Huo Nanchen fell silent. He did not immediately reply when he looked at her. His furrowed brows appeared rather cold.
His eyes were filled with indescribable emotions, and there was a hint of helplessness in them.
Perhaps, he felt that Gu Ruochu was being willful.
This silence caused a sense of disappointment to surface in Gu Ruochu's heart. It was more like desolation, and her heart grew colder.
"Ruochu, am I not good enough for you?" Huo Nanchen did not understand. Why had she asked him that question? The frustration in his heart began to surface.
"No, you are good to me." It was just that he did not love her, or rather, he did not love her enough.
Gu Ruochu shook her head and suddenly laughed softly.
She had not anticipated such a situation. Gu Ruochu did not know when it began, but she had gradually started to have higher expectations for this marriage and relationship.
Fortunately, even though she was tempted, she was yet to fully commit herself.
She still remembered her mother's words from her previous life: 'Even if you lose your virginity, do not lose your heart.'
Gu Ruochu straightened her body and deliberately stayed away from him as she walked towards the parked car.
Huo Nanchen knew that she was feeling uncomfortable. He was deep in thought when he lifted his head and saw another man standing in front of him.
Gu Ruochu, who was about to get into the car, froze when she saw this man.
"Ruochu." Wang Xin did not notice Huo Nanchen standing in the dark. His eyes were fixed on Gu Ruochu.
"Wang Xin?"
Ever since this "ex-boyfriend" had appeared in her life, Gu Ruochu had secretly looked up a lot of information about Wang Xin. She could recognize him at a glance.
Wang Xin nodded and sighed. "Long time no see. I'm getting married tomorrow and I suddenly thought of coming over to say a few words to you."
One of his subordinates had informed him that Gu Ruochu had come to the Crimson Hotel. He immediately got into his car and drove over. Perhaps, it was to resolve the regret of not ending up with her in the end.
Even though Gu Ruochu had changed, he still missed the love they had shared.
"There isn't much to talk about between you and me." Gu Ruochu could not understand why he would come to look for his "ex-girlfriend" the night before his wedding.
However, Wang Xin did not bother her much. Gu Ruochu would make it clear that it was over.
"No matter what kind of past we have, it's already over."
Wang Xin did not expect her to say those words without any emotion. He had always thought that Gu Ruochu still had feelings for him.
Gu Ruochu had just finished speaking when she felt a large shadow pressing down on her. Huo Nanchen's aura turned cold and his expression was a little sinister.
He knew that Wang Xin was his wife's ex-boyfriend.
Before him, Gu Ruochu had once shared some intimate moments with this man. His wife was even willing to be patient and make conversation with this man.
This realization made him feel as if something was scratching at his heart. It was very uncomfortable.
Wang Xin sighed, "I know. I'm getting married tomorrow. I still hope that you can come."
At the very least, she would be magnanimous and give him her blessings.
"I'll come." Gu Ruochu nodded. She no longer had the desire to continue talking to him. "Have a great wedding."
"Thank you." Wang Xin's voice was hoarse. "It's so late, let me send you home."
Crimson was a high-class clubhouse. Even though Wang Xin had his suspicions as to whether or not she had hooked up with those rich and powerful men, he was willing to put all those rumors aside. He treated her how one would treat the first love of his life.
"There's no need, thank you."
Gu Ruochu politely declined his offer.
Huo Nanchen suddenly had a feeling that he was just a spectator to the two of them.
He was watching his wife and another stranger play out their love and hate relationship. That was something he could not interfere with.
