Chapter 327 Jiang Ruan said she didn't trust him

"Are you alright?" Huo Zhizhou strode over, his eyes filled with undisguised worry.

Jiang Ruan was picking out a coat she liked, looking completely bewildered: "Huh?"

"Gu Shixi said Li Chengxuan came with you," Huo Zhizhou explained to her, not wanting her to misunderstand, "I'm afraid he might do something dangerous for you."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Didn't Li Chengxuan leave?

Just as she was about to say this, the door outside was suddenly closed.

"Bang!"

The sound was very loud.

Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly and walked over to pull the doorknob.

"The door belongs to Lin Beiguan." A figure flashed by outside, but Jiang Ruan still managed to see it.

Huo Zhizhou paused in his grip on the doorknob, and a hint of emotion flickered in his eyes as he looked at her.

He wanted to explain.

But I don't know if Jiang Ruan will believe it.

“I know it has nothing to do with you.” Jiang Ruan knew him well and knew he wouldn’t do something so scheming. “They probably wanted to reconcile me and you, and they played a little trick.”

"Then are you willing?" Huo Zhizhou asked, seizing the opportunity.

Jiang Ruan answered without hesitation: "I don't want to."

Huo Zhizhou's gaze was still fixed on her: "Not even a little bit?"

Jiang Ruan: "Not at all."

Huo Zhizhou already knew this was the answer, but hearing it with his own ears still left him with mixed feelings.

Jiang Ruan picked out a coat in a similar color to the one she had just changed into under the room's light. Her emotions were so calm that there was no fluctuation at all. She said very calmly, "Call them and ask them to open the door. Sui Sui will get anxious if she waits too long."

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

I took out my phone but found there was no signal.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Ruan asked, "What's wrong?"

“They must have tampered with it beforehand.” Huo Zhizhou’s brows furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected Gu Shixi to be so quick-witted. “No signal.”

Jiang Ruan took out her phone to look.

No.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Lin Bei was very satisfied with his masterpiece. Just as he was about to call Gu Shixi to tell him about his achievement, he saw Assistant Jiang coming this way.

He quickly went over to prevent him from doing anything wrong.

"Have you seen the BOSS and Miss Jiang?" Assistant Jiang was getting a little anxious because he couldn't get through on the phone.

"It's inside," Lin Bei said, pointing to the walk-in closet.

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Jiang's assistant instinctively walked in that direction.

Lin Bei pulled him back, frowning as he looked at him: "What are you going to do?"

Assistant Jiang answered honestly: "Find the BOSS."

"The boss and Miss Jiang have something to discuss." Lin Bei pulled him towards the elevator, taking away Huo Zhizhou's last hope. "Why are you going to join in? If you ruin the boss and Miss Jiang's good time, can you take responsibility?"

"We can't get through to the boss on his phone," Assistant Jiang explained, fearing he might not understand the seriousness of the situation.

"Guess why you can't get through?" Lin Bei gave him a meaningful look.

Jiang's assistant paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Huo Zhizhou: "Lin Bei and I are downstairs. Please let us know if you need anything."

Lin Bei saw it, coughed lightly and pretended nothing had happened. He knew very well that after the BOSS came out, he and President Gu would be punished, but for his and Miss Jiang's happiness, he was willing to risk it.

"Why do you look so strange?" Assistant Jiang asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Lin Bei: "Really?"

Jiang's assistant: "It's a bit poor."

Lin Bei: "I was too tactless and followed them in, and the BOSS glared at me."

A knowing glint flashed in Jiang's eyes.

Lin Bei, remembering there was still something he hadn't done, rolled his eyes and clutched his stomach, saying, "Do you know where the restroom is? My stomach hurts."

"Turn left, then left again, then right." Assistant Jiang had memorized the map and naturally knew the location of every place.

"I'll go first, you wait for the BOSS over there." Lin Bei looked uncomfortable and started running. After finding the emergency exit, he quickly ran to the second floor and stuffed the note in his pocket into the changing room.

He even knocked on the door twice, just in case Huo Zhizhou didn't know.

By the time Huo Zhizhou received the note, the person had already disappeared.

"Please rest assured, Miss Jiang, we will give the young master a proper reply and will not let him worry."

"Sit down and rest." Huo Zhizhou crumpled the note into a ball. "I'll figure out a way to open the door."

If Jiang Ruan hadn't trusted him enough, even with a thousand reasons and witnesses, they wouldn't have been able to clear his name today, whether it was the timing of closing the door, the room without a signal, or this note.

They all seem too much like his scheme.

"No need." Jiang Ruan knew their purpose and didn't want to go through all that trouble. "Someone will come to open it in a little while."

Huo Zhizhou said, "It will probably take more than an hour for them to open."

Jiang Ruan: "No need."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Looking at the lawn outside the French windows, Jiang Ruan calmly said, "Chairman Li will be the first to come looking for me."

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Li Zhishen was definitely the first person to come looking for her when she disappeared with Huo Zhizhou. One reason was that he didn't want Huo Zhizhou to bother her, and the other was that he was worried about her, his "daughter."

"That's true." Huo Zhizhou agreed. "He cares about you quite a bit."

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

She found a seat and sat down, not wanting to waste her time.

The two remained silent for about five minutes before Huo Zhizhou walked over and sat down opposite her: "Ruan Ruan."

Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.

"Am I a failure in your eyes?" Huo Zhizhou asked, wanting to know what problems still existed between them and what he needed to change.

It was because of Su Anran before, but Su Anran has been removed from their group, and such a situation will not occur again in the future.

So what is the reason she doesn't want to be with me?

“It’s not a complete failure, you just made some mistakes. Before you made those mistakes, you were a perfect husband and father.” Jiang Ruan said to him calmly, her eyes filled with a complex emotion that she herself couldn’t describe. “I can’t find anyone better than you.”

No one pays as much attention to her emotions as Huo Zhizhou does.

He understood that she was being insincere and saying things she didn't mean. During those times, he was emotionally stable, as if his world only had the capacity to love.

If it weren't for Su Anran's incident, she would never have known that Huo Zhizhou had another side to him.

"Since I'm so good to you, why don't you want to remarry me at all?" This was what Huo Zhizhou couldn't understand the most. "Is it because you don't like me anymore?"

It's okay if you don't like it.

He could pursue her again and win her back.

"It's not that I don't like it," Jiang Ruan confessed to him, in a rare heart-to-heart talk after several divorces, "it's that I'm afraid to."

Huo Zhizhou felt a tightness in his chest.

Jiang Ruan took a deep breath and looked out the window, her throat dry: "I know you love me, and I know you will still treat me well after we remarry, but I also know how far you are willing to go to achieve your goals."

"I will change," Huo Zhizhou said.

“I don’t trust you.” Jiang Ruan blurted out, looking into his eyes.
