Qian after making sure Xiao Jiang Sheng had eaten her fill. But he's quite adept at using wit and strategy, leaving Mr. Qian flustered.But she dared not offend Jiang Lan.After the dinner party was ove...Huo Xi's eyes were emptier than the night itself.
She gazed at Zhang Chongguang, her body still as a statue. After a moment, she lowered her eyes to the laptop screen, where images of couples kissing overlapped with the man in front of her.
Huoxi thought: If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that when he was holding another woman, he was also so passionate and fiery. His eyes were also so blazing, as if they could burn the woman.
She remembered all of it.
Deeply etched in her mind, if she ever softened her heart, this sickening scene would come back to haunt her.
……
Zhang Chongguang's drooping fingers trembled slightly, and it took him a long time to regain control.
He walked over to her, picked up the notebook from her lap, and said, "Don't look at it!"
He deleted the video, it took him ages as the file was too big. He couldn't delete it all. Zhang Chongguang, seeming unable to bear it any longer, snapped his laptop in half.
Screen, turned off!
Zhang Chongguang picked up the photos scattered on the carpet, one by one.
All of these are photos of him kissing Song Yun.
He had already seen these photos at the Huo Residence, the angles were suggestive... Huo Shaoting slammed the photos into his face and then slapped him several times.
He bore it stoically, for he had no way to refute it.
Even now, looking back, it's still frightening.
He didn't even know himself how his marriage with Hsi had gotten to this point, how he could bear to hurt her so.
With a small crackle, flames flared, and the photograph was consumed.
The firelight cast his face in a sinister light, his voice suppressed: "I... I didn't do anything with her!"
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence in the study.
Until a burning sensation reached his fingertips, Huo Xi finally spoke. She was very calm as she told him, "I've kept it in my heart and mind. I will never forget this! Zhang Chongguang, I'm filing for divorce. With the evidence provided by Miss Song, I think at most six months our marriage will end. The property division remains as before. This villa is where the children are accustomed to living, but if you want it as a marital home... I will move out with the children as soon as possible."
Her tone was ice cold.
Chang Chongguang grew up with her, he knew her temper better than anyone. He took a step forward and slowly squatted in front of her. He wanted to reach out and touch her, to stroke her hair, but the moment his hand touched her, she swatted it away: "Don't touch me!"
Ho Xi's reaction was enormous, almost startling Zhang Chongguang.
He looked at his own hand, a bitter smile on his face. He slowly let it fall. "I don't love her! Never have, not even a flicker of feeling."
"I don't love you, I haven't fallen for you!"
Ho Xi repeated his words, then smiled softly.
"Zhang Chongguang, what you're saying... isn't it a bit late Right now, in the entire city of B, who doesn't know that Song Yun is your woman You've completely trampled on my face, and also on my parents'. When you did all this, did you ever think for even a second about my parents My parents raised you as their own son, you have everything Huo Yunshi has, and even things he doesn't. Is it because you're particularly smart and outstanding No, it's because they genuinely cared for you. But you've walked back down your father's path. When you were with Song Yun doing those disgusting things, did you ever think about Mianmian and Ruieru You didn't!"
"Zhang Chongguang, you are not worthy to be a father!"
"Huoyuns thought is right, you are a white-eyed wolf. You only know that I have Baiqi in my heart and you just want to play with women to take revenge on me, but... if it weren't for Baiqi, back then my life and Mianmian's would be long gone! He died in a foreign land, am I not even allowed the right to visit him once a year"
……
As Huo Xi spoke these words, he too felt a sense of suppression.
She found it amusing.
Zhang Chongguang slowly knelt down, he tried to embrace her, to comfort her.
But Huo Xi wouldn't have it. She resisted his touch, she didn't even want to see him... She looked at him quietly and said, "Zhang Chongguang, get a divorce. I don't love you anymore!"
In the darkness, Zhang Chongguang's body trembled.
Darkness concealed his fear, and besides, Hosea didn't care anymore; she let him go.
Zhang Chongguang refused: "I don't trust it, I'll stay with you!"
When Hsi went back to the bedroom to sleep, he followed her. He shut the door and pressed his shoulder against hers, wanting to kiss her desperately. He tried frantically to stir her passion, to awaken her memories.
Huo Xi was chillingly indifferent.
She looked icy cold: "Zhang Chongguang, can you always be in a good mood whenever you want Can't one Song Yun satisfy you"
Zhang Chongguang's face was as white as paper.
He clenched his fists lightly and asked softly, "How can I make you believe me I didn't have a relationship with her."
Huoxi acted as if he hadn't heard.
She had a little drink, now she just wants to sleep... she really, really wants to sleep. Just one good sleep, and tomorrow everything should be fine, she'll still be her old self.
She lay down on the big bed, curling up, and pulled the blanket over herself.
Zhang Chongguang wanted to step forward, but he knew she was strongly repulsed. So he just curled up on the sofa... He turned off the light and heard her breathing become even, she must have fallen asleep.
In the darkness, his face throbbed painfully, but he didn't care.
Perhaps he was simply too tired, Zhang Chongguang slept until dawn. When he woke up, the morning light shone through the gauze curtains into the bedroom, soft and gentle, especially comfortable. The home was just as it always was, with the familiar scent of Huo Xi's usual body wash still lingering in the air.
This left Zhang Chong feeling dazed.
When he sat up, he stared blankly at everything, unable to tell what was real and what was not.
My face suddenly ached, reminding me of yesterday's reality.
"Ho-si!"
He sprang quickly to his feet from the sofa and hurried downstairs. When he reached the bottom, he thought he would see Huo Xi sitting at the dining table... after all, she was used to having breakfast at home.
But the restaurant is empty.
Seeing him come downstairs, Mrs. Wu pursed her lips and said, "The mistress went out early this morning." After that, she busied herself wiping the table.
Zhang Chongguang didn't mind his wrinkled shirt, he sat down at the table, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, and asked softly, "Have you had breakfast, madam"
Auntie Wu gestured at the newspaper on the table with her chin: "Still eating breakfast You've eaten enough air already!"
Zhang Chongguang looked over.
The front page of the City Morning News is all about scandals, with huge photos splashed across.
The male and female leads are him and Song Yun.
This was a part of Song Yun's scheme to force the emperor's hand. She spent 2 million to buy this headline, but if it helps her get what she wants, then the money will be well worth it.
"Madam Wu said sarcastically, "She has a fox-like charm about her. She's far inferior to the mistress. Are all men attracted to this type"
Zhang Chongguang took a deep puff of his cigarette, glanced at Sister Wu, and she finally shut up.
After a long silence, Zhang Chongguang said softly, "I'm not hungry."
Mrs. Wu thought he was ridiculous. She didn't like him and felt it was a waste of money to keep him around, especially since he made his wife so angry. Wasn't this the whole point of keeping a girl around - to take care of him in his old age Was it all just for show, like smashing bowls and scattering paper
A man's mouth is a liar, she doesn't believe him. onto his neck obediently as he kissed her...After kissing for a long time, Huo Shaoting teased her: "Teacher Wen won't let me in, how can I"He managed to make a simple sentence sound incredibly ambig...
