Su Bei never imagined she would burst into tears before a stranger one day and that she would have a complicated relationship with the very same man.
Ever since the wedding that shocked the entire city six years ago, she never cried like this again.
That was because she never allowed any man to come close to hurting her like that again.
However, the most devastating pain came from the dearest ones!
Her brother’s scheme and her mother’s sharp criticism were fatal blows to her.
As such, the durable fortress in her heart crumbled when someone with no relation to her offered her a little warmth.
Su Bei wished to stop crying, but the bitterness in her heart seemed to overflow and spread to her eyes. Her tears just could not stop.
Yet, this man just stood by her side without a word!
His upright posture of 1.8-meter height overshadowed her delicate figure.
His eyes looked indifferent, and he remained calm and graceful in this messy study room in the middle of the night.
Finally, Su Bei stopped crying.
For the past three years, she had too much sadness and hardship around her.
Today, a large volume of tears finally washed away her dark and gloomy mood.
She felt so much better now!
Looking at the debris in the room, Su Bei finally regained her senses.
She was neither an unreasonable nor a wasteful person.
But today, she seemed to have become one.
She turned around and met the unfathomable eyes of that man.
Has he been looking at her like that the whole time?
Hua Jinan noticed that she had calmed down. He smiled and said, “Come with me.”
Then he turned around and walked out. For a moment, Su Bei was stunned, but she followed him immediately.
When Old Lin entered the study room, he got the shock of his life. Immediately, he pounded his chest, feeling the pain in his heart.
These antiques were worth hundreds of millions!
But when Mr. Hua walked out just now, he only said to him, “Tidy up the study room and clear the rubbish.”
He looked calm and Old Lin could not tell if he felt pity for what had just transpired.
Old Lin sighed as Mr. Hua cared for nothing in the world.
After the winter snowfall, the weather was freezing. But Su Bei got a man’s cashmere coat over her shoulder.
Hua’s mansion was huge. Both sides of the road were full of evergreen pine trees.
Two of them walked shoulder to shoulder without saying a word.
It was a peaceful night, and they felt tranquil.
“Are you feeling better?” Hua Jinan finally asked impassively.
Su Bei nodded. “Mm.”
When someone was furious, one could only feel comfortable after venting out the anger. Otherwise, it would only accumulate in the body and turn into some sort of illness.
Hua Jinan knew this well. As such, it was not his genuine intention to let her wait but to draw her anger out!
However, the price to pay was slightly too much. Yet, it did not matter to Mr. Hua!
Hot pot shop…
It was suitable weather to have some hot pot. Hua Jinan brought Su Bei out for a walk before he drove her to a high-class hot pot shop that only received VIP guests.
The hot and steaming hot pot was Su Bei’s favorite. At this time, her body was feeling warm again.
Su Bei did not have much dinner, and she was really starving.
To her surprise, her appetite was really good that night, and she was not feeling nausea.
Hua Jinan sat beside her and watched her stuffing herself with a gentle smile.
“Who made you angry?” he asked after they came out of the hot pot shop.
Su Bei was stunned, but she shook her head without saying a word.
He did not pester her for an answer when he noticed she did not want to mention it. With a determined look in his eyes, he said, “Look for me if you’re in any sort of tricky situation.”
Su Bei shook her head again then said, “I’m sorry. I lost my temper today…”
“You don’t have to apologize. I’m not blaming you!” said Hua Jinan.
“Regarding the losses, I will…”
“You don’t have to compensate me!” Before Su Bei completed her sentence, he interrupted her.
Su Bei looked up to him in surprise. “But all those items are priceless. Are you sure you don’t want me to compensate you?”
Shouldn’t he use this opportunity to extort something from her?
For example, asking for a lover’s contract or selling her body to him?
