Chapter 23: Even In Sleep, He's Not Honest
ged into his clothes. When he went downstairs, the sky was just beginning to lighten.Huo Chenxi leaned back on the sofa, his fist still clenched against his stomach.Su He was startled and hurried forw...Su He immediately sensed something was wrong the moment Bai Yihuan offered her tea. So, she decided to play along and see what Bai Yihuan's true intentions were.
She deliberately coughed up most of the tea, though a small amount remained in her throat. She wasn't worried about it.
After the incident at the bar last time, Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin disregarded her objections and asked their second brother, Shen Xingfan, to select the best bodyguard to secretly protect her.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yihuan actually had her sent to Bai Yiyang's hotel room.
Under the effect of the medicine, Su He's head felt a little fuzzy, but she could still hear Huo Chenxi's voice.
"My people, you dare to touch them If even a single hair on her head is harmed, I will make you pay!"
A cold voice, a heavy pressure. The man who had been carrying her trembled constantly and finally couldn't withstand the pressure, handing her over to Huo Chenxi.
He lifted her up, encircling her waist with his arms before turning and striding away.
What is he going to do
Su He was startled, reflexively wanting to struggle free, but then remembering his relationship with Bai Yihuan, he endured it and signaled the dark guard to stand down.
After their divorce, Huo Chenxi repeatedly intruded into her world. After learning her identity, he became even more persistent, completely ignoring her clear intentions to sever all ties and have nothing to do with each other.
At the end of the day, he's just weighing the pros and cons and thinks she's more useful to him right now.
How could she know this wasn't a scheme they had devised together
Even, maybe everything that happened at the bar before was all planned out by them.
Otherwise, how would Huo Chenxi tell her that it was all a misunderstanding
Su He closed her eyes and quietly bit her tongue, using the pain to force herself to stay barely conscious.
In her drowsy state, she felt Huo Chenxi placing her in the backseat of the car before starting the engine and driving away.
The car drove for a long time and finally stopped.
Huo Chenxi carried her out of the car horizontally, his movements were very light, as if afraid to wake her.
In the evening breeze, a familiar scent of roses wafted in and out.
He took her back to Starry Bay!
Su He remembered, she once thought that Huo Chen Xi only planted roses here because he liked them. After arriving at Xingye Bay, she took even greater care of the garden.
Later she learned that roses were Bai Yihuan's favorite flower.
Ho Chen Xi planted these flowers for Bai Yi Huan.
Thinking back on her past one-sided infatuation, Su He regretted it so much that she wished she could slap herself a few times.
If she could choose again, she would never fall in love with Huo Chenxi, nor would she marry him.
He Chenxi carried Su He home, and strode straight into the bedroom with her in his arms.
Looking at Su He lying quietly on the bed, Huo Shenxi suddenly felt that the originally cold room had become colorful and warm.
A kind of ineffable sense of satisfaction, quietly spreads in the heart.
A void in my heart has finally been filled.
I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her for a long time. Unable to help myself, I lifted my fingertips and gently traced her cheek, outlining her eyebrows.
Just like she used to do to him.
Compared to the day of her divorce, Su He's complexion had become much rosier.
The originally overly gaunt cheeks had gained some flesh, making the facial lines softer. The whole person exuded a gentle and serene aura.
Ho Chenxi seemed to see Su He who used to always smile gently at him.
It's not at all about post-divorce antagonism and sarcastic remarks towards him.
"He's really forgetful, isn't he Still drugged." Huo Chenxi sighed helplessly in a low voice. "But it would be so nice if you stayed like this forever!"
Unable to contain his longing, he carefully lay down beside Su He.
A wave of drowsiness washed over him, Huo Shenxi, who hadn't slept soundly in a long time, fell fast asleep beside Su He.
Feeling Huo Chenxi's breath gradually become steady, Su He, who had been tense all along, finally let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes.
Moonlight seeped in through the gaps in the curtains like a faint veil. In the dim light, Su He recognized that this was her and Huo Chenxi's bridal chamber.
The bedroom was arranged just as it was before she left.
The exclusive custom bed sheets and duvet covers are exactly the same patterns she chose before.
It was here, once, that he spoke harshly to her yet clung to her with a desperate intensity. Time and again, he left her begging for mercy, tears streaming down her face.
Past events flickered before her eyes, a dull ache in Su He's heart.
She thought she had long since given up on Huo Shenxi, with no feelings left. But returning here, her emotions were still uncontrollably fluctuating.
Thinking about Huo Chenxi's overly intimate actions and strange words just now, Su He took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.
This is all just a calculation of the pros and cons on his part.
With great care, Su He moved the arm that was draped across her waist, turning away from the bed to get down from the other side. Just then, the arm suddenly came back up and landed perfectly on the soft flesh of her chest.
This scoundrel, even in his sleep he's not being honest!
Su He stiffened all over, feeling both ashamed and angry. She couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
If Huo Chenxi wasn't still breathing steadily, she would have suspected he did it on purpose.
Carefully withdrawing his hand again, Su He tiptoed away like a thief, making not a sound. Leveraging his familiarity with the room's layout, he successfully escaped the bedroom.
Hallway, living room, dining room...
All the places she had once destroyed with her own hands, have all returned to their original state.
Even the fish-and-lotus ornament she had impulsively bought at a street stall, which she had placed in a corner, was intact. If she hadn't personally seen the bodyguard burn it, she would have thought it was the very one she had purchased.
Everything that had happened before seemed like a bad dream. She had only been out for a short while, and upon her return, nothing had changed.
Su He unconsciously stroked her abdomen, the dense pain radiating outwards.
Everything in the room can be restored by humans, but they will never be the same again.
No longer wanting to see any of this, Su He raised his foot and walked out. Just as he stepped out the door, he was startled by a sudden alarm.
The bedroom lights immediately came on.
Su He was startled and instinctively ran outside.
At the entrance, a tall, blue-eyed blonde man leaned against a sapphire blue sports car. When he saw her appear, the frown that had been etched on his face instantly vanished.
"Mr. Long, what are you doing here" Su He was astonished.
Long Mao smiled and said, “The moon is beautiful tonight. I was taking a walk and ended up here by chance. How about we take a stroll together”
"...."
To walk all the way to someone else's doorstep is quite a coincidence!
"Su He!" Huo Chen Xi rushed downstairs, seeing a man and a woman standing before him in the moonlight. His anger was mixed with an inexplicable sense of panic as he called out her name.
Su He didn't look back, and got straight into the sports car.
Long Mao slowly gave Huo Chen Xi a thumbs up, then quickly flipped it upside down, grinning provocatively. He turned and got into the car, starting the engine with a deafening roar. The blue sports car sped away rapidly.
Ho Chenxi almost had no hesitation, got into the best-performing sports car at the fastest speed, and chased after him like a bolt from the blue.out of Di Jin Group while he was sick.He Suwen was busy contacting Huo Chenxi's supporters, trying to defeat Huo Chenyi's ambitions, and neglected taking care of Huo Chenxi.Otherwise, the guards on Hu...
