Chapter 160 Only Heartless To Me

Chapter 160 Only Heartless To Me

"I've screamed inside my head several times already." Jiang Ruan was telling the truth. When people are extremely happy, they often can't find the right words to express their feelings.

From the moment she heard Su Zhu's words until now, her heart has never been at peace.

She didn't know how to express it.

All she knew was that her mother was coming back.

"Forget it, if I were you, I probably wouldn't know how to react either." Su Zhu understood her. "Now that Aunt Jiang is about to wake up and recover, she will be able to go to elementary school every year. Do you have any plans?"

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and said, "I want to leave Jingzhou."

These words were spoken.

Huo Zhizhou, standing against the wall outside the lounge, had a slightly darker look in his eyes, and a cool aura gradually enveloped his entire body.

“Huo Zhizhou doesn’t plan to divorce me right now.” Jiang Ruan had found her courage. “I don’t want to see him involved with Su Anran. The only way is to leave.”

At worst, we can just keep sending Sui Sui to private schools.

I went abroad to study after high school.

The household registration problem was then easily solved.

“With Huo Zhizhou’s methods, he can find you even if you move to the ends of the earth.” Su Zhu was telling the truth. “However, judging from the previous property transfer, Aunt Jiang’s identity must be extraordinary. I wonder if she has any way to find you.”

"We'll talk about it when she wakes up." Jiang Ruan had a plan in mind since last night. "After she wakes up, she'll need some time for rehabilitation training before she can move around normally. That's enough time to make plans."

"Is that so?" A cool voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Ruan was startled and almost dropped her phone. When she turned around, she saw Huo Zhizhou looking at her with a cold and indifferent aura. His dark eyes were filled with danger, and the deep blackness seemed to be able to devour her.

Jiang Ruanxin tensed up, instinctively feeling intimidated by him.

Su Zhu didn't hear Huo Zhizhou's words and continued, "That's true. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on your mother's condition."

"Okay." Jiang Ruan said this word without any force.

Su Zhu, concerned for Jiang An, didn't think much of it, assuming she was working overtime and didn't dare to speak loudly, and quickly hung up the phone.

The lounge was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The two looked at each other from a distance of several meters.

One was guilty and afraid, the other indifferent and cold.

"I thought you would have seen how much I cared about you during this time." Huo Zhizhou's voice was colder than usual, his calm tone carrying a terrifying danger, "But you still want to leave."

"Am I wrong to want to leave?" Jiang Ruan didn't know where she got the courage to confront him.

Huo Zhizhou walked towards her step by step.

Every step she took felt like stepping on her heart, filling her with fear, repression, and panic.

"There is a mistake." Huo Zhizhou uttered these two words with his thin lips slightly parted.

Jiang Ruan was about to retort.

Huo Zhizhou forced her against the wall, looking down at her with his superior gaze: "I will never be your first choice, and you will never firmly choose me."

"Before blaming me, you should think about what you've done first," Jiang Ruan retorted, but her heart fell silent for a moment because of his words. "If you hadn't wanted to support Su Anran, I wouldn't have left."

Huo Zhizhou pursed his thin lips and didn't speak again.

Those eyes, as cold as midnight, gleamed with a chill.

“You investigated everything about me before we got married, so you should know what she did to me.” Jiang Ruan finally said these words. “You don’t care about my feelings and you’re willing to support her, so why can’t I leave you?”

Huo Zhizhou's aura grew increasingly oppressive, and he remained silent, keeping the words hidden deep within his heart.

Whether you say it or not, it won't make much difference.

"You can't leave." That was all he said.

“You thought I would come back the day I filed for divorce, but I didn’t.” Jiang Ruan was quite stubborn when she got angry. “Now you think I can’t leave, but I will definitely be able to leave later.”

"Give it a try." Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened.

Jiang Ruan's light-colored lips parted slightly, about to meet his gaze.

He then uttered a sentence carrying an implicit threat: "If you dare to leave, I dare to harm Su Zhu and Ye Yan. I've never been a good person."

"You dare?" Jiang Ruan tried to intimidate him with her aura.

Huo Zhizhou said, "You know I dare."

Jiang Ruan's hands, hanging limply at her sides, suddenly clenched. Her knuckles turned white from extreme anger, and her palms were marked by her fingernails.

"You can be soft-hearted with everyone." Huo Zhizhou looked at her, a pain welling up in his chest, "except for being ruthless with me."

"That's what you asked for." When Jiang Ruan gets ruthless, her words can be quite sharp.

Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou: "I brought this on myself."

Huo Zhizhou: "But husband and wife are one. If I am not doing well, you can't run away either. Jingzhou is your home, Ruanyuan is your nest. After a hundred years, when we return to dust, you can only be buried with me."

"Can you please stop being so unreasonable?" Jiang Ruan was genuinely scared.

If he really uses Su Zhuye and Yan Zhi to threaten her, she really can't ignore it. But she also can't bear to see him caring about another person while he's with her, and she can't ignore everything from the past.

"You can put an end to the idea of ​​leaving Jingzhou now," Huo Zhizhou said calmly, his eyes revealing a calm madness. "You can't escape, and you can't leave."

After saying that, he turned and left.

I didn't look at her hateful, disgusted, and sad eyes again.

He was afraid he would soften his heart and be unable to bear seeing her so unhappy.

"I will definitely leave!" Jiang Ruan was rebellious by nature, and the more rebellious she was, the farther away she wanted to be.

Huo Zhizhou walked out of the lounge without looking back. He was the only one in the empty corridor. His usually tall and slender figure looked somewhat lonely and desolate.

Jiang Ruan leaned against the wall, a surge of emotion spreading through her heart.

She stayed inside for a while before she could calm herself down and return to her work area to work overtime, but her mood could easily affect her creative ability.

She stared at the canvas for a long time but couldn't get the brush to move on the previous canvas. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her mother waking up for a while and Huo Zhizhou not getting a divorce.

"Why are you still at this pace?"

Xue Qian walked over at some point, her questioning gaze falling on the screen that looked almost like a draft.

Jiang Ruan snapped out of her reverie, her mood clearly downcast: "I'm a little unsure how to begin writing."

“You’re capable enough not to know how to begin writing.” Xue Qian looked at her with a hint of worry in her eyes. After glancing around at the people, she lowered her voice and asked, “Is it because of President Huo?”

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

I was a little surprised at how she knew.

“Around eight o’clock, I saw President Huo come out of the lounge,” Xue Qian said truthfully. “His complexion was about the same as usual, but he had a more distant and unapproachable aura about him, as if he was angry.”

Jiang Ruan tugged at the corner of her lips.

He was still angry.

Shouldn't she be the one who's angry?

"It's getting late, so let's stop painting if we can't finish it." Xue Qian looked at her canvas, which only contained blocks of color. "I'll explain to the master tomorrow; she shouldn't say anything."

Jiang Ruan picked up her phone to check the time.

She was just spacing out for a while, how could it be late?

It's only a little past nine o'clock at this hour...

The rest of my thoughts vanished completely when I saw 00:24; my mind, which had been filled with all sorts of emotions, was instantly clear.
