Chapter 61: Chapter 61: A familiar stranger
Author: Gu Rong Rong Machine Translation
The faint golden sunlight ray shone upon him, giving him an inviolable sense of nobility and elegance.
2His eyes were as dark and deep as the stars in the night sky. His thin red lips were tightly pursed.
Gu Ruochu realized that the moment she met his eyes, she felt as if she had sunk deep into them. She subconsciously averted her gaze but there was still a slight sense of shock in her heart. It was as if she was reminded of the feeling of being kissed that night.
Huo Nanchen watched as she averted her gaze. A dark light flashed across his eyes.
2"What is it?"
2Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows when he saw so many people standing there.
"Big Brother, Auntie has agreed to your divorce!"
2Huo Jingjing seized the opportunity to hold Huo Nanchen's hand and deliberately twisted Mrs. Huo's meaning. However, he pushed her aside.
2"Divorce? Why would I want a divorce?"
2Huo Nanchen's words caused Huo Jingjing's face to stiffen. She stared at the side of his face, which was still as cold as ever, in disbelief. She had been absolutely certain that her big brother did not like Gu Ruochu. She did not expect to have egg on her face so quickly.
2"Big Brother, do you really like a woman like Gu Ruochu? Impossible!"
2Gu Ruochu's heart was filled with a rush of emotions when she heard this.
2She had initially thought that Huo Nanchen preferred a woman like Gu Yanwei.
2"I like..."
2That deep and magnetic voice rang out. Gu Ruochu felt her heart tremble when she heard those two words.
"So what? So what if I don't like her? Anyway, she's my wife."
2Gu Ruochu felt like she was on a roller coaster when she heard the second half of his sentence. Initially, she had been looking forward to it. However, when she heard the rest of the sentence, she felt as if she had understood what he meant.
2As husband and wife, they were probably the most familiar strangers.
"Brother! If you don't like her, why do you still want to be married to her?" Huo Jingjing seemed to the most anxious of all the people present. Huo Nanchen pushed her hand away with a cold expression. "You don't need to care about my business!"
2Huo Jingjing stepped back in embarrassment.
When Mrs. Huo saw her son's reaction, the corners of her lips curled into an inaudible smile.
As his mother, she knew him best.
2Her son would never tolerate Gu Ruochu if he didn't have feelings for her.
2"It seems that some people should give up." Mrs. Huo commented slyly. It was clear she was referring to Gu Yanwei. Gu Yanwei's face turned pale inch by inch. She did believe that she had lost one of her backers.
2Gu Ruochu was no longer interested in her feud with Gu Yanwei. She indifferently replied, "Mother, I'll go upstairs now."
2"Okay, you're tired too." Mrs. Huo nodded and glanced at Aunt Yuan. "Aunt Yuan, bring the Young Madam's dinner up tonight. Ensure the Young Madam has a good rest."
2"Yes, Madam."
2Mrs. Huo ignored the others and did not even speak to Zhou Yunxi and her daughter. Zhou Yunxi's face turned red and she was at a loss.
Gu Yanwei also knew that she had almost suffered a heavy defeat. It was likely that all of Mrs. Huo's good feelings towards her had disappeared because of Gu Ruochu.
2Huo Nanchen did not speak. He pursed his thin lips and followed Gu Ruochu upstairs. He could sense that Gu Ruochu was not in a good mood.
2Mrs. Huo Suddenly shot a glance at Mrs. Zhang as she watched the couple go upstairs one after the other. Mrs. Zhang understood and shot a meaningful glance back. The two of them seemed to have reached an agreement on something.
2Gu Ruochu did not notice that Huo Nanchen had followed her. She was about to push open the bedroom door when her foot slipped.
