“Yes, mother?” Asked Huo Chen promptly.
“Tell me, did you know anything about your brother? He’s married to Lu Zhaoyang,” inquired the old lady with a tone more towards seeking confirmation.
Wen He was grumble and sleepy a few seconds ago. The keywords struck her awake instantly such that her inner self screamed.
Holy sh*t. They are married? I knew there was something going on between them but I didn’t know they were already married!
“I knew this a long time ago,” confessed Huo Chen directly. His mother had made it blunt anyway.
“And you still brought her away back then? Chen, I always thought you were a mature child who at least knew what you were doing! I can’t believe you would keep this away from me too!” The old lady was enraged. She hesitated on the call out of sympathy towards her own son at first but the reality was much harsher than she imagined.
Your woman is already married to another man and you know it. Still, you take her away?
“No matter what had happened, I would support them, mother, since they had let go of their past. They aren’t related through blood, so, don’t have to be so alarmed. Imagine if Xue Yuming never was married to the family, Zhaoyang would probably be perfectly fine with Huo Yunting, don’t you think?”
“If Yang Yang still likes me and chooses me over Yunting, I would not hesitate in having her back. But, she’s no longer mine for now. I would let go. I really hope that you would stop destroying her happiness seeing how her mother was technically expelled from the family.”
It was silence from the old lady as Huo Chen tried protecting Zhaoyang.
He continued, “We were together before Xue Yuming was married to Zhenning, while the two elopments were completely decisions of my own. So, please, mother, don’t blame her for everything she had done.”
“What kind of spell did Lu Zhaoyang cast on both of you? How can you two still speak for her despite what her actions?”
“Nothing, mother. She casted nothing. She’s just a simple and kind-hearted woman. So, mother, again, let it go. Don’t judge a book by its cover. You could see beauty inside her. You see, I-”
“Nevermind! You and Wen He are married, so you can leave Zhaoyang alone and I won’t mention her ever again. Take care!” The old lady could hear no more of his testimony.
“I will. Goodbye, then.” He hung up the call. Wen He was on the bed, listening in all ears like a child to an epic tale told by her father. Her body straightened up quickly and patted Chen’s shoulder.
“She’s married and you eloped with her? Wow, such daring, passionate love!”
“Shut up and go back to your bed!” Said Huo Chen with squinted eyes upon her. He had just returned from jogging and needed a good shower.
Looking into his silhouette, Wen He sat onto the sofa and crossed her legs. She could not get back to sleep after having witnessed such an epic confession from the cold man.
I never imagined Huo Chen being such a straightforward man with his feelings.
Sigh, a deep love he is in indeed.
Huo Chen finished showering as he saw the woman sitting across the sofa with a messy hair and a serious look.
Wen He got up, “I have a question for you.”
Chen was drying his hair, “Yes?”
“Ever thought of letting her go and moving on with another woman instead?”
She had to clear things up since Wen He actually considered bringing him along on her runaway after the mission.
“No,” he muttered as he entered his room.
No? What do you mean by ‘no’? Does that mean ‘no, I haven’t let Zhaoyang go’ or ‘no, I will never move on with another woman’?
That’s a pretty crucial factor, okay?
