C95

Huo Yanshen retracted his hand, and turned to get off the carriage.

Su Nuan looked at his leaving back woodenly. Suddenly, he leaned on the steering wheel and bumped into his own head a few times.

Her mind was truly in a mess. No matter how she tried to control herself, it was useless.

She should have said yes when he said he was going to drive.

Su Nuan sniffed, then forced himself out of the car, wanting to face the accident himself.

The moment she got off the car, she saw Huo Yanshen conversing with a car owner. He, who had always been noble and cold, patiently apologized, explained, and made reparations.

Just then, Huo Yanshen turned around and saw Su Nuan standing beside the carriage.

He walked toward her, his cold lips curving slightly, then grabbed her wrist and started walking toward the sidewalk.

After the two of them reached a safe location, Huo Yanshen dialed Ruan Yao's number.

Su Nuan did not hear what he said clearly, her ears were still buzzing.

After Huo Yanshen finished making the call, his gaze landed on her, "Let Ruan Yao handle this matter."

"What about us?"

"After the car arrives, I'll take you to the hospital for a thorough check-up."

"But, I don't have any problems with that. Instead, it's you who got injured." Su Nuan looked at his reddened arm, and his eyes turned slightly sour.

"I'm fine."

"I'm fine too. I just want to go home."

Huo Yanshen was quiet for a few seconds, then nodded: "Ok, let's go home."

After about 10 minutes, the insurance company's people arrived with Ruan Yao. The driver of Tianyuan drove Huo Yanshen's luxurious car over.

Su Nuan carried Su Nuan to the front passenger seat. In the entire process, she felt her mind go blank, even losing her most basic thoughts.

On the way back, Huo Yanshen didn't ask anything.

When they were almost at the residential area, Su Nuan called out in a hoarse voice, "Huo Yanshen."

"Hmm?"

"Would you lie to me?"

Huo Yanshen's heart suddenly froze, and her thin, cold lips tightened into a straight line.

"I want to know if you're lying to me."

"What would happen to you if I lied to you?" Huo Yanshen didn't answer, he only asked a question in reply.

Su Nuan looked eagerly at Huo Yanshen, "I may not forgive you because I have not gone, and have lost too many memories. Therefore, I do not wish for lies to still exist within the only memories I have."

Huo Yanshen's heart felt as though it was being twisted by a knife, his eyes were fixated at the road ahead, his ice-cold lips barely uttered two words, "I don't."

"No?" Su Nuan pursed his lips, turned and looked out the window, raising his head slightly, not wanting to see the cheap stuff fall out of his eye sockets.

"No way!"

As the car drove into the small district, Su Nuan pushed open the car door and got off.

She could deduce from the conversation between Huo Yanshen and Shen Sichun that Xu Ruqian had told her past, but Huo Yanshen had not told her the truth.

Thinking about it this way, Huo Yanshen indeed did not lie to her, he just was not willing to speak of her past.

The one who had actually deceived her was Shen Sichun, and the first time they met, Shen Sichun had recognized her. After that, he had even followed her wholeheartedly, but why was Shen Sichun unwilling to tell her that what had happened in the past?

Seeing Su Nuan standing dumbly next to the carriage, Huo Yanshen who had just gotten out of it, walked over in a few steps and pulled her into his embrace, patiently helping her get off the horse carriage.

Su Nuan's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not push him away.

In his embrace, she slowly calmed down, "I'm fine now, you were the good thing you were here when the accident happened. Huo Yanshen, thank you."

The few words "Fortunately you're here" heavily smashed into Huo Yanshen's heart.

"It's good that you're fine. If you want to talk to me, I'll always be on the other side. Come find me anytime."

"Alright."

Huo Yanshen could feel that her emotions were turning for the better, so he let her go and walked towards the stairs.

The two of them returned home, He Fei took his leave. Huo Yanshen did not stay for long, and brought Two Small Ones to his house to play, planning to leave the space for Su Nuan.

Su Nuan sat on the sofa, touching the bracelet on his wrist in a daze.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should call Shen Sichun, Shen Sichun called her first.

"Su Nuan, are you home?"

"Yes."

"It's like this. There's a problem with the bracelet I gave you. For safety's sake, take it off and place it inside. When I get back on Friday, I'll give you a new chain. Sorry."

"What kind of questions?"

"It was from the duty-free shop that I was contacted. They said that there were some defects in this batch of products. I didn't pay any attention to them. Anyway, just listen to me."

Su Nuan forced himself to hold back the urge to ask everything, "Alright, I understand."

"You're the darling of the big BOSS Huo right now. If something goes wrong with the bracelet I gave you, I won't be able to take responsibility for it."

"Sichun, I have something to attend to, so I'll be hanging up first."

"Ah?" "Alright …"

Su Nuan did not even say goodbye before he hung up the phone.

She was afraid that if she kept talking, she really wouldn't be able to hold back.

At night, Huo Yanshen brought the Two Small Ones back.

"There's an accident in the Dragon City. I need to go there and take care of it."

"Yes."

"By Monday at the latest."

"Yes."

"You …" He wanted to ask if she and the Two Small Ones were willing to follow him.

But before he could ask, she was already giving it away.

"Have a safe trip."

"Ruan Yao will directly contact you on your car. I'll be going then."

"Daddy, you have to come back early. I'll miss you everyday."

"Cold Uncle, me too."

"Fine, I promise you." Huo Yanshen's gaze stopped on Su Nuan's face for a moment, then turned and left.

Because Two Small Ones was not going to school on Sunday, she could only bitterly endure for a day. It wasn't until the school bus was delivered by Two Small Ones that she called Xu Ruqian.

"Su Nuan? Why did you call me? " Xu Ruqian was a little surprised.

"I suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask you in person. Is it convenient for you?"

"I …" "I'm at work and need to ask for a leave of absence from my superior. Can I call you back later?"

"Yes."

Xu Ruqian hung up the call. He did not request for leave from his superior, but dialled He Fei's number.

He Fei who was on the other end of the phone just got off the plane, "Miss Xu?"

"Yes, it's me. Su Nuan just called me, saying that she remembered something and wanted to ask me face to face. Should I go? "How will you answer that?"

"Wait." He Fei held onto his phone, and asked for instructions from his own boss, "Go see her, I will inform her at the design department, and also, send me the meeting address and time, and as for what you can say, just as per the agreement."

"Alright, I understand."

Xu Ruqian hung up the phone and immediately called Su Nuan back.

"I've applied for leave, where do we meet?"

"It's still the same coffee shop from last time. One hour later."

"Alright, I understand."

Su Nuan packed up and drove to the agreed location.

She arrived first and waited for more than ten minutes before Xu Ruqian arrived.

"Su Nuan, what did you think of? Why are you so anxious to see me? " Once Xu Ruqian sat down, he began to ask.

Su Nuan held the coffee that had already cooled down, and stared at Xu Ruqian: "Do you really not know anything else about my past?"

"Yes …" "Yeah."

"But what I remember is, what I told you seems a bit different."

"What did you remember?" An unnatural expression flashed across Xu Ruqian's face, but he pretended to be calm and waved at the waiter, "Give me a cup of iced coffee."

"Miss Xu, Song Ming..."

Pow!

Before Su Nuan even finished speaking, Xu Ruqian panicked to the point that his bag was about to hit the ground.

She ignored the fact that she had bent down to pick it up, and looked at Su Nuan in astonishment, "You remembered him? How is that possible? "

"So, how long are you planning to keep this a secret from me? We used to be classmates, so I want you to tell me yourself. "

Xu Ruqian awkwardly bit his lower lip, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you this. If you really want to know, then go ask Director Huo, I already told him everything that I should say. Also, I took his money, so I definitely can't do anything that would go against the agreement."

Su Nuan was startled, "You took Huo Yanshen's money?"

She had always thought that Xu Ruqian would only keep his mouth shut because he was bribed by Shen Sichun.

Su Nuan's hand that was holding onto the coffee trembled. She still vividly remembered the two words he said two days ago, 'no'.

"Su Nuan, I know that the matter of me getting the money to cover my mouth is a very loathsome thing, but, people die for money, birds die for food, I have no choice, so, if you want to know about your past, go ask the Director Huo, from the day I took his money, this matter will not be known by me."

"Alright, I won't ask about my past. I'll ask about Shen Sichun." Su Nuan slowly loosened his tightened fingers, "Regarding her matter, there's still no one who wants you to keep it a secret, right?"

"Yes." Xu Ruqian laughed bitterly, "It is true that no one asked me to keep her a secret, but as for her, I do not know much. The first time we met, was also the first time we met.

"You don't know about Shen Sichun?"

"Right, I don't know." Coincidentally, Xu Ruqian called for the coffee. She took a sip, then bent down to pick up her bag, "Su Nuan, in truth, no matter who it is that wants me to hide your past, they always have their own thoughts about you. The things that happened in the past, since I forgot about them, then I will forget about them."

"That's because you don't understand how important the past was to me." Su Nuan took a deep breath, "Let me ask you the last few questions."

"Alright."

"Where is my domicile?"

Xu Ruqian struggled for a while, then drank a mouthful of ice coffee before hesitating and opening his mouth, "I only know that you and Song Ming are from Hai City."

"Hai City?" Su Nuan, who had just relaxed his fingers, suddenly tightened them again.

She knew Hai City. Auntie Su had bumped into her at Hai City.

"Song Ming... His tomb is right at the Hai City. "
