Chapter 32: Sad Face
Chi Muzhen glanced at him with a half-smile and put the braised pork back into his bowl. "You should eat more. After all, you still have to work every day and it's very hard."
Chi Xuan, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She looked at Huo Yunting with red eyes and said, "Brother Yunting, have you forgotten what you promised me?!"
Huo Yunting's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chi Zhen quickly stepped out to smooth things over, "Mr. Huo, let me toast you."
Huo Yunting did not give him any face. The two of them took a sip of wine, and Chi Zhen said a few more words to change the subject.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious afterwards. After Chi Muzhen finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"I'm done eating."
She turned around to leave, but Huo Yunting grabbed her wrist with such force that she couldn't break free.
"Huo Yunting, what are you doing?"
Chi Muzhen lowered his voice, his tone filled with anger.
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly and said, "Stay with me. I'm almost done eating."
"I'm going for a walk."
"Then I'll go with you."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with impatience, and just as she was about to speak, Chi Zhen spoke.
"Mu Zhen, just sit here with Mr. Huo for a while. He's been drinking a lot and hasn't eaten anything. Pick him some food or something."
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen glanced at Chi Zhen with a half-smile, "Didn't you just arrange for someone to pick up food for him? I think Chi Xuan is doing a pretty good job, so let Chi Xuan do it."
Chi Xuan's expression suddenly changed. She had done this on purpose to disgust Chi Muzhen, but after hearing what Chi Muzhen said, she seemed like a servant.
She stood up and looked at Chi Muzhen with a wronged look on her face, "Sister, I only care about eating for yourself, so I take care of Brother Yunting. If you are unhappy, I won't do it."
Chi Muzhen was a little annoyed by her tea-like appearance, raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Take care of her in bed?!"
Chi Xuan's lips suddenly turned pale, her body trembled and she couldn't utter a word.
“Bang!”
Xu Rou slammed her chopsticks on the table, looked at Chi Muzhen with disgust, and said, "It's obviously you who failed to fulfill your responsibilities as a wife, and you still have the nerve to criticize Xuanxuan?! Besides, Xuanxuan has been close to Mr. Huo since she was a child. Are you jealous even when she picks food for him?!"
Chi Muzhen chuckled and said word by word: "I'm not jealous. She did a good job, so I let her continue."
"you!"
The atmosphere in the restaurant had turned cold. Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Take your time to eat. I'll go back first."
Looking at Chi Muzhen's back, Xu Rou's face turned ashen with anger. "Chi Muzhen, if you dare to step out of this door today, don't ever come back!"
"Xu Rou!"
Chi Zhen glanced at her angrily, his eyes full of anger.
Before Chi Muzhen came today, he told Xu Rou to control her emotions, but he didn't expect Xu Rou still couldn't help herself.
If Huo Yunting is angered by this, the Chi family will never have a good outcome!
Huo Yunting glanced at Chi Xuan, who was still crying, with a calm expression and said, "I'll be leaving first. Thank you, Mr. Chi, for your hospitality tonight."
Chi Zhen's face was grim, but he mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Huo... that project I told you about in the study before..."
Huo Yunting's eyes were expressionless. "Chi can bid, but whether or not they can win the project depends entirely on Chi themselves."
Chi Zhen was a little disappointed, but being able to participate in the bidding was already a big step forward. He quickly said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Huo! I'll take you there!"
"Need not!"
As soon as he walked out of the Chi family's old house, Chi Xuan caught up with him.
"Brother Yunting, do you really not like me anymore?"
Huo Yunting turned around and looked at her. Chi Xuan's eyes were swollen from crying, and her eyes were filled with sadness when she looked at him.
Once upon a time, these eyes were full of sunshine.
"Xuanxuan, it's windy outside, you should go back."
Seeing Huo Yunting about to leave, Chi Xuan suddenly hugged him from behind and said with a sob, "No, if you don't give me an answer today, I won't let you go!"
Huo Yunting frowned, a trace of irritation welling up in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanxuan, let go!"
"don't want!"
Chi Xuan shook her head, her voice tinged with tears, "Have you forgotten what you promised me when we were eighteen at the resort?"
Huo Yunting's tall figure froze for a moment, and then a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.
He pulled Chi Xuan's hand away, looked back at her, and spoke word by word: "Xuan Xuan, I have never forgotten."
So he would try his best to satisfy her whatever she wanted, and even though he knew that she had hurt Chi Muzhen, he did not blame her.
"If you haven't forgotten, why are you still reluctant to divorce Chi Muzhen?"
Huo Yunting didn't say anything. He didn't know why, but whenever he thought about divorcing Chi Muzhen, he felt a resistance in his heart.
Chi Xuan blinked and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Brother Yun Ting, you...are in love with Chi Muzhen, right?"
Huo Yunting's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he frowned, "Xuanxuan, don't think too much. I can't fall in love with her."
"Since you don't love her, why don't you want to divorce? If you want to repay her for taking care of you for the past two years, there are many other ways. There's no need to sacrifice your whole life. I can also repay her with you!
As long as she can return you to me, I'm willing to go through fire and water!"
Meeting Chi Xuan's pleading gaze, Huo Yunting's throat felt dry. After a long moment, he slowly said, "Xuan Xuan, let me think about it."
Chi Xuan also knew that she couldn't push too hard, so she nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
After Huo Yunting left, Chi Xuan wiped her tears, hatred surging in her eyes.
It seems that the only way to be with Huo Yunting again is to make Chi Muzhen disappear completely!
Not long after the car left the Chi family, Chi Muzhen appeared.
She walked down the mountain slowly, her back slender and straight, just like her character, rather broken than yielded.
Huo Yunting couldn't help but recall the question Chi Xuan had asked him just now at the door of the Chi family.
Does he love Chi Muzhen?
The answer is no, otherwise he would not have stood idly by when she was bullied by the Chi family, and he would not have let Chi Xuan go when Chi Xuan was plotting against her behind her back.
Perhaps it was because Chi Muzhen had too little presence in the past, so every time he returned to the villa, she was always submissive. But now, Chi Muzhen made him feel like she was escaping from his control.
After figuring this out, I also found the reason why he had been acting abnormally during this period.
He was just curious about Chi Muzhen, and it had nothing to do with love.
The black Maybach stopped beside Chi Muzhen, and the rear window rolled down, revealing Huo Yunting's cold face.
“Get in the car!”
Chi Muzhen looked at him indifferently, "No need, I've already contacted a friend to pick me up."
Huo Yunting sneered, "Chi Muzhen, are you angry with me now? Because I didn't help you at the Chi family just now?"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "If so, would you care?"
"Won't!"
"Since I won't, whether I'm angry or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold, "Chi Muzhen, my patience has its limits!"
Chi Muzhen's smile deepened a little, and she spoke word by word, "What a coincidence! My patience is limited. Mr. Huo, I don't care who you like, but you'd better take good care of her. If she plots against me again, believe it or not, even you can't protect her!"
Huo Yunting's pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"I don't think I need to be more blunt about my grandfather's birthday party!"
The moment the words fell, a Lamborghini stopped in front of the black Maybach.
The next second, Shi Yiheng got out of the car and walked towards Chi Muzhen step by step.
