Chapter 143 If I'm not having a good time, neither of you can expect to be happy.

Huo Zhizhou parted his thin lips slightly, his voice carrying a hint of coldness: "If you are hospitalized due to an accident, it is only right that I take care of you, but don't forget how you got into the hospital?"

A simple sentence left Su Anran frozen in place.

She deliberately caused a car accident to make Huo Zhizhou choose between her and playing with Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui. Afterwards, he was unhappy about it but did not really get angry with her.

"I will take care of you and give you the life you want." Huo Zhizhou reiterated the rules, this time without any leniency, "but only out of gratitude."

Su Anran was on edge.

Unable to win an argument, she chose to remain silent.

A short while later, the car sent by Assistant Jiang arrived, and Huo Zhizhou got into the car with her.

No one spoke in the car; the atmosphere was terribly oppressive.

"Are you not coming to the Waterside Villa anymore?" Su Anran didn't like the atmosphere and took the initiative to ask.

Huo Zhizhou gave three words: "It depends."

These three words made Su Anran realize how clear-headed he was, so clear-headed that even though he could have given an answer at this moment, he still gave a rational answer because of that so-called favor.

"I want to ask you a question." Su Anran was eager to know the answer.

Huo Zhizhou: "Go ahead."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Su Anran's eyes: "If you had met me first, instead of Jiang Ruan, would you have treated me the same way you treated Jiang Ruan?"

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou's suspicious gaze fell on her.

"What's wrong?" Su Anran didn't realize the problem. "Is it hard to answer?"

"I met Jiang Ruan five years ago," Huo Zhizhou answered the question rationally, his deep voice carrying a hint of coolness. "In terms of actual encounters, I met you first."

Before he officially met Jiang Ruan, he always kept in mind the person who saved him when he was a child.

But after seeing her, he gradually hid the things from his childhood, and she slowly invaded his life, taking over his entire existence.

He will not fall in love with anyone other than Jiang Ruan.

She also doesn't want to be loved by anyone other than Jiang Ruan.

“I mean when we’re older.” Su Anran’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly tried to explain, “If you had met me first, would things have turned out differently between us…?”

"No, you're not my type." Huo Zhizhou didn't consider the concept of emotional intelligence when he spoke, and gave the answer truthfully, "You also can't love me like Jiang Ruan does."

Su Anran: "?"

Su Anran was now truly puzzled.

Jiang Ruan is about to divorce him, yet he still thinks she loves him?

"Do you have some misunderstanding about love?" she asked.

Huo Zhizhou did not reply.

From the outside, he seemed to love Jiang Ruan and doted on her for five years, but only his friends knew that Jiang Ruan loved him just as much.

Her love was more delicate than his, and because it was delicate, it could not tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

"How can you be so sure I can't love you as much as Jiang Ruan?" Su Anran felt that he didn't even understand her before making this judgment. "If I were with you, I would go along with everything you say, follow your lead, and put you first in everything."

Huo Zhizhou looked at her and said, "If Jiang Ruan were my savior, she wouldn't ask me to support her for the rest of my life while I'm already married."

Su Anran was taken aback.

A feeling of guilt welled up inside me.

"Her heart is purer than yours." Huo Zhizhou said these seven words with a serious look in his eyes.

"So you're not good enough for her, aren't you?" Su Anran, in a fit of despair, unleashed her darkest side. "You promised to support me for life while you were already married. Where are you even clean?"

"You keep saying you value commitments, but who knows if you really do, or if you just enjoy the thrill of being supported outside?" Su Anran blurted out, a mad glint in her eyes.

driver:"!!!"

The driver was extremely panicked.

He would go crazy if he heard such explosive news on his first day of work.

Huo Zhizhou remained completely unmoved, instead asking her with unusual calm, "Not pretending anymore?"

Su Anran felt an overwhelming sense of oppression in her chest.

She really wanted to ask him,

How can you maintain such calmness and rationality at all times?

"You've made yourself so clear, what's the point of me pretending?" Su Anran had truly given up hope. "You keep saying you love Jiang Ruan, do you really love her?"

Huo Zhizhou did not answer.

Su Anran was determined to make things difficult for him too: "She wants a divorce and you won't let her. Is this your kind of love?"

"Yes," Huo Zhizhou answered crisply.

Su Anran scoffed lightly.

If this is love, it's far too perverse!

Huo Zhizhou knew very well that once they got divorced, he would still be unable to resist intervening to help Jiang Ruan if she encountered any problems. But at that time, he would also have to take care of Su Anran. From the outside, it would seem that Su Anran had squeezed out Jiang Ruan's position and that Jiang Ruan had become the third party after the divorce.

He couldn't let her bear that kind of reputation.

He had no choice but to keep her by his side if he had to fulfill his promise, and he would never let her go even if she loathed or hated him.

Most importantly, he didn't want to be unrelated to her.

"I will make you take care of me for the rest of your life." Su Anran had a plan in mind. "As long as I'm alive, Jiang Ruan will never forgive you. If I'm not happy, neither of you will be happy!"

If she can't have it, they can't have it either.

Huo Sinian once said that Huo Zhizhou valued promises more than his own life. All she needed to do was get rid of the people who knew about it back then and make Jiang Ruan completely forget about it.

She could let him support her for life without any worries, and no one would find out or know!

The more she thought about it, the more reliable this method seemed.

"That's a good idea," Huo Zhizhou said, his thin lips slightly parted.

Su Anran frowned slightly.

She thought Huo Zhizhou would be angry at her shameless behavior after she said that, but he... seemed to have no emotional reaction at all.

"We've arrived." Huo Zhizhou glanced at his phone and said unhurriedly, "Jiang Yu has already completed your discharge procedures. Go upstairs, pick up your things, and you can go back now."

Su Anran didn't know how she got out of the car, nor did she know how she got back to the Waterside Villa.

All she knew was that after Huo Zhizhou took her to the waterside villa and left, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

Thinking about what she had said, she suddenly felt very uncertain. Where did she get the courage to threaten Huo Zhizhou? This man was always ruthless in his methods. If she really pushed him too far, wouldn't he cause an accident to kill her?

Gu Shixi also asked this question.

Si Ning overheard the conversation inside the car.

“If Su Anran is really as she says, you and Jiang Ruan probably won’t have a good ending,” Gu Shixi said, sitting next to him. “When that happens, will you continue to make all three of you unhappy, or will you accidentally cause some kind of accident to happen to her?”

"How is this behavior any different from what Huo Cheng did back then?" Huo Zhizhou's eyes were cold.

Gu Shixi and Si Ning exchanged a glance.

The latter were not as somber as the others, exuding ease and comfort, and speaking casually: "If he were still here, he wouldn't want you to get stuck on trivial matters."
