novelI Let Her Go
| ← Ch.526 | Ch.528 → |
"?" Ye Xi's thoughts had been exposed by him without hesitation, and she was a little embarrassed and exasperated, "Where did I get that?"
"Whether you know it or not." Huo Yaoting replied with absolutely no mercy.
Ye Xi's face flushed red, her lips moved a few times, she was so embarrassed that she did not say a word.
Huo Yaoting looked at her with a calm and collected expression. He spoke in a calm and steady ma er, but every word that came out of his mouth made Ye Xi feel so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it."The reason why you deliberately brought up the Uncle Lan is to remind me about Lan Shan. From begi ing to end, you have been troubled in your heart, and you were afraid that Lan Shan's matter would be caused by me. You are even more afraid that Qin Susu's death will have something to do with me. And the real reason why you never fully trusted me in your heart makes you hesitate and feel pain. I guess if all this is really about me, you're not going to be with me anymore. You've even made up your mind to leave me for the worst."
Huo Yaoting paused, and looked at Ye Xi with cold and mocking eyes, "Am I right?"
"?" Ye Xi's face was as pale as paper and her moist eyes stared blankly at the terrifying man who had thoroughly dissected all the thoughts in her heart.
Huo Yaoting used a hand to pinch her face from Ye Xi's chin, his expression somewhat sinister."Unfortunately, I won't give you another chance to leave me."
Ye Xi's eyes moved slightly but she did not speak and looked at him blankly.
Huo Yaoting suddenly let go of Ye Xi's hand, his expression cold and indifferent, as he locked onto the little face of Ye Xi that he had pinched the white imprint on, "Lan Shan was the first to poison you, and then viciously pushed you down the stairs. She wouldn't be able to survive even if she died a thousand times before coming to a conclusion. At first, I really wanted to give her a taste of my own medicine, but in the end, I didn't. I let her go."
Huo Yaoting looked at Ye Xi's still stern face and squinted his eyes, "As for why she was bullied, maybe she offended someone and got revenge, or maybe that person wanted to use this matter to instigate a relationship between you and me."
In the current circumstances, the latter was unquestionable.
And the person who designed Lan Shan, him, and Ye Xi...
Huo Yaoting's eyes flashed coldly.
Ye Xi finally understood everything after hearing this.
Although Lan Shan said that it had nothing to do with him, the truth was that he could not get rid of the responsibility for what happened to Lan Shan in the end.
If it were not for the fact that he wanted to use a tooth for a tooth, that person would not have used Lan Shan and in the end, Lan Shan would not have?
Ye Xi's mood did not improve because of his explanation.
Closing his eyes, Ye Xi looked at Huo Yaoting with clear but hard to cover eyes that were filled with pain, "That? Where's Qin Susu? "
Huo Yaoting's eyes turned deep as he stared at Ye Xi, "If I were to tell you that Qin Susu's matter is completely unrelated to me, would you believe me?"
"?" Ye Xi was startled, but also stu ed for a moment, before lightly nodding. She looked at him with pure and calm eyes, "I believe you."
"As for why she jumped down from the Huo's Building, or was pushed down by someone else, the answer will definitely surface in the near future."
Qin Susu was able to enter the Huo's Building, and climb onto the top floor without any obstructions. If there was no one inside to help her, she would not even be able to enter the door to the Huo's Building.
Since the person who allied with Qin Susu was in the Huo's, then, it would not be difficult to guess anything.
Hearing him say that, Ye Xi became nervous, "But who in the world wants to put Susu to death?"
Huo Yaoting pressed the center of Ye Xi's brows tightly together, the profound meaning in his eyes was something Ye Xi could not understand, "Knowing is useless other than being vexed."
"?" Ye Xi's small face changed, and she lowered her head, depressed, "What you're saying is, I'm very useless."
"Can you think of anything else besides that?" Huo Yaoting's face stiffened as he glared at her.
Ye Xi's lips moved twice, but he did not say anything in the end.
Huo Yaoting sighed and rubbed her head soothingly, "Don't look down on yourself. You have no confidence in making me look like this in front of you. Tell me, is there anything in this world that is more useful than you? "
Ye Xi, "..."
Was he trying to comfort her, or was he trying to make her feel worse?
Huo Yaoting held her in his arms and stayed silent for a long while, before he suddenly said in a low voice, "Accompany me to a place tomorrow."
Ye Xi's brows twitched, he raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, "Where to?"
"Didn't you always want to know about my past? I'll take you to see my past." Huo Yaoting's voice was a little hoarse. The forbearance that flashed across his usually cold and solemn face made Ye Xi suddenly feel that he was very cruel.
However, her intense curiosity and the i er demons that had been tormenting her all this time forced her to continue being cruel to the people she loved the most.
After taking in a deep breath, Ye Xi felt a pain in her lungs that was as sharp as a knife, she looked at him and slowly nodded, "Okay."
On this night, Huo Yaoting and Ye Xi closed their eyes and did not sleep. Both of them seemed to know that the other did not sleep, yet neither of them took the initiative to speak.
The morning of the second day, Ye Xi looked tired as he stared at the pair of panda eyes as he got out of bed.
In comparison to Ye Xi's listlessness, the physically strong Huo Yaoting seemed to be fine as she was in high spirits.
It was just a face, and it was colder than ever.
Ye Xi felt terrible in his heart, but he had no choice but to ignore them.
It wasn't easy for him to be willing to be honest with her. She knew that if she was soft-hearted at this moment, she would never have the chance to hear him tell her everything.
By the side of the dining table, Ji ian had long since sensed that something was amiss with the auras of Huo Yaoting and Huo Yaoting.
With her head down, she nibbled on her vegetarian meat buns and glanced at Huo Yaoting and Ye Xi.
However, Huo Yaoting and Huo Yaoting had ignored his son the entire time, which made Ji ian feel extremely frustrated. He sighed in his heart and decided to not participate in their affairs.
Ye Xi's mind was preoccupied, he did not have much appetite, after drinking two mouthfuls of porridge he stared at the table in a daze.
Huo Yaoting took his time with his breakfast gracefully. His appetite was normal as usual, but his pair of heavy eyes were imprinted with anger.
The family of three had just finished their breakfast when Huo Chengshang arrived.
He looked deeply at the gloomy and restless man, and didn't say anything. He walked in front of Ji ian and picked him up with one hand, "Nian, today Uncle Huo will accompany you, okay?"
Ji ian looked at Ye Xi, then looked at Huo Yaoting, and nodded sensibly.
After that, Huo Chengshang carried Ji ian and left.
Huo Yaoting picked up the down jacket from the rack and put it on Ye Xi's body. The black overcoat was on his arm, but he was not wearing it.
Ye Xi could clearly feel the tension in his body, as well as the low pressure coming from his bones. She trembled as she closed her eyes.
As the car drove along the snake-like road, it was filled with dense trees on both sides of the road. The winter sunlight couldn't penetrate into the road which was shrouded by dense trees, making it very gloomy.
Ye Xi looked at the man beside her who had not said a word since the moment they got in the car. She didn't dare to let herself suspect whether what she had done was right or wrong.
Gradually, the tall trees were replaced by clusters of short, lush trees. As the car passed by, the leaves and branches brushed against the windows, creating a creaking sound that made one's hair stand on end.
Ye Xi looked at the road in front of him, which was covered with trees. Her thin white fingers were trembling as she pinched her knees, as she turned her head to look at the man beside her in panic, "Where, where are we going?"
Huo Yaoting looked at Ye Xi, his heavy pupils slowly leaking blood red, as if he was a vampire who had finally revealed his true appearance in the black forest.
Ye Xi tried his best to restrain himself from shouting out loud.
He told himself over and over in his heart that he was her husband and she was the father of his child. There was no need to be afraid, no need to be afraid of him.
However, the hint in his heart did not have much of an effect, causing Ye Xi's thin body to lightly tremble.
The thought that he had been trying so hard not to regret along the way was also slowly dissipating at this moment.
She regretted it!
Ye Xi trembled her pale lips, leaned over, and impulsively grabbed Huo Yaoting's hand, "Hubby, let's go back, let's go back okay?"
