Chapter 90 No one could make him love so deeply.
Huo Zhizhou put away his phone and went back to the living room. Jiang Ruan was telling Sui Sui about the next few days, emphasizing again and again that she should call him if anything happened, and that she would come back to be with him no matter how busy she was, as long as he needed her.
Sui Sui nodded her little head and said okay.
As they chatted, Sui Sui glanced at Huo Zhizhou and asked her mother, "Will Daddy go?"
Jiang Ruan looked up and her gaze met Huo Zhizhou's.
He won't go unless something unexpected happens.
He might have gone if Su Anran hadn't been in a car accident, but now that she's in the hospital, he's so worried about her that he couldn't just leave her there alone and go to make things difficult for her.
“Dad’s not going.” Huo Zhizhou walked over and stood in front of him. “That’s your mom’s department activity. If I go, they won’t feel comfortable having fun.”
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Sui Sui pursed her lips and consciously didn't respond.
Huo Zhizhou rubbed his head and said, "I have to go now. Get some rest tonight."
Sui Sui nodded her little head.
Jiang Ruan didn't even glance at him.
"You too, don't sacrifice your health for a few bucks." Huo Zhizhou withdrew his hand from rubbing Sui Sui's forehead and gently touched it with his finger. As if knowing this would displease her, he went next door to change clothes after poking her.
Jiang Ruan was about to glare at him, but she stopped abruptly because of his departure.
These past two days have made Sui Sui feel like she's back to the time when her parents were still married.
The moment Huo Zhizhou closed the door, Sui Sui hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mommy."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Sui Sui: "Can I ask you a question?"
Jiang Ruan spoke to him patiently and gently: "Go ahead."
"Do you still love your dad?" Sui Sui asked, her round eyes full of seriousness.
Jiang Ruan paused.
Do you like it?
She didn't know either.
All she knew was that she hated his betrayal and couldn't accept his actions and words, but five years of liking and caring wouldn't be exhausted so quickly, especially considering the unwavering hug he gave her yesterday when she lost control of her emotions.
She knew it was ironic, but in that state, she needed an irresistible hug, and he just happened to provide that.
She hated Huo Zhizhou, but she also loved him.
"If Dad asks you to make up now, would you go back to him?" Seeing the troubled look on her face, Sui Sui knew that she couldn't answer that question.
Jiang Ruan answered quickly: "No."
She couldn't accept that he had slept with Su Anran, nor could she accept his desire to have affairs while maintaining a stable home life.
"Mommy," Sui Sui said softly.
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
Sui Sui kissed her on the cheek, her little face beaming with love: "I love you."
Jiang Ruan hugged him gently: "Mommy loves you too."
Huo Zhizhou changed his clothes and was about to knock on the door when he heard their conversation. He then withdrew his hand and left, not wanting to disturb the warm moment between the mother and son.
He arrived at the hospital after 8 p.m., and Assistant Jiang felt a pang of worry upon seeing him: "BOSS."
"Okay." Huo Zhizhou responded and walked towards the ward.
Assistant Jiang stopped him.
Huo Zhizhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is there something you need?"
After struggling for a while, Assistant Jiang finally spoke his mind, risking being fired: "Why don't you re-investigate what happened back then? Forgive my bluntness, but I don't think Miss Su has the kind heart to sacrifice herself to save others."
Based on our interaction over the past half day, he appears to be a selfish, scheming person.
How could someone like that possibly save the BOSS?
"I don't want to hear that a second time." Huo Zhizhou turned his head, his eyes turning colder.
Jiang's Special Assistant: "BOSS!"
With a single glance from Huo Zhizhou, Assistant Jiang swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Su Anran overheard their conversation.
Her hands tightened involuntarily, and an unprecedented sense of panic rose in her heart.
She knew very well that the reason Huo Zhizhou believed her back then was not only because she knew about that incident, but also because she had a wound on her leg that was exactly the same as the one he remembered—in the same location and the same length.
The only difference is that Jiang Ruan, who saved him, had her scar removed when she went to college, while she had the doctor replicate an identical scar for her.
What if one day a doctor comes knocking...
The thought of this outcome only intensified her unease.
"Anran!" Liu Xinyu called out to her, raising her voice when she saw that Anran was lost in thought.
Su Anran immediately snapped back to reality: "What's wrong?"
The words fell.
She then saw Huo Zhizhou, who had already entered the ward and was sitting next to her.
He was as mature and composed as ever, which made her unconsciously tighten her grip, and a mix of emotions welled up inside her.
"Assistant Jiang said you haven't eaten all afternoon." Huo Zhizhou spoke to her calmly, as if the previous incident had never happened. "Is it because you have no appetite, or do you not like the food?"
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Su Anran's palms: "Will you always take care of me?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."
The answer should have brought her joy, but it didn't make her happy at all.
This care should have belonged to Jiang Ruan, who was already pampered by him.
She couldn't understand why Jiang Ruan, an ordinary person, could win Huo Zhizhou's favor. Was it because of her pretty face? Or because she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang Group?
“But I don’t want something like what happened last time to happen again,” Huo Zhizhou said, enunciating each word clearly.
Su Anran lowered her head: "No more."
She thought a lot that afternoon and into the evening, and after hearing Assistant Jiang's doubtful remark, she became even more certain of what she wanted.
She not only wanted to win Huo Zhizhou's heart, but also all his property. Only in this way could she escape unscathed when the truth came out and avoid being tormented by Huo Zhizhou's methods.
To achieve all this, you need to find someone to cooperate with.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Su Anran's demeanor changed, and her emotions became more stable. "I'm sorry."
Assistant Jiang: "?"
A thoughtful expression crossed Huo Zhizhou's brow.
Su Anran suppressed her fear and apprehension towards him, and said casually, "Xinyu can stay with me for the next few days. You can go about your business if you have something to do, and just come to see me when you have free time."
"Okay." Huo Zhizhou's thin lips parted slightly.
Su Anran's heart was churning with emotions.
She was certain that if Jiang Ruan said those words, Zhi Zhou would stay and take care of her without hesitation, saying that he wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of her.
After all, that's what he did when Jiang Ruan gave birth. He stayed by her side the whole time, taking care of everything himself. He didn't trust anyone else and didn't think anyone else could take better care of her than him.
This was something someone told her after news spread that she and Huo Zhizhou had spent the night at the Waterside Villa.
That person said that no one could replace Jiang Ruan in Huo Zhizhou's heart, and that no one else could make him love her so deeply.
"Do you still stand by what you said before: if I wanted to deal with other people, you would help me regardless of right or wrong?" Su Anran suddenly spoke, her eyes showing emotions she didn't usually have.
