Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Do you mind if I stay over?
“So what?” Yun Xuefei bit her lip, “I don’t care anymore.”
Huo Yanzhao’s pupils contracted slightly.
He finished the soup in his bowl in one gulp, then pulled out a paper towel to wipe the corners of his mouth, “Alright, I’ll leave.”
Yun Xuefei hadn’t expected him to be so decisive; she had thought he would persist to the end.
Deep down… a sense of loss unexpectedly surged within her.
She was somewhat angry with herself, and her voice grew even colder, “Be careful on your way.”
“Could you see me out, please?” Huo Yanzhao looked at her, his voice tinged with a plea.
Yun Xuefei pursed her lips, not saying a word, but stood up to fetch her coat from the rack.
Huo Yanzhao watched her slender figure and smiled softly.
Yun Xuefei accompanied him outside, watching as he climbed into the car.
Looking at the man’s retreating figure, a somewhat indescribable bitterness suddenly welled up in her heart.
In fact, she didn’t even know what she had been waiting for over the years. The birth of her daughter had made her life extraordinarily fulfilling; she hadn’t had the time to consider personal emotional issues. Reflecting on it, all the men who had shown interest in her seemed blurred in her memory, and in the end, the only face she could clearly recall was Huo Yanzhao’s.
Perhaps it was because their separation had been due to an accident, not because the feelings had dissipated, so even though they had been divorced for four years, the painful and reluctant look in that man’s eyes still clearly lingered in the depths of her heart.
With this thought, Yun Xuefei slowly exhaled.
Just at that moment, she noticed that the man, who had already seated himself in the car, suddenly pushed the door open and stepped out.
Huo Yanzhao approached her, looking somewhat helpless, “The car has broken down; I can’t get it started.”
Yun Xuefei looked at him in surprise, “How can that be?”
“I don’t know what the problem is,” he frowned, “but it indeed won’t start.”
Yun Xuefei watched him for a while before lowering her eyes and saying, “Then take my car, I’ll get the keys for you.”
“No, if I take your car, what will you do tomorrow morning?” Huo Yanzhao furrowed his brows, “You need to take Tang Yuan to kindergarten.”
“Then call a taxi back.”
“It’s difficult to get a taxi at this hour,” his voice low and, for some reason, sounding somewhat pitiful, “unless I walk to the intersection, which would take at least half an hour.”
Yun Xuefei scoffed, “Does that mean you can only stay over?”
“If you don’t mind, that would certainly be best,” Huo Yanzhao gave a light smile.
“You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” Yun Xuefei looked at him expressionlessly, “Choosing this time to come over, deliberately breaking the car.”
“No,” Huo Yanzhao denied, “If you don’t want me to stay over, then I’ll just sleep in the car for the night and call someone to tow it in the morning.”
Yun Xuefei said without hesitation, “Fine, then just stay in the car.”
After speaking, she turned and walked back.
Huo Yanzhao hadn’t expected her to actually be so heartless and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
It seemed he really would have to sleep in the car for the night.
He was about to turn away when he suddenly noticed Yun Xuefei had stopped in her tracks.
She appeared to hesitate for a long time before turning back with a cold voice, “Well, aren’t you coming? Don’t expect me to open the door for you later!”
Huo Yanzhao was momentarily startled, then a flicker of ecstasy crossed his eyes. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
He clenched his fist, struggling to contain himself, before giving a low “hmm” and quickly followed after her.
