An Shaosi followed Huo Nanchen and they went out. After half an hour, they finally found an old apartment a few blocks away from Qiu Liu road.
They asked around and found out that it had just been bought.
Auntie Xu had just walked out of the apartment when a car suddenly drove in front of her, and a few bodyguards jumped out and surrounded her. When the car window rolled down, she saw a noble face stare at her impatiently.
"Have you seen the person in this photo?"
Auntie Xu hesitated for a moment before she shook her head.
When Huo Nanchen saw the hesitation in her eyes, he was certain that she knew about Gu Ruochu's whereabouts. "I will find her sooner or later. Are you sure you want to stop me? My wife is throwing a tantrum. I only want to find her."
Aunt Xu was just an outsider. It was not appropriate for her to interfere in a quarrel between a husband and his wife.
She had no choice but to give up Gu Ruochu. "Come with me, but Miss Gu is not in a good mood."
'She is not in a good mood?'
Aunt Xu's words made Huo Nanchen's heart feel gloomy and sad.
He got out of the car and followed her.
When Huo Nanchen entered the apartment, he was surprised when he saw Zhou Yunxi. He had never expected it to be Zhou Yunxi's home. Did Gu Ruochu already hate him to such an extent?
Would she rather stay at Zhou Yunxi's home than face him?
"Where is she?"
Aunt Xu did not expect Gu Ruochu to be absent. "She was still here before I left! Maybe she suspected that you would track her down and left."
After all, she had looked sad when she had arrived to see Zhou Yunxi.
Huo Nanchen pursed his lips tightly and turned around to leave. The bodyguards entered the apartment and searched the room for any clues that could lead them to Gu Ruochu.
In the church:
The service was lively as the choir sang their hymns, giving a sense of calm to many in the congregation.
After about ten minutes, the service was over, and majority of the congregation headed for the exit.
"Little girl, is there something on your mind?"
The priest, who was almost 60 years old, stood in front of Gu Ruochu. "Perhaps you can tell me. Even if you can't find a way to solve the problem, you can at least pour out your heart to someone willing to listen to you."
Gu Ruochu did not know where to begin. After all, it was not possible to explain her complicated relationship with Huo Nanchen in just a few words.
"If you love someone, but they are trapped by their responsibilities, should you be together with them?"
The priest shook his head and smiled. "You should let him understand what he wants the most."
What did Huo Nanchen want the most?
Gu Ruochu was still trying to figure out the meaning behind the priest's words when he smiled faintly and pointed behind her.
She was stunned when she turned around and saw Huo Nanchen standing behind her. He quickly put his arm around her shoulder and pressed her against his body.
Gu Ruochu was in a state of shock and could not react on time.
Her first instinct was to push him away, but he did not budge. The priest only smiled at the side and had no intention of walking away.
"Have you eaten? Don't you know that you haven't completely recovered from your cold? Why are you wearing such skimpy clothes? Do you want to catch another cold?" Huo Nanchen took off his coat and wrapped it around her shoulder. His tone was filled with heartache as the warmth of his breath enveloped her entire being.
Gu Ruochu had thought that he would scold her when he found her. She never expected him to be so gentle.
"Let go of me!"
When she saw that she was resisting, Huo Nanchen was a little annoyed.
He frowned and ignored her, but his heart was completely at ease. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace as they walked out.
Before they left, Huo Nanchen thanked the priest, who only smiled faintly in response.
Gu Ruochu was extremely angry. She did not know why he was so shameless.
