He was just as drenched in lakewater and mud as Wen He, but still he maintained an air of grace and elegance about him .
Wen He shot him a look and frowned in disgust . “Your cool act cost you a car accident, haven’t you learned?”
Gu Jinzhi was about to retort when Wen He noticed some movement from afar .
“They’re here . ”
A few military vehicles were speeding toward them . Wen He quickly stood up but was struck by a sudden dizziness and pain in her ankle . She stumbled and nearly fell face-down on the ground .
Luckily, Gu Jinzhi caught caught her by the waist just in time .
She shook her head to shake away the dizziness and said, “Thanks . ”
Then, she prepared to push the man away .
Creak… .
A sharp sound caught her by surprise .
The military vehicles had reached them . The first to step out of the cars was a tall and skinny man in military boots .
He looked slender and imperious under the glaring sun . His beret shielded his eyes from her, but Wen He recognized the man immediately .
“… Huo Chen?”
She was so stunned that she forgot all about Gu Jinzhi’s intimate arm around her waist and simply stared at the familiar face .
Huo Chen looked up and quickly noticed her in Gu Jinzhi’s arms .
His expression stayed neutral, but behind him, Song Shou looked appalled .
“Ma’am, you…”
Wen He finally came to herself and tried to push Gu Jinzhi away . She took a step back but lost her balance due her ankle and fell to the ground once more .
“Ma’am!”
Song Shou’s immediate reaction was to go to her and help her up .
“Song Shou . ”
Huo Chen warned his subordinate with a flat voice . He was here to get a divorce, not celebrate a reunion .
His steady gaze ignored Wen He and scanned the site of the recent blast, which told him enough of what had happened earlier .
Then, he looked back toward the woman again, whom Gu Jinzhi had helped to get up to her feet .
“I have just arrived in the city today . The commander sent me here to take care of things and also to head to the administration office with you . ”
Wen He’s face dimmed with an almost imperceptible expression of pain, but she merely lowered her head and did not reply .
“Officer Huo . ”
Gu Jinzhi greeted with a mildly chilling smile .
“Wen He is injured, surely you are that much not in a rush to sever ties with her as to insist on doing it today?”
“I am very busy . ”
Huo Chen replied plainly and looked Gu Jinzhi in the eyes, maintaining an air of absolute professionalism .
“I have new orders every day and cannot waste my time just because of an accident . Gu Jinzhi, if you meddle with my affairs again, I will not mind showing you the way out . Do not think that I will not find anything behind Lin Kang’s death . ”
Gu Jinzhi glared dangerously . He was about to reply when Wen He spoke up .
“Alright, I’ll come with you now . ”
Gu Jinzhi smiled gently and held her even closer to him . He said warmly, “Only you will care for me, dearest . ”
Wen He glared at him, then looked to Huo Chen anxiously .
The man never changed his expression, seemingly untouched by her presence .
Wen He felt a jolt of pain deep inside her heart, but she kept her feelings firmly off her face .
She moved Gu Jinzhi’s hands away and started walking slowly .
The pain in her ankle from every step was nothing compared to the pain in her heart .
