Chapter 80 I Don't Want to Be Loved by Anyone Other Than Jiang Ruan
"Unhappy?" Huo Zhizhou noticed her change in mood.
Su Anran remained silent.
He previously said that as long as it wasn't directed at Jiang Ruan, he would accept his own scheming nature. Does that also mean he can accept being jealous?
Huo Zhizhou calmly withdrew his hand from hers and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I'm afraid you'll be upset if I tell you I'm unhappy." Su Anran mustered her courage, her voice tinged with grievance. "I understand you want to stay with Sui Sui with Ruan Ruan, but..."
"But possessiveness is getting the better of her, and she doesn't want me to go." Huo Zhizhou saw through her thoughts. "Is that so?"
Su Anran bit her lip: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou just kept looking at her.
“You clearly said that I am the most important person to you.” With the first sentence in mind, the second sentence was easier to say. “But now that you keep putting me down for them, it makes me sad too.”
"Anran," Huo Zhizhou said, straightening his voice.
The serious tone gave Su Anran a sudden bad feeling.
The next second.
Huo Zhizhou blurted out, "You should know better than anyone why I said those things."
Su Anran froze, her breath catching in her throat for a moment.
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so I shouldn't be saying these things." Huo Zhizhou smoothed the hair off her shoulder, his tone still calm, "But you're too deeply involved."
"No..." Su Anran suddenly panicked.
"If we don't stop it, you and I both know what the consequences will be." Huo Zhizhou's movements were still gentle, but his words were sharp and hurtful. "You should know that I don't want to be loved by anyone except Jiang Ruan."
In short.
This shattered Su Anran's heart into pieces.
She wanted to explain, but found that no words could adequately address what had just happened.
She thought he asked that question because he understood her and wanted to show her special treatment and make an exception for her, but now she realizes that it was just a trick to get her to reveal her true feelings.
And she actually fell for it.
"I'm grateful to you, and I really want to take good care of you." Huo Zhizhou felt a drop of water on the back of his hand; he knew it was her tear. "I'll give you everything I promised you."
"No need to say anything more." Su Anran gave a bitter smile.
Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more.
From the moment her tears fell on his hand, he knew that he would not care about anyone else's feelings except for Jiang Ruan. He would feel sorry for Jiang Ruan when she cried and would try to comfort her.
He felt no emotion whatsoever when Su Anran cried. He knew that it was inhuman to treat his savior with such a mindset, but that was just how he was.
"Will you stop being nice to me in the future?" Su Anran cried for a while before raising her head and looking at him with red eyes.
"I will give you what I promise you," Huo Zhizhou said gently. "What I haven't promised, I can't give you."
Su Anran understood what he meant.
At this moment, she realized how foolish it was to fantasize about being loved by him.
This man is heartless.
"Get some rest." Huo Zhizhou saw that she didn't speak and knew she understood. "Go out with your friends tomorrow, I'll pay for everything."
Su Anran: "Okay."
This was the first time she hadn't said goodnight to him.
While resting in bed, she realized how foolish she had been to ask him to show her more affection and not say anything that would upset her, citing her physical discomfort as an excuse.
The time I hinted that he should do something with me, his comment, "The most important thing right now is to take good care of your health," was actually a reminder.
Even so, he still gave her the answers she wanted when she asked him the following questions.
At that time, she thought that with time, she would eventually hold a special place in his heart. Now she realizes that no matter how much time passes, no matter how gentle and indulgent he is towards her, there will never be a place for her in his heart.
Can……
It's really hard not to like someone like Huo Zhizhou.
Even though he knew that her request would damage his relationship with Jiang Ruan, he still kept his promise.

The next morning.
Jiang Ruan had just gotten up to make breakfast when she saw Huo Zhizhou had already arrived. He was wearing a rather casual dark outfit, unusually not wearing a suit, and was carrying a steaming hot breakfast in his left hand.
"Sui Sui hasn't gotten up yet?" Huo Zhizhou asked naturally as he placed breakfast on the table.
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Huo Zhizhou strolled inside.
Jiang Ruan called out to him, "What are you doing?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Wake him up."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Jiang Ruan felt that Huo Zhizhou hadn't come to celebrate the holiday with her, but rather to help her through a disaster: "The amusement park hasn't even opened yet. He finally has a holiday, let him sleep in a little longer."
"I'll listen to you." Huo Zhizhou didn't go any further inside.
He was already tall, and standing in the room made the room seem exceptionally small.
For a fleeting moment.
Jiang Ruan wanted to kick the person out.
"Go next door first." That's what I thought and what I did. "I'll call you over when Sui Sui wakes up."
Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on her, his dark eyes holding a hint of scrutiny.
Jiang Ruan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her brows furrowed with a hint of wariness: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you afraid?" Though it was a question, his expression was full of certainty.
Jiang Ruan didn't want to talk to him.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
The next moment, her wrist was covered by warmth. Huo Zhizhou's large hand pulled her into his arms before she could speak: "Come here."
Jiang Ruan's body bumped into his chest, and the familiar scent enveloped her. The pleasant and clean fragrance filled her nostrils, giving her a momentary sense of déjà vu, as if she had returned to the past.
"Let go." She reached out and pushed him away.
"You can speak louder." Huo Zhizhou felt the softness of the person in his arms, and his heart was soothed. "It would be best to wake Sui Sui up."
Jiang Ruan glared at him angrily. Huo Zhizhou bent down and buried his head in her shoulder. As she struggled, he said in a deep voice, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Jiang Ruan's emotions surged up instantly.
I was both angry and aggrieved.
What do you take her for?
She didn't know where the strength came from, but she pushed him away with both hands, immediately creating a half-step distance between them: "Don't touch me."
The emotions in Huo Zhizhou's eyes had faded. After talking with Su Anran last night, he had a dream in which Jiang Ruan left him, and he tried everything he could to keep her.
The emptiness he felt upon waking made him eager to see her.
That's why we arrived so early.
"It seems that not only has his temper worsened recently, but his strength has also increased considerably." Huo Zhizhou pulled out a chair and sat down, looking up at the person who resembled a little ferocious beast. "Is he being raised like a wild man?"
Jiang Ruan grabbed a cup from the side and made a move to smash it down on him.
Huo Zhizhou pointed to his shoulder: "Smash here, it's easy to vent your anger, and the damage is minimal."
"You're the one who went to great lengths to make things difficult for me, and you're the one pretending nothing happened here." Jiang Ruan put down her cup, truly unable to understand him. "What exactly do you want?"
