Chapter 196: not knowing what's good for you

Wang Xin felt a little embarrassed after being rejected by Gu Ruochu.

The sadness and sorrow that he had felt before had completely disappeared. All that was left was Gu Ruochu's indifferent attitude.

Now that she had hooked up with some old man, she no longer put him in her eyes.

Huo Nanchen suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Ruochu's wrist. He gently pulled her into his arms and stared straight at Wang Xin. His handsome face was expressionless.

He sized up Wang Xin.

"Sir, your car is blocking my way."

Wang Xin was surprised to see a man suddenly appear in front of him. The man had a dark and indifferent face. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was Huo Nanchen.

'Huo... What is he doing here?'

He remembered he was at the Crimson clubhouse. It would not be strange if he bumped into him.

He still remembered the last time he had seen Huo Nanchen. It was at a business banquet. He had taken a few glances from afar.

The rumors about him made Wang Xin a little excited, and even more frightened. He no longer had the mood to care about Gu Ruochu.

"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. I'll drive away now." Wang Xin immediately got into his car and backed up. He then drove off swiftly and completely disappeared from their sight.

"Let's go. You're driving." Gu Ruochu averted her gaze and walked around him. She opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Huo Nanchen sat in the driver's seat. He did not drive but stared at her. "He's just an ex-boyfriend. Did you have to talk for such a long time with him? What's there to be nostalgic about a man like him?"

He stared at her and waited to see if there would be any trace of nostalgia on her face.

Gu Ruochu did not know the reason for his jealous expression. Was it because of his possessiveness?

"If I keep avoiding him, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get rid of him. Perhaps, Wang Xin will fall into a narcissistic state and get into trouble. Instead of this, I might as clear up everything now."

Although this was Gu Ruochu's first time meeting Wang Xin, she could sense that his mind was not clear. Furthermore, his inexplicable sense of superiority made her feel a little disgusted.

"Is that so?"

"Could it be you have already mentally prepared yourself to be cuckolded?" Gu Ruochu scoffed. The emotions in her eyes were impassive.

"Ruochu." He suddenly turned sideways and hugged her. "Ruochu..."

"Why do you always call out my name?" Gu Ruochu no longer wanted to listen to him. She quietly leaned against the car window.

Every time he called her, her heart would tremble. She hated this feeling.

"It doesn't matter if I love you or not. You can't escape. Besides, you're Mrs. Huo now."

Huo Nanchen only saw her as Mrs. Huo. The person he doted on and spoke sweet nothings to was his wife, but nothing else. He did not see her as having her own personality.

How could she have had the naive idea of spending her life with him?

She had been an idiot!

Huo Nanchen had brought up some raw emotions in her. Luckily, she had not fallen for him.

"I understand. I will abide by the rules of a married woman. Can I go home now? I'm very tired."

Huo Nanchen heard her perfunctory tone. However, he assumed that her bad attitude was caused by her fatigue. She would be in a better mood after she had some time to rest.

When the arrived at the Huo residence, Gu Ruochu went straight upstairs. When she came out of the shower and saw Huo Nanchen at the head of the bed, she remembered that he would be sleeping next to her.

"The weather isn't too good today." Gu Ruochu had a serious look on her face as she peered through the window. She sat by the side of the bed. "I feel a little cold. I'd better take out two blankets to cover me."

Huo Nanchen understood that she did not want to sleep beside him. His face turned completely dark.
