Chapter 724 He Lao Er may have cheated on his wife!
"no."
Bai Luoshuang's face paled, and she lowered her eyes slightly, explaining earnestly, "I was afraid of affecting your work."
"A little."
He Huaixu sat next to him, playing with two White Rabbit milk candies in his hand, his face a little sour.
Bai Luoshuang: "?"
She remembered that he didn't have a sweet tooth, so why was he suddenly eating candy?
Or is it...?
Does his white moonlight like him?
"Feel sorry."
Bai Luoshuang looked away dejectedly, licked her lips, and said in a low voice, "I came to the capital this time mainly to take care of three things."
Three things?
Oh.
There are both whole and odd amounts.
"Sure."
He Huaixu tossed the candy onto the bedside table, suppressing his irritation, and stared at her face with dark eyes. "Let me hear what you want to do."
What else is there besides divorce?
"Your parents haven't seen you in a long time and want you to come back and visit."
Bai Luoshuang looked up, her beautiful eyes swirling with complex emotions, but her face remained calm: "Especially Mom, she misses you very much."
"Um."
He Huaixu pursed his thin lips and nodded without hesitation.
Although the two elders in the He family were not his biological parents, their kindness in raising him was greater than heaven.
From childhood to adulthood, besides being strict with him, we also provided him with family warmth.
Even if they recognize each other as relatives, they will not forget the kindness shown to them.
"The lab has been quite busy lately. I'll go back when I'm done," He Huaixu said.
"Um."
Hearing this answer, Bai Luoshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again when she thought about the next question: "The second thing is that I need your help."
"Go on," He Huaixu said, staring at her and noticing that she seemed even thinner than before.
Adding to that, his injury and illness made him look even weaker.
Especially that waist...
When I held her yesterday, I could easily hold her with one hand; it seemed like I could break her with the slightest force.
Does she not eat at home?
"Grandma hasn't been feeling well lately, and she keeps saying she wants to see you." Bai Luoshuang gripped her spoon tightly, feeling incredibly guilty, and pleaded softly, "Could you come back with me to see her and put her mind at ease?"
The forced marriage incident back then caused the He family to lose face and also prevented He Huaixu from marrying the girl he loved.
She thought that He Huaixu would hate her after she married him.
Who would have thought—
Despite his cold attitude, he still gave her plenty of face in front of others.
Especially for my grandmother.
He Huaixu did his best to treat her illness.
Grandma especially liked him.
When she found out that he was the person she had secretly loved for many years, she wholeheartedly accepted him as her son-in-law.
Grandma's health is very poor, and I'm worried about her.
I don't want her to know about the divorce for now, as it might affect her health.
"And the third question?"
He Huaixu stared at her silently, without answering, his expression slightly complicated.
"About the divorce." Bai Luoshuang put down her bowl, her face pale and weak, and said, "The agreed term was three years, and it will expire in thirty-eight days."
Thirty-eight days?
He Huaixu turned his head away, feeling as if a stone was pressing down on his chest, making his heart ache. He sneered, "You remember so clearly?"
"..."
Bai Luoshuang frowned, not understanding the meaning behind his smile.
Disdain? Or perhaps sarcasm?
"Don't worry, I'll leave with nothing." Bai Luoshuang hid the bitterness in her heart and tried her best to appear calm.
"Then what?"
He Huaixu looked at her again, his fingertips tightening, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke.
"What then?" Bai Luoshuang was slightly taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
Does she need to explain to his unrequited love?
"It's nothing." He Huaixu didn't want to press the matter. He stood up, lowered his eyes to stare at the woman in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Recently, there can't be any rumors of marital discord regarding the development of the He family or my work."
"I'll go back and cooperate with you regarding Grandma. As for the divorce..."
He Huaixu thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Two months, you should be able to wait, right?"
Gu Jingnian can stay abroad for three years without returning, so what's two more months?
The girl he liked got married, but he didn't react at all.
Shouldn't they have come back to disrupt the wedding?
This spineless bastard has no guts; I have no idea what Bai Luoshuang likes about him.
She waited for him for three years, so what's wrong with making him wait for two months?
not to mention--
Did he ever say he wanted to let go?
"Can."
Bai Luoshuang nodded gently, her watery eyes fixed on him, "It definitely has to be done without affecting your work."
"You're quite thoughtful."
He Huaixu gave her a deep look, stood up, took the bowl from her hand, and said expressionlessly, "Take your medicine."
"oh."
Bai Luoshuang stared at his back and responded softly.
"besides--"
He Huaixu opened the door, then suddenly turned around. "These two candies on the table are for you."
For her?
In their bewilderment, He Huaixu had already left, and the room became completely quiet.
Looking at the candy on the table, Bai Luoshuang felt complicated.
She thought this candy was like a piece of pure, unattainable love.
Isn't that right?
——
Above the clouds.
Today is the Sheng family's monthly family gathering day.
He Huaixu had been constantly checking his phone since he came in, seemingly distracted.
"Second brother, what are you looking at?"
Song Mingji curiously leaned closer, his eyes fixed on the phone, trying to figure something out.
"nothing."
He Huaixu turned off his phone, put it in his suit pocket, and his eyes were filled with restlessness.
Bai Luoshuang had just arrived in the capital and wasn't familiar with her family, plus she had twisted her ankle.
It's not a good opportunity to meet.
I'll introduce them to you when the opportunity arises.
not to mention.
She's in such a hurry to get a divorce that she might not be willing to meet his family.
"Something's up."
Song Mingji looked He Huaixu up and down with curiosity, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, you're not thinking about women, are you?"
Just like him.
He thinks about Wen Jianjian every day, and calls her eight hundred times a day.
"..."
Touched on his secret, He Huaixu frowned, about to retort.
Song Mingji then said, "Damn it! Isn't Second Sister-in-law in Nanzhou?"
"Second brother, you're not having an affair, are you?"
"..."
He Huaixu was speechless and wanted to stuff a steamed bun in his mouth.
"Second brother, our family has a good reputation, you can't do such a despicable thing."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" He Huaixu ignored him and walked to the dining table to sit down.
He quickly ate a few bites of rice, then stood up and said, "I have some things to do in the lab, I'll be going now."
"Eating so little? Are you not feeling well?" Xia Xun looked at him with concern.
He Huaixu had no precedent of leaving early during family gatherings.
Moreover, he has been absent-minded all day.
"No." He Huaixu wiped his mouth and looked at everyone. "Let's get together another day."
He left his words.
He Huaixu picked up his coat and walked away quickly.
"What's going on!"
Xia Xun held the chopsticks, unable to figure it out.
"..."
Pei Jinwu ate chicken wings, gazing in the direction He Huaixu had left, her brows furrowed.
My second brother is indeed a bit strange.
“I know.” Song Mingji put down his chopsticks, his tone serious.
"..."
Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for what would happen next.
"He Lao Er, he..."
After thinking for a moment, Song Mingji still said, "He may have had an extramarital affair."
Although he had never met his second sister-in-law, his ethical and moral principles prevented him from standing idly by.
What?
Marital infidelity?
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded.
