Chapter 297: Covering One's Ears and Stealing the Bell
As she finished speaking, the carriage fell into a suffocating silence. The coldness emanating from Huo Yunting seemed to be able to freeze people to death.
After a long time, Huo Yunting's low voice sounded.
"Whoever dares to be with you, I will make his family destroyed!"
Chi Muzhen looked indifferent and said slowly: "Huo Yunting, I believe you have such ability in Rongcheng, but what if it is in Beijing?"
Huo Yunting frowned, his eyes full of coldness.
"No matter who he is, if he dares to be with you, I will not let him go!" His eyes were full of sinisterness, and he spoke word by word.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "So, you have to force me to death before you're satisfied?"
"You would rather die than forgive me?"
Chi Muzhen looked at him with a sneer, "You keep apologizing to me, but I've never seen you really change. Every time I say forgiveness, it ends up becoming a knife you stab me with, isn't it?"
The indifference in her eyes made Huo Yunting's heart choke, "Zhenzhen..."
Chi Muzhen interrupted him and said slowly: "What you love most is not me, but yourself, because you have never changed for me."
"I'm just afraid you'll leave me."
"Are you afraid that I'll leave you, so you can hurt me without restraint?"
Facing her questioning, the emotions in Huo Yunting's eyes gradually faded and eventually turned dark.
"I never meant to hurt you."
Chi Muzhen didn't want to argue with him about this topic anymore, and said expressionlessly: "Whatever you say, I'm tired, and I don't want to like you anymore."
After saying that, she opened the car door and left.
Huo Yunting did not stop her, but just watched her back silently.
At this moment, he clearly understood that Chi Muzhen really no longer had any expectations of him.
His heart was overwhelmed by guilt and pain, and his eyes gradually turned red.
He also knew that he had hurt Chi Muzhen, but he couldn't give up.
In the past, he always thought that as long as he loved Chi Muzhen, it was enough. But now he realized that he didn't seem to know how to love someone, and just imposed his own ideas on the other person.
After Chi Muzhen disappeared from his sight, he calmed himself down and asked the driver to start the car and leave.
As soon as Chi Muzhen returned home, she received a call from Shen Tian.
"Zhenzhen, where did you go? Why didn't I see you when I came back after just going out for a walk?"
"I was feeling a little unwell, so I came back first. I forgot to tell you. Sorry."
"What's wrong with you? Do you want me to come and take care of you?"
Chi Muzhen quickly said: "No, I just felt a little dizzy, I'm fine now."
"Okay, then if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, contact me immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen took a shower, went to bed, read a book for a while, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I found that Huo Yunting had sent me a message.
[Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. I was too conceited before. I was always with you with my own self-righteous ideas and imposed my own ideas on you. I won't do that again. I will pursue you again and make changes for you until you forgive me.]
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and looked for a while, then deleted the message expressionlessly.
She knew Huo Yunting too well. He was used to being domineering and would never change.
After washing up and having breakfast, I went to the company. The morning was uneventful.
Near noon, Xu Qing knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Chi, Mr. Qi wants to have lunch with you."
Chi Muzhen thought about it and realized that she had nothing to do at noon, so she nodded and said, "Okay, send me the location later."
At 12:30 noon, Chi Muzhen walked into a western restaurant near MY and saw Qi Yunzhe already waiting for her at the seat. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Qi Yunzhe chose a restaurant close to MY, but she was still late.
"Sorry, I had a sudden meeting that just ended. You must have been waiting for a long time, right?" Chi Muzhen said with a guilty look on her face as she sat down opposite Qi Yunzhe.
Qi Yunzhe smiled and poured her a glass of water. "It's okay. I just got here not long ago."
"Mr. Qi, you suddenly asked me to have dinner with you. Is there any problem with the cooperation?"
Qi Yunzhe was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Is it only work that I can talk to you about?"
Chi Muzhen picked up the water cup and took a sip, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Are you here for personal matters today?"
Qi Yunzhe nodded, his eyes serious as he said, "I want to pursue you."
"puff!"
Chi Muzhen spat out a mouthful of water.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Qi Yunzhe, "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
What Qi Yunzhe said was really too shocking. She was Huo Yunting's ex-wife, and Qi Yunzhe was Huo Yunting's brother. To Chi Muzhen, the fact that he wanted to pursue her seemed like a fairy tale.
Qi Yunzhe took the tissue, wiped the water off his face, then looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "I'm telling the truth."
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Mr. Qi, you and Mr. Huo are brothers, so you have never been within my range of choice for a partner."
During the month that Qi Yunzhe took care of her in Country D, she had already noticed Qi Yunzhe's feelings for her. Neither of them revealed his feelings at the time, but she didn't expect Qi Yunzhe to suddenly confess to her now.
"Just because I'm Yun Ting's brother, you reject me. Isn't that too unfair to me?"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a while, then looked at Qi Yunzhe and said word by word: "Mr. Qi, thank you for liking me, but I am not worthy of you. You will meet a better woman."
"I don't want to meet anyone better. In my eyes, you are the best."
His eyes were sincere, filled with undisguised love as he looked at her.
Chi Muzhen's fingers gripping the cup slowly tightened. After a moment of silence, she looked at Qi Yunzhe and asked, "What do you like about me?"
Qi Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask this question.
"I don't know. I used to just see you taking care of Yun Ting so attentively, and I wanted to marry someone like you in the future. But gradually, my eyes were unconsciously drawn to you, but I was also tormented by the fact that you were Yun Ting's wife. Later, I visited Yun Ting frequently, but in fact, I just wanted to see you..."
“That’s enough!”
Chi Muzhen's eyes were cold. "Mr. Qi, there are many women in Rongcheng who are prettier and gentler than me. You should like someone else! I won't fall in love with you!"
After saying that, Chi Muzhen stood up and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Huo Yunting walking towards them with a cold expression.
She frowned unconsciously and was about to speak, but Huo Yunting walked past her and went straight to Qi Yunzhe and punched him.
The two men soon started fighting in the restaurant, scaring everyone in the restaurant so much that they quickly dropped their chopsticks and ran out of the restaurant, fearing that they would be affected.
Chi Muzhen watched the two fight coldly, then turned around and left.
As for trying to stop the fight, she wasn't in the mood and it had nothing to do with her.
As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Huo Yunting caught up with him.
"Zhenzhen, don't go!"
