"I apologize for leaving the country on a whim that day. Mingze, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone abroad that day. But believe me, I really love you. In my heart, you are more important than myself. But Mingze, I also love my dream. Didn't you say that you liked the way I pursued my dream?" Yao Yutong's eyes were red with grievance again.
He used to be most afraid of seeing her aggrieved.
Huo Mingze looked at Yao Yutong with amusement: "I thought you would apologize for the despicable thing you did by putting something in my cup last night."
Yao Yutong's voice rose slightly: "Yes, I'm despicable, shameless, and I did something disgraceful. But Mingze, why did I do it? It's because I love you!"
She clutched her chest, looking as if she were in great pain: "Do you know how much my heart hurt when I saw you hugging another woman? Mingze, don't you really have any feelings? We've been in love for six years!"
She looked at Huo Mingze, tears streaming down her face.
She didn't believe that he wouldn't be moved by this.
In the past, as long as she cried, he would even go to pick the moon in the sky for her.
Huo Mingze looked indifferently at Yao Yutong: "My feelings for you ended on the day you left the country."
Did he have no feelings?
On the day she left the country, every step she took away was like stepping on his heart, crushing it to pieces.
He was human too, and he could feel pain.
Seeing Huo Mingze's aloof look, Yao Yutong got anxious. She quickly changed the topic. With teary eyes, she placed the insulated lunch box on the office desk. As she opened the lid, she said, "Baby, I made rock sugar and pear stew, your favorite in autumn and winter."
A sarcastic smile curled Huo Mingze's lips.
Baby?
Heh, did she hear some rumors now and know that he had won several big projects and his position was secure?
He called out in a calm voice: "Yao Yutong!"
Yao Yutong's hand, which was scooping the dessert, trembled slightly, and some of the soup spilled out.
She immediately grabbed a tissue to wipe it, feeling extremely flustered.
Huo Mingze ignored Yao Yutong's flustered look. After being in a relationship for six years, he knew exactly what was on her mind.
All the expressions and actions she was showing now were just an act of playing the weak to arouse his feelings.
She had thrown away his feelings for her with her own hands!
He said calmly: "I let you come up today because I have a few things I want to make clear to you face to face. Yao Yutong, regardless of what our relationship was like before, it ended completely from the moment you left the country. I made it very clear that day that if you left the country, we would break up and from then on, we would be just strangers.
Now, I'm already married, and I won't be ambiguous with any woman other than my wife. So, please don't deliberately show up in my life again.
If something similar to what happened last night happens again, I'll call the police!"
"Mingze, don't you really have any feelings for the past at all?" Yao Yutong looked at Huo Mingze in disbelief.
"Why should I have feelings for a stranger?" Huo Mingze looked at Yao Yutong coldly.
"Just a woman you've known for a few days, and you're so smitten? Is she a vixen?" Yao Yutong was furious.
"Miss Yao, please behave yourself." Huo Mingze's voice turned stern.
Without the halo of his love, she was really ordinary.
"Mingze, I beg you, don't treat me like this. I'm wrong. What do I have to do to get you back? Sob, sob, sob..." Yao Yutong started crying.
Huo Mingze was a bit irritated: "Didn't I make myself clear enough just now?"
"But I gave all my youth to you!"
"That was my youth too! Yao Yutong, some things are clear to both of us. Okay, I have to work now!" Huo Mingze's tone involuntarily became heavier.
After six years of relationship, she didn't love him but the halo of him being the heir of the Huo family.
When she noticed that his grandfather and eldest uncle were getting closer, she wanted to use the excuse of going abroad to keep him on the hook.
Not exposing this matter was the last bit of dignity he was giving her.
"Mingze, don't treat me like this. I know you're angry with me, angry about my going abroad, and angry about what I did to your cup last night. But I went abroad for my dream, to be worthy of you. I did what I did last night because I was desperate. It's because I love you..."
Out of the corner of her eye, Yao Yutong suddenly saw a figure. It was none other than Shen Modi.
Heh, this bitch was good. She was using the same trick as her, also bringing food to Huo Mingze.
"Ah..." Yao Yutong deliberately let out a cry and jumped up as if there were a cockroach.
Huo Mingze subconsciously looked at the floor.
Yao Yutong jumped straight into Huo Mingze's arms.
Huo Mingze frowned and reached out to pull Yao Yutong away, but Yao Yutong tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Shen Modi walked in and saw the two of them hugging each other.
She was brought up by the receptionist downstairs. As soon as she arrived, she saw such a shocking scene and suddenly didn't know how to react.
Xiaoguang saw his brother-in-law hugging a woman other than his sister and went crazy with anger. He let out angry shouts and grabbed a folder on the table and threw it at Yao Yutong.
"Ah, ah, ah..." He kept hitting Yao Yutong with it.
Yao Yutong covered her head and scurried around, shouting: "Ah, it hurts! Are you crazy? Ah, help! Ah, Mingze, help me!"
Shen Modi immediately stopped him: "Xiaoguang!"
Remembering that Xiaoguang couldn't hear, she immediately ran in front of Xiaoguang and gestured with her hands: "Xiaoguang, stop it. You can't do this."
Xiaoguang had tears in his eyes and made babbling sounds with his mouth, gesturing frantically with his hands: "But she's hugging my brother-in-law. She's a bad woman..."
Xiaoguang still wanted to rush up and hit Yao Yutong.
Shen Modi immediately hugged Xiaoguang and pushed him outside. She awkwardly said to Huo Mingze: "Sorry, I came at the wrong time."
After saying that, she pulled Xiaoguang and left. She felt a bit disappointed but not really in pain. Xiaoguang's appearance made her heart ache.
Huo Mingze took a big stride and grabbed her wrist.
Xiaoguang was so angry that he threw a folder at Huo Mingze's wrist.
He was already a fifteen-year-old boy. Because of his anger, the force was quite strong, hitting Huo Mingze so hard that he let out a muffled groan of pain and let go of his hand.
"How are you?" Shen Modi and Yao Yutong asked simultaneously.
Yao Yutong was overjoyed in her heart. She thought that Shen Modi's mute brother was simply a godsend!
Huo Mingze, no matter how good-tempered he was, was still a born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-his-mouth favored son of heaven.
Marrying Shen Modi, a grassroots girl, was just out of a fit of anger in the first place.
Now that her brother was like this, he would surely regret getting married!
By then, he could just give Shen Modi a sum of compensation money and annul the marriage.
If he really wanted to respect Shen Modi, going through the formal divorce procedures would also be fine.
Seeing Yao Yutong showing concern for Huo Mingze, Shen Modi retreated again. She said generously: "Xiaoguang wanted to come and see you. Now that he's seen you, we won't disturb you to work anymore."
Huo Mingze reached out and grabbed Shen Modi's hand.
"I'm hurt." He said.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. Xiaoguang was too impulsive." Shen Modi thought that Huo Mingze was blaming Xiaoguang and hurriedly explained.
"It hurts. Help me apply some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine." Huo Mingze looked at Shen Modi with gentle eyes and a gentle tone.
Seeing Xiaoguang glaring at him angrily, he said to Shen Modi: "Wife, explain to Xiaoguang that this is a misunderstanding. It was Miss Yao who saw you coming and deliberately threw herself into my arms."
Yao Yutong's inner thoughts: %&¥*
It was simply too much. This was completely trampling her face on the ground.
