The Lady’s Facade was Ruined - Chapter 2 - She Never Knew He Loved Her (2)

Chapter 2: She Never Knew He Loved Her (2)

The Shen family’s company had some problems at that time. Shen Wanying’s aunt went to prison for alleged commercial crimes. There were rumors circulating outside that these were done by the Huo family. Did she believe those rumors?

Upon the Shen family’s accident, the Huo family had been helping out. Huo Cheng also explained to Shen Wanying right after he heard the rumor for the first time. Was it because they had no emotional foundation, so she did not believe his words?

Huo Cheng couldn’t convince himself for this sole reason.

Shen Wanying wasn’t a person who committed extreme behaviors such as murder because of such things. Even if she didn’t believe him, she would have investigated the matter herself and found evidence in favor of the Shen family. Killing him didn’t help the Shen family except for venting her anger.

So, what else is there?

Huo Cheng looked at Shen Wanying’s photos on his computer and didn’t move a bit for some time.

It was human nature, to seek benefits and avoid harm. Since he knew that he was going to be killed by Shen Wanying in the future, no matter what the reason was, he should stay away from Shen Wanyiing in this life. As long as he didn’t cross paths with her, what was supposed to happen to him in the future naturally wouldn’t happen.

Or so he thought. But, after he was reborn, he would look at Shen Wanying’s Weibo as usual. He knew he couldn’t stay away from her.

They were married in their last life, and they only got along for one year. He didn’t believe that this was simply a misunderstanding on her part. Would it make a difference if he had known her early in this life? Because their marriage was no longer an arranged marriage, would things be different?

He wanted to make up for all the time he missed.

He wanted to know what he had ignored.

Huo Cheng made a decision in his heart, turned off the computer and went downstairs to find Huo Tingxiao.

Today was the weekend, so Huo Tingxiao was resting at home. Huo Cheng was going down when he saw his father sitting on the sofa, watching the news. Huo Cheng walked over and stood next to him and called, “Dad.”

Huo Tingxiao finally realized that Huo Cheng was downstairs. He turned sideways and looked up at Huo Cheng, “What’s wrong?”

Huo Cheng was silent for a moment before speaking, “I want to go back to China.”

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes widened when he heard it. It was very unexpected. He and Huo Cheng had been living abroad for seven years. He never thought that Huo Cheng would suddenly propose to return to China. He suppressed the surprise feeling in his heart and asked Huo Cheng calmly, “What happened? Returning to China is not a trivial matter. Why did you suddenly have this idea?”

Huo Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, and said, “Nothing, I just want to go back.”

Huo Tingxiao didn’t say anything after that. Huo Cheng was 17 years old. He was usually calmer than the average child. He could have been bored in many things and he wouldn’t tell others. As a teenager, he was in a sensitive period. So, when Huo Cheng suddenly proposed to return to China, Huo Tingxiao was very worried. “Huo Cheng, I feel that you are a little different these two days. If you encountered something in school, you can tell your father.”

Huo Cheng: “Nothing really… I just couldn’t adapt well.”

Huo Tingxiao: “…”

Huo Tingxiao was silent for a moment, then replied, ”It’s been seven years, but you aren’t comfortable now? Isn’t it too late for that?”

Huo Tingxiao couldn’t believe that it was his reason, but Huo Cheng didn’t have any slightest intention to tell him the truth.

Huo Tingxiao: “Ho…”

Huo Cheng: “Dad, I’m really alright.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him for a long time and then he began to ask him, “What about the university? Are you going to stay in China too?”

Huo Cheng didn’t really think about the university because Shen Wanying chose to study abroad. Naturally, he should be together. “The university should be abroad.”

Huo Tingxiao: “…?”

Then why are you saying that you couldn’t adapt well?

Huo Tingxiao quietly pulled Huo Cheng to sit down. He looked like he was going to have a long talk with him, “Huo Cheng, please tell your father honestly. Was there something that made you sad? I am your father. You have to let me know, no matter what.”

Huo Cheng looked at him, “No.”

Huo Tingxiao chatted with Huo Cheng for ten minutes, but the answer to why he suddenly wanted to return to China still wouldn’t come out from his mouth. In the end, he could only compromise, “Well, if you insist on going back to the country, I don’t object.”

He thought Huo Cheng was in his rebellious period.

Huo Cheng didn’t become excited after getting Huo Tingxiao’s approval. He still returned a “huh” lightly.

“If you want to go back and study in China, we still have to go through several procedures. I will be responsible for handing over the school, but you have to think about which school to study after returning to China yourself and where do you plan to live? Dad has to stay here. So, are you planning to live alone or live with your grandfather?”

Huo Cheng thought about it and answered, “Live alone.”

Huo Tingxiao didn’t agree, “You have to live with your grandfather. You are not a grown-up yet. I can rest assured if I have someone take care of you.”

Huo Cheng: “… Hmm.”

Huo Tingxiao: “I’ll call your grandfather later. Have you thought about school?”

“M-hm.” Huo Cheng nodded, “The first private school in City A.”
