Chapter 110 could not be directed

After they had quarreled, Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen tacitly ignored each other. On the way back, the two of them did not say a word to each other.

It was only when the car stopped at the entrance of the Huo residence that Gu Ruochu broke the tense atmosphere.

"When do you plan to return from your international business trip?"

Huo Nanchen ignored her and did not unlock the car door to let her out. He only lit a cigarette.

They sat silently in the car.

Smoke swirled around Huo Nanchen's fingertips and the light in his eyes grew deeper.

Gu Ruochu unintentionally met his deep, dark eyes. Huo Nanchen averted his gaze and looked away.

She had never been able to guess his thoughts.

"Unlock the car! I want to get out."

He furrowed his brows at her as he thought of the aura emanating from her body. An indescribable, raging emotion rose in his heart. Sometimes when he was with her, he seemed unable to control his restless feelings.

He unlocked the car and let her get out.

Huo Nanchen's mind flashed back to the words she had said a while back. "Huo Nanchen, perhaps we will really be separated in the future."

He felt that he was no longer in control of their marriage.

However, as long as they were still together, he continue to act as her husband. And maybe one day she would be his...

Gu Ruochu got out of the car and thought that he would talk to her. However, as soon as she had alighted the vehicle, he drove away coldly.

An indescribable feeling crept into her heart. She watched as he left without showing any emotion on his face.

Forget it! If he left her, it would save her the trouble of changing her emotions because of a man.

"Ruochu, you're back?" Mrs. Huo saw that Gu Ruochu had returned and ordered the servants to start preparing a meal.

"Sister-in-law."

Huo Zirui had been away for a few days. However, when the youngest brother in the Huo family returned, he realized that Gu Yanwei had been chased away. Even Huo Jingjing and Huo Zijun had suffered as well.

The team had been wiped out!

Huo Zirui's impression of his sister-in-law had been refreshed once again.

Mrs. Huo saw Gu Ruochu's expression and knew that she must have quarreled with Huo Nanchen. "Ruochu, has Nanchen left? Did he tell you when he would be back?"

Gu Ruochu nodded. "He just left. He didn't tell me when he would be back."

Her answer confirmed Mrs. Huo's suspicions.

Gu Ruochu did not notice anything strange about Mrs. Huo. She only wanted to go upstairs and wash her face. "Mother, I'll be going up first."

"Okay, come down for dinner later."

Mrs. Huo was worried once she learned that they had quarreled.

"Nanchen is going to a foreign country and he didn't say a word to Gu Ruochu. He doesn't know how to coax his wife!"

"Mom, weren't you calm earlier? Why are you so worried now? It's okay. Remember the saying, 'Fight at the head of the bed and make peace at the end of the bed.' You don't have to worry about them." Huo Zirui sat at the dining table, casually waiting for dinner.

Make peace? How could she make peace without Nanchen?

"How can I not be anxious? This is related to your brother's lifelong happiness!" Mrs. Huo panicked and blurted out her next words. "Why don't we try drugging her?"

When he heard his mother's words, Huo Zirui was shocked and almost fell off the stool. He wanted to jump several meters away.

"Mom, don't do this! My brother said he would hurt anyone who drugged my sister-in-law!"

Huo Zijun felt his legs tremble when he thought of his brother's tone and expression. Mrs. Huo tried her best to hold back her rolling eyes. "I'm not drugging your sister-in-law, I'm drugging your brother!"

"Mom. Are you really going to drug your own biological son?"

Mrs. Huo's voice was calm. "Your brother is indeed my biological son. You're the only one who was picked up from the trash. I was afraid that you would be too embarrassed to say it."
