After dinner, Gu Ruochu stayed for a while and drank some tea with Granny Li as they watched a soap opera. She watched as Granny Li sat on the sofa and slowly knitted a sweater. From time to time, Rong Xiao's grandmother would adjust her reading glasses.
2Old people were always more at ease that the younger generation. Gu Ruochu laughed when she heard Granny Li mumble to herself incoherently.
2Unsurprisingly, Granny Li said something about Bai Qi, and Gu Ruochu listened to her quietly. Finally, she spoke up.
2"Granny Li, why do you like to knit sweaters so much?"
2"It's an ancestral craft. I can't stop doing it." Granny Li took a break and smiled. "It takes a long time to knit a sweater. Otherwise, I could have knitted one for you..."
2"But Granny Li, you're too old. You shouldn't strain yourself."
2Granny Li sighed, "I once said that I would help Rong Xiao's friend, Bai Qi, knit a sweater. I know that he's gone, but you're also Rong Xiao's friend. I'll knit a sweater for you and make up for all the regrets I have in my life."
2After chatting with Granny Li for some time, Gu Ruochu decided to go back to the Huo residence. On her way back, Granny Li's words echoed in her mind. She realized that life was fragile and fleeting.
2She would cherish her second life and try to make the best of her situation.
2When she arrived at the Huo residence, Gu Ruochu did not enter the villa. Instead, she sat on a bench in the garden. Huo Nanchen heard from the maid that the Young Madam had returned and went out to look for her.
2When Huo Nanchen entered the garden, he saw Gu Ruochu leaning against the swing. She looked lonely and desolate. His heart trembled, and he took a few steps forward to pick her up.
2Gu Ruochu instinctively struggled a few times when she felt someone trying to grab her from her back.
2"Why are you here?"
2"Why am I here? Isn't this my home?" Under Gu Ruochu's stunned expression, Huo Nanchen lowered his head and kissed her before wiping away the tears on her face.
2Gu Ruochu closed her eyes, and after he kissed her, she felt a tug at her heart.
2When she opened her eyes again, she felt a little lost.
"Why are you crying? Didn't Nanny Zhang tell you that I would be home tonight?" Huo Nanchen lifted her from the swing and carried her into the villa.
2Gu Ruochu did not speak and only shook her head.
She wasn't in the mood to reconcile with him.
2Gu Ruochu's attitude made Huo Nanchen tense.
2After their argument in Country M, Huo Nanchen feared that he was on the cusp of losing her forever.
2That realization caused a thick layer of haze to cover Huo Nanchen's heart, and it could not be dispersed.
2Mrs. Huo had ordered some fresh flowers and placed them on the table. When the couple came into the villa, she couldn't help but frown at Huo Nanchen. She mockingly put her hands on her hips.
2"Why did you offend your wife again?"
2After the couple had returned to the country separately, Mrs. Huo had sensed that something was not right.
2Gu Ruochu remained silent. Huo Nanchen sat down, but he did not let go of her. Instead, he placed her on his knees and allowed her to lean against him.
2Gu Ruochu closed her eyes, and her expression remained indifferent.
2"Why were you crying? Your mother-in-law thinks that I've broken your heart." Huo Nanchen reached out and caressed her back.
2"Put me down!"
2Gu Ruiochu did not want to speak to him, especially after she was him putting on a gentle act.
2Huo Nanchen had broken her heart on two occasions. Gu Ruochu felt that there was no need to torture herself and give him another chance because the result would only be the same.
