Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Fleeing in Panic
Yun Xuefei felt like she couldn’t catch her breath… He held her so tightly, but the tighter his grip, the more it spoke of his fear…
Her heart suddenly ached sharply.
Perhaps, perhaps it hadn’t reached that point yet… After all, she hadn’t even figured out the truth of the matter.
“Fine. I won’t bring up divorce for now,” Yun Xuefei finally said hoarsely, “Let’s clear things up first, wait until you find that woman…”
Huo Yanzhao exhaled slowly.
It was as if a tightly stretched nerve had finally been relaxed.
He slowly let go of her and looked at her pale, thin cheeks, feeling a pang in his heart.
“Xuefei, I’m sorry,” he said, trembling as he touched her cheek, “I will definitely give you an explanation as soon as possible.”
Yun Xuefei tilted her head slightly, avoiding his fingers.
She picked up the agreement and turned back to the living room.
Yes, even though she knew he was a victim too, how could she not hold a grudge.
Blaming his negligence, blaming him for letting her find out about all of this…
Yun Xuefei recalled once again the woman she had seen that day. That pale, fragile, delicate appearance… Ha, all men would like that, wouldn’t they?
That woman was nothing like her at all, even if Huo Yanzhao had been drugged, he couldn’t possibly have mistaken that woman for her. After all, he was conscious enough to have slept with that woman.
Could there have been a moment when he indulged himself, deliberately deceiving himself…
Thinking this, Yun Xuefei cast her eyes down, managing only a bitter smile.
Yes, it was such speculations that made it impossible for her to accept. Otherwise, even if he had been taken advantage of, she could have offered all her gentleness and tolerance.
Huo Yanzhao stared at her retreating back, ultimately not following her.
He was silent for a long time before taking out his phone and dialing a number.
He Jingyao walked out of the elevator, talking on a Bluetooth headset.
“Looking for someone?” He raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Who? The more details, the better… With a name and a photo, it’s easy… Wait for my news.”
After ending the call, He Jingyao couldn’t help but lift an eyebrow.
The woman Huo Yanzhao asked him to find.
He had a feeling there was a story behind it, but since Huo Yanzhao hadn’t said anything, he wouldn’t ask. They would see when they found the woman.
As soon as He Jingyao received the name and photo, he immediately issued the instructions. Given the He Family’s extensive information network, as long as the woman was alive, they were certain to hear something within two days.
Putting away his phone, He Jingyao walked into his office with a smile, but to his surprise, the office was empty.
He Jingyao’s expression immediately darkened!
Fortunately, Adam came to his side in time and said in a low voice, “President, your wife has already gone back.”
“Gone back?” He Jingyao’s expression changed as he asked word by word.
Adam, sweating profusely, said, “The lady mentioned she had nothing to do here, so she’s waiting at home for you.”
He Jingyao massaged his temples, “I see.”
Watching Adam return to his seat, He Jingyao started to laugh, though it was unclear whether it was out of anger or helplessness.
This woman always knew how to whet his appetite.
That’s right, Su Zixi had indeed returned to Hades Manor.
At first, she was very excited and thrilled to be in the office, but as the excitement gradually faded and shyness swelled up, she… shamefully fled in disarray.
