239 Thrown Into the Pond (2/2)

Mr Gu.

Her Mr Gu.

Tang Mo'er speedily turned around and rushed into the pond, the cold waters more than knee-deep as she bent down to search in the muddy waters. Like a madwoman, she threw her arms into the murky water, disturbing the placid waters with her frenzied hands. Mud, silt and sediment. Where did the ring go?

Hiss….! A sharp shard of glass slit her finger open and red blood trickled down her hands. The dark red against her pale white skin made it look even more morbid in the dim light.

It was over.

She couldn't find the ring.

After she had lost Mr Gu, she even lost the ring he had given her.

…

A red Ferrari maneuvered itself into a spot nearby and Huo Beichen opened the door and alighted the car. Through the heavy rain, he saw the petite woman standing bent over in the pond, clearly searching for something.

That damn woman!

Huo Beichen ran inside the pond too, grabbing onto Tang Mo'er's icy cold arms as he helped her up. ”What the f*ck, Tang Mo'er, are you crazy?! Why the hell are you torturing yourself like this? Who are you putting up an act for, who knows whether the engagement ceremony is already over. My brother may have already had sex with Lu Qi'er!”

His savage words penetrated through the wind and rain, passing through all her defences, and she broke down, collapsing into his arms. What looked at Huo Beichen was a woman with an empty, lifeless expression. Her red lips were tinged a blueish-purple from the cold as they trembled, before she burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

All these years, she had never behaved so pathetically before. Even when Su Zhe had betrayed her, even when her mother slapped her for the first time, she was still like an arrogant peacock that had no regard for anyone else.

This time, she couldn't continue acting, as her heart was twisting in pain. It was as though someone had stabbed her heart with a piece of glass and was twisting it ruthlessly.

It hurt.

It hurt so much.

Huo Beichen stood awkwardly in the heavy rain while he observed Tang Mo'er's tiny face. It was unsettling to see her so utterly broken. He was used to her arrogant, intelligent side. Also, only just earlier she was so brazen when she made a ruckus at the engagement ceremony and proposed to his second brother, even asking for breakup sex. This was the first time he had seen her cry.

He didn't know what was going on and could only pull her into his embrace and pat her silky hair as he did his best to comfort her. ”Okay, stop crying. You women are so troublesome, all of you. Always crying and whining.”

He hated it when women cried, no woman had dared to cry in front of him and he didn't know how to comfort them when they did. All he had cared for was to have sex with them.
