Su Yunbai calmly withdrew her gaze.

She stood up and said to Zheng Ruocheng, "You have a good rest. I'm leaving first."

Huo Qinian was still standing at the door half leaning against the wall, just blocking Su Yunbai's way.

Su Yunbai stood in front of him. One second, two seconds, three seconds... She finally raised her head, and her clear eyes fell on Huo Qinian, very calm and distant.

It was like looking at a stranger.

Does a person's eyes have temperature? It should not. But now, Huo Qinian clearly felt that there was a cool feeling that passed through his skin and went straight into his heart.

Huo Qinian pressed down the corners of his lips.

He looked straight at Su Yunbai, stood up slowly, and said, "I'll take you there."

Su Yunbai said, "No, I know the way."

She walked past Huo Qinian and walked out, but she could always feel a pair of eyes following her closely.

Soon, clear footsteps came from behind her - the kind of footsteps she was very familiar with.

Su Yunbai frowned slightly, and her steps became faster.

The footsteps behind her followed her like a shadow. She sped up, and the frequency of the footsteps seemed to be faster, but still very steady, with a calmness that belonged only to Huo Qinian.

Su Yunbai paused.

The footsteps also paused, but soon sounded again, and walked to her side.

It gets dark later in the summer, and the evening light is spreading freely from the windows on one side of the corridor into the interior. Huo Qinian walked to Su Yunbai's side, blocking most of the light coming from outside. As a result, his shadow seemed to have self-awareness and wrapped around Su Yunbai recklessly.

But this wrapping only lasted for a moment. Soon, its owner walked forward tactfully and made way for the light.

Without waiting for Su Yunbai to ask, the owner of the shadow spoke himself, his voice was low but very gentle: "I'll take you."

He walked in front, as if he was really afraid that she didn't know the way.

Su Yunbai was too lazy to argue with Huo Qinian about this, so she followed him and walked towards the elevator.

There are four elevators in this building, two opposite each other, and the algorithms are related to each other. Huo Qinian pressed the down button between two elevators. On the small window of the elevator, a downward arrow immediately slid, indicating that the elevator would go down from the 32nd floor.

This is the 13th floor.

Su Yunbai stared at the number "32", watching it slowly jump to 31, 30... and then stop moving - someone was using this elevator.

The time waiting for the elevator was suddenly extended.

The metal elevator door was smooth and shiny, vaguely reflecting two shadows waiting in front of the elevator, one taller and one shorter. The reflections were blurry and the details could not be seen clearly, but Su Yunbai clearly felt that the eyes of the person behind her were always on her.

Does this person still have the most basic courtesy?

Su Yunbai felt that time was a bit unbearable.

At this moment, the person behind her suddenly spoke up: "Why isn't what happened between us a valuable case?"

- Obviously, he had heard everything she said to Zheng Ruocheng just now.

Su Yunbai tried to hold back, but couldn't help it: "Mr. Huo, do you like to eavesdrop on other people's business so much?"

Huo Qinian didn't seem to feel that he was disliked at all, and continued to ask himself: "Is it because you value the beginning of this relationship more? You think I am using you... So, don't you think the relationship between us meets the proposition of 'love' and 'family background'?

"But Yunbai, things don't work that way.

"I'm not trying to defend myself, but my education and experience have taught me that the important thing is the result and process, never the beginning.

"There are many ways to start a story. It's not necessary to make it clear from the beginning to be sincere... People's hearts are not immutable. You can't deny everything that happens later because of an imperfect beginning."

What's more, the beginning between them may not be imperfect. Things in the world can only develop after they have intersections.

Su Yunbai finally agreed to pay attention to him, but his words were sharp, "Of course there can be many beginnings. But Huo Qinian, is it just an imperfect beginning between us?

"Do you want me to remind you that we not only had an imperfect beginning, but also an imperfect and even embarrassing process, so there is an ugly result... Have you forgotten all this?"

"I haven't forgotten. You shouldn't forget either. So, you should at least give yourself a chance to get revenge." He said.

Su Yunbai didn't even react to the meaning of this for a moment, and couldn't help turning to look at him.

Huo Qinian said: "People always have to be responsible for what they have done and the mistakes they have made. Although things can't be calculated so simply, if this can make you vent your anger, you can get revenge.

"Yunbai, you have been offended all these years, but you just walked away without getting revenge... Don't you feel cheated?"

He said seriously.

Su Yunbai just felt incredible: "Huo Qinian, what do you think of feelings? Are you playing house? You hit me and I will hit you back?" She asked him, "Do you know what you are saying?"

Huo Qinian said, "I know. I know I did something wrong and I am trying to make amends. I am... asking for your forgiveness."

Su Yunbai was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "Why do you want to ask for my forgiveness? Is it because you realize you did something wrong and you feel guilty?"

"Why don't you be bolder?" Huo Qinian looked at her, "Everything I did has only one purpose, to let the grudges go to the past...

" Yunbai, let's stand on a more equal position and start over. Okay?"

This time, Su Yunbai was stunned for a longer time.

But it was only a little longer. She quickly came to her senses and smiled coldly, "It seems that I am quite successful as Mrs. Huo. President Huo misses me very much."

"Not Mrs. Huo." Huo Qinian said, "I am my wife. Yunbai, look at me, I am serious - let's restart this relationship, okay?"

He stared at Su Yunbai closely, with a cautious look that he himself did not notice.

He even held his breath subconsciously, waiting for Su Yunbai's answer.

Su Yunbai closed his eyes, then opened them again, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression, "Huo Qinian, are you telling me that there is still love between us?"

Huo Qinian pursed his lips.

He thought this question would make him very embarrassed, but the fact was that he blurted out the answer without any psychological preparation: "Yes."

Su Yunbai looked at him and said word by word, "I don't believe it."

I don't believe it?

Huo Qinian was stunned.

He never thought it would be this answer.

Su Yunbai took a deep breath, "Huo Qinian, even if you count that one month, we have been divorced for less than three months. In three months, you told me that there was love between you and me...

"Then were the past three years just a joke?

"Is it that your love comes too easily and too cheap, or do you take me for a fool?"

Huo Qinian's face was expressionless, and he just looked at Su Yunbai steadily.

Su Yunbai continued: "I believe you really want to redeem the relationship, but Huo Qinian, please ask yourself, why do you want to redeem the relationship?

" "Instead of making me believe that you are doing this out of...'love'" when she said this word, her expression was sarcastic again, "you might as well tell me directly that you are unwilling to give up.

"You were not willing to be divorced and blamed. You were not willing to accept my lack of regrets and unwillingness to redeem the relationship. You were not used to my being so 'unrestrained', so you felt unbalanced.

"Of course, you may still have a trace of guilt... so, you started what you thought was 'compensation',"

Su Yunbai said with a sarcastic smile, "First it was Liu Kexin, then Jin Zhi, and then Madam Zhou. In the future there may be more people and more things..."

"This is your sincerity, this is your 'adaptability'.

" "Huo Qinian, you are not actually compensating me, you are compensating yourself.

"You finally realized that you were deceived, fooled, and sorry... You have to do something to achieve emotional self-satisfaction, to make yourself "righteous" again, and get rid of the emotional burden.

"That's good, I don't object.

"But Huo Qinian, what basis do you have to ask me to cooperate with you?

"You are willing to make amends, willing to compensate... It's up to you, but please take into account one thing: please only be self-satisfied in your own world and don't disturb others.

"If I really want the so-called justice and fairness, I will find it myself, and I don't need you to give it to me!"

The elevator finally came.

Su Yunbai stepped into the elevator car and pressed the close button directly.

The elevator door closed quickly. The last thing Huo Qinian could see was Su Yunbai's cold eyes, so calm and almost inhuman.

Huo Qinian had never been misunderstood like this before.

He was angry and decided not to ask for trouble anymore: as Su Yunbai wished, he would not "disturb" her anymore.

He went to work and got off work as usual, and was sober as his boss Huo, still decisive and shrewd.

Without her, Su Yunbai, he was still himself.

One night, Huo Qinian suddenly woke up from his dream. He couldn't remember what he dreamed about. When he woke up, he only heard the sound of rain outside the window, and the sound of drums hitting the glass - he was awakened by such rain. Huo Qinian got up to close

the window.

The rain was falling heavily, and fine raindrops drifted onto Huo Qinian's face through the screen, feeling cool.

It was pitch black outside the window, and only the passage between the courtyard and the gate was still lit, casting bright clusters of light in the night. These clusters of light were refracted by the rain mist, spreading a shallow, hazy halo. In a trance, it looked like someone was standing under the lamp holding an umbrella, ready to welcome someone who was coming home late.

Huo Qinian suddenly felt palpitations.

He vaguely felt that such a scene was familiar.

It seemed to be a rainy night like this, but the rain was not that heavy. It seemed to be Su Yunbai's birthday that day, and he had promised her to come back early to have dinner together. But before leaving work, he was suddenly tripped up by a document. By the time he finished his work, it was already past dinner time.

He felt a little guilty for breaking the appointment, and urged the driver to drive faster all the way. The car stopped at the gate first, and the driver suggested to drive to the underground garage. He was impatient and pushed open the door and got out.

The rain was not heavy, but the rain hitting his face was still very annoying. Huo Qinian took two quick steps and came to the pavilion at the gate. From his position, he could see the courtyard and the main entrance at a glance.

One of the street lights in the courtyard was not lit for some reason. There were two rows of lights on, but only one was dark, which was very obvious. Huo Qinian looked twice more, and suddenly saw a hazy light coming from the other end of the courtyard through the rain mist.

It was Su Yunbai. She came out in a hurry, carrying a big black umbrella, casually wearing a coat, and walking hurriedly. Her slippers stepped on the stone slabs in the courtyard, making a clacking sound, which gave off a noisy and lively feeling.

The clacking sound came from far away and got closer. Soon, the person under the umbrella raised the umbrella up, revealing a face with some emotion, "Why don't you know how to play with an umbrella?"

Huo Qinian looked at her, and somehow he suddenly remembered something that was not very kind: he forgot to bring her a birthday present.

He thought so, and he said so.

Su Yunbai was stunned when she heard this, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and the feeling of loss only stayed on her face for a moment, and soon disappeared.

She said, "It's okay. The weather is bad today. Let's go back and change clothes."

Huo Qinian didn't get wet in the rain on the way from the pavilion to the courtyard.

He promised Su Yunbai, "I'll give you a gift tomorrow."

How did she reply at that time?

She said, "No need, let's do it together on the next birthday."

The next birthday...

Huo Qinian, who was standing by the window, suddenly woke up - this time.

Speaking of which, her birthday is coming soon, right?

A real man should keep his word.

He should return the gift he owes this time - it has nothing to do with whether it can be redeemed or not, he just needs to keep his word.

If she returns the favor to him at that time, he will be right. When

Huo Qinian thought of this, his eyes suddenly changed.
