Chapter 690 Huo Zhizhou's Considerations

"I don't have any plans." Jiang Ruan tends to let things take their natural course. "Now that he's alright, I don't need to worry too much, especially since Sui Sui might already know."

Since Sui Sui knew, she didn't need to go to great lengths to hide it.

He didn't call to ask her, probably because he had his own plans.

"What if he uses this trick again later?" This was what Su Zhu was more worried about.

Now that both of them are single, it's understandable that Huo Zhizhou would use this tactic.

At most, you could call him despicable.

But what if Ruan Ruan has a new relationship in the future and he still acts like this?

"I will talk to him and make things clear." Jiang Ruan had thought about this issue. "I won't let this happen."

Su Zhu: "Are you worried?"

Jiang Ruan was taken aback: "What are you worried about?"

Su Zhu: "I'm worried about Huo Zhizhou's situation, just like Huo Sinian told you."

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment.

Follow your heart and answer truthfully: "It would be a lie to say I'm not worried."

Emotions are complex; people who were once inseparable and could talk about anything can't be purely hated.

The complex emotions she felt were something she couldn't quite explain.

However, she is now certain that she will no longer regard him as her only one, nor as a very important pillar in her life. She has her own life now.

"How many days do you plan to stay here?" Su Zhu asked.

"Seven or eight days, I guess," Jiang Ruan said truthfully.

Su Zhu was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Ruan had her own considerations: "I'll talk things over with him tomorrow, and then let Sui Sui get to know him better. The two of them haven't seen each other for so long and miss each other."

"And you?" Su Zhu asked.

"Let's take a look at the situation here," Jiang Ruan said. "If it's suitable, we'll further develop the businesses we have."

Upon hearing this...

Su Zhu was immediately relieved.

"You go ahead with your work tomorrow. I'll call you after I finish talking with Huo Zhizhou." Jiang Ruan didn't like her arrival disrupting other people's plans and arrangements, even if that person was her best friend.

After careful consideration, Su Zhu agreed: "Okay."

After the call ended, Jiang Ruan sent Sui Sui a "Goodnight, baby" message and then put down her phone to go to sleep.

But strangely enough...

I have insomnia.

My mind was completely blank.

I want to sleep but can't fall asleep.

Huo Zhizhou was also suffering from insomnia. Lying on the bed, he knew very well that this was likely the last time he would see Ruan Ruan. After they finished talking, they would go their separate ways.

But a voice inside him told him he couldn't leave.

Huo Zhizhou rubbed his tired brow.

I tried to suppress those emotions.

But my thoughts were too jumbled and my emotions too intense, so all my previous methods failed me at this moment.

Thinking about this...

He decided to get up and go downstairs for a walk.

After walking a few steps, I saw Jiang Yuzheng standing on the only way out.

He paused for a moment, and dressed in his pajamas, he appeared less aloof and more approachable than usual: "Why aren't you asleep?"

Jiang Yu: "Waiting for you."

Huo Zhizhou slightly raised his eyes: "Wait for me?"

“I know you can’t sleep tonight and need someone to talk to.” Assistant Jiang spoke seriously and sincerely. “If you don’t mind, I can be your listener.”

Huo Zhizhou initially wanted to refuse, but changed his mind before he could finish: "Let's go, let's take a walk together."

The two strolled in the garden lawn.

At first, neither of them spoke; they simply walked in silence.

until--

“If you can’t bear to part with Miss Jiang, you can tell her your true feelings.” After spending time with her and observing her today, Assistant Jiang knew that Jiang Ruan was not the same as before. “She is not as fragile as you think.”

Huo Zhizhou: "I know."

Ruan Ruan is now very stable inside, and her personality has grown a lot.

She no longer needs him.

She did what she had said to him.

“You can also pursue her,” Assistant Jiang said.

Huo Zhizhou did not speak.

Ruan Ruan wouldn't give him a chance to pursue her.

Unless she has feelings for someone, any pursuit she receives will be a nuisance. She will be annoyed and displeased by it, and will feel repulsed by the other person's behavior.

She disliked him and loathed him.

If he pursues her, he will only make her unhappy.

“Miss Jiang has changed a lot recently, and you can try to change some of your own.” After careful consideration, Assistant Jiang said these words to him, “Take it one step at a time, slowly.”

Huo Zhizhou remained silent, simply continuing to walk forward.

He knows his personality too well.

He can't do it slowly.

"Jiang Yu".

"Please speak."

"After Ruan Ruan leaves this time, no matter what happens afterward, you must not tell her or Sui Sui about my situation," Huo Zhizhou instructed him. "Even if I'm about to die."

Jiang paused in his steps.

She glanced at him instinctively.

“I don’t want the same thing to happen again, since she’s come all this way.” Huo Zhizhou stopped and looked at the moonlight reflection in the pool. “She has a lot on her own to do, and I shouldn’t let her waste her time on someone as insignificant as me.”

Jiang Yu tried to pull him back to reality: "If you were insignificant, Miss Jiang wouldn't have come over."

Huo Zhizhou saw it clearly: "She came here only because I am Sui Sui's father, and because I once saved her in Li Chengxuan's matter."

He knew his own Ruan Ruan's personality and temperament well.

If it were just based on feelings, she wouldn't even have considered coming over.

Not to mention putting it into action.

“This is just your guess,” Assistant Jiang said, not wanting him to be so pessimistic. “What if Miss Jiang still has feelings for you?”

Huo Zhizhou: "Whether it's over or not, you know it in your heart too."

Assistant Jiang wanted to say something insincere to comfort him.

Huo Zhizhou looked up at the cold moon in the sky and said, "She has a stubborn personality and it's impossible for her to forget what happened back then."

Jiang's Special Assistant: "You also have your reasons."

Huo Zhizhou: "She shouldn't have to suffer the pain that caused me so much distress."

In short.

Jiang Yu fell silent.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in my chest.

Looking at this fragile person in front of me, who seemed so vulnerable that she could break at the slightest touch, a multitude of thoughts raced through my mind.

If the boss had understood this principle from the beginning, wouldn't he have avoided all those events?

But the boss's family background meant there were many things he couldn't understand.

Aside from what is taught in school and guided by parents, the rest of life's lessons can only be gradually understood by oneself. However, some truths can only be grasped after going through trials and tribulations.

“If you don’t agree, I’ll contact someone else in a few days to help me leave here.” Huo Zhizhou brought the topic back to what had just happened. “You go back to Jingzhou with Lin Bei and Lin Feng, and I’ll transfer the money to your accounts.”

“I agree,” Assistant Jiang replied.

Huo Zhizhou looked at him: "You really agree?"

Assistant Jiang: "Hmm."

Huo Zhizhou looked at him.

Assistant Jiang knew what he was thinking: "It won't be like before."

Hearing this, Huo Zhizhou knew he was serious, and he was relieved.

“However…” After much consideration, Assistant Jiang finally voiced his concerns, “Lin Bei and Lin Feng might not be able to do it; they’ve always been rather soft-hearted.”
