Chapter 731: JealousTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As she was about to look over, she suddenly heard his chilly voice.
“Didn’t you just not realize you made the vow to the wrong person?”
Hmm?
Huo Chen was stunned for a moment before looking belatedly at Wen He.
And just as he looked over, Wen He had already recompose herself, and acted dumb with her eyes wide, asking in feigned confusion. “What are you looking at me for?”
For some reason, that shred of nervousness inside Huo Chen’s heart disappeared.
He turned over and continued to pacify Madam.
After some effort, he managed to calm her down.
Seeing her a little worn out, Huo Chen sent her to her room to rest before going down stairs again and called Wen He as he prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to get onto the car, he was stopped by Lu Zhaoyang who came running out of the house.
“Chen, remember what you had just said.”
Lu Zhaoyang blinked hard as she tried to wipe away the bitterness in her eyes.
She could not help but to worry for Huo Chen.
But she knew, once he set his mind on something, no one could make him waver.
She had owed Huo Chen too much, and was at a loss on how to repay him. So she could only pray that he returns safely.
His deep gaze swept past her forced smile, and Huo Chen could not help but to extend his hand out, and stroke her hair gently like he did when they were together last time.
His cold, distant expression disappeared from his handsome face, and appeared unusually gentle, his gaze was even more so, and even his tone softened much, as if he was afraid to frighten her.
“I won’t go back on my words. Never.”
“Okay…”
And just like earlier, before Lu Zhaoyang could say anything, Huo Yunting stepped forward and stood in front of her, blocking her vision.
Huo Yunting stared at Huo Chen, and said, “While I hate you for taking advantage like this, I still have to say this, you better come back alive.”
Huo Chen nodded, and kept away the emotions oozing out from his eyes, but he did not realize that Wen He had saw everything clearly.
She saw her looking at Lu Zhaoyang so lovingly for a good while before slowly retracting her gaze.
At that moment, her heart felt like it was being held in a vicious vice grip, it was so painful that even her breathing slowed down a little.
“Let’s go.”
Huo Chen looked at Wen He and noticed her face turning pale, and could not help but frown, “What’s wrong?”
Just you look at that, what a business-like att.i.tude.
Wen He looked down, as she pursed her lips.
“I’m fine.”
“Then let’s go.”
Huo Chen and Wen He got up the car in sequence, and even after the car had left quite a distance, he could still see Lu Zhaoyang’s tall and slender frame through the rear mirrior.
He sighed, and did not even noticed her expression had darkened even when she was just beside him. The usually chatty her was silent all the way, and did not utter a word.
After reaching the military district, Huo Chen got down, and said to Wen He. “You might want to get everything settled up in this next few days.”
As he finished, he left.
“Huo Chen!”
Suddenly, Wen He shouted, and when he turned over, she said. “I don’t feel like going with you to the Golden Triangle anymore.”
Huo Chen was stunned for a moment, but after a short demur, he nodded.
“That’s fine too.”
He had not wanted her to come along, as once the firefight starts, anyone could just drop dead.
And now it was Wen He’s turn to get stunned as she gawked with googly eyes. “Didn’t you say that I needed to come along? If I don’t go, aren’t you afraid that the commander may find fault with you?
“It’s up to you if you want to come along or not.” Huo Chen said as he walked away, without even turning back.
