Chapter 84: Huo the Green-eyed Monster
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the freezing sensation of bubble milk tea struck her, she then only realized there were tears on her face. She looked around to see no sight of that man but just a memorial.
She was alone, like she had always been, taking the path that they used to walk countless times, visiting the shops that greeted her and asked the whereabouts of her man.
She was lost in her memories and her sentiments.
I miss you, Chen.
——
Little did she knew that, there was somebody watching her from corner to corner. Huo Li had stalked the girl for the whole day. By dusk he returned to Thunderbolt Corp., with a stack of notes in his hand which he unwillingly wrote. He submitted the notes and reported, "Brother Huo, this is the route she took today. She went to C University, apparently she was a student there. She visited quite a number of shops there but the visits were all very brief."
For Pete's sake, this is the most boring and laziest investigation I have ever conducted! Such an insult to my career! UGH!
Huo Yunting skimmed through the notes which recorded the time, the place, generally the 5W1Hs of Lu's behavior and even her expressions. It was more detailed than a romance novel.
In short, she entered quite a number of shops and never stayed for long in there, while her expression looked very grievous. Based on these clues, Huo was very sure that Lu was missing somebody!
And that somebody was…
A word came into his mind immediately.
Chen.
Huo Yunting crushed the entire report and threw it into the dustbin.
Did she just apply for a one-day leave just to think about another man? Has she forgotten that she has a husband who also happens to be her employer?
Rage was brewing in his heart, like boiling water.
Huo Li began backing away from the volcano erupting second, "B-brother Huo, I think we can call it a day n-now…"
"Thank you Captain Obvious!" He jumped up from his seat, took his coat and stormed out of the office.
By tonight I MUST know who the hell this Chen is! And when I ask her, she better say it!
"Okay…" Huo Li shrugged, the world with an actual wife grew more puzzling to him.
His Brother Huo had been acting like a bipolar lunatic day by day.
A veil of rain enclosed the entire city, as water splashed upon the window of his darkened office. The rain grew stronger with the wind, as it was soon pouring. The trees were shivering like the depressed woman, upon the rage of her man like the storm.
Huo Yunting sat at the dining table, with his dead eyes reflecting the steaming cuisine before him. He did not feel like eating. His hand indecisively twiddled the napkin as he looked at the porch from time to time.
It's raining heavily right now and she's not even back home for dinner?
The door was opened.
"Phew."
That was when Lu had returned home, lethargically pulling off her shoes with her shrunken back fitting through the small gap she opened. The rain poured in through the gap and dampened the floor.
She was completely wet by then. Her one-piece fixed upon her like a transparent membrane, holding her package in one place. Her tousled hair rested by her ears and shoulders while she wiped the water off her body.
Huo Yunting left the table and dashed towards her. She looked at the man with her watery eyes before she ran away as fast as a terrified rabbit to her nest.
"Eat your food. I'll have a shower."
Of course, Huo Yunting was not the benevolent, obedient master of house who would listen to his loved one. Lu could immediately hear the footsteps racing after her. Colors were further drained from her face as she bounced into the bathroom and turned on the tap.
Hot water was poured onto her freezing body. Her muscles relaxed yet her heart remained tight.
She closed her eyes and listened to the whisper of the water, as she thought back to things that happened today and—
The plastic door was slammed open.
Alarmed, she thought the devil gave up on his intrusion when she managed to indulge herself in some silence but it was this bang that caused her to back a few steps away.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? I'm in the shower now! Talk later!!"
"Did you forget our motto?" Said Huo Yunting as he walked towards the showerhead, unbuttoning with an expressive rhythm. He smiled, "We have to save the water, save the Earth and save Mother Nature, you." Huo the green-eyed monster stepped in front of her.
He threw away his shirt before sending himself into the shower.
"Stop! Please!" She screamed.
Please…I can't be doing this, not on Chen's death anniversary...
