"Okay, I'll go buy it."
Huo Yunting sighed heavily and had no choice but to compromise.
He was about to go out to buy her medicine, but fearing she would leave without saying goodbye again, he suddenly turned around, pulled her into his arms, and said earnestly:
"Wanwan, I promise you. From now on, I will never restrict your freedom again. As long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will do whatever you ask."
"It sounds nice, but it's not easy to actually do it."
Song Xingwan suddenly raised her head, meeting Huo Yunting's gaze, and asked, word by word:
"If I asked you to sever your relationship with your mother, would you do it?"
"Did my mother say or do something to you?" Huo Yunting asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowed.
"Nobody's a fool. Those disgusting photos on your phone, were they sent to you by Mrs. Huo?"
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Huo Yunting had a feeling that Song Xingwan was hiding something from him, but seeing how frail she looked as if she might collapse at any moment, he dared not press her further and gently carried her to the bed.
As he turned away, he had actually considered telling her the whole truth: no matter what happened, he would not threaten her with Ling Mo's safety.
Firstly, with Qin Beiming protecting him, even if Ling Mo were utterly ruthless, he would never bully his brother's woman.
Furthermore, he was genuinely grateful to Ling Mo for staying by Song Xingwan's side through one difficult time after another during the three years he couldn't be with her.
That is precisely why he would never do anything that could potentially harm Ling Mo in order to make Song Xingwan obedient.
The reason he hesitated to reveal his inner thoughts was mainly because he worried that if Song Xingwan knew what he was thinking, she would be free from mental constraints and might decide to leave him again.
After much deliberation, Huo Yunting ultimately refrained from speaking these words aloud, and instead whispered to Song Xingwan:
"I'm going to buy medicine, I'll be back soon."
Song Xingwan nodded, then lay lifelessly on the bed like a duckweed in the rain.
Her almond-shaped eyes, so full of tenderness and helplessness, were filled with sorrow.
Despite feeling so suffocated, I couldn't shed another tear.
Years ago, Song Xingwan had secretly imagined their future more than once. Even after learning that the Huo family had participated in the siege and attack on the Song family, she still couldn't help but think of him, miss him, and love him deeply.
However, she never expected that Huo Yunting would disregard her wishes and force himself on her...
Song Xingwan closed her eyes tightly, feeling as if her heart had withered and all hope had vanished. If one day she were to pay off all the debts she had incurred, she would leave without looking back and never see him again.
Huo Yunting had just stepped out of the apartment when he called Mrs. Huo.
After the call connected, he went straight to the point and questioned me:
"Mom, you had someone forge intimate photos of Wanwan with someone else, right?"
Yao Xiangli's expression froze slightly; she hadn't expected Huo Yunting to trace her back to her so quickly.
After catching her breath, she pretended to be clueless again, asking irrelevantly, "Ah Ting, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
Huo Yunting had long been fed up with Yao Xiangli's interference in his private life, and flew into a rage, hysterically yelling at her:
"Mom, are you trying to drive me to my death?"
"Oh dear, what are you saying? Mom loves you so much, how could I bear to pressure you?"
"Do you dare swear an oath that if these photos on my phone are faked by someone you ordered, you'll make sure I don't live past tonight?"
Yao Xiangli realized that Huo Yunting was truly angry this time, and replied somewhat guiltily:
"Why make oaths and vows out of the blue? Ah Ting, listen to me, that little hussy Song Xingwan has never been easy to deal with. You think she likes you for who you are? Actually, she's only after our family's wealth."
"So, these photos on my phone, were they really forged by you?"
Huo Yunting's eyes were bloodshot. For a moment, he did have the thought of severing his relationship with Yao Xiangli.
Yao Xiangli stammered in response:
"I...I did all this for your own good. Think about it, how could a decent girl easily agree to live with a man? Don't forget, three years ago, she already did something as despicable as drugging you."
"You might as well just point your finger at me and yell at me. Wanwan never wanted to live with me; I forced her into it all."
"Why are you so stubborn, child? That little vixen Song Xingwan, apart from being quite pretty, how can she compare to Jiang Yao, who comes from a wealthy family and is single-mindedly in love with you?"
Yao Xiangli looked down on Song Xingwan from the bottom of her heart. After pausing for a moment, she continued to tirelessly persuade Huo Yunting:
"Ah Ting, you and Song Xingwan are completely incompatible. Just have some fun with her, she's not worth your time."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunting was so angry that he wanted to delete Yao Xiangli's contact information on the spot.
Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered what Song Xingwan had just said, and, paying special attention, said in a deep voice:
“Wanwan told me everything that happened three years ago.”
Yao Xiangli's eyelids twitched, and she asked increasingly nervously:
"What...what did she say?"
She said she didn't administer the drug.
In fact, Song Xingwan had already explained this to him three years ago.
Unfortunately, at that time he had not yet figured out his feelings for Song Xingwan, which led to a series of unnecessary misunderstandings between them.
