The room was extremely quiet.
Lingchan and Huo Jiuke looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Huo Jiuke turned around and went out.
Zhao Xuchang was standing in the living room, looking anxiously at the bedroom door.
When he saw Huo Jiuke opening the door and coming out, he immediately went up to greet him and said seriously: "Hello, I hope you don't misunderstand. Miss Jiang and I are just ordinary friends..."
"friend?"
Huo Jiuke interrupted him. He was rarely so mean, but with a cold glance at Zhao Xuchang, Huo Jiuke couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
The patience he had held up against Ling Chan was completely burned away.
Huo Jiuke half-smiled and said, "Maybe you misunderstood. Mr. Zhao, there is no way for a person like you to become "friends" with Lingchan."
He took out the hair dryer from the cabinet, returned to the bedroom, and closed the door behind his back to block Zhao Xuchang's possible sight.
Lingchan is waiting for him.
Plugging in the power and pressing the button, Huo Jiuke held up Lingchan's beautiful long black hair quite unfamiliarly. He had never blowdryed anyone's hair before, but he learned quickly and showed countless tenderness and affection to the long hair in his hands. It didn't hurt Lingchan at all.
In the quiet room, the only sound for a while was the whirring sound of the hair dryer.
Soon, the hair was blown dry.
Huo Jiuke packed up the hair dryer, lowered his eyes, and wound the power cord in circles.
And Lingchan was playing with her hair, bored.
It was obviously his fiancé who caught his fiancée taking another man to take a bath in a hotel room, which was definitely an act that crossed the line. However, Ling Chan was unwilling to explain, Huo Jiuke refused to ask, and the two of them remained silent as if they were competing.
Zhao Xuchang was still waiting uneasily outside, but they acted as if he didn't exist, trying to get along warmly as usual.
Both of them were waiting for the one who couldn't hold his breath to speak first.
Huo Jiuke wrapped the hair dryer at 0.5 times speed, put it aside, and asked like a casual chat: "Why did you come to Hera Hotel suddenly? Why don't you go home?"
Lingchan raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why bother asking questions you already know the answer to?"
Huo Jiuke was startled. He could see that Ling Chan was in a bad mood. He didn't mind Ling Chan's indifference and said gently: "Chanchan, if you have anything unhappy, you can tell me. I promise you that I will talk to you later." Protect you and everything will be the same as before.”
"But I don't want to be the same as before." Lingchan said, leaning forward, the fabric of the bathrobe fell heavily, revealing large areas of fair and flawless skin.
Huo Jiuke's breath was suffocated, and he frowned slightly, "Sit tight, don't..."
"Shut up." Lingchan stared at him and asked coldly, "I'm tired of your meddling."
Huo Jiuke's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he still looks gentle now, "What happened? Why are you unhappy? Chanchan?"
Lingchan showed no expression on her face, turned on her phone, and showed him the chat history between herself and Lin Qinglu.
Recently, the relationship between Lin Qinglu and Lingchan has been heating up day by day, and they have become closer and closer day by day.
The Huo family, Mrs. Huo, Qi Yingzhou, and Huo Jiuke were quarreling, which made Chan sit outside in confusion. It was Lin Qinglu who received the news who came to comfort her.
Youlu: [Don't be sad for Huo Jiuke, Chanchan, you can live a better life without him. 】
Bad Woman: [We have always been together...I have no other friends...]
Youlu: [You have me! Moreover, you will have new friends when Huo Jiuke leaves! 】
Youlu: [You don’t have friends simply because Huo Jiuke doesn’t allow you to have any! I bumped into him when I was in Jiugao. Huo Jiuke threatened a classmate with whom he had a good relationship to transfer to another school. 】
...Then there was a long discussion about Huo Jiuke's criminal evidence. Huo Jiuke was too lazy to look at Lin Qinglu. His eyes only stayed on Lingchan's reply.
Lin Qinglu said: [Why are you so lovable? When this scary guy Huo Jiuke is gone, everyone will be happy to get close to you~]
Lingchan only replied: [Sorry, please let me think about it...]
Huo Jiuke breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace.
He put the phone on the table aside and showed a gentle, comforting smile, "Chanchan, you should give me a chance to defend myself, right?"
He leaned down, placed one hand on the back of the sofa, and gently stroked the top of Lingchan's hair, which was still slightly moist, and which he had blown dry with his own hands.
"Of course." Lingchan did not hide away, letting her broad palms gently caress her head. She stared into Huo Jiuke's eyes and said, "I'll give you a chance. I'll bring someone to come to the Hera Hotel to book a room. I'm here I silently asked myself, who will get the news? Who will rush over?"
Will her parents come to discipline Ling Chan, a rebellious and bold daughter?
Will Mrs. Huo blame her, the fiancée of the Huo family, for her deviant behavior?
Will the real young master Qi Yingzhou even be curious about how the fake young master's fiancée and his best friend will get together?
They didn't come, they didn't know.
"It's really you."
The person who restrained Lingchan, the person who paid close attention to her, the person who continued to control her for a long time... Huo Jiuke.
Huo Jiuke's pupils tightened.
He still had a smile on his face, which made him look like he was still confident of winning.
When he spoke, he was gentle and low-key, as if he was sighing: "I am your fiancé? I want to protect you and keep those bad people away from you."
Lingchan chuckled softly, her eyes gradually filled with mist, blurring her expression.
"Are you monitoring my life? The girl who invited me home from elementary school, the playmate who asked me to have lunch with me, the annoying suitor... Apart from you, the ones I like and the ones I hate, They always disappear from my life very quickly, and apart from you, I never have a long-term and stable friendship."
Lingchan asked him: "What do you think of me? The docile and loyal cats and dogs you raised, the flowers in the glass greenhouse that have not seen the wind and rain, the music box that you wind up to sing?"
"You are not my fiancé, you are the eyes that monitor my every move, and you are the big hand that manipulates my life according to your own wishes."
As Ling Chan spoke, her tears finally couldn't help but fall down, and the beautiful and fragile ones hit Huo Jiuke's skin, causing burning pain.
Huo Jiuke clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his flesh. The pain could wake him up and allow him to rationally deal with his desire to break away from his fiancée.
Huo Jiuke wiped away Lingchan's tears.
"Is this how you view my love?" he asked softly.
"Is this love?" Lingchan's body trembled slightly. Her long-standing habit made her want to throw herself into this person's arms, make her want to cry and act coquettishly to him, and beg for his comfort.
But it can’t happen anymore.
Jiang Lingchan is a flower that Huo Jiuke carefully watered with the same technique.
But when Huo Jiuke abandoned her, he didn't hesitate at all.
She should stand up, her bones are as soft as anyone else's.
"This is not love, you never loved me."
Lingchan took a deep breath and finally said it.
"Let's break off the engagement."
