C95 (1/2)
Huo Yanshen retracted his hand, and turned to get off the carriage.
Su Nuan looked at his leaving back woodenly. Suddenly, he leaned on the steering wheel and bumped into his own head a few times.
Her mind was truly in a mess. No matter how she tried to control herself, it was useless.
She should have said yes when he said he was going to drive.
Su Nuan sniffed, then forced himself out of the car, wanting to face the accident himself.
The moment she got off the car, she saw Huo Yanshen conversing with a car owner. He, who had always been noble and cold, patiently apologized, explained, and made reparations.
Just then, Huo Yanshen turned around and saw Su Nuan standing beside the carriage.
He walked toward her, his cold lips curving slightly, then grabbed her wrist and started walking toward the sidewalk.
After the two of them reached a safe location, Huo Yanshen dialed Ruan Yao's number.
Su Nuan did not hear what he said clearly, her ears were still buzzing.
After Huo Yanshen finished making the call, his gaze landed on her, ”Let Ruan Yao handle this matter.”
”What about us?”
”After the car arrives, I'll take you to the hospital for a thorough check-up.”
”But, I don't have any problems with that. Instead, it's you who got injured.” Su Nuan looked at his reddened arm, and his eyes turned slightly sour.
”I'm fine.”
”I'm fine too. I just want to go home.”
Huo Yanshen was quiet for a few seconds, then nodded: ”Ok, let's go home.”
After about 10 minutes, the insurance company's people arrived with Ruan Yao. The driver of Tianyuan drove Huo Yanshen's luxurious car over.
Su Nuan carried Su Nuan to the front passenger seat. In the entire process, she felt her mind go blank, even losing her most basic thoughts.
On the way back, Huo Yanshen didn't ask anything.
When they were almost at the residential area, Su Nuan called out in a hoarse voice, ”Huo Yanshen.”
”Hmm?”
”Would you lie to me?”
Huo Yanshen's heart suddenly froze, and her thin, cold lips tightened into a straight line.
”I want to know if you're lying to me.”
”What would happen to you if I lied to you?” Huo Yanshen didn't answer, he only asked a question in reply.
Su Nuan looked eagerly at Huo Yanshen, ”I may not forgive you because I have not gone, and have lost too many memories. Therefore, I do not wish for lies to still exist within the only memories I have.”
Huo Yanshen's heart felt as though it was being twisted by a knife, his eyes were fixated at the road ahead, his ice-cold lips barely uttered two words, ”I don't.”
”No?” Su Nuan pursed his lips, turned and looked out the window, raising his head slightly, not wanting to see the cheap stuff fall out of his eye sockets.
”No way!”
As the car drove into the small district, Su Nuan pushed open the car door and got off.
She could deduce from the conversation between Huo Yanshen and Shen Sichun that Xu Ruqian had told her past, but Huo Yanshen had not told her the truth.
Thinking about it this way, Huo Yanshen indeed did not lie to her, he just was not willing to speak of her past.
The one who had actually deceived her was Shen Sichun, and the first time they met, Shen Sichun had recognized her. After that, he had even followed her wholeheartedly, but why was Shen Sichun unwilling to tell her that what had happened in the past?
Seeing Su Nuan standing dumbly next to the carriage, Huo Yanshen who had just gotten out of it, walked over in a few steps and pulled her into his embrace, patiently helping her get off the horse carriage.
Su Nuan's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not push him away.
In his embrace, she slowly calmed down, ”I'm fine now, you were the good thing you were here when the accident happened. Huo Yanshen, thank you.”
The few words ”Fortunately you're here” heavily smashed into Huo Yanshen's heart.
”It's good that you're fine. If you want to talk to me, I'll always be on the other side. Come find me anytime.”
”Alright.”
Huo Yanshen could feel that her emotions were turning for the better, so he let her go and walked towards the stairs.
The two of them returned home, He Fei took his leave. Huo Yanshen did not stay for long, and brought Two Small Ones to his house to play, planning to leave the space for Su Nuan.
Su Nuan sat on the sofa, touching the bracelet on his wrist in a daze.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should call Shen Sichun, Shen Sichun called her first.
”Su Nuan, are you home?”
”Yes.”
”It's like this. There's a problem with the bracelet I gave you. For safety's sake, take it off and place it inside. When I get back on Friday, I'll give you a new chain. Sorry.”
”What kind of questions?”
”It was from the duty-free shop that I was contacted. They said that there were some defects in this batch of products. I didn't pay any attention to them. Anyway, just listen to me.”
Su Nuan forced himself to hold back the urge to ask everything, ”Alright, I understand.”
”You're the darling of the big BOSS Huo right now. If something goes wrong with the bracelet I gave you, I won't be able to take responsibility for it.”
”Sichun, I have something to attend to, so I'll be hanging up first.”
”Ah?” ”Alright …”
Su Nuan did not even say goodbye before he hung up the phone.
She was afraid that if she kept talking, she really wouldn't be able to hold back.
