Chapter 746: Chapter 746: You Are Still Single, Coincidentally, So Am I
Yun Xuefei paused briefly, looking at the man’s somewhat pale face and the relaxation and affection evident between his brows, her heart involuntarily softened.
“Then finish your drink before you leave,” her voice tinged with a hint of compromise.
A flicker of amusement crossed Huo Yanzhao’s eyes, he hummed softly and took a spoonful to his mouth. He drank slowly, as if savoring a rare delicacy.
“Huo Yanzhao, we have been apart for so long, each of us starting our own new lives,” Yun Xuefei carefully chose her words, “I don’t think it’s necessary for us to get back together.”
“New lives?” Huo Yanzhao set down his bowl and looked up, “You are currently single. And you have been single for the past four years.”
A flicker of discomfort passed through Yun Xuefei’s eyes: “It’s for Tang Yuan…”
“Initially, Yan Lingfeng couldn’t let go, pursued you for a long time, even willing to accept Tang Yuan as his own child, but eventually, he gave up,” Huo Yanzhao spoke calmly, “I know, he got married last year.”
“…Because I hated his tactics,” Yun Xuefei pursed her lips, “His actions made it impossible for me to trust him.”
“Since then, you’ve encountered many suitors at work, some of whom were willing to accept Tang Yuan and even truly liked her,” Huo Yanzhao continued, “But you still never accepted any.”
“That doesn’t mean I did it for you,” Yun Xuefei quickly said.
“Hmm, I know,” Huo Yanzhao smiled faintly, “But you are still single, and coincidentally, so am I.”
Yun Xuefei’s hands tightened slightly, her tone laced with a touch of scorn, “Really? Your mother hasn’t pressured you to remarry a gentle and obedient lady from a good family?”
“She has mentioned it, but I didn’t take it seriously,” Huo Yanzhao fixed his gaze on her, his eyes so deep that they made her slightly anxious, “Because in my heart, there has only been one wife from the beginning to the end, and that’s you. I have loved you since I was eighteen, and have never liked any other woman since.”
His voice was calm, but this calmness seemed particularly powerful.
“Huo Yanzhao, have you forgotten why we broke up?” she forced a smile, which bore a hint of mockery.
Huo Yanzhao quietly watched her, “I haven’t forgotten. But that was just an accident, it doesn’t mean I’ve fallen in love with someone else. Nor does it mean I will betray you again. Four years have been enough to prove my loyalty.”
Yun Xuefei opened her mouth to argue, but found herself speechless. Fresh chapters posted on noᴠelfire.net
She suddenly realized the cunning of this man. These four years, he had intentionally kept an eye on her actions while restraining himself from appearing before her, so gradually, when she thought of the name Huo Yanzhao, what she remembered was their sweet past, and the pain and unpleasantness faded unknowingly.
So, although her tone was full of mockery, the things from the past were no longer like a fishbone in her throat.
Yet, if he showed up in front of her often, with her personality, she would certainly recall those unpleasant memories over and over, forcing herself to forget him.
“…I haven’t seen your loyalty!” Yun Xuefei turned her gaze away.
Huo Yanzhao suddenly chuckled, “Yanhui should have told you what I have been doing all these years, right? Jingyao can testify for me, these years, the only people I have seen besides him are a few male assistants in the institute.”
