Chapter 38: Let Go of the Past
ogance, yet also a chilling distance that kept people at bay.They weren't from the same world.Su He retracted her gaze, leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes to rest.Before she knew it, she ha...Su He reacted, her face flushed red as she let go, a few black strands of hair still tangled around her fingertips. She nervously retreated her hand behind her back. 。"Sorry, I didn't mean to " 。Su He apologized breathlessly. 。
Huo Chenxi, who had just been so angry his face was dark, saw Su He looking down at her feet, a smooth section of her neck exposed in the dim yellow light. The fire he felt when she had touched him in that sensitive spot earlier, which had been subdued by her pulling on his hair, seemed to flare up again.
His gaze darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Huo Chenxi let out a low hum, as if forgiving her. 。The most difficult section of the road is finally over, and the car has returned to a smooth ride. 。Su He quietly sat aside, once again restoring the distance she had with Huo Chenxi before. 。Ho Chenxi raised his eyes to glance at the rearview mirror, his cold gaze falling on Xu Tian's face in the reflection. 。Suddenly, Xu Tian shivered, feeling like an ice blade was flying towards his neck. He thought he had angered Huo Chenxi by making the car unsteady just now, and hurriedly concentrated all his energy to drive as smoothly as possible. 。
Silence all the way.
Only Xu Tian felt a chill down his neck. By the time he finally realized what was wrong, the car had already reached the city center. 。Xu Tian glanced at Huo Chenxi, who was expressionless, and took the initiative to ask Su He which hotel he had booked. 。Su He hesitated for a moment, subconsciously not wanting to let Huo Chenxi know where she lived. However, out of courtesy for having taken a ride with him, she casually reported the name of a hotel she had randomly scanned when booking a room before. 。"It's such a coincidence, we booked there too." 。“Xu Tian took the initiative to say, opened the navigation and input the address, driving there directly.” 。The car pulled up to the hotel entrance. 。Looking at the dazzling storefront, Xu Tian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. 。Su He was so embarrassed that her toes dug into the ground, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into and disappear on the spot. 。
This hotel doesn't look very legitimate.
Yet Huo Chenxi seemed oblivious to Su He's embarrassment, taking the lead to open the car door and getting out of the car before entering the hotel. 。Su He had to get off the car, dragging her feet behind Huo Shen Xi. 。
City B has a much more open atmosphere than City A, with various themed adult hotels springing up everywhere.
The front desk staff member, seeing Huo Chenxi and Su He walk in one after the other, asked nonchalantly, "Do you two have a reservation Or would you like to book a themed room"Huo Chenxi turned his head to glance at Su He, saying with a smirk, "She has a reservation..." 。"I'm not really satisfied with the one I ordered before. Could I exchange it for a more ordinary one" 。The staff member asked for their IDs, operated the card reader for a while and then handed them each a room key card, smiling politely: "Have a pleasant evening!"Su He always felt something was off, but he didn't have time to think too much about it. He grabbed one of the room key cards and walked away. 。Finally found the room corresponding to the key card. 。The large room had several different colored lights, but they were all dim. 。Su He pressed the remote control several times, but couldn't adjust the fiber optic cable to normal, so he had to give up. 。The room was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things, only the large round bed in the center draped with a thin curtain looked somewhat normal.Su He awkwardly walked in, but bumped into something he shouldn't have. The large screen TV opposite the bed automatically turned on, playing an action movie full of passion, and the seemingly normal bed began to vibrate automatically. 。Realizing the purpose of this bed, Su He frantically pressed the button he had accidentally touched just now. After much effort, he finally turned off the television, and the bed returned to silence. 。"I wouldn't have guessed you had this kind of taste!" A low voice, laced with a hint of tension, echoed through the room, its meaning unclear. 。Su He turned his head and realized that Huo Chenxi had followed him at some point. He asked in surprise, "How did you get here"Huo Chenxi held a room card between his index and middle finger: "The front desk just gave it to me" 。
That's when Su He realized something was wrong.
She and Huo Chenxi, a man and a woman, were automatically grouped together by the front desk. She was too flustered to remind the front desk that they were separate. 。
"Well then, why don't you just stay here"
Su He was looking for an opportunity to leave anyway, and when he saw this situation, he immediately turned and walked away.
Huo Chenxi stood at the door motionless, only staring at Su He with a gloomy gaze. 。When Su He passed by him, he inexplicably took a breath. 。Unexpectedly, yet unsurprisingly, Huo Chenxi grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall with his other hand. He held her captive in his arms, looking down at her from above. 。
At the same time, he also didn't forget to kick the door.
The room, already thick with unspoken tension, felt the temperature rise instantly as the door clicked shut. 。Su He suddenly looked up, meeting Huo Chen Xi's eyes directly. 。
Narrow and long eyes with a raised outer corner, pupils black as a dark night, or like a dangerous black hole, are unfathomable.
He was born very delicately, with three-dimensional and profound facial features. His sword eyebrows were deep-set, his eyes piercing, his nose straight and his lips thin. His facial contours were clear-cut, as if they were a masterpiece carefully crafted by the finest sculptor throughout their lifetime. 。This face, once caused Su He to lose herself, but now facing it magnified, her heartbeat remained steady. 。"Young Master Huo, let's talk!"Su He took a deep breath and looked at Huo Chen Xi calmly, her voice soft. 。 Huo Chenxi frowned, his gaze falling on her serene face. His star-bright eyes held neither love nor hate, as if he were looking at a stranger he had just met. 。Thinking of her dream on the plane, he hesitated for two seconds before letting go. 。"What are you talking about" Huo Chenxi turned and walked into the room, looking at those props with special effects, then turning his gaze to the window. 。Su He said, “Let's talk peace. " 。Ho Chenxi raised an eyebrow, signaling for her to continue. 。"Young Master Huo, I know you don't like me " 。All this time, I've been entangled with you, but it turns out all you want is a divorce and for me to take twenty billion. 。I can give it back to you. 。 Huo Chenxi let out a cold snort: “Is that all” Su He saw his displeasure and, after some thought, took the initiative to explain: "I haven't betrayed you during our marriage..." 。Storm and Moon, and I are not in a romantic relationship. 。She wouldn't be delusional enough to think Huo Shenxi suddenly fell in love with her after the divorce. This entanglement was simply because he couldn't accept it, thinking she had cheated on him. 。Furthermore, due to her identity, he weighed the pros and cons of his choices. 。Ho Chenxi was a little surprised. Thinking back to the way they both protected Su He beyond reason on the yacht, she believed her a bit more. 。"And" Huo Chenxi asked again. Seeing Su He's bewildered expression, he reminded her coldly, "The one surnamed Long..." 。Su He honestly said: "The group has a project cooperation with him, and I am representing the group to receive him." 。Ho Shenxi listened to her explanation, did not deny the relationship between himself and Long Maozhi, his tongue involuntarily licked his back molars. 。Although I am the daughter of the Shen family, after all, I did not grow up in the Shen family. 。What's more, although the Shen family is the leading family among the three major financial dynasties, there are power struggles and intrigues within the family. 。s nose. "Getting ready for bed, but I suddenly remembered that it's been a while since we last contacted. Just wanted to see if you've been slacking off lately. What are you up to"Su He laughed, "Oh m...
