â...â
Lu Zhaoyang did all she could. After she left, she continued mumbling to herself about how stubborn Wen He was.
In the driverâs seat beside her, Huo Yunting said plainly, âIf Huo Chen can resolve the matter of Wen Heâs background, they will be together again.â
He raised an eyebrow and added, âJust like us.â
âItâs harder than that.â
Lu Zhaoyang did not share his optimism.
The fact that Wen He ignored Huo Chenâs wishes and decided to separate from him was already trouble enough. It would be difficult for Huo Chen to forgive her.
âHuo Yunting, if you were Huo Chen and I made the same decision as Wen He, what would you do?â
Huo Yuntingâs eyes narrowed.
âThatâs simple,â he replied with a sadistic smile. âYou wonât get the chance to leave the bedroom ever again.â
â...â
Why canât he just be serious for once?!
Lu Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him and ignored his nonsensical contribution. She stroked her belly and continued to ponder on the matter for a long time after.
On the other hand, Wen He stayed up in her little bungalow throughout the night. It was only dawn that she dragged herself to bed and caught a few hours of sleep.
For the next two days, Yang Yi left her alone.
She stayed off the internet to avoid seeing what she knew was going to be a battlefield of words between keyboard warriors.
In the evening, Yang Yi finally sent someone to visit her.
âThe press conference is scheduled for tomorrow, we will come by to pick you up at eight.â
Yang Yiâs second-in-command passed to her a piece of paper filled with words.
âThese are the questions that will be posed to you tomorrow, and we have prepared the answers for you. Memorize them and reply accordingly.â
âOkay.â
Wen He accepted the script from the officer and saw him off. Then, she sat down and took a brief glance of the paper.
The questions were all straightforward and all she had to do was clarify her relationship with Huo Chen, with an emphasis on the fact that both Huo Chen and the military were ignorant of her background at first.
At the end of the press conference, the military will announce that she was in military custody and will be thoroughly investigated. She will then quietly leave Z Country.
âHah...â Wen He chuckled softly. âItâs for the best.â
It would be impossible for her to return to Z Country ever again after the press conference.
Wen He folded the paper and pocketed it. Then, she took a few beers from the kitchen and went to her bedroom. She sat on the rocking chair in her balcony and started drinking under the moonlight.
As a result of her rotten mood, she started to feel tipsy very quickly despite usually being able to drink like a fish. Her gaze gradually became unfocused.
After the press conference tomorrow, she would have to leave this place, right?
âHuo Chen...â
She rested her forehead on one hand and muttered softly, âIâm sorry...â
Suddenly, a voice spoke cooly, âAre you really, now?â
!!
Wen He bounced to her feet and looked around her. To her great surprise, she saw a slender figure climbing up to her balcony.
He landed gracefully on her balcony and looked dreadfully angry. Wen He fell back heavily into her seat and stared at her unannounced visitor.
âHuo Chen?â She asked in disbelief.
Was he not locked up?
Yang Yi would never have released him earlier. Did Huo Chen escape from confinement?
âHow are you here?â
Huo Chen looked down at her with an unreadable expression. He said coldly, âYou just canât wait to get out of my face, donât you?â
