Chapter 369: Silence
When Huo Yunting came out of the shower, Xiao Muzhen had already gone to bed and left a lamp on for him at the bedside.
He wiped his hair, tiptoed to the bed, and turned off the bedside lamp.
Xiao Muzhen originally thought that he would not be able to sleep tonight, but miraculously he fell asleep very quickly.
The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she was suddenly shocked when she saw the enlarged handsome face in front of her.
She pushed Huo Yunting away and quickly lowered her head. Seeing that her pajamas were still on her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately glared at Huo Yunting.
"Are you going too far?! You clearly said you wouldn't touch me if I didn't want to!"
Huo Yunting was still asleep. After being pushed awake by her, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Zhenzhen, it seems like I didn't touch you, but you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms."
Seeing the meaningful look in his eyes, Xiao Muzhen was about to refute, but suddenly found that she was lying on the side where he slept.
Could it be that after she fell asleep last night, she mistook Huo Yunting for her own human-shaped pillow?!
She did have the habit of sleeping with a pillow at home, but it was too late last night, so she didn't think of this habit.
Suddenly, her face turned red as if it was on fire, and her face was embarrassed and unnatural.
"I'm sorry, but you're also at fault. Since you noticed I turned around, you should have pushed me away instead of letting me do whatever I wanted to you."
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows, "But, I really like you treating me like this."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Xiao Muzhen finally couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore. She got out of bed and said, "I'll go wash up first!"
After washing up, Xiao Muzhen walked out of the bathroom without even looking at Huo Yunting. He took the clothes he was going to wear today, went to the cloakroom to change, and left.
Looking at her fleeing back, Huo Yunting couldn't help but smile. It seemed that she still had feelings for him, otherwise her first reaction today would not be shyness, but disgust.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunting's mood became very good.
On the way to the company, Xiao Muzhen thought of the embarrassment she had made this morning. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sent a message to Huo Yunting, wanting to discuss with him that they should sleep in separate beds in the future, and she could sleep on the floor.
However, Huo Yunting didn't reply to her all morning. It was unclear whether he didn't see it or was deliberately not replying.
Xiao Muzhen was a little uneasy all day because of this incident, and his drawing efficiency was not as high as before.
Half an hour before getting off work, Xiao Muzhen finally received a reply from Huo Yunting.
[Sorry, I was in a meeting today and didn't see the message. I don't think we need to sleep separately. It's normal for couples to cuddle. But if you really mind, I will push you away when I see you sleeping over here next time.]
Xiao Muzhen stared at the message for a while, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
It seems that Huo Yunting will not agree to sleep in separate beds. Thinking that she may see Huo Yunting's enlarged face every day when she wakes up in the next three months, she feels that life is bleak.
After finally getting off work, Xiao Muzhen just went downstairs and saw Huo Yunting's car parked on the side of the road.
Ke Ning pushed open the passenger door and walked quickly towards her, saying with a smile, "Ms. Xiao, Mr. Huo sent me to pick you up for dinner."
Xiao Muzhen didn't want to go, but thinking of the contract they had signed, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Huo Yunting was discussing business near the booked restaurant, and came straight over after finishing the discussion. The two of them happened to meet at the restaurant door.
"Mr. Huo, we don't need to go out to eat. We can hire a nanny to cook at home."
Huo Yunting looked down at her and asked, "What did you call me just now?"
Seeing the displeasure in his eyes, Xiao Muzhen realized that he was angry and unconsciously changed his words, "Yun Ting..."
"Well, we're out for dinner today, firstly to celebrate us living together again, and secondly because I have something I want to tell you."
"All right."
The two walked into the restaurant and ordered their food. Huo Yunting looked at her seriously and said, "Regarding what happened three years ago, I think I need to explain to you. Otherwise, you might keep misunderstanding me."
"What?"
Xiao Muzhen's hand holding the water cup tightened unconsciously, and turned slightly white.
Xun Zi told her that she loved Huo Yunting very much at that time, so the moment Huo Yunting chose Chi Xuan, she must have been extremely disappointed.
"No matter what, the fact that you chose Chi Xuan is true. There's no point in explaining it now."
How else could he explain it? The only explanation was that he loved Chi Xuan more, so he chose to give up on himself.
Seeing the slight mockery in her eyes, Huo Yunting frowned and said word by word, "Whether it makes sense or not is not solely up to you to decide. For me, it is very necessary to explain it to you."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said indifferently: "Then tell me."
"Three years ago, I didn't choose Chi Xuan. Huo Tianyi kidnapped you and her. He said that choosing the left path would save you, and the right path would save Chi Xuan. I chose the left path without hesitation, but when I reached the end of that path, the person imprisoned there was Chi Xuan."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's eyes flashed with shock and his face was full of disbelief.
"So, what you're saying is... Huo Tianyi lied to you?! I was actually on the road on the right?"
Huo Yunting shook his head. "No, no matter which way I choose, I won't be able to save you because Huo Tianyi has locked you up somewhere else."
Xiao Muzhen lowered her eyes. Based on what she had found out about the grudge between Huo Yunting and Huo Tianyi, it was not impossible that Huo Tianyi would do such a thing.
But...she wouldn't believe him so easily.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?"
"have."
He took out his cell phone and clicked on a recording.
"This is the truth Huo Tianyi told me after I caught him."
When he said this, his voice trembled a little and his eyes were full of pain.
There was a flash of surprise in Xiao Muzhen's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Soon, Huo Tianyi's cold voice came from the phone.
"Huo Yunting, even if you kill me now, what will happen? You will never be able to save Chi Muzhen. Do you know what I told her at that time? I told her that I told you to take the left road to save Chi Xuan, but you chose the left road without hesitation. She died with hatred for you, hahahaha...ah!"
With a scream, the recording suddenly ended.
Xiao Muzhen didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart at the moment. He could only pick up the water and take a sip, then slowly said: "Even if it's true... this matter has already passed..."
She has now lost all her memories. When she thought Huo Yunting had given up on her, she still felt some resentment towards him. Now, that resentment has disappeared, leaving only nothingness.
Huo Yunting looked at her and said in a dry voice, "You still... don't want to forgive me, right?"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "No, I just feel that the truth is not important now. I don't love you anymore. This recording has made my resentment towards you disappear. I hope that in three months, we can be strangers."
"Why? You clearly loved me back then. If I get your memory back, will you be willing to come back?"
Meeting his somewhat paranoid gaze, Xiao Muzhen slowly said, "My mother has described our previous relationship to me. I feel that I was too humble, and that kind of love is not what I want, so I don't want to regain my memory, and I don't want to be with you anymore."
Huo Yunting was silent for a long time, and forced a smile.
"I still have three months to make you fall in love with me again."
