She opened the door and was greeted by Huo Chen's welcoming figure.
He looked worried.
Lu Zhaoyang knew how weary she looked after a night without sleep.
"You…"
"Chen, let's go back."
Lu Zhaoyang interrupted him. She tried to force a smile on her face but failed.
Huo Chen had expected from last night that something had happened, so he was not taken entirely by surprise.
Lu Zhaoyang's dry eyes suddenly flooded with tears again.
"They found out about us. I have no idea how to continue living here. I don't want to force my mother into a dead end because of me. She will be treated badly in the Huo family. If she did something foolish, I will never be able to lead a peaceful life."
Her life… was never meant to be peaceful anyway.
Her marriage to the devil had sealed her fate as a debtor for the rest of her life.
Who knew what would happen if she went back, but she was certain that her life will not be any better.
