So many years have passed, and Huo Yanzhi still can't help but wonder if, if it weren't for his brother being with Ye Rouxin, if it weren't for this so-called uncle-niece relationship, would he and she have ended up like this?
If he had confessed his feelings first, she probably would have said yes to him much earlier.
later……
How could I have encountered Shen Lin, and how could those things have happened?
Huo Yanzhi thought about the past, and when he looked at the person in front of him, he concealed the gloom in his heart and his eyes were full of gentleness.
"Why did you come so late without telling me beforehand? It's cold outside, I'll take you inside."
As he spoke, he reached out to pull her up.
But Ye Xinning dodged before he could make a move, and her avoidance of him like the plague stung him deeply.
Huo Yanzhi stood still, his outstretched hand still in the same position.
"You hate me that much?" Huo Yanzhi smiled faintly, seemingly not angry at all.
Ye Xinning herself did not expect that at this moment, she could still talk and laugh with Huo Yanzhi.
"Uncle, how do you think I should talk to you?"
Huo Yanzhi's expression darkened. "You only call me that when you're really angry."
"Yeah?"
She arrived at the Ye family's door late at night, and without saying anything else, they just chatted lightly. But Huo Yanzhi never felt that she had simply come to catch up with him.
Her hands, hanging at her sides, were clenched tightly, and her gaze was icy cold.
She was controlling her emotions.
she……
Extremely angry.
Huo Yanzhi didn't speak, but his gaze remained fixed on her.
“When I went to Ye City, I met Chen Chen,” Ye Xinning said, looking back into his eyes.
Mentioning this name, Huo Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, but his voice remained calm and indifferent, "Is he/she very important?"
"At first, I thought he was just an ordinary person, no different from anyone I would encounter on a daily basis."
Huo Yanzhi smiled faintly; he always had this expression, but his eyes were unfathomable, as if they could drown you in them. "So, you don't think so anymore?"
Should I think that way?
Huo Yanzhi remained silent, staring at her.
Ye Xinning continued, "I met Chen Chen in Ye City. Chen Chen grabbed my hand and said it had been a long time since I'd seen her. I found it strange at the time, since I had never met Chen Chen before. Why would she say such a thing? Later, Chen Chen said she had mistaken me for someone else, and I believed her. How could I have imagined that Chen Chen actually knew me?"
Having said all that, Ye Xinning was practically about to make her last sentence clear.
She composed herself and continued, "Chen Chen is an obstetrician and gynecologist. I've thought about it a lot but still can't figure out why she knows me, so I can only come to my uncle for an answer."
As Ye Xinning finished speaking, Huo Yanzhi's usually calm face finally showed a different expression. He stared straight at Ye Xinning, his expression turning cold.
Ye Xinning clenched her hands at her sides, her mind in turmoil. She didn't know much about Huo Yanzhi, but she had seen him with this expression five years ago.
Five years ago, when Huo Yanzhi discovered that she had fallen in love with Shen Lin...
That familiar expression reminded her of what Huo Yanzhi had done five years ago, when he forcibly removed the scar on her hand that was caused by Shen Lin.
So now...
Huo Yanzhi got angry because of that one sentence, and Ye Xinning had a vague idea in her mind.
"Is Uncle still unwilling to talk about it?"
"What do you want me to say?" Huo Yanzhi's voice was no longer as calm as before. His eyes changed color, and his tone became a few degrees deeper.
"Five years ago, you imprisoned me in the basement and fabricated the illusion that I had left Nancheng. You couldn't accept that I had fallen in love with Chen Lin, so you wanted to remove the scar on my hand left by Chen Lin. But at the hospital, the doctor also told you that I was pregnant. You were terribly paranoid, thinking that you loved me, so how could you accept that I was carrying another man's child? So you conspired with the obstetrician to abort my child without anyone knowing. My condition was terrible at the time, and after being imprisoned by you for so long, even though I had just had an abortion, I could only attribute the abnormality of my body to other reasons."
Huo Yanzhi didn't want her to know everything. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, his tone calm, as if he didn't think it was such a big deal.
"You knew everything, and you even tested me at the beginning. Is that some kind of fun?"
Ye Xinning stumbled backward, trembling uncontrollably, because of Huo Yanzhi's tacit admission.
What she just said was merely her deduction, a way to test Huo Yanzhi.
But Huo Yanzhi's attitude told her that her guesses were true.
She really was pregnant back then.
Before she even realized there was a life growing inside her, Huo Yanzhi cruelly killed the child.
She placed her hand on her chest, struggling to breathe.
Back then, a series of events occurred, and she was busy with many things every day. Nothing went smoothly, so she had no time to pay attention to the abnormalities in her body, and she was unaware that she was already pregnant when she separated from Shen Lin.
It turns out that, without her knowledge, she had already lost a child.
She steadied herself, an unstoppable hatred rising within her, and the light in her eyes pierced Huo Yanzhi like a sharp sword.
"I thought you just couldn't accept that I fell in love with Chen Lin. I thought you were just angry that I got the scar on my hand while saving Chen Lin. After I woke up five years ago, you were much nicer to me. You would talk to me and have people bring me lots of good food. I originally thought it was just because of that scar. But I was wrong. You are a ruthless and scheming person. It turns out it's because you killed my child."
Huo Yanzhi stared at her for a long time before speaking again, his tone cold and low, but with a smile on his face, "That child should never have come into this world."
Ye Xinning was heartbroken, and her body trembled uncontrollably with raging anger. "Just because I don't love you?"
"Your meeting with Shen Lin was a mistake from the start, including that child."
Ye Xinning chuckled softly, a laugh that seemed eerie in the current atmosphere. "You're really scary."
Huo Yanzhi remained unmoved by everything Ye Xinning had said before, but when Ye Xinning called him terrifying, he froze.
He didn't accept it.
He became like this because of her.
Anyone could say he was terrible, but she couldn't.
No one in this world loves her as much as he does.
He rushed forward and, ignoring Ye Xinning's refusal, forcefully embraced her.
