Being hugged by him felt like so safe and comforting.
She buried her face in his chest against his damp shirt, feeling his heart beating underneath.
Ba-boom. Ba-boom.
Huo Chen smiled at her initiative.
Yang Yang still loved him. They could still be together.
“Don’t worry about the Huo family. I will deal with it.”
He will keep his promise this time and stay with her.
Lu Zhaoyang wept quietly, soothed by his comforting words.
A cool breeze swept across the rooftop, but neither of them felt the cold. Their hearts were warmed by each other’s company.
Huo Chen looked down at her teary face with a kind smile and wiped her cheeks dry.
“Just prepare yourself to become the most beautiful bride — my bride.”
Before Lu Zhaoyang could say anything, the door to the rooftop opened.
Huo Yunting stood at the door, watching the two of them in each other’s arms, and felt cynical.
He slowly moved closer toward them, studying them quietly for a long time.
The two of them were too absorbed in the moment to hear his approach.
“Does it feel good to have another man’s woman in your arms?”
The sudden interruption made them both step away from each other.
Lu Zhaoyang pushed Huo Chen away on reflex. When she saw Huo Yunting’s unreadable smile, tension returned to her once again. Her body froze in place.
Those eyes smiled with certain callousness.
She stood where she was, afraid to move a muscle.
“Huo Yunting, Yang Yang is not the kind of woman you think she is. I know her.”
Huo Chen stood between them and looked Huo Yunting in the eye. “Her mother’s decision has got nothing to do with her. You cannot reject her just because of Xue Yuming.”
Lu Zhaoyang shifted her gaze from Huo Chen’s shoulder to Huo Yunting’s face. She had an ill premonition, and a sense of dread.
Huo Yunting smiled coldly. “What do you know about her?”
“Huo Yunting, stop ridiculing her. I’ll say this again, do not blame for her something not of her doing.” Huo Chen’s expression turned solemn. He knew Yang Yang for so many years — of course he knew her.
“Alright, I’ll admit, your dear Yang Yang is good. Well…” Huo Yunting dragged his last word and finished his sentence with a whisper, “… at least in bed.”
Rumble —
Lu Zhaoyang could feel the last line of defence in her mind collapse.
Even standing behind Huo Chen, she could not stop herself from trembling. She clenched her fingers tightly and glared at Huo Yunting. If only she could shoot lasers with her eyes, then Huo Yunting would be burnt to ashes right that instant.
Huo Chen thought he misheard, but it seemed that Huo Yunting was telling the truth.
He turned around and saw the hatred and hopelessness in Lu Zhaoyang’s eyes. That shook him to his core.
So, the man she was referring to was Huo Yunting?!
… How did this happen?
Lu Zhaoyang slowly stepped forward, dragging her feet along with her.
She was no longer Chen’s girlfriend. What right did she have to let him shield her against trouble?
Huo Yunting saw her move to Huo Chen’s right. His smile deepened, but his eyes betrayed the anger he felt.
She was his woman, his wife. He never allowed anyone to touch his belongings!
Huo Chen was no exception!
