No one could understand Ning Tangxi's babbling, and Huo Nanchen quickly rushed to her side.
Ning Tangxi's blood-curdling screams gave everyone goosebumps.
Huo Nanchen's eyes were filled with compassion when he saw Ning Tangxi's condition. He appeared to feel her pain and suffering. It was as if he had fallen into darkness and was stifling himself.
Gu Ruochu saw the fear and distress in Huo Nanchen's eyes. He suddenly knelt beside Ning Tangxi. "I'm not leaving."
'I'm not leaving.' His words sounded romantic in Gu Ruochu's ears.
But they were not meant for her.
Gu Ruochu's breath was very light and for a moment, she felt cold. A lump formed in her throat. Wasn't this proof that he would never give her his undivided attention?
"Young Madam, what should we do?"
Gu Ruochu's thoughts were interrupted. She took her cell phone from the sofa and quickly dialed it. "Don't worry. I'll call Lu Fang."
Suddenly, the doorbell rang frantically. Nanny Zhang went to answer the door in fear. She did not know who it was.
She wedged the door open and asked, "Who are you..."
Before Nanny Zhang could finish her sentence, a man violently pushed her aside and entered the house.
When he saw Ning Tangxi lying on the floor, Yang Ziyu clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds. He decided to help Ning Tangxi up first.
"You must be Gu Ruochu, right?"
Gu Ruochu was not in the mood to talk to the hostile stranger. She calmly said, "Take Ning Tangxi away."
"Huo Nanchen, are you all right?" Gu Ruochu patted his face. It was as if a distant voice was echoing his name. "Huo Nanchen."
Gradually, Huo Nanchen's eyes regained their light.
He looked at Gu Ruochu, and it was as if all his pain was slowly disappearing.
Yang Ziyu supported Ning Tangxi and was about to leave with her. However, Ning Tangxi regained her senses and when she saw him, she suddenly swatted him away in fear. "Get lost! I don't want to go with you."
Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows and impatiently grabbed Ning Tangxi's elbow when he saw that she was waving her hands again. "Since she doesn't want to go with you, don't provoke her. You know that she's a lunatic."
Yang Ziyu deliberately looked at Gu Ruochu and then sneered at Huo Nanchen, "Don't you find it embarrassing that you're holding another woman's hand in front of your wife?"
Huo Nanchen let go of Ning Tangxi and met Gu Ruochu's gaze. His eyes had an innocent look in them.
"Ruochu."
Gu Ruochu's eyes did not waver. Her love for him was deeply engraved in her heart, and she had never loved anyone else so patiently and so persistently.
"Nanchen..." Ning Tangxi seemed to have regained her senses.
Yang Ziyu grabbed her arm and said calmly, "Tangxi, even if you don't want to go to my house, you shouldn't stay here. Huo Nanchen is already married. You will only get embarrassed. Or are you willing to let people accuse Cheng Xi of being the son of a mistress?"
Besides, she could only be a mistress if Huo Nanchen loved her.
Gu Ruochu looked at the confrontation between the two men and suddenly felt that it was boring and uninteresting. In this scene, she was just a passerby and did not even have a supporting role.
Lu Fang arrived at the Huo residence and rushed into the house with a medical kit in his hands. He attended to Ning Tangxi and gave her a sedative. He then glanced at Huo Nanchen as he sat on the sofa.
"Do you want a shot?"
"No. I'm much better now."
Lu Fang observed Huo Nanchen's expression and was surprised. Could it be that Gu Ruochu was his only medicine?
"..."
