“Sort of.” It was just that sometimes there was some shameless freeloading big cheese in her apartment.
While the two left the office together, Xiang Jinxi said, “I will send you home.”
Lu Zhaoyang shook her head with a smile, waving her mobile phone. “I have booked a ride.”
Xiang Jinxi said no more. He stayed by her side while she waited for her ride.
To him, it was not safe for a girl to be alone on the street at this hour.
About ten minutes, the car arrived.
“President, see you tomorrow.”
“Mhm.” Xiang Jinxi did not watch her leave but turned to walk to his car.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoyang saw Huo Yunting’s car the moment she arrived in front of her apartment. She sighed. It seemed that she had to find a way to escape his torture tonight.
She did not stop but went straight upstairs.
The man in the car saw her and got off the car to follow her upstairs.
An hour later, Huo Chen was outside the apartment.
Huo Chen stood beside Huo Yunting’s car and looked up at the window on the third floor. The living room and bedroom were lit.
He just kept staring up like that for God-knows-how-long.
Even when all the lights went out, Huo Yunting had not come down.
Yang Yang.
Huo Chen felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. He silently took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.
The wind was a little strong tonight; it took him a few attempts before he could light it up.
From midnight to dawn, Huo Yunting did not come down.
Likewise, Huo Chen also stood there for the whole night.
The sky was getting brighter on the horizon. The sun was going to rise.
He turned and left without words.
Other than his tall figure, there was no one on the streets at the moment, only the morning breeze and dead branches. It all seemed lonely.
Once out of the neighborhood, Huo Chen got into a car.
Song Shou in the driver’s seat looked back at him and wanted to ask questions, only to find that Huo Chen was covered in dew, pining away.
Song Shou had never seen the general looked like this. He quietly fired up the engine and drove away.
Under the chilly wind all night, Huo Chen had bloodshot eyes; it was dry and painful. He looked drained.
Yang Yang seemed to be living a good life. Out of the Huo family, she did not have to face the abomination.
But Huo Yunting...
Huo Chen’s mind went blank. It seemed that he could not change anything now. It also seemed that he was one step too late.
Now, not only that he could not take her with him, but he also was not sure if she was willing to do so.

In the morning, Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang left the apartment together. Before even reaching the car, Lu Zhaoyang saw the cigarette butts strewn on the side of the vehicle.
“Was there a car thief targeting your car last night?” she said jokingly.
“Anyone who dares to steal my car must be tired of living in the city.”
Huo Yunting opened the passenger door for her. “Get in the car. I will send you.”
“No, I will go by myself!”
He pressed his hands on the door and slowly said, “Do you want me to pick you up at your office in the evening with a banner that says ‘I am picking up my wife’?”
“You are shameless!”
Lu Zhaoyang had no choice but to get into the car.
“Don’t you like my shamelessness?” Huo Yunting buckled up and not forgot to tease her.
“You seem to have forgotten, I was forced to marry you.”
Who the hell would like such a demon?
Huo Yunting nosed his car out of the neighborhood with a faint smile on his face. “We have time. You might as well try to like me, maybe you will feel better this way.”
“I am not interested,” she said.
“You are so boring.” He countered.
The two chatted, if not mocked each other since the morning. The tense relationship seemed to be undergoing a subtle change, of which both of them were not aware.
