Chapter 277: Peace and quiet

The house was in a mess, and Gu Ruochu no longer had the mood to eat. Huo Nanchen pinched her hand, and she came back to her senses and nodded.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I don't know. I'm just thinking."

What kind of answer was that? Huo Nanchen suddenly stopped and looked at her.

He held her soft hands tightly, and the smile on his lips became even more obvious. "If you don't know what to think, why don't you think about our wedding and plan for the honeymoon?"

"If we get married twice, won't people laugh at us?"

"Who would dare laugh at you?"

She looked up at him with a faint smile on her face. A gentle breeze brushed her hair aside. The scene was surreal.

Sometimes, Gu Ruochu felt like they were on another planet.

"I never thought that I would be with a man for the rest of my life." Gu Ruochu had a surreal sensation. Her rebirth had completely turned her fate around.

She was willing to love this cold world for him.

"Me too." He leaned forward and smiled.

Gu Ruochu's heart was calm. She held his hand and felt very safe.

"..."

Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen went out for dinner and returned at around nine o'clock in the evening.

The housekeeper and the bodyguards were still there. Mrs. Huo was personally watching Gu Yanwei and had even strip-searched her to see if she had any other USB drives on her.

However, no matter how much Mrs. Huo interrogated Gu Yanwei, she refused to admit it. She insisted that Huo Nanchen had raped her cousin, and it had nothing to do with her at all.

Gu Ruochu admired her for being so stubborn.

After some time, Huo Zhenggang returned from the office. When he entered the dining hall, he looked at Huo Nanchen with a serious expression and asked, "Nanchen, what's going on with Yanwei?"

He wore a dark-colored suit, and his coat was draped over his elbow.

His eyes were deep, and his maturity and experience were evident.

"Hmm, she might have to stay with us for a while." Huo Nanchen did not avoid the question and replied calmly. He did not expect his father, who was busy with work, to ask about this matter.

"Temporarily?" Huo Zhenggang sneered. "You've locked her up. How can this be called temporary? Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

Huo Zhenggang had been very busy and did not know what had happened. When he heard that Gu Yanwei had been held against her will, he had a terrible headache.

In the past, he could turn a blind eye to it. But now, Gu Yanwei had the Ning family behind her. Everyone knew that Chairman Ning's wife had taken Gu Yanwei as her daughter about half a month ago.

"She accused me of sleeping with another woman, and I'm supposed to let her frame me? Unless she takes the initiative to admit that she set me up, I have plenty of time to spend with her. Don't worry about it."

Huo Zhenggang laughed coldly when he heard this. "It's not because she framed you, it's because your wife almost misunderstood you, isn't it? Men should focus on greater things. What's the point of fussing over small squabbles all day long?"

Huo Nanchen did not say a word and just walked past him.

Huo Zhenggang felt a sting in his heart when he saw how cold he was. "Don't act like you don't care. Now that the Ning family is here, Yanwei is just a woman. Isn't locking her up equivalent to bullying?"

"The Ning family is here?

"It seems that they value this goddaughter." Huo Nanchen's eyes flashed with sarcasm. He raised his head and saw Gu Ruochu walk towards him with her long legs. "What's wrong?"

"The Ning family is here."
