Gu Ruochu did not say another word and continued to eat. She had no idea what Huo Nanchen was thinking. Hadn't Ning Tangxi already returned with the child?
She knew that he loved that child as much as his life. Gu Ruochu was resigned to the fact that their relationship would never work.
His attachment to the child was strong. He was even willing to put down his life for Cheng Xi.
Gu Ruochu felt depressed when she thought about it.
Her weight in his heart would never exceed that of Cheng Xi.
"I'm done eating. Enjoy your meal." Gu Ruochu stood up, waved, and went upstairs.
Huo Nanchen put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed her.
Old Lady Huo saw this and laughed after a while. "How come I didn't know that the old man had such good taste?"
Of course, Mrs. Huo knew that Old Lady Huo was talking about Nanchen and Ruochu. Their marriage had been a coincidence. The old man had just finished talking about his grandson's marriage when he passed away.
At that time, the Huo family was devastated.
They eventually decided to follow their grandfather's last wish.
"This is probably that kid's good fortune. I really thought that he would die alone."
With his personality, Mrs. Huo did not expect him to be close to any girl.
Up until now, the only girl that had succeeded in making him pay constant attention to her was Gu Ruochu.
"Why did you follow me?"
Gu Ruochu turned around and saw him follow her into the bedroom. The wind blew noisily through the curtains.
He slowly walked towards her. There was no expression on his elegant face but his voice was deep and calm.
The blowing wind messed up his hair slightly as he moved.
"Sometimes, I feel that you don't like me very much. Otherwise, why would you be unhappy?"
Gu Ruochu's entire body shook. She felt a tingling sensation in her ears.
She reached out and gently hugged him. Her chin rested on his shoulder.
Behind his back, she bit her lips gently. Gu Ruochu was in so much pain that she could not make a single sound. She was emotional, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She thought about their relationship and almost broke down in tears.
'Of course, I don't like you. I love you. I still love you. I don't know how long I will love you. It might be forever.
'You have some difficult choices to make, but you are the only choice I have. You think that you are right, but I am different. I just want to be the most important person to you. There should be no one else.
'My worldview is different. I will only get hurt if I stay with you.'
Gu Ruochu had already thought of a plan to leave Nan Cheng. She would get rid of her phone and find a device without a GPS tracker on it. She wanted to completely lose all her contacts in Nan Cheng after she left.
When the time came, there would be no turning back.
"..."
Ning Tangxi had rested for a few days after her return. Even though she missed Country M, she was glad to finally be home with her parents and her old friends.
Ning Tangxi originally thought that she would not get along with her godsister. However, when she saw that Gu Yanwei was a sensible person, she tolerated her staying in the Ning family. It was just like having a pet.
Ning Tangxi was confident that she was the only daughter of the Ning family. She was the sole heir to all their wealth.
However, she felt that the atmosphere at home was a little strange. Her father seemed to be a lot colder towards her mother.
Ning Tangxi was puzzled. In the past, her father been good towards her mother. Any time they argued, her father would lower his voice and coax her mother.
That night, Zhang Yuan did not sleep at all. In the morning, she took a shower and changed her clothes. She left the bedroom with a concerned expression on her face.
"Mom, did dad come back last night?"
