"Let go, it hurts." Gu Ruochu did not know why she had gone upstairs so quickly. However, she could not pretend to be calm. She could not continue to show her love for him in front of everyone.
She turned around and crashed into his embrace.
He continued to hold her hand and took a few steps forward, pressing her against the door.
Huo Nanchen was very strong. He pressed her against the door and did not say a word. He only took out a lighter from his pocket. The pitch-black room was depressing. He appeared to be a little distracted.
His dangerous aura became even stronger.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Ruochu did not speak or look at him. She closed her eyes to calm herself down.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? Huo Nanchen, how long are you going to keep lying to me? Who did you go to see in Country M? Will you dare to tell me?" She stared into his eyes as she asked him. She held the doorknob and secretly unlocked it. She then struggled to push him away. "Huo Nanchen, will you dare to tell me?"
"How do you know?"
He did not deny it. It made her feel a sharp pain in her heart, but she did not show it.
"You don't have to worry about how I know. I'm asking you now, will you tell me everything about the mother and son in Country M?"
Huo Nanchen was suddenly at a loss for words. A layer of darkness gradually appeared in his eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment. After a long while, he was still unable to speak. His blood seemed to have frozen. He was numb and cold.
In the silence, Gu Ruochu reached her conclusion.
"You see, you can't explain it at all." Gu Ruochu shook her head. She did not expect him to choose between her and the mother and son. She was almost certain of the answer.
Gu Ruochu opened the door and walked out. Her heart was beating very fast. It was as if she would sink into his gaze if she were to turn around and look at him again.
She had thought that he would not follow her. However, when her hand touched the bedroom door handle, she felt Huo Nanchen approaching her. "I will explain the situation clearly. Niang Tangxi and her child are not an obstacle between us at all!"
Huo Nanchen was neither anxious nor impatient. He would not let go until he had told her everything.
He embraced her. The feeling had become so familiar that it seemed to be carved into his bones.
However, he understood her position. A few days ago, she had begged him not to go to Country M, but he had still left without hesitation.
"Tell me? ?What do you want me to tell me?" Gu Ruochu's heart was filled with bitterness. "After I begged you not to leave, but you still went to Country M, I should have known my position in your heart. There's nothing much to say, that's about all there is between us."
Her emotions, which she had suppressed for a long time, finally exploded to the surface. A tear fell silently down her cheek. "Huo Nanchen, has anyone ever told you that, 'if you don't love someone, don't give them any hope?' You have your persistence. I have my bottom line.
"If you think that I'm not obedient enough, get a divorce."
"Gu Ruochu!"
How could Huo Nanchen possibly let go? He reached out and tugged at her elbow, making her look straight at him. "I'm not getting a divorce. Wait until I'm dead before you say that to me. Don't you know your place in my heart?"
"Is that so? With my status as Mrs. Huo, shouldn't I make room for that mother and son?" She asked sarcastically. "I really can't think of any reason to be with you."
They had never said that they loved each other, but they had an emotional entanglement in an absurd marriage.
Would this be considered a breakup if they had never fallen in love?
"Niang Tangxi and Cheng Xi are not an excuse for you to get a divorce." Huo Nachen's strong breath almost drowned her.
