The reason why he agreed to Huo Ting's invitation without hesitation was partly because of him, and partly because of Xiao Wei.
I haven't had a chance to hand over the letter Xiao Wei gave me before she left.
The place where we ate was set in a restaurant that was newly opened. Of course, I had already reported to Bo Lengqing about having dinner with Huo Ting in advance.
He was worried and wanted to follow me, but I stopped him.
"This is between me and Huo Ting. I have to solve this problem myself."
"Let the Black Hawk follow you. Let him follow you. I will feel a bit more at ease."
This time I did not refuse.
He allowed the Black Hawk to become my personal chauffeur, so that they could follow me within a range of fifty meters.
I didn't like being followed at all, but I knew it would reassure him.
I met him at the door of the hotel, and he led me straight upstairs to a box.
"It's a nice place to rest," I said, looking around. It was a good place to relax.
"This was recommended to me by someone else. It's good that you like it." He was still as gentle as before.
"You can serve the dishes now." He said to the waiter beside him.
After five years of being together, he had already memorized my taste. No one knew better than he what I liked and what I didn't like.
So every time we went out to eat with him, we didn't even need a menu.
The dishes were served up one by one. I have always emphasized on the taste, while Huo Ting and Bo Lengqing's taste was lighter, but they would always follow my habits.
Soon, the dishes were served.
"We haven't eaten together in a long time." He spoke softly.
I nodded. "Yeah, I haven't eaten together for a long time …" Oh right, did you tell Miss Wei about what you said? "
Hearing me mention Wei Yuqing, his expression instantly became unnatural, but very quickly, he suppressed it.
"Why tell her?" He asked matter-of-factly.
"There shouldn't be any concealment between husband and wife."
"There is indeed no need to hide things from a precious couple like you and him, right?"
For a moment, I was speechless.
Actually, I understand him. Besides family affairs, there are great differences between him and Wei Yuqing, whether it's personality, habits, conduct, or even social circles. It's extremely difficult for people like him who don't have any sort of emotional foundation to get close to each other, let alone others.
"How did you get along with him?" he asked suddenly, just as I was too embarrassed to say what I wanted to say.
"He's very good, very good at taking care of my feelings. He never makes things difficult for me." I told the truth.
He nodded. "Yuqing is a very good woman. She really is very good. Except that she doesn't love me, everything is fine."
"What about you? Do you love her?"
"Do you really want me to love someone else?" he asked, pushing me into the corner again.
"I'm sorry …" I bit my lower lip. "I hope you let yourself go."
"If this is what you want, I promise you." He looked me in the eye. "You know I never refuse any of your requests."
I subconsciously avoided his gaze and took out the letter Xiao Wei gave him.
"This, Xiao Wei told me to pass to you."
I handed him the letter. He put it aside without opening it.
"Xiao Wei, she is actually..."
"It's our party today. I don't want to talk about anyone else."
"I'm sorry …"
"The one who should say sorry is me, I am really sorry …" "I truly apologize for hurting you that day …"
I lowered my head and tucked my hair behind my ear. Then, I raised my head again and smiled brilliantly. "I don't blame you … It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance that I hid it from all of you and didn't prepare you mentally. Huo Ting, we're still friends, right? "
He looked at me for a while, then suddenly smiled in relief. "Yes, we are still friends."
"What are you still standing there for?" Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat any more, it'll get cold … " As I spoke, I picked up the cutlery and began to pick up the dishes. Unless he completely put them down, I would never be able to get along with him in peace.
I buried my head in my food, but from time to time I would look in his direction. He didn't move his chopsticks.
"About us coming over to eat, he... Do you know? " After a long, long time, he suddenly opened his mouth.
I looked up and swallowed the food in my mouth.
"Of course I know. There won't be any concealment between us." I answered truthfully.
"After what happened last time, does he not mind …"
Thinking about how Bo Lengqing insisted on following me, I felt that it was funny. "He, he seems to be really petty, but he really trusts me. He will be jealous, but he won't mind."
As soon as I said that, I remembered that the person sitting in front of me was not a nobody, but Huo Ting, a person who loved me deeply. I immediately felt embarrassed.
"So you don't give a damn what he did to you in the past, do you?"
I put the chopsticks aside and said, "It's not that I don't mind at all, it's just that he and I have talked about past misunderstandings. He never forgot to love me and he was only deceived by others.
"Then why can't you give me a chance?" He wasn't willing to accept this.
"Because... I don't love you. "
I know it may be cruel of me to say this, but for me it is reality.
I didn't love him. I didn't love him, but he was an important existence to me, so I couldn't let myself hurt him. I would rather be with someone else than fall in love with him.
His expression became confused for a moment, but then he smiled again, a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you, Su Cha." He sincerely said, "Thank you for telling me the truth."
At this moment, the waiter who had been serving us suddenly brought up two glasses of champagne.
"We didn't order any wine." He knows I don't drink.
"This cup of wine is a gift from you. It's a very low degree rose champagne, so you can drink it as a beverage, please enjoy."
The waiter placed the glasses in front of us.
Huo Ting picked up his cup and finished it in one gulp, then picked up my cup again. "I know you can't drink. Let me drink this cup."
"No need!" As I said this, I raised the glass. "There's nothing you can't drink. Let me toast you!"
After that drink, I looked at the time and it was about time for me to leave, but suddenly I felt a dry cough in my throat and wanted to call the waiter over to get a glass of water, but no one came even after a long time, which made me feel a little strange. I went to the door to get someone, but I found that somehow the door could not be opened.
Something isn't right in my heart. Suddenly, that thirst has been magnified many times. I suddenly feel my body getting a little hot.
This feeling made me very anxious, so I desperately tried to pull on the door handle, but it was as if someone had locked it from the outside. No matter how I pushed, it wouldn't budge.
I looked back at Huo Ting. Originally, I wanted to ask him for help, but he looked at me with hazy eyes and anxiously tugged at his tie.
"Su Cha, do you feel that... "It's … very hot …" His voice was husky and charming.
I pulled on the door forcefully. At this moment, I was dizzy and my legs were weak.
"Open the door …" "Open the door …" I knocked hard on the door, but he ran to the window sill because of the heat. He wanted to open the window, but the window was also locked.
"What's going on …" He staggered toward me, and I took a few steps back, somewhat defensively, but because of the door behind me, I had nowhere to run.
"Huo Ting, wake up!" I called his name, but somehow my voice had grown weak.
He heard me calling out to him, so he quickened his steps towards me. I subconsciously wanted to run away, but he grabbed my hand and pushed me towards the door. My heart was clearly against such contact, but my body was clamoring for more! This is … What was going on?
At this moment, Huo Ting rushed towards me and fiercely hugged me!
