Gu Ruochu put the dress down after she finished looking at it. Huo Nanchen's phone suddenly rang. He looked at his phone and lifted his eyes as he addressed Gu Ruochu. "I need to go out for a while."
In the past, if he wanted to leave, he would do so quietly. He would never tell Gu Ruochu anything. Today was the first time he had informed her that he was heading out.
However, Gu Ruochu was not in the mood to care about such things. Instead, she had something else on her mind. She only nodded and seemed to be absent-minded.
Huo Nanchen noticed that she did not trouble herself to ask him where he was going so late into the night. A fire suddenly rose in his heart, but he had no choice but to suppress it.
This woman was really something!
He was not used to being ignored and it felt really unpleasant.
"Gu Ruochu!"
"Hmm?" Gu Ruochu's face was filled with confusion.
He furrowed his brows and left the house immediately.
What was wrong with him? After spending some time together, Gu Ruochu had gotten used to his temper.
He was arrogant and full of fury.
Mrs. Huo went downstairs to drink some water when she saw that her son was about to leave the house. She was puzzled.
"It's so late. Where are you going?"
"I'll be back in a while." Huo Nanchen's reply was indifferent and he went out.
Mrs. Huo was speechless.
Had the couple quarrel again? They had been so sweet with each other during the dinner but after spending some time alone together, they had fallen out again.
Mrs. Huo thought about the couple's problems for a little while before she went back upstairs.
As soon as Huo Nanchen left the house, he felt that the stuffiness in his chest had not gone away. Instead, it had become more agitated. He dialed his phone and spoke in a harsh tone. "Lu Fang, you'd better have something really urgent, or I'll kill you!"
Lu Fang's teasing voice came from the other side. "What's wrong? Did the madam make you angry again?"
He calmed down. "No."
"Come on, I know you. Other than the Young Madam at home who else can make you so agitated? What? Are you in love with her?"
"Why are you so talkative today?"
"Yo, is Huo angry?"
After he was done teasing him, Lu Fang threw out an address. "If you're in a bad mood, you should come out to play and drink. Don't hold it in. By the way, I've made progress on your matter."
"I'm coming over now." Huo Nanchen's eyes darkened when he heard that there had been progress on his matter.
Back at the Huo residence, Gu Ruochu took out her laptop.
She logged into Qq and searched for Rong Xiao. "Doggie, are you there?"
[Jinxiao Youjiu]: Yes, why aren't you asleep?
[Unique me VII]: I can't sleep. By the way, do you have any clues about the garden I drew last time?
Ever since she started having the strange visions in her sleep, Gu Ruochu had tried to draw the scenes in her dreams and sent them to Rong Xiao.
Those dreams were too real. Perhaps they had really happened before.
Therefore, she wanted to find that garden. Maybe she could find out something about the old Gu Ruochu.
[Tonight you Jiu]: Yichen and I looked for it. We couldn't find the garden that you described, even the huge tree you mentioned. Why are you so conflicted about this dream? Isn't it just a strange dream?
Gu Ruochu fell into deep thought when she read this.
She looked out the window. The night was so deep. After spending half a minute in a daze, Gu Ruochu typed a line of words. "Rong Xiao, I realized that I don't know who I am."
'WTF?'
Rong Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of water onto the screen. "Don't tell me that Master Qi has forgotten who I am?"
Rong Xiao had misunderstood Gu Ruochu's meaning. He thought about it and chose to comfort her. "It's good enough that you're still alive. Don't think about the past."
Gu Ruochu stared at this sentence for a long time before she typed, "Mmm."
