Chapter 82 Did I ever say I didn't love you?

Jiang Ruan reached out to push him, but Huo Zhizhou's flirting skills were too proficient, and in just a moment she was completely powerless.

His large hand slid down to his waist, and the delicate, smooth feel of it made him reluctant to put it down.

But you can clearly feel that she has lost a lot of weight.

"Have you been eating properly lately?" Huo Zhizhou stopped what he was doing and released her, his deep, unfathomable gaze falling on her.

Jiang Ruan found an opening and shoved him away, saying, "What's it to you?"

Her cheeks flushed slightly, whether from anger or emotion, she couldn't tell.

Her red lips, glistening with saliva, looked incredibly alluring, and the moisture on her cupid's bow shimmered under the light, making them irresistible with every movement.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing him approaching her, Jiang Ruan subconsciously stepped back, only to bump into the wall behind her after a few steps.

Huo Zhizhou braced himself with one hand beside her, his tall figure slightly bent down, his thin lips parted slightly, and his deep, magnetic voice rang out in front of her: "Don't look at me like you've suffered a great loss."

Jiang Ruan glared at him.

Isn't that so?

"You dare say you didn't enjoy it at all just now?" Huo Zhizhou moved closer to her, his clean and pleasant scent enveloping her once again.

Jiang Ruan said something against her will: "No!"

She knew Huo Zhizhou too well; he knew every sensitive spot on her body. Just now, when she lost control of her emotions and her defenses collapsed, his gentleness and indulgence made her feel intoxicated for a moment.

She knew this was wrong.

However, in her emotionally broken state, she couldn't even maintain her most basic rationality.

"Really?" Huo Zhizhou's voice carried a hint of coaxing as he placed his other hand on her waist. "Then do you dare let me check you out?"

Jiang Ruan never expected him to be so shameless.

"Feeling guilty?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Jiang Ruan raised her hand and slapped him.

Huo Zhizhou easily caught it and said unhurriedly, "Wouldn't you call this getting angry out of embarrassment?"

Jiang Ruan cursed at him: "Shameless!"

"You just said I'm shameless and have no self-respect." Huo Zhizhou wasn't angry at all.

Jiang Ruan stopped mid-sentence.

After a while, she shook off his grip on her arm and muttered, "Let go."

Huo Zhizhou didn't let go; he held her hand very lightly, but just enough to keep her under control.

After Jiang Ruan tried several times to break free but failed, she questioned him, word by word, "Do you know that this kind of behavior is called being a hooligan!"

"Being affectionate with your own wife is at most flirting," Huo Zhizhou said, his thin lips slightly parted.

Jiang Ruan's delicate, small face held a hint of mockery: "When did I become your wife? Aren't I just a mistress?"

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Jiang Ruan reminded him, "You said it yourself, the one who isn't loved is the mistress."

Huo Zhizhou said matter-of-factly, "Did I ever say I didn't love you?"

Jiang Ruan thought back and realized that from the beginning until now, he had said many hurtful things and done many inhuman things, but he had never said that he didn't love her.

“Loving someone doesn’t mean bringing another person into the house.” She realized she had fallen into his trap. “From the day you brought Su Anran into the house, you stopped loving her.”

Huo Zhizhou's lips moved, but he only said a few words: "I don't love her."

Jiang Ruan's expression grew colder and colder; she didn't believe a single word of it!

If he didn't love her, would he bring her back? Would he tell her he would take care of her for the rest of his life?

"It's not what you think about me and her." Huo Zhizhou didn't like to tell her about his unavoidable circumstances because he knew that regardless of his reasons, what he did had hurt Jiang Ruan.

This is true.

It cannot be offset by excuses.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Jiang Ruan became wary again. “I just need to know that you’re going to support her for the rest of your life and that I’m going to accept her existence.”

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened little by little.

That's true.

That cannot be refuted.

"Sui Sui needs to get up." Jiang Ruan glanced at the time, then met his gaze again. "Get out of the way."

"Your habit of using people and then discarding them hasn't changed at all." Huo Zhizhou withdrew his hand and stopped restraining her, then strolled leisurely towards the sofa.

Jiang Ruan didn't speak.

The warmth and comfort of the past have faded, but my heart has been affected to some extent.

Just as she was about to go to the room to check on Sui Sui, she heard him open the door. He then came out, dressed, with his short legs, and called out to her in his childish voice, "Mommy."

"Get up." Jiang Ruan composed herself and ruffled his hair. "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. Dad brought you breakfast."

Sui Sui glanced at the calm and collected person on the sofa.

I didn't call him.

Seeing him like this, Huo Zhizhou suddenly remembered that many people had said that Sui Sui's temper was like his.

Now it seems that this level of holding a grudge is more like Jiang Ruan's.

After Sui Sui finished washing up, it was around seven o'clock. He sat at the dining table and ate breakfast with them. Throughout the whole process, he only talked to Jiang Ruan and didn't pay any attention to Huo Zhizhou.

"Mommy, I don't want to go to the amusement park," Sui Sui suddenly said.

Jiang Ruan asked gently, "Why?"

Sui Sui hung her head, unsure of what to say.

He didn't want his anticipated day to be ruined by a phone call from someone else. Given how much his father cared about that person, he knew he would definitely go with her if she called.

When that time comes, Mommy will feel bad, and he doesn't want Mommy to have to comfort him to make him happy when she's unhappy.

"I'll only spend time with you today." Huo Zhizhou could tell what was on his mind.

Sui Sui finally looked at him properly, her round eyes revealing a hint of emotion: "Promise, or agree?"

Huo Zhizhou replied: "I promise."

Sui Sui was satisfied and began to eat his breakfast obediently.

He was already awake when his father arrived. He wanted to go out and join them, but when he opened the door, he heard them talking outside. He heard his father say that he still loved his mother, and he also heard him say that he didn't love that aunt.

He didn't understand why his father, who clearly loved his mother, would be with someone else.

But he knew this was a rare day when his father and mother could be together peacefully, and he still hoped that his father would change his ways and be with his mother.

Although other people are good, I still prefer the original Dad.

Listening to the father and son's words, Jiang Ruan understood why Sui Sui said those words.

After breakfast, they went out. Jiang Ruan was wearing light-colored casual clothes, and Sui Sui was wearing overalls. The three of them looked very pleasing to the eye when they walked together.

This day.

Whatever Sui Sui played, Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou would accompany him, with the two of them putting him first.

Su Anran, who had followed along, witnessed this scene. Her friend, noticing her increasingly pale face, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Stop looking. Aren't you going to get your nails done? I'll go with you."

"Has his heart never truly been with me?" Su Anran suddenly asked.

She had never seen that kind of smile and look on his face before.

His tenderness and affection for her seemed to be an automatically programmed sequence.
