Jian Liangtong furrowed her brow, "In the evening? I’ve made arrangents."
"Ha..." Ruan Chen chuckled softly, "I made a reservation for seven in the evening. At five in the afternoon, I’ll pick up Hao Hao and take him to the amusent park near Wanhui Building and then head over at seven."
"..." Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip, "I actually have an appointnt."
"Mm. You go to your appointnt, I’ll take Hao Hao for dinner," Ruan Chen said with a smile.
Jian Liangtong almost couldn’t catch her breath, pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Ruan, I rember I explained very clearly last ti."
Huo Shaojun’s eyes narrowed coldly, looking at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong was focused on dealing with Ruan Chen on the phone, so she didn’t notice Huo Shaojun’s gaze.
"What did you say, explained clearly?" Ruan Chen said indifferently, seemingly not taking Jian Liangtong’s words to heart at all.
Jian Liangtong’s clear eyes carried a hint of gloom, "Mr. Ruan knows what I’m talking about."
"I don’t know. Perhaps during dinner tonight, you can tell again properly. This ti, I’ll definitely listen carefully," Ruan Chen replied.
"..." Jian Liangtong’s delicate brows pressed down. After a mont, she leaned her back against the chair and said, "Wanhui Building?"
"Seven o’clock."
"Alright." Jian Liangtong said before hanging up the phone.
As she put the phone in her bag, the corner of her eye inadvertently caught the solemn gaze of the man beside her.
Jian Liangtong’s hand holding the phone stopped, and she looked up.
Huo Shaojun didn’t show much expression, but his gaze at Jian Liangtong was sowhat gloomy and sullen.
Jian Liangtong’s long eyelashes trembled, feeling a sudden sense of guilt.
Even though she hadn’t done anything wrong.
The car stopped at the entrance of the film base.
Jian Liangtong glanced at Huo Shaojun, lowered her head to unfasten her seatbelt, pursed her lips, and reached to open the car door.
But no matter how hard she pushed the door several tis, it wouldn’t open.
Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, turning her head to look at Huo Shaojun in confusion.
Huo Shaojun silently stared at Jian Liangtong from the rearview mirror.
That quiet gaze made Jian Liangtong uneasy.
"... The film base, we’ve arrived." Jian Liangtong curled her pale fingertips and said.
Huo Shaojun’s eyes were deep as ink, "In such a hurry to leave?"
Jian Liangtong’s hand quietly tightened on the seat cushion beneath her, "You should have business to attend to here, I won’t disturb you..."
"You’re not , how do you know you’re disturbing , rather than..."
What rather than, Huo Shaojun didn’t say.
Jian Liangtong pinched her thigh, swallowed nervously, "I need to return to the company."
After speaking, Jian Liangtong carefully looked at him.
Huo Shaojun observed her timid eyes, the repressed anger in his heart surged uncontrollably.
He suddenly reached out, grabbed Jian Liangtong’s wrist, and pulled her toward him.
Jian Liangtong gasped in panic, her upper body was pulled into a large arc toward him.
Her anxious eyes t his chilling gaze up close, and Jian Liangtong felt as if a burning stone was lodged in her throat, causing intense pain.
"Do you have nothing to say to ?" Huo Shaojun’s voice was deep.
"Say, say what?" Jian Liangtong’s back trembled lightly.
"Have you forgotten?" Huo Shaojun strongly pulled Jian Liangtong closer again.
His other hand held trendous strength, fiercely grasping her other hand and pressing it against her stomach, "About my child, about disappearing four years ago without a word! Don’t you have anything to say? I truly want to kill you!"
"..."
The intense hatred in his eyes was undisguised, every word he uttered pierced like a knife.
He genuinely looked like he wanted to kill her!
Jian Liangtong’s eyes turned crimson as she watched him, scenes from four years ago played like a movie in her mind.
Four years ago.
After experiencing her friend’s sudden "death," and after those events...
That night, when she was taken to the operating room, she kept waiting for him.
She stayed in the hospital for a week, continuing to wait for him.
An entire month after being discharged, she continued to wait for him.
But he never ca.
He never ca!
Jian Liangtong looked at him sorrowfully, "Do you care about the child?"
Huo Shaojun’s eyes were bloodshot as he gripped Jian Liangtong’s hand, with force that seed as if he wanted to break it, "What right do you have to question ? You know how much I care..."
"You care? You care?" Jian Liangtong laughed, tears streaming down her face, "If you truly cared... if you truly cared."
If he truly cared about their child, he wouldn’t have abandoned her that night.
If he truly cared.
He wouldn’t have failed to appear as she and the child lay dying on the operating table, desperately hoping for his arrival.
