After Huo Nanchen hung up the phone, another call came in. It was from an unknown number.
He swiped his hand across the screen and picked it up. It was Xu Yichen. After the call, Huo Nanchen went into the bathroom.
2Gu Ruochu did not see Huo Nanchen in the dining room when she returned home from the set. She thought that he was still asleep and went upstairs to ask him to come down for lunch.
2When she entered the bedroom, there was no one on the messy bed. She followed the sound of water coming from the bathroom and saw Huo Nanchen walking out.
2"You're awake?"
2"Yes."
2"If you're awake, you should go and have lunch." She tiptoed slightly and reached out to help him tidy up his collar.
2Huo Nanchen subconsciously held her waist and pulled her gently. He then pressed her against his body. "Ruochu, did you sleep well last night?"
2"It was all right."
2"You slept well even when I wasn't around?" He lowered his head and casually brushed his head against her ear.
2"Are you complaining? I was the one who was alone in an empty room last night. I didn't complain," Gu Ruochu said as she pressed her lips against his.
2"I won't do it again."
2"Men always lie."
2"You're wrong. Men only lie when they're in bed. I'm not in bed right now."
2"Are you also this flirtatious when you're talking to other women?" Her tone was calm, but Huo Nanchen could tell that something was bothering Gu Ruochu.
2Huo Nanchen studied the tone of her words in detail. The combination of the sentences was so harsh to the ear.
2Xu Yichen's words on the phone suddenly rang in his ears.
2"You went home late last night. Do you think that Ruochu doesn't know anything? Huo Nanchen, you told her that you were working, but she will eventually find out what you were up to?"
2Huo Nanchen looked at Gu Ruochu's calm expression. She was indirectly confronting him about something. He did not know what was going through her mind.
2Would she be willing to compromise?
2"Ruochu, I feel that you're like a gambler sometimes, always gambling that you can leave me at any time."
2He did not ask her if she was unhappy because of what happened last night. Instead, he decided to confront her directly and wait for her reaction.
2Huo Nanchen's words exploded in Gu Ruochu's heart. She wondered if he had found out about the divorce papers hidden in her desk.
2She remained calm on the surface and only furrowed her brows slightly.
2"What do you mean?"
2"You don't need to understand what I mean. All you need to know is that you will never win that bet."
2Gu Ruochu's heart trembled. Huo Nanchen's words pierced through her soul.
2"Oh, I've said so much. Are you hungry? Let's go down and eat." Gu Ruochu did not respond to his words. Instead, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek. Then, she turned around and went downstairs. Huo Nanchen followed her, making huge strides with his long legs.
2Soon, she would understand the meaning of his words.
2At the dining table, Mrs. Huo kept serving food into Gu Ruochu's bowl. There had been a lot going on over the last couple of weeks, and she felt that Ruochu had suffered the most during that period.
2"I heard that you're planning another wedding?" Old Lady Huo sat upright in her chair and looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law with a gentle light in her eyes.
2So many things had happened over the short period she had been away from the family.
2"Yes, the date has been set. It's a week from now."
2Gu Ruochu was shocked when she heard Huo Nanchen's words. She turned her gaze towards him and tightened her grip on her chopsticks.
2"A week from now?"
2Huo Nanchen took a bit of his food and slowly and nodded. "I've modified the wedding dress. I'll bring you to see it again."
