565 Overcoming Obstacles
In the hotel room, Huo Zhou and Sisi were silent.
Perhaps to ease the awkwardness, Huo Zhou decided to find something to do first. He started tidying the messy furniture up.
Sisi was not idle and silently helped him.
After a long time, seeing that he was still silent, she decided to break the cold atmosphere first.
“If you have nothing to say, I’ll leave first.” Her tone sounded very wrong. Her nasal voice was thick, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Huo Zhou finally stopped what he was doing and looked at her quietly. After a long time, he said, “So you and that Bai An were acting for me? To agitate me?”
Sisi was stunned, and embarrassment flashed across her face. However, she remembered Qiao An’s teachings.
“In the beginning, Sister An’an did arrange this to agitate you. However, I thought over it a lot last night. People always set some distant goals for themselves and then work towards it every day with anticipation. But in fact, you might not be able to achieve this until the day you die. When you’re old, you’ll feel that you’ve wasted your time.”
“Zhou Zhou, you know what I mean. It’s just like how I’m wooing you. You don’t love me, yet I’m clinging to you desperately. It’s actually a sign of irresponsibility. Therefore, I’ve decided to let myself go. I really want to say goodbye to you seriously. Then, I’ll seriously consider whether I want to be with Bai An.”
Huo Zhou looked at Sisi. The determination in her eyes made him inexplicably disappointed.
“Zhou Zhou, let’s get a divorce.”
When Huo Zhou heard Sisi say this calmly, his emotions were especially complicated.
“Have you thought it through?” he asked.
Sisi said, “This is the result of my careful consideration.”
“Are you no going to start a new relationship with Bai An after the divorce?” he asked, his tone inexplicably cold.
Sisi said, “It should be very difficult for me to start a new love. However, I’m willing to give Bai An and myself a chance.”
Huo Zhou was speechless and persuaded earnestly, “Sisi, the reason why our love failed is that there’s no love. You know that a one-sided love will be another person’s calamity. How can you still harm Bai An?”
Sisi stared at Huo Zhou with determination in her eyes. “Huo Zhou, I’m different from you. The person you love is Qianqian. She doesn’t love you. You’re the one who’s stubborn and cowardly. You’re unwilling to defeat this knot in your heart. As for me, the reason why I’m willing to enter a relationship so quickly is that I’m braver than you. I don’t want to live like you and never be able to walk out of the past.”
Sisi paused and said, “Besides, Bai An is very good. He knows about my past and my feelings for you. He’s willing to accept me and help me defeat this problem. Therefore, I want to be brave for once.”
Huo Zhou felt suffocated.
He looked unnaturally out the window and said bitterly, “It’s not that I don’t love you. I just can’t touch you…”
Sisi’s gaze on him suddenly turned cold. She glared at him bitterly. “But after you were drunk, there were no such obstacles. You’re a coward and aren’t willing to try…”
Huo Zhou glared at her angrily. After all, he had been in a high position for a long time. Who would dare to point at his nose and scold him like this?
Moreover, Sisi was just a mollusk without thorns in his eyes.
Sisi suddenly tiptoed and kissed Huo Zhou. Huo Zhou’s first reaction was to push her away, but when he suddenly thought of Qiao An and the others saying that he wasn’t brave enough and was running away cowardly, he endured it.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Sisi became bolder and bolder. She simply wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him even more infatuatedly.
Huo Zhou was like a puppet…
Sisi pushed him away in frustration, her eyes red. She choked and said, “Zhou Zhou, are you… gay?”
Huo Zhou was stunned. When he realized that Sisi had misunderstood him as gay, his face turned green.
This was simply humiliating him.
He said angrily, “I’m not.”
Then, he pressed Sisi’s head over and leaned over to kiss her domineeringly.
This time, the two of them were kissing passionately.
Sisi went all out, as her restless hands razed his body.
Soon, Huo Zhou felt that his throat was hoarse.
Then, he carried Sisi into the bedroom.
After that, Huo Zhou and Sisi lay on the bed. Sisi’s cheeks were red as she looked at him in a daze.
“Zhou Zhou, so have you recovered from your impairment?”
Huo Zhou looked at her in surprise. “Who gave you those tactics just now?”
“Sister Qiao An.”
Huo Zhou cried out, “How can Huo Xiaoran stand it?”
Sisi pressed against him. “Zhou Zhou, actually, you like it too, right? Just now, you…”
Huo Zhou pushed her away and his ears turned red.
“Women are as fierce as tigresses at thirty. As expected.”
Sisi leaned over again and hugged him from behind. This time, Huo Zhou did not push her away. He only questioned her angrily, “Are you still getting a divorce?”
Sisi giggled.
Huo Zhou said angrily, “Aren’t you going to find Bai An for your next relationship?”
Sisi said obsequiously, “No, no.”
This time, Sisi did not hide anything and only told him very piously, “Zhou Zhou, I don’t want a divorce. From the beginning to the end, I never wanted a divorce. Bai An is an actor Sister An An found to provoke you. We’re doing this because we hope you can recognize your heart as soon as possible.”
Huo Zhou got up and looked at Sisi anxiously. “So you’ve been plotting against me?”
Sisi did not dare to look at him.
Huo Zhou was furious. “Qiao An.”
Huo Zhou was silent for a while before suddenly smiling again.
Sisi looked at him in confusion. “What are you smiling at?”
...
Huo Zhou said, “I’m laughing at how a man like me actually lost to Qiao An in the end.”
Sisi said, “Sister An’an is the smartest and most intelligent woman I’ve ever seen. However, what I like about Sister An’an the most is not her intelligence, but that her intelligence is only used in love and not fame.”
Huo Zhou smiled sinisterly and nodded. His smile was terrifying.
“She actually used her tricks on me.” Huo Zhou’s voice seemed to come from between his teeth.
Although Qiao An had helped him, he felt terrible and angry at being fooled.
Huo Zhou and Sisi spent their wedding night in the hotel. The next morning, Huo Zhou and Sisi returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden from the hotel, only to discover that Qiao An and Zhou Zhou’s mother had quarreled.
Zhou Zhou’s mother said all kinds of ugly things. “Qiao An, you’re an ingrate. Ever since you came to the Huo family, I think I’ve treated you well. But you urged Zhou Zhou and Sisi to divorce. How can you do this? Others would persuade them to reconcile, but you’re the opposite. You can’t wait for them to break up.”
