Joan looked at him confused.
Her crossed tears still hung on her face, her nose and eyes were still red, but because of Huo Cheng's words, her mood changed from gloomy to like a clear sky.
Wishing she had not misheard, Joan confirmed again and asked
"Thank you?"
Huo Cheng was just silent and his eyes were calm.
But a single tear fell from Joan's slender eyelashes and happened to fall in Huo Chengzhou's hands.
It was so warm.
Just like the time in the situation when Joan begged her to send a voice to Qiao Xue that night.
Huo Chengzhou clenched his fists firmly.
His voice was hoarse but did not distinguish between joy or anger, his eyes turned deep and he said: "really."
"That's..." Joan bit her lips: "what about the old man..."
"There I am." Huo Chengzhou was generous: "i'll tell father, that I took the initiative to ask for a divorce and won't involve you."
Joanne pursed her lips in a sincere tone and smiled, then looked at the pear whirlpool: "thank you... You're very nice, but we don't fit in with each other."
Huo Chengzhou closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, and he was silent for a moment.
Then he opened his voice in a tone that contained a touch of ridicule: "Now you don't need to flatter for feeling guilty, after all, I'm a stupid man in your heart and far from your expected husband criteria."
Joanne's heart stopped and pursed her lips: "someone will like you."
Huo Chengzhou slightly looked up and narrowed his eyes upwards, looking at the blue sky with white clouds, and the clear weather.
He said slowly, "I'm not interested in love. The problem is very complicated and can hurt others, of course I myself will also feel pain, so I don't care if anyone likes me."
Joanne pursed her lips without saying anything.
In this situation, what position does he have to correct others' views on love?
Instead, Huo Chengzhou glanced at Joan and said in a clear and seductive voice, "Don't try to return to Mu Haoyan after you divorce me. You heard it yourself that day. He's not even as good as me."
Referring to Mu Haoyan, Joan's face changed and her eyes widened: "Of course I wouldn't expect her anymore."
Huo Chengzhou's eyes focused on Joan's face.
Her eyes that had just finished crying were still red and swollen.
On the contrary, as the layers of skin became increasingly white, her lips red and dimples were beautiful, she looked fit.
Touching Joan's knee with her finger, she said, "but I still need you to cooperate with me for family dinner at the mansion later tonight."
Joan's face was shocked and recalled the matter, then she said: "because we are going to get divorced, why ..."
Huo Chengzhou interrupted Joan's speech: "My father has a bad heart. I will hide this matter from him for a while."
Then he said sincerely, "You should cooperate with me at the family banquet. And you don't have to think about anything else in the future."
Joanne thought for a moment and nodded, "OK."
It can be seen with the naked eye that the girl's mood changed from mist to brighten at the time she said divorce.
Huo Chengzhou did not know what it was like.
Did the divorce make her so happy?
He couldn't help but say, "when your eyes recover, I'll invite you to dinner."
Let you see what I look like.
Joan looked dumbfounded and scratched her head: "Well, maybe it'll take a long time, because the cornea is not donated every day."
Huo Chengzhou looked at him deeply: "let's go. It's lunch time."
Joanne nodded slightly in embarrassment: "my wheelchair seems to be stuck in a rock crevice."
"It's okay. I'm right here."
Huo Chengzhou's light sentence suddenly warmed Joan's heart.
Joan thought maybe because they were going to get a divorce and it made her heart have a different feeling, she felt all of Huo Chengzhou's words and deeds seemed to look good on her mind.
Huo Chengzhou turned behind Joan and tried to help her push out the stuck wheelchair.
Then he said, "I'll push you out. This place is a labyrinth. Let alone you. Normal people just can't get out when they get in."
"Aah!" Joan was thinking why Tian pushed her here?
Then he added a question
"How did you find me?"
Huo Chengzhou smiled: "I am not a normal person."
Joan: "..........."
"I designed this labyrinth." Huo Chengzhou explained, and his voice dropped slightly: "My mother likes bamboo. I always come in when I think about it."
"What does this have to do with you?"
Huo Chengzhou said in a deep voice, "I personally took the initiative to mention it."
Joanne fell silent and said nothing until the sun's radiance landed directly on her body.
She suddenly felt warm on the face: "we're out?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Huo Chengzhou said, "There is a pond in front of you. There are a lot of goldfish. Very deep. Fortunately, you can't find a way out, otherwise, maybe you'll fall straight into it."
Joanne was scared for a while, but she added, "Fortunately, I can swim and I'm not afraid of falling."
"Very confident?" Huo Cheng asked curiously
"I used to be a 100m freestyle champion at school sports races!"
He answered with spirit.
Maybe it was because she managed to get out of the bamboo forest, and maybe because of the man's divorce.
In short, Joan was in a good mood.
Huo Chengzhou was suddenly dumbfounded, and thought back to what did the servant mean to push Joan here?
The bamboo forest is the most dangerous place in the entire home environment.
At this moment, Aunt Fang also came with the people.
When he saw that they came out unscathed, he finally felt relieved.
He whispered to Joan, "are you hungry? I've already told the kitchen to prepare lunch and come on, go to eat."
"Thank you, Aunt Fang."
Aunt Fang winked at the servant named Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao directly pushed Joan, and the other servants returned to their posts one after another.
Only Huo Chengzhou, Aunt Fang and Tian Tian were left in such a large garden.
Tian Tian lowered his head and squeezed his fingers: "I just pushed the madam in the door of the bamboo forest. No I guess, the madam has already entered by herself ... And after coming back, I didn't see him. I guess the madam has gone to the room... Sorry, aunt Fang, forgive me, sir..."
"I'll give you another chance to be honest."
Huo Chengzhou glanced at him with a cold gaze: "there is no cctv in the bamboo forest, but in the garden there is."
Tiantian flopped down and knelt down: "sorry sir, I pushed the madam into the bamboo forest, but it was not too far from the entrance. He said he would rest there. As long as he doesn't move, I'll be able to push him out once I get back from picking up the water flask ..."
Huo Chengzhou looked at him.
The gaze was extremely cold with no clear emotion, but Tiantian felt that his entire body was like falling into an ice cave in an instant: "Master ..."
"Who sent you?"
Huo Cheng asked suddenly.
"No."
Tian Tian shook his head and cried bitterly: "I don't know what you mean, Master. Nobody sent me ... Sorry, I don't dare anymore ..."
Huo Chengzhou frowned and looked towards Aunt Fang: "fired him."
Huo Chengzhou did not even look at Tiantian, as he turned his wheelchair and directly left the garden.
…….........
For the sake of security, Huo Chengzhou still called Huofeng and told him to investigate the Tiantian situation carefully, and then arranged for Aunt Fang to examine the details of all the servants in the house more thoroughly.
This house that could be called a zhuxuan fortress was his last defense.
If it's not safe here, he really doesn't know where the safest place is anymore.
When she returned to the dining room, Joan had just finished lunch.
They met face to face at the entrance.
Joan smelled a gentle peony scent on her body: "Master Huo, thank you today."
"Yes." Yeah."
Huo Chengzhou looked at Joan's face, which had clearly restored her vitality, then said, "Have a good rest, we'll leave at 5pm"
Joanne answered and asked, "Yes, do I need to wear a dress or something?"
"No need."
Huo Chengzhou's voice was very gentle: "don't be nervous, this is just an ordinary family dinner. And all that's coming is people from the family."
"OK."
Joanne answered and Xiaoxiao pushed her straight out of the dining room.
As he walked up to the elevator, Xiaoxiao whispered, "Madam, master is very kind to you, because Tiantian has been fired earlier, he said, and now there is no way anyone will dare to bully you in this house in the future."
