He took a tube of ointment from his sleeve and handed it to Su Ruanruan, looking at the wound on her forehead with concern. "This ointment is very effective. Your second brother used it when he was injured before..."
However, Su Ruanruan did not reach out to take the tube of ointment, but stared at Su Zhen with cold eyes.
Seeing this, Su Tinghan said to her gently, "Ruanruan, your father has been very worried since he learned that something happened to you. This is a token of his concern, please accept it."
Su Ruanruan took a small step back, a cold smile on her face. "A kind gesture? Humph! Who is to blame for the suffering I've endured today? Isn't it that 'beautiful and kind-hearted' princess?"
"If she hadn't known I was still alive but left me to fend for myself in the Northwest, how would I have met that lecherous Chu Ran?"
“I am just a helpless and lonely woman, and anyone can bully me at will. He kept saying he cared about me, but in reality he did nothing.”
“When Princess Jingyi was verbally abusing me, he didn’t even dare to say a single heartless word to her. Such fatherly love is too cheap. I, Su Ruanruan, don’t care about having such a father at all.”
Su Tinghan hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is, Ruanruan. Because of what happened to you, Father hasn't spoken to Mother for a long time, and he hasn't even stepped into Mother's courtyard."
However, Su Ruanruan found it all ridiculous. "I don't want to hear another word about your family matters."
After saying that, she turned and left with the purple mist without looking back. Just then, Su Zhen suddenly called out to her from behind.
"Ruanruan, what do you want from me to acknowledge me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ruanruan slowly stopped, but did not turn around to look at the speaker. Instead, a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Unless you divorce the princess, don't expect me to see you again..."
Su Tinghan was stunned by these words. His lips parted slightly but no sound came out. He could only murmur, "Ruan Ruan..." before turning to look at his father.
...
Night fell, and all was quiet.
Su Ruanruan sat alone at the table, holding a paintbrush, intently depicting the people on the rice paper.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a dark figure quietly walked in.
Su Ruanruan glanced up briefly before returning to her painting.
The person walked silently to her side, his gaze fixed on the figure in the painting, and he did not look away for a long time.
After a long while, she finally couldn't help but ask, "You still can't let him go?" Her words carried a hint of undisguised bitterness.
Upon hearing this, Su Ruanruan paused slightly with her paintbrush, then gently put it down.
She looked at the figure in the painting with a complicated expression, and gently stroked the elegant and handsome man in white with her fingers.
"I have never forgotten him."
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Huo Yan's heart deeply. He couldn't help but frown, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
It turns out that she had kept that deep affection buried in her heart all along, and it had never wavered in the slightest.
A profound sense of loss welled up in Huo Yan's heart. That was why she felt such disgust for the child she was carrying, and even went so far as to abort him with a bowl of abortion soup.
Su Ruanruan gazed at him quietly. "The night is deep and the dew is heavy. General Huo's visit is probably not just to catch up with me, is it?"
Her voice was calm as still water, but the indifference it contained was chilling.
Huo Yan silently withdrew his gaze, turned and walked to a chair to sit down, and slowly said, "What exactly happened today? What happened between Chu Ran and his personal guard? Why did his guard turn against him?"
Faced with Huo Yan's questioning, Su Ruanruan smiled coldly, "I told you, I don't know anything."
Seeing this, Huo Yan chuckled, "Su Ruanruan, you may be able to fool others, but you can't fool me. From the moment you pretended to be weak and afraid by the carriage, I knew you were hiding something."
Su Ruanruan smiled and said, "You do know me well, but unfortunately we are enemies now. From the moment you saved Fu Hengfeng's life, there has been a blood feud between us. What do I know, and why should I tell you?"
Huo Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Su Ruanruan, have you ever thought that we became enemies the moment you killed our child!"
