Gu Lanqing was silent for almost ten seconds before she nodded, "Yes." Because to me, your mother's painting is not as important as Ye Tang's life. "
This sentence was even more heartless than her directly saying that she did not love him.
Huo Yan didn't say anything. His thin lips curved up into an icy smile. The way he looked at Gu Lan Qing became colder and colder.
Gu Lan Qing rubbed her throbbing forehead and calmed herself down. "You see, you'll still care about the fact that I asked you for your mother's painting in the end." Just like I did when I broke into your room five years ago. Shall we get divorced? After all, living with someone you hate every day is too tiring. "
"Many couples have no feelings and live together as usual. Gu Lanqing, I've already told you, I don't want your feelings, I only want your body on the day Huo Zichen wakes up. You'll be my woman for the rest of your life. Love or not, it's not so important to me. " Huo Yan bent down and grabbed her chin. His eyes were cold. His words made Gu Lan Qing despair once again.
"So, you want a divorce? In your dreams."
Gu Lanqing slapped Huo Yan's hand away, then abruptly stood up. She really wanted to roar out loud.
Why did Huo Yan refuse to let her go?
What did he like about her?
Did she change?
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a man walking over from behind her. She took a deep breath to suppress her anger and nodded at the man, "Uncle Wang."
The man was middle-aged, had an ordinary appearance and an aura as calm as a mountain. He was none other than Grandpa Huo's personal butler, Steward Wang.
Housekeeper Wang sighed, "Young Master, Young Madam. The Old Master will invite the two of you for dinner tonight. "
Gu Lan Qing's heart sank when she heard Steward Wang's sigh.
Grandpa Huo wouldn't ask her and Huo Yan to go back for dinner for no reason.
Indeed, Steward Wang spoke meaningfully, "The old man has already seen the news about the young master and the young mistress. He was very angry and thought that the young mistress had lost the Huo family's face."
This is the network era, the network media influence range is wider, the sustained heat is higher.
At the press conference yesterday, she threw herself into Huo Yan's arms and kissed him.
The words that Huo Yan had said to welcome her to sexually harass him had become a catchphrase on Weibo.
Even if someone had deliberately guided the public opinion and pointed out that Huo Zichao was a vegetable, Gu Lanqing still had the right to pursue her own happiness. However, there were still a lot of people who opposed her.
Huo Yan was Huo Zichao's cousin in particular.
He believed that even if Gu Lanqing wanted to pursue happiness, she shouldn't have chosen Huo Yan.
Inside the elevator, Gu Lanqing's face was somewhat pale.
"With me here, Grandpa won't do anything to you." Huo Yan looked at Gu Lan Qing. A strand of hair fell on her cheek. Her pitch-black hair made her face look especially pale.
He reached out his hand, wanting to push her hair behind her ear.
She looked at her pale face in the elevator mirror and said coldly, "The Huo Family is the oldest family in A City. To Grandpa Huo, the Huo Family's reputation is more important than anything else. Five years ago, he warned me over and over again not to reveal my marriage to you. "
Huo Yan laughed out loud. "We've already lost all of the Huo Family's strongholds." Who cares about face? "
Dark clouds appeared in his eyes. Previously, his mother had been kicked out of the Huo family by his grandfather because of some so-called Huo family's reputation.
Huo Yan's jaw tightened. Ignoring Gu Lanqing's protest, she held her hand and tightened it. She said lightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Such simple and crude words had easily dispelled the uneasiness in her heart.
She didn't shake off Huo Yan's hand as the elevator door opened.
He directly went to the living room.
Steward Wang had been waiting at the door to the living room for a long time. He greeted Gu Lan Qing and Huo Yan and led them to the dining room.
On the long dining table, there were delicacies scattered about.
Old Man Huo sat at the head of the table, while a man sat to his left, causing Gu Lanqing to open her eyes slightly.
The man held the knife and fork in his hand, his thin lips curled up in a devilish smile, "Long time no see, my fiancée."
It was none other than Hawking, whom she had met once at the Hotel Belle Ombre.
Huo Yan held Gu Lan Qing's hand and couldn't help but tighten it. His eyes suddenly became cold and murderous, as if it was a solid thing that was about to pierce Huo Xuan.
Gu Lan Qing caressed his palm. Her eyes were calm as she glanced at Old Man Huo. When she saw that his expression didn't change, she suddenly felt that it was laughable.
Old Man Huo allowed Huo Shan to be so frivolous towards her.
Huo Yan was right. The Huo Family had already lost all their connections, what face did they have left?
She was so stupid that she felt nervous when she came to the Huo Family.
She sat on the chair that Huo Yan had pulled aside for her. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Huo, please be more respectful when you speak." This was the Huo Family, not an orphanage where you grew up. However, I should also understand that you grew up in an orphanage. Without the guidance of your parents, it's natural for you to lose your composure when you speak. However, you are no longer a child. There are some things that you don't understand. If you can't learn it, then that means you have a problem. "
She pointed at her head and said with a harsh tone, "Uncle Huo is a wise man. The most unwise thing he did was to bring a fool like you back to the Huo family."
The light in Huo Yan's eyes darkened.
Old man Huo slammed the table, "Qingqing, pay attention to your attitude!"
"Grandfather, is Qingqing wrong? Since Huo Qin had entered the Huo Family, he didn't just call Qing Qing as his cousin but also took advantage of her in terms of words. You let Qing Qing take note of her attitude. What? Was the Huo family going to allow such an unexpected event to happen? Heh, if you want this to happen, I won't allow it. I don't think there's any need for this meal. "I'm not interested." Huo Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He gripped Gu Lanqing's wrist and was about to leave.
"Halt." Old Man Huo stood up and looked straight at Huo Yan with his glittering eyes.
"You want Huo Qin to call you Cousin Qing Qing? Heh heh, what kind of cousin was he to clear the accounts? Shall I remind you? As long as Qing Qing didn't give birth to your child, she could marry Huo Wei at any time. "Don't forget that I still have Hanshan Ao Xue in my hands."
"Grandpa Huo, enough." When Gu Lanqing heard this, the last bit of respect she had for Old Man Huo disappeared.
Her eyes flashed with a cold light. She shook off Huo Yan's hand and said coldly to Old Man Huo, "You don't have Han Mountain Ao Xue in your hand at all. "Don't use Han Shan, Ao Xue, to threaten Huo Yan again."
"What did you say?" Old Man Huo's expression changed.
Although Huo Yan didn't say anything, his cold eyes were still fixed on Gu Lanqing.
"I have already found out that the painting of the cold mountain, Ao Xue, is in Chen Lu Bai's hands. So, please don't try to use Han Mountain Ou Xue to force Huo Yan and I to have children. Huo Yan and I are not your puppets. Whatever you want us to do, we must do it. " Now that things had gotten to this point, it was impossible for her to have Han Mountain Ao Xue in Chen Lu Bai's hands. He might as well tell his where Han Mountain Ao Xue was.
Even if she couldn't get married to Huo Yan, she wouldn't be able to give birth to a child by following the orders of old man Huo.
She could not have children.
