Huo Chen frowned. He did not reply.
âDonât tell me. I got you?â She reached his cheek with her right hand and fondled it playfully, âOr you only missed that one exciting night with me?â
Huo Chen looked into her eyes, his brows further furrowed, âIs that all you mastered in Golden City?â
Wen He chuckled and pouted her lips, âYou donât like it?â Her fingers slid down his neck and then his collar which left a trail of heat on Huo Chen, whose expression grew complicated. Nevertheless, she carried on emanating her charm and made a new offer, âIf thatâs what you seek, how about we have one more one night stand? Just to pay you off for our breakup, to celebrate new relationships for each of us.â
âIs that what you really thought?â His tone grew distant.
Is that all you want to do? Devaluing yourself so Iâll get despised and drop you by the road?
âYeah.â Wen He sounded righteous as she spoke, âThereâs nothing a good one night stand could not solve. If one night doesnât work, two nights. If not, third timeâs the charm.â
â...â Huo Chen stared at her in silence while a rage was brewing within his heart. He threw Wen He away and opened the door for her, âGet out.â
Wen He shrugged and got off slowly, âSo whenâs our divorce?â
Huo Chen bit his lips as he tried to suppress the emotion screaming inside him.
âOne week from now. At the bureau.â
She wants to leave after all. Thereâs no point for me to hold her back apart from humiliating myself.
The statement stunned Wen He yet she forced a brilliant smile, âOkay. Thanks.â There she shut the door and the car raced away like a raging bull.
Wen He stumbled upon the shrinking silhouette of Huo Chenâs car. Her plastic smile fell apart as she soullessly walked by the road under the dim moonlight while being blown by the frigid wind. There were a few cars and pedestrians sometimes by the street but they did not hold indifference Wen He had towards the world by then. They curiously peeked at her, seeing her advancing forward to the darker street.
âHey.â It was then a Rolls-Royce moved leisurely to her side and the window wound down. âMy lady, do you need a guardian?â
It was Gu Jinzhiâan unpleasant sight for Wen He as she frowned yet she opened the door and entered the car anyway. The manâs eyes contained joyful greed as his arms devoured her. She struggled, âLet me go! Iâm not in the mood to play!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He sighed, âI feel like youâre in need of a nice warm hug. I donât mind.â
Wen Heâs aggressive actions ceased as she fell apart within his embrace. Tears weted his shirt as smudged by her makeup. Gu Jinzhiâs eyes grew gentle as he tapped her back.
A screech from the outside attracted his attention. Gu Jinzhi curiously watched the military vehicle zooming away from the scene. He seemed to have understood something by then.
âInteresting...â His lips barely moved.
âThank you...â Wen He pushed Gu Jinzhi away and uttered her thankfulness softly as she leaned against the other end of the car.
âLetâs go,â Gu Jinzhi ordered his driver before passing a glance at Wen He all curled up on her seat, barefooted.
