Chapter 536 You Caused This Yourself

"I'm sorry." Huo Zhizhou tightened his grip on her slightly.

He was just too angry.

She was angry that she gave up on him without hesitation.

She was furious that she resolutely took Sui Sui and left.

He didn't know how to keep her, so he resorted to such despicable means to make her submit.

She was wrong.

"If you really feel sorry, then don't bother me." Jiang Ruan struggled a bit but couldn't push him away. "The best compensation for me is for each of us to live our own lives peacefully."

Huo Zhizhou was reluctant: "Ruanruan."

Jiang Ruan: "Let go."

Huo Zhizhou did not loosen his grip.

Having finally managed to see her, he didn't want to part ways with her like this.

Jiang Ruan couldn't break free; her entire body was restrained and she couldn't move an inch.

"You have no idea how I've been these past few days." Huo Zhizhou rested his chin on her shoulder, his head close to hers, his voice hoarse. "I miss you every day, but I'm afraid you'll hate me, so I don't dare to come to you."

"I was wrong in the past, and I am willing to apologize and make amends. You can treat me however you want."

"Let go first," Jiang Ruan said.

Huo Zhizhou remained silent for a moment.

Finally, he said, "Okay."

He released her, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.

He was going crazy missing her.

“All your current happiness and unhappiness are of your own making,” Jiang Ruan pointed out bluntly, without the slightest leniency. “It has nothing to do with me.”

Huo Zhizhou: "I know."

“If you really love me and still care about me, then don’t bother me,” Jiang Ruan said. “Otherwise, your so-called care and love are just to satisfy your own selfish desires.”

True love should be about wanting the best for the other person, shouldn't it?

But she didn't want to see him, didn't want to reconcile with him, and even less did she want to remarry him.

"Don't try to argue or deny it. If you love me, you should prioritize my thoughts and feelings," Jiang Ruan analyzed soberly, "instead of using this as an excuse to do things that upset me."

Huo Zhizhou remained silent.

Looking at the cold and aloof Ruan Ruan in front of her, who was completely different from before, she felt a sting in her chest.

His thin lips pressed into a straight line: "You really don't want to see me?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou: "You hate me that much?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Huo Zhizhou swallowed back all the words he was about to say, standing there as if abandoned, surrounded by a heavy sense of silence.

He looked at Jiang Ruan, his eyes filled with struggle and complex emotions.

"Do you regret being with me?"

This time, it was Jiang Ruan's turn to remain silent.

Huo Zhizhou has been very good to her since they got married five years ago; he is gentle, meticulous, patient, and romantic.

Both she and Sui Sui thought he was a good person.

A divorce is a divorce, and it cannot be erased.

"No regrets." She concluded that marriage was her own choice, "but there won't be a second time."

The words fell.

Mo Mo walked in.

"Boss." He greeted people with the same emotionless tone as before, but a closer look would reveal a deep sadness hidden in his eyes.

Jiang Ruan: "Let's go home."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo left.

Huo Zhizhou watched her leave, and he remained standing there until she disappeared into the lounge.

A short while later.

Assistant Jiang and Lin Bei and the others came in.

Lin Bei was the first to ask, "How did your talk with Miss Jiang go?"

Lin Feng: "It's definitely not good."

Lin Bei: "..."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Lin Feng said in a serious tone, "If it were good, the BOSS would have left with Miss Jiang just now."

“Sometimes, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak,” Lin Bei said through gritted teeth. “Can't you just pretend you didn't hear me?”

Lin Feng wanted to say something more.

Lin Bei gave him a look.

This made Lin Feng very unhappy, even though he was the older brother!

Seeing the two brothers glaring at each other, Jiang Yu sighed silently and asked Huo Zhizhou, "What are your plans for the future?"

“She doesn’t want to see me,” Huo Zhizhou said.

“That… is normal.” Assistant Jiang said this with a forced smile. “What you did back then hurt Miss Jiang a lot. She probably has psychological trauma from it.”

Huo Zhizhou knew.

But he has no intention of giving up on her.

If appearing before her was selfish of him, then he should be selfish one more time.

"How does Chairman Li manage to make his presence felt in front of Mom every day?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Jiang's Special Assistant: "Shameless."

Huo Zhizhou: "Understood."

——

On the way back, only Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo were in the car.

Tonight's events did not have any psychological impact on Jiang Ruan.

Before this, she had always thought that she still had some lingering feelings for Huo Zhizhou. When she learned what Huo Cheng had done to her, she was even more worried that he would not be able to get over it. But after what just happened, she was certain that she no longer loved him.

I don't love it at all anymore.

If I had to pinpoint any remaining feelings, it would be that he was Sui Sui's father, and they had once been husband and wife.

One hour later.

Jiang Ruan arrived home.

As soon as she got out of the car, Mo Mo called out to her, "Boss."

Jiang Ruan turned her head and asked, "Hmm?"

"Here, take this and return it to Tang Bai for me." Mo Mo handed her the bank card Tang Bai had given her, a complex mix of emotions, including loneliness, appearing on her face for the first time.

Jiang Ruan paused, glanced at it, and didn't take it: "Aren't you short of money?"

"We don't need it anymore," Mo Mo said lightly.

Jiang Ruan noticed that something was wrong with him and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Mo Mo remained silent.

His mind was filled with the investigation data Jiang Yu had given him.

“Tell me what’s wrong, and we’ll solve it together.” Jiang Ruan had never seen him like this before, so she knew that something was wrong with him.

"boss."

Mo Mo uttered a muffled sound.

Jiang Ruan asked him with concern, "Go ahead and say it."

Mo Mo looked up, her eyes a little red, but she forced herself to hold it in and didn't show it too obviously: "Can I ask for a few days off? I want to go back to my hometown."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Jiang Ruan asked, a little worried.

"No need," Mo Mo said, her voice a little hoarse. "I can manage on my own."

After saying that.

He placed the card in Jiang Ruan's hand.

He took two steps inside, then turned around as if remembering something: "I'll be back in a week at most, you don't need to worry."

"Okay." Jiang Ruan didn't ask any further questions.

"Thank you," Mo Mo said before going into her room.

Jiang Ruan didn't know what had happened to him; he didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't feel comfortable asking.

After she went inside.

Sui Sui, who was with Jiang An, looked at her and asked with some concern, "Mommy, why does Uncle Mo look a little unhappy?"

Jiang Ruan looked towards the room where Mo Mo was.

After a moment of silence, he gave an answer: "He misses home."

Several question marks popped into Sui Sui's head.

Why didn't I go home for the Chinese New Year?

Jiang Ruan walked over and sat down next to him. Just as she was about to hug him, she saw Sui Sui sniff her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan asked, a little puzzled.

"Did you see your dad today?" Sui Sui's eyes were bright and round, with clear black and white.

Jiang An looked over.

Grandpa Qin also moved his position slightly in this direction.

Jiang Ruan's head was filled with question marks: "How...how did you know?"
