .
Even with her guidance, he may not be able to grasp his own feelings over a single night .
By the time he was ready, Wen He might already be worlds away from him .
“Huo Yunting, you cheat!” She reached her hands out to his neck . “I will strangle you, you wife-cheating scoundrel!”
Huo Yunting pulled her into his arms and grinned, pleased with himself .
“Don’t worry, the wager is not too punishing . I like to keep my woman happy . ”
“What is the wager?”
Huo Yunting whispered in her ear so that only she could hear it .
“What do you think!”

“What?!”
Lu Zhaoyang blushed deeply and batted him with a pillow .
“You lecherous swine, I’m still pregnant you know?!”
On the other side of the city, things were not so cheery . Wen He was back in her apartment and finished with packing her belongings .
