Inexplicably, Nuannuan’s words surfaced in Che Huan’s mind, "Sister Huanhuan, what kind of man do you like?"
Che Huan quickly diverted her gaze, sitting there with a wave of dizziness and heat washing over her body.
Huo Jinnan withdrew his gaze and looked towards the private room manager, his lips pressed into a thin, cold line.
Understanding his cue, the room manager took out his phone and stepped aside, "Don’t let Mr. Gu in."
Che Huan sat uncomfortably by the side, fearing that Gu Jizhou might suddenly burst in—which would make things irrevocably complicated and might even implicate him.
Glancing in Huo Jinnan’s direction, she stood up and walked towards the room manager, asking in a low voice, "Is there a restroom in this private room?"
The private room manager pointed politely in a direction, "Miss Che, over there."
Che Huan said "thank you" and quickly entered, locking the door behind her. She stood in front of the washbasin mirror, splashing her face with cold water as she stared at her own reflection.
For reasons she couldn’t explain, just knowing that Gu Jizhou was outside made her feel inexplicably guilty!
Suddenly, her gaze froze, staring at the restroom door that had just opened, and the man who was stepping closer from behind!
Huo Jinnan approached, his palm casually resting on her shoulder.
"..."
With a swift move, Huo Jinnan turned her around, lifted her, and placed her on the washbasin, his voice seductive and enigmatic, "Stay with , and I can help you get a divorce, and protect those you want to protect."
What... what did he say?
Che Huan looked up at Huo Jinnan, her head spinning violently and her ears ringing loudly.
Huo Jinnan raised his hand, his slender fingers caressing her cheek, "I’ll give you half a month to think about it."
Divorce?
Protect those she wished to protect?
Such a tempting offer!
But what did she have that he could possibly desire?
This thought struck her suddenly, her heart pounding with fear as she started to sober up, her rationality gradually returning.
Che Huan looked towards Huo Jinnan, "Mr. Huo, I... I’ve been married, and I’m your nephew’s wife."
"I know." Huo Jinnan released her and lit a cigarette.
"Aren’t you afraid of what people will say?" Che Huan stared at Huo Jinnan, biting her lip.
The man’s cold and proud face, accentuated by the amber light, appeared sharply chiseled, and his features seed to be outlined with bold, heavy strokes. His eyes were profound and mysterious, unfathomable!
"No one dares to say anything." Huo Jinnan stood there, dressed in soft and comfortable black trousers, which accentuated his long legs.
"But I’m afraid!" Che Huan looked away.
Yes, she feared the judgnt of society, the maligning rumors, and being labeled as promiscuous!
In this world, there was never any fairness between n and won—the ones criticized were always won.
Huo Jinnan stood there, his eyes intensely fixed on Che Huan.
