Chapter 864: Have You Always Thought of Me as a Burden to You? (1/2)

As their eyes met, she felt her own eyes betraying her anxiety.

On the contrary, Huo Chen’s calm and wintry gaze flashed with an unreadable emotion before he quickly suppressed it. The man frowned and strode toward her. He asked cooly, “Why are you here?”

“…”

Wen He was dazed and simply stared at him.

There was no surprise, no joy, and not even a sliver of emotion in him.

It was as though her presence was meaningless to him.

Wen He opened her mouth but could not find the words to say to him.

“Hey, Officer Huo.”

Gu Jinzhi stepped forward and put an arm around her shoulder in a show of intimacy. His eyes twinkled suggestively.

He looked at Wen He and asked, “Ain’t that right, honey?”

Huo Chen’s lips thinned as he took a brief glance at Wen He’s pale face.

“I will send you two off tomorrow.”

He said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Wen He was about to retort when she smelled the thick scent of blood coming from Huo Chen.

She was horrified and grabbed his arms without thinking.

“Where are you hurt? Is it bad? I’ll get the medical officer immediately!”

She turned and looked ready to dash away.

“That’s not necessary.”

Huo Chen said without intonation, stopping her in her tracks.

“You will stay in your room and remain there until I say otherwise. Tomorrow, I will assign a few men to send you back to the city.”

Wen He studied his emotionless face and said bitterly, “Do you not trust me?”
