...
It was already late at night, but Su Yaoyao still couldn't sleep.
Huo Xiting went to deal with the car accident, and not wanting her to get tired, he didn't let her come along.
Su Yaoyao's mind was in a mess.
Why would someone suddenly get into a car accident?
Su Yaoyao wasn't sure if this matter was related to Yu Chiyan. Did he know that Huo Xiting was now living under the same roof as her, so he was making trouble for Huo Xiting and preventing her from being with him?
Or does Yu Chiyan have other plans?
Su Yaoyao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. In the end, she couldn't help but call Yu Chiyan.
There was no answer on the other end, and Su Yaoyao frowned. Just as she was wondering whether to call again, Yu Chiyan's WeChat video call came through.
Su Yaoyao's hands trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. She swallowed hard and answered the call with trembling hands.
As soon as the call connected, a deep, hoarse male voice came from the other end.
"What do you want from my future sister-in-law looking for me in the middle of the night?"
The lights weren't on on his end; a tiny crimson glow flickered in the darkness, like a lit cigarette.
Yu Chiyan's words were somewhat ambiguous, making one blush and feel a rush of excitement.
She sat up in bed, the blanket slipped off, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, which looked as white as jade under the cool-toned light.
"Yu Chiyan, Huo Xiting and I almost hit someone on our way back."
The man, hidden in the shadows, raised an eyebrow. "What a pity. If he had really killed someone, he would have gone to jail."
Hearing his nonchalant tone, Su Yaoyao couldn't tell whether this had anything to do with him.
"Yu Chiyan, are you behind this?"
In the darkness, the man's dark, deep eyes greedily swept from Su Yaoyao's delicate collarbone to her unbelievably beautiful face. Hearing Su Yaoyao's words, which seemed to express concern for Huo Xiting, he smiled, his deep voice tinged with a hint of wickedness.
"I'd rather mess with you than a ghost..."
Su Yaoyao's expression froze, and she gripped her phone even tighter.
Yu Chiyan appeared at the old house that night, but only to humiliate her and Huo Xiting. He had no intention of stopping her engagement to Huo Xiting. So what does he mean now?
Su Yaoyao pursed her lips. Yu Chiyan wanted her to leave Nancheng, but she didn't listen and instead got together with Huo Xiting. Su Yaoyao knew that Yu Chiyan would resent her, but she didn't know whether Yu Chiyan would stop her from being with Huo Xiting or really let her go.
"Yu Chiyan, what exactly do you mean?"
She wanted to know what this man was planning to do now.
Yu Chiyan smiled, his deep voice carrying a hint of coldness; "I think sometimes playing with taboos is not bad."
Su Yaoyao's face turned pale instantly. These words were telling her that he wouldn't stop her from being with Huo Xiting, but he also wouldn't let her go.
Su Yaoyao's heart was bleeding, aching and heavy. She opened her mouth to explain something, but then she heard a man's heavy breathing coming from the screen.
Su Yaoyao's face stiffened. She knew Yu Chiyan's voice all too well when he was moved.
Her face flushed red, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
"Yu Chiyan, you pervert!"
Her response was the man's even clearer panting.
Su Yaoyao's ears turned red, and she hung up the phone.
Yu Chiyan stared at his phone, now black, and cursed himself for being so weak. He'd had a few drinks, and just looking at that glimpse of her fair skin made him lose control of his desires. How ridiculous.
Yu Chiyan put down his phone, got up, and went to the bathroom.
Soon the sound of rushing water could be heard inside...
...
The next day.
Huo Xiting returned to the villa early in the morning. Su Yaoyao could tell that he looked unwell, whether from exhaustion or something else.
"What's wrong? Did things not go smoothly?"
Huo Xiting placed the breakfasts he had bought on the table one by one, and chuckled softly upon hearing this.
Are you worried about me?
No matter the situation, Huo Xiting was always gentle when facing Su Yaoyao, and his eyes were always full of love when he looked at her.
But now, with that look in his eyes, she didn't want to answer the question.
When Huo Xiting saw her avoid him, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He had known all along that Yu Qing was forcing her to marry him, and that he hadn't refused. This was bound to make Su Yaoyao resent him.
But he didn't care. Once he had avenged himself and settled all the affairs in Nancheng, he would take Su Yaoyao away from here and find a place where no one knew them to live a carefree and quiet life.
"Don't worry, everything's fine. The matter was resolved smoothly."
Su Yaoyao took a sip of millet porridge and nodded upon hearing this.
Huo Xiting looked at her expressionless face, paused for a moment, and then said something.
"Yaoyao, let's go pick out the dresses for our engagement party together today."
Su Yaoyao's hand trembled, and the porridge in the spoon spilled onto the table.
Huo Xiting could see clearly that the man's disappointment was even greater, but his fawning smile was just as strong.
"Yaoyao?"
Su Yaoyao was pulled back by his voice. She pursed her lips and said something that made Huo Xiting's smile gradually disappear.
"Well, you can just have someone pick out a couple of things. I want to go to the hospital to check on Grandma these next few days. I heard from Dr. Nan that Grandma is very likely to wake up in the next few days, so I need to go and see her."
The light in Huo Xiting's eyes quickly faded. He looked at Su Yaoyao and said something.
