Chapter 444 An Uncontrollable Heartbeat
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, then walked inside without responding.
Huo Zhizhou's gaze remained fixed on her until Jiang Ruan disappeared from his sight.
"Please," Tang Bai said. "You probably don't want to be carried out by security."
This time.
Huo Zhizhou rarely cooperated.
He went downstairs with Lu Ershao and Su Anran, and his heart was still pounding violently as he got into the car.
He didn't know what had happened back then.
I don't know who's telling the truth and who's lying.
But he was certain that he liked Jiang Ruan; his heartbeat confirmed it even before his memory told him.
"Zhizhou..."
Su Anran sat down.
Huo Zhizhou looked over with his dark eyes. He had changed a lot from before, and even his tone of voice was much more distant and cold: "You sit in the front."
Su Anran: "?"
Young Master Lu: "?"
The two looked at him with disbelief.
It was as if they couldn't understand how someone could have changed so drastically in less than an hour.
Seeing that she didn't move, Huo Zhizhou reached out and opened the car door, went around to the passenger side and pulled Lu Ershao down from the seat, as if he had instantly become the Huo Ershao he used to be.
"What are you doing?" Young Master Lu asked.
"You sit with her." Huo Zhizhou said this after getting into the passenger seat and fastening his seatbelt. "If you take her out in the next few days, either she sits in the front, or you two sit together."
“She’s your girlfriend,” Lu Ershao tried to reason with him. “It’s inappropriate for me to sit with her…”
"She is not." Huo Zhizhou said with certainty.
Young Master Lu was stunned.
Su Anran did not speak.
At that moment, she suddenly understood something.
Regardless of whether Huo Zhizhou met her or Jiang Ruan first, he would only ever like Jiang Ruan.
"Don't tell me you fell in love with Jiang Ruan at first sight." Young Master Lu said it naturally; he didn't believe that someone could fall in love with the same person repeatedly.
Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."
Young Master Lu glanced at Su Anran, trying his best to suppress his emotions, and pulled Huo Zhizhou back: "When did you become such a scumbag, falling in love with every girl you see?"
Huo Zhizhou did not explain.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings when Jiang Ruan appeared in his sight.
Even though he had no memory of this person, and even though his parents had told him that she was a scheming gold digger, his heart started racing uncontrollably the moment their eyes met.
He wanted to hold her in his arms.
I want to hug her, I want to kiss her.
He wanted to tell her that he loved her.
The feelings came inexplicably and overwhelmingly, yet were uncontrollable.
It's as if his existence was solely for the purpose of liking her.
"Have you considered Su Anran's feelings?" Young Master Lu lowered his voice and said to him, "Don't forget, you divorced Jiang Ruan because of her."
“I have no memory of it, so you can say whatever you want.” This was the first time Huo Zhizhou had so clearly refuted something.
Young Master Lu: "If you see an even prettier one tomorrow, will you fall in love with her again?"
"What do you think?" Huo Zhizhou asked in return.
Just as Lu Ershao was about to speak, he remembered the time he took him out to play a few days ago.
The private room was filled with all sorts of girls, including some similar to Jiang Ruan, but Huo Zhizhou didn't even glance at them, and left with the words, "You can have fun by yourself."
Since it wasn't lust at first sight.
Could it be that Huo Zhizhou has fallen for Jiang Ruan again?
But didn't he suffer from amnesia?
"I have something to do, so I won't go with you." Su Anran, sitting in the back seat, spoke up, her voice low and indicating that she was not in a good mood. "Send me your location when you get to Jiang Ruan's house, and I'll take a taxi over after I'm done with my business."
Young Master Lu tried to stop him.
Su Anran left immediately.
He had no choice but to continue playing Huo Sinian's role, and said to Huo Zhizhou, "What are you standing there for? Go chase after them."
Huo Zhizhou: "Drive."
Driver: "Okay."
Young Master Lu: "..."
Young Master Lu relented and consciously pulled open the back seat and sat down.
Seeing that Huo Zhizhou hadn't told the driver to turn around after driving a kilometer, he asked, "Are you really going to leave your girlfriend on the side of the road?"
"If your ears are useless, you can get them cut off," Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly.
“She only said she was going to take care of things because she was angry. Don’t tell me you didn’t realize it.” Lu Er continued to act according to the established script. “You’re the kind of boyfriend who treats you like this.”
Huo Zhizhou did not speak.
If Su Anran could produce anything that could prove their relationship, he would seriously consider their relationship.
But since waking up, she couldn't produce anything except for the photo in her wallet and a few temporary chat logs. Her reason was that she had just gotten a new phone and had no chat logs, and his phone had broken after the accident, so he also had no chat logs.
There were too many coincidences; it was hard for him to believe it.
Especially after seeing Jiang Ruan, his body's instincts had already given him the answer.
"I'll go see her by myself later," Huo Zhizhou changed the subject. "You can find somewhere to stay by yourself."
Young Master Lu raised his eyes, a thoughtful look in them.
He wanted to ask him if he had remembered something, but he was afraid of alerting him.
“Brother Si Nian told me to take good care of you.” Lu Er consciously changed his form of address to avoid giving himself away. “You’re going to a place where you don’t know anyone. What if you get scammed?”
Huo Zhizhou glanced at him sideways.
He didn't say a word.
Jiang Ruan only learned that Huo Zhizhou was planning to visit her home through Tang Bai and Mo Mo.
"What were the exact words?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"Lu Yi said to wait at her house," Mo Mo repeated.
Jiang Ruan pressed her hand to her forehead, a thoughtful and solemn expression crossing her face.
Tang Bai asked, "Are you worried about Sui Sui?"
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
Even now, Sui Sui still doesn't know that Huo Zhizhou has lost his memory and forgotten everyone.
If Huo Zhizhou leaves.
It'll definitely give itself away.
“Sui Sui’s ability to accept things is stronger than you think,” Tang Bai comforted her, not wanting her to be too anxious. “Even if he knows that Huo Zhizhou has amnesia, he won’t have too many emotional fluctuations.”
Judging from today's events, Huo Zhizhou's emotions are relatively stable.
The personality before and after amnesia is slightly different, but not by much.
"Knock knock".
"Boss, one of the people who just came here is here again. They say they have something important to discuss with you."
The receptionist said at the door.
Tang Bai opened the door: "Man or woman?"
Receptionist: "Woman."
Tang Bai looked at Jiang Ruan; this matter was up to her to make the decision.
Jiang Ruan thought about the person she had seen out of the corner of her eye at the door, and after much consideration, she finally spoke up: "Let her in."
Tang Bai and Mo Mo exchanged a glance.
No one interrupted.
The two stood on either side of Jiang Ruan behind her, in a protective posture.
When Su Anran came in, she didn't pay much attention to the two of them; her eyes were only on the capable and efficient Jiang Ruan.
It's only been a few months.
Jiang Ruan is so different from before.
"What do you want?" Jiang Ruan got straight to the point. Unlike her usual coldness, she now displayed more of the composure and calmness of a boss.
Imperceptibly, it also exudes a sense of decisiveness and the aura of someone in a superior position.
"Explain why I'm here with Huo Zhizhou," Su Anran said directly, without mincing words, "and my relationship with him."
Jiang Ruan didn't respond.
We await the rest of her story.
Su Anran told Huo Sinian that he had asked her to play Huo Zhizhou's first love, and also told her the story he had made up.
