Qin Yuan choked after hearing Luo Tao’s words. “I’m just asking if you can do it!”
“No.”
The word was said cleanly, not giving Qin Yuan any opportunity to make him go back on his words.
Qin Yuan wailed, “Huo Zhen pushed his brother into the fire pit. Does it really not hurt your conscience?”
Qin Yuan’s unwilling attitude made Luo Tao curious. What did Huo Yu do to Qin Yuan that made him so traumatized.
“Your engagement with Huo Yu was only a temporary measure. Why are you not willing to go ahead with the marriage?” Luo Tao asked, stopping what he was doing.
Hearing Luo Tao ask about this, Qin Yuan was no longer lifeless but had nothing left to live for.
Back then, he and Huo Yu dated for a period of time. At that time, he was annoyed by his father urging him to get married and ran abroad at the slightest disagreement. He used to have a good relationship with Huo Yu, so he directly went to be her neighbor.
They were both at the age where hormones were raging. As time passed, they couldn’t recall who fell first, but the attractive duo soon developed feelings for each other and ended up together.
Huo Yu was a bright and flamboyant girl. Her love was red-hot, like a ball of fire, burning with passion for the other party.
At that time, Qin Yuan was at an age of uncertainty. Although he liked her, he did not reject the advances of other girls.
Perhaps it was a man’s dream to be surrounded by women, but a girl wanted only The One.
In the end, Qin Yuan paid the price for his immaturity and lost the girl who was devoted to him.
A woman had designs on him and he almost had sex with her. Even though it turned out that nothing had happened between them, Huo Yu had already lost her trust in him.
When the two of them were dating, they did not let their friends or relatives know about it, so they broke up quietly.
In fact, he was overjoyed that Huo Yu had agreed to be engaged to him, but he immediately realized that the fact that she agreed to it so easily was proof that she did not care about him at all.
He did not want to delay Huo Yu a second time because of some unimportant reason…
Seeing that Qin Yuan was silent, Luo Tao took a sip of tea. “Reason?”
“No reason. Anyway, I don’t want to be engaged.” Qin Yuan firmly refused.
“Okay.” Luo Tao answered indifferently and continued to work.
Luo Tao’s attitude confused Qin Yuan. “What do you mean by okay? You don’t want to ask anymore?”
“I’m not asking further.”
Luo Tao spoke to Qin Yuan while he worked without delay.
“Then what about not getting engaged?” Qin Yuan asked tentatively.
“Tell Uncle Qin yourself.”
Qin Yuan rolled his eyes without caring about his image. He already knew that brother Huo was really unreliable. He twisted and turned his words without changing his mind.
“Three o’clock. Don’t forget to pick her up.” Luo Tao closed his computer and prepared to leave.
Qin Yuan jumped up from the sofa in an instant. “Huo Zhen! You want me to pick her up?”
“Or else? I’ll do the pick-up in Luo Tao’s name?”
Hearing Luo Tao’s words, Qin Yuan fell silent. Although news of the engagement between their families had been released, there would still be people watching Huo Yu before the engagement. Huo Zhen could not show his face yet.
“By the way, don’t let Huo Yu stay in a hotel. Let her go straight to your villa,” Luo Tao instructed.
“My villa!” Qin Yuan’s hair stood on end. He said repeatedly, “No! No, no, no! Absolutely not!”
In the past, the two of them had been living opposite each other every day, and they had liked each other. How could they let Huo Yu stay at his house this time!
Speaking of which, Qin Yuan was the one who could not let go of their relationship. This was also the reason why he subsequently did not get close to women.
When Huo Yu broke up with him, she ended it quietly, making it very clear that the two of them should not make it public. The Qin and Huo families still had dealings with each other, so they could resume their former friendship.
After that, Qin Yuan returned from abroad and ran to C City to run a jade store. Huo Yu stayed overseas and didn’t return for a long time.
Luo Tao briefly glanced at Qin Yuan. “If you let your fiancée stay in a hotel, wouldn’t you be laughed at?”
“The Huo family also has a villa in City C. Let her stay at home,” Qin Yuan said dejectedly.
“Someone is watching.”
Luo Tao had always been cautious, so after discovering that the Huo family’s villa might be surveilled, he never went to that area again.
With all his escape routes blocked, Qin Yuan wanted to die. Why couldn’t he escape?
Imagine that the person you like is about to become your fiancée and live under the same roof as you, but she only sees you as a friend and won’t give you any possibility of developing a relationship. This life is so depressing!
