When Huo Nanchen's tall and straight figure appeared and slowly walked towards her, Gu Yanwei was completely shocked. He looked noble and elegant, like a god that could not be violated.
It was as if he had lived through the years.
She did not know when it began, but he had left a deep impression in her heart that was hard to erase.
He had just revealed that he was the one who had bought the news online to slander her. How was this possible? It was clear that Huo Nanchen was covering up for Gu Ruochu...
But they did not love each other, so why did he continue to protect Gu Ruochu?
"Nanchen, there's no need for you to defend Ruochu. I won't blame her." Gu Yanwei's eyes were slightly red as tears welled up in her eyes. "I've never wanted to steal anything from her. Even if I love you, it's only my own business."
Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows and looked at her unmoved. "I won't say it again. I was the one who posted the news online. If there's a problem, come find me."
Gu Yanwei choked and suddenly did not know what to say. She could use a thousand words to cover up for herself in front of others, but she could not find the words in front of Huo Nanchen.
She suddenly felt a sense of hatred towards Gu Ruochu over Huo Nanchen's heart. It seemed he already loved her. He did not care about Gu Yanwei at all...
Mrs. Huo was already feeling extremely annoyed. However, when she saw the delicate and pitiful Gu Yanwei, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Yanwei... you silly child, how could you be so silly?" Zhou Yunxi did not expect things to turn out this way. Huo Nanchen had clearly defended Gu Ruochu.
No matter how hysterical she was, it was impossible for her to seek justice for her eldest daughter. She would only make Mrs. Huo hate Yanwei even more.
On this point, she decided to take a rational approach.
Zhou Yunxi suddenly felt anger towards Huo Nanchen. She felt that he was a true scumbag. She also hated Gu Ruochu for hurting Yanwei so viciously.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Huo Nanchen looked at Mrs. Huo and seemed to remember something. "By the way, mother, I'll be going on a business trip soon."
"A business trip? Why so urgent?"
Mrs. Huo was surprised when she heard that her son was going on a business trip.
In the past, Nanchen would often go on many business trips, but now he had a chance to improve his relationship with his wife. They were kissing like glue at the bedroom door. Why was he in such a hurry to go on a business trip so soon?
Huo Nanchen just nodded and turned to leave.
Mrs. Huo wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She looked at his cold face and felt a little helpless. She thought something must have happened between her son and Ruochu when they were in the bedroom.
"Mrs..."
"Don't be in such a hurry, love is not something that can be rushed." Nanny Zhang was initially a little worried, but when she saw the calm expression on Mrs. Huo's face, she felt a sense of confidence.
"Young Madam." A servant respectfully greeted Gu Ruochu when she saw her from afar.
Huo Nanchen raised his eyes and looked at her with a deep and serene gaze. His gaze gradually darkened. Gu Ruochu met his gaze and calmly walked over.
"Gu Ruochu!"
Huo Nanchen watched her walk past him, she ignored him as he looked at her expressionlessly.
"What's wrong?"
He saw her raise her eyes and reached out to grab her arm. Gu Ruochu subconsciously leaned towards him and her entire body crashed into his firm chest.
"Why didn't you react when I called you just now?"
"I didn't hear you." Gu Ruochu was still immersed in her own world. She raised her head and looked at Huo Nanchen's sullen but handsome face. She was puzzled.
Lately, his anger had felt a little strange.
