Chapter 3 Mind-reading is only effective for Yu Ruanruan
The air fell into a long-lasting silence. Instead of the expected ridicule and malicious speculation, Huo Xu's performance was a bit abnormally quiet.
It's just that his face lost color at a speed visible to the naked eye, his thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and there was a blue gray under his eyelids, like a dying creature.
Yu Ruoruan's heart ached for no reason.
At this moment, absurd expectations flashed through him. Was he nervous?
Will he also be a little reluctant to let go?
But soon, she gave up the idea and thought with some self-deprecation that Huo Xu was the one who caused her to have her hands and legs broken eight years later and completely ruined her.
He only hates her, how can he not let her go?
I'm afraid it's too late for him to be happy now!
When she quit, there was one less obstacle between him and Cheng Cheng.
How good?
It's just that my eyes felt sore for no reason.
I feel worthless for myself who used to be a moth to the flame.
Yu Ruanruan didn't notice that the tall man in front of her swayed at this moment, almost standing awkwardly.
He quickly turned his face away and said in a low voice: "Grandpa is very happy to know that you are here. At least we will have dinner together before leaving."
Yu Ruanruan was stunned and raised her head in surprise.
The man had his back to her, and his whole body had a cold aura, but his attitude had almost completely changed from before!
This was one of the few times in his two lives that Huo Xu had a good conversation with her.
It seems that taking the initiative to break off the engagement is still useful.
He doesn't hate her so much anymore!
This thought flashed through her mind, and Yu Ruoruan noticed that Huo Xu suddenly turned his face and looked at her deeply.
Her heart skipped a beat, as her mind flashed back to the man's cruel eyes when he tortured her in her previous life, and the pain was clearly felt along with the sequelae of trauma.
She immediately looked away, not daring to look at him again.
Huo Xu seemed to be electrocuted. The moment she looked away, he quickly looked away, turned around and strode out of the bedroom.
It seemed that as long as she walked fast enough, Yu Ruanruan would still be the follower and clingy spirit chasing after him.
Outside the door, the housekeeper and a group of servants were waiting in the corridor in fear, ready to receive Mr. Huo's thunderous wrath.
At noon today, with the tacit consent of the old man, all of them turned a blind eye and allowed Miss Yu to help the unconscious man into the room.
My face turned red at that time, and I could tell at a glance that he had been drugged.
But the old man told him not to interfere in this matter, so no one dared to stop it.
The housekeeper knew that Mr. Huo had always rejected his fiancée, who hated him, and would definitely be angry with their servants when he woke up.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Mr. Huo.
The housekeeper glanced at Huo Xu and saw that the man had a pale face. He walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind his back. However, he kept holding the doorknob and his body was stiff for a long time.
The housekeeper did not dare to disturb Huo Xu and waited with bated breath for him to be dismissed.
Huo Xu stood outside the door for a moment, slowly digesting the huge amount of information received in just ten minutes.
Even though the door is separated at this moment, the girl's mental activities in the room can still be heard.
She was cheering and screaming and making life plans for her future.
If those voices weren't so clear and true, Huo Xu would probably have thought that there was something wrong with his nerves.
But……
He suddenly turned around and looked at the housekeeper who looked worried.
Why can't he hear other people's voices?
Is this mind-reading technique only effective for Yu Ruanruan?
"Huo...Master Huo...it was the old man's order...we are not allowed to interfere..."
The butler was sweating on his forehead and anxious to explain.
"Send her a set of clothes."
There was no angry rebuke as expected. The man's upright figure was still gloomy, but his dark eyes showed exhaustion. He dropped these words in a mute voice and walked away.
