Chapter 726 They've already hugged, is that still possible?

Huo Zhizhou looked at her with eyes full of guilt.

Jiang Ruan adjusted her breathing and said to him with mixed emotions, "Their self-inflicted injury scheme is quite effective."

Huo Zhizhou paused.

It's rare that I didn't understand what Jiang Ruan meant.

"Huo Zhizhou," Jiang Ruan looked at him, "would you like to come back to Haicheng with us?"

want.

This was Huo Zhizhou's first reaction.

But he controlled himself, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions: "I said last time, if you say something like that again, I'll take it as you being willing to accept any means I use to pursue you."

He knew all too well what he would do to get what he wanted.

They use everything.

He drove away anything that posed a threat to him.

“You’re still emotional right now, and I don’t want you to make an impulsive decision.” Huo Zhizhou once again cut off his own hopes, “and I don’t want you to regret it.”

When emotions run high, it's too easy to make the wrong decisions.

Letting him return to Haicheng would affect her entire life.

He hoped she would be more rational.

"Should we take it back?" Jiang Ruan didn't explain, she just asked.

Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything, picked up the nutritional meal next to him and started eating.

He forced himself to ignore the noise around him.

Ignore everything.

If he listened any longer, he would be unable to suppress the beast raging in his chest.

But Jiang Ruan's voice was too clear. Even though he tried his best to ignore it, it kept echoing in his mind, tempting his reason to break free from its shackles and control.

"Let Jiang Yu and the others arrange it if we want to go back." Jiang Ruan's voice rang out again. "Sui Sui and I will go back to Haicheng the day after tomorrow night."

This was followed by a long silence.

Huo Zhizhou stopped eating.

He just looked at her and asked, "Why?"

Why did he say that again after he had already emphasized it?

Why did you suddenly agree to let him go back?

Why give him hope again?

“You can interpret this as Huo Sinian’s self-inflicted injury being very effective,” Jiang Ruan confessed. “I can’t accept your death, I can’t bear to see you living such a painful life.”

"But you knew perfectly well that this was a ruse." Huo Zhizhou's voice was low and hoarse.

Jiang Ruan: "But this self-inflicted injury was not your design."

If Huo Zhizhou orchestrated all of this, she would be disgusted.

Even if she witnessed his death, she would only distance herself from him afterward.

She dislikes scheming.

I don't like being manipulated.

But Huo Zhizhou did not do it. He knew nothing about it and even despised such behavior and practices.

"You can think it over carefully, and send me a message when you've made up your mind." Jiang Ruan stood up as she spoke, making it clear that she didn't intend to linger there. "I have something to attend to first."

"Wait." Huo Zhizhou reached out and grabbed her, putting down the lunchbox he was holding.

Jiang Ruan stopped.

A distant, calm glance.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes held a deep, suppressed emotion: "I'll double-check one last time."

Jiang Ruan: "You go ahead."

Huo Zhizhou: "Were those your true feelings just now?"

Jiang Ruan paused for two seconds before answering, "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou tightened his grip on her wrist little by little: "What are your true feelings when you're thinking rationally?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Huo Zhizhou's heart pounded uncontrollably: "No regrets?"

"You're very long-winded," Jiang Ruan commented.

“Without rambling on, there’s no direction.” Huo Zhizhou faced his own heart, his churning emotions almost overwhelming him. “I don’t want you to regret it, and I don’t want my hopes to be dashed.”

He had been waiting for this for too long.

It's been suppressed for too long.

His fluctuating emotions made him very mentally unstable.

“You know exactly what I’ll do after giving you hope.” Huo Zhizhou’s voice was low and husky as he looked directly at her. “I will do anything, I will pester you, and I will drive away all your suitors.”

Jiang Ruan looked at him.

My heart is surging with emotions.

In the past, he would have seized this only opportunity and started to act recklessly, but now he repeatedly tells her the consequences.

perhaps……

He has really changed.

They will no longer be as autocratic and self-centered as before.

"Mmm," she replied.

"Have you thought it through?" Huo Zhizhou stared at her, not missing a single emotion from her.

He's thought it all out.

If there was any hesitation or doubt in her eyes, he would let her go and give her another chance to regret it.

He didn't want her to force herself.

I don't want her to be unhappy.

After all, he owed her far too much.

"I've thought this through very clearly," Jiang Ruan said. "But you, don't misunderstand."

Huo Zhizhou: "What?"

Jiang Ruan: "I was just asking if you're going back to Haicheng, not asking if I want to remarry you."

Huo Zhizhou: "I know."

Jiang Ruan: "It's not that I forgive you."

Huo Zhizhou: "I know."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay, that's fine then."

After saying that, she lowered her eyes to look at his hand that was tightly gripping her wrist, and said lightly with her pale lips, "Aren't you going to let go?"

Huo Zhizhou's lips curved into a smile, and the joy in his eyes was uncontrollable.

The next second.

While Jiang Ruan was puzzled, he pulled her into his arms.

Before she could react, he hugged her tightly.

He was very strong, and because he was afraid of losing her, he gradually increased the strength of his embrace until he could fully feel her warmth and presence, and only then did his still suppressed heart get a moment's respite.

Jiang Ruan was about to speak.

Huo Zhizhou's voice came first.

"Soft."

His voice was tender and lingering, the echo still ringing in her ears. As if that wasn't enough, he buried his chin in her neck and rubbed his cheek against hers.

He craved her embrace.

I miss her warmth and scent.

I miss the way she looked at me.

"I missed you so much." He held her in his arms, the familiar, fresh scent between his noses instantly relieving his tense body and mind. "I really...missed you so much."

Dream.

Lost in thought.

I think about it every moment, whether I'm conscious or not.

He was going crazy thinking about it.

Jiang Ruan's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't push him away and let him hug her.

"Thank you." Huo Zhizhou's voice was low, magnetic, and husky, full of longing and affection.

Jiang Ruan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged him.

It's not forgiveness.

It's not about letting go.

I just wanted to hug Huo Zhizhou at this moment.

Feeling her response, Huo Zhizhou's heart was racing again. His mind was filled with joy and happiness, and emotions spread to every part of his body, making his future free of any gloom.

This scene was clearly seen by the people standing in a row at the door.

Lin Bei: "Have they made up?"

Jiang's Special Assistant: "Possibly."

Lin Bei: "If you've already hugged them, is that still possible?"

Mo Mo: "They didn't make up."

Sui Sui: "Yes."

Lin Beijiang's assistants all turned their heads in unison, their gazes landing squarely on Sui Sui: "Why?"

Sui Sui: "Mommy just raised her hand and didn't change her body posture. If they make up completely, they will adjust their posture and hug each other happily."

Mo Mo continued, "Compared to making up, the boss raising his hand is more like petting a wagging puppy."

Lin Bei: "..."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Is it really okay to say that?

"Then why did they hug for so long?" Lin Bei still favored that they reconcile. "Given Miss Jiang's temper, if she didn't like it, she would have pushed the BOSS away long ago."

Mo Mo explained, "You can understand it as the boss being afraid the puppy will be stressed."

Lin Bei: "?"

What the heck?

Mo Mo: "I'll go call them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Mo was pulled back by Lin Feng and Lin Bei.

Mo Mo turned around, her gaze falling on their hands.

"The BOSS and Miss Jiang finally managed to have a few words in peace, so it's best if we don't disturb them," Assistant Jiang kindly advised from the side.

Mo Mo was about to retort.

Sui Sui chimed in, "Yes."
