After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

After washing her hands, Mother Huo took her hand and walked into the restaurant and sat next to Mr. Huo.

At the dinner table, everyone was laughing and enjoying the delicious food, and no one mentioned Huo Chenqi.

She was moved and tears welled up in her eyes. They really treated her like their own parents. This warmth made her feel extremely happy.

"Mom, you guys didn't even call me for dinner." Just then, Huo Chenqi's voice came from upstairs.

He should have come down quickly to eat with everyone, but the kick from his wife just now made him feel so painful that he couldn't even stand.

He waited for a long time upstairs before finally coming down reluctantly.

"When did you come back?" Mr. Huo asked with a serious face and a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Huo Chenqi coughed lightly, seeming a little guilty, and replied in a low voice: "Grandpa, I just got home half an hour ago."

"Is everything settled?" Mr. Huo asked.

"Yeah." Huo Chenqi's answer was concise and firm. He didn't dare to look his grandfather in the eye, for fear that his grandfather would see through his thoughts.

"Please sit down." The old man's tone softened a little and he motioned Huo Chenqi to sit down.

At this time, Mother Huo enthusiastically picked up a piece of fish and put it in Luo Yao's bowl, smiling and saying, "Yao Yao, come, try this fish."

"thanks Mom."

"You little brat, don't just focus on eating, peel some shrimps for Yaoyao." Mother Huo glared at Huo Chenqi with a hint of blame in her eyes.

"Okay, I get it now."

Huo Chenqi responded quickly. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the shrimp, but suddenly stopped.

His eyes met Luo Yao's, and in an instant, the air seemed to freeze.

"Mom, no need. I can do it myself." Luo Yao's voice broke the silence. She tried to keep her tone calm, but her heart was already turbulent.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Chenqi paused, and the shrimp hung in the air, not knowing where to go.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became unusually quiet, so depressing that it made people feel suffocated.

Luo Yao ate her meal in silence, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

She thought of the warmth and happiness this home once brought her, and those beautiful memories kept playing in her mind like a movie.

However, now everything has changed, and she feels an indescribable loss and pain.

……

After the meal, Luo Yao slowly stood up, with a look of reluctance in her eyes, "Grandpa, Mom, it's already late, I should go back too."

Mother Huo gently kicked the person next to her, with a hint of anger in her eyes, indicating that he should speak up to keep her.

Huo Chenqi received his mother's hint and expressed helplessness... He didn't know what to say, and even if he did, she wouldn't listen.

Looking at his disappointing grandson, Mr. Huo said quickly, "Yaoyao, you also said it's late. It's not safe to drive by yourself at night. Why don't you stay at home for one night?"

Luo Yao was stunned. She never expected that her grandfather would use this excuse to keep her.

She glared at Huo Chenqi fiercely, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes was clearly visible.

Huo Chenqi felt a little guilty when he was looked at, and his eyes unconsciously moved away, not daring to look her in the face.

"Grandpa, no, I booked a flight for tomorrow and flew back early in the morning." Luo Yao's voice was still firm.

"What!" Huo Chenqi was shocked. He didn't expect that Luo Yao had already booked a flight for tomorrow.

Grandpa's face showed surprise and reluctance. He sighed softly, "Yaoyao, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Luo Yao looked at her grandfather, tears in her eyes. "Grandpa, I also want to spend more time with you, but I'm too busy at work. I will try to come back to see you when I have time. You must take care of yourself." Her voice was a little choked.

Mother Huo didn't know what to say at this time. She looked at Luo Yao's determined eyes and knew in her heart that she could not keep her.

She sighed helplessly, "Yaoyao, you should also take care of yourself. Tell us if you need anything."

"Mom, you too, please take care of yourself."

"Yaoyao, you..." Grandpa wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huo frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

She kicked Huo Chenqi again, with a hint of resentment in her tone: "Why are you still standing there? Send Yaoyao away quickly. It's not safe for a girl to be alone at night."

Huo Chenqi rubbed the place where he was kicked with some grievance, muttering: "Mom! Why did you kick me?"

But he quickly stood up, knowing that his mother was trying to give him a chance.

Luo Yao showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. She wanted to refuse and just opened her mouth to say: "Mom, no..."

But Mrs. Huo quickly interrupted her, smiled kindly, took Luo Yao's hand and said, "Yao Yao, Mom knows you are worried about trouble, but I am really worried about letting you go back alone at this late hour. Let A Qi take you back."

Luo Yao looked at Mother Huo's sincere eyes and felt touched. She knew that Mother Huo really cared about her safety.

So she nodded and agreed. She smiled and said to Mrs. Huo, "Thank you, Mom."

The two walked out of the house.

The streets were exceptionally quiet at night, and the figures of Huo Chenqi and Luo Yao were elongated under the street lights.

Along the way, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Luo Yao's heart was surging like the tide, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

She recalled silently, wondering how long it had been since the two of them had spent time together so peacefully.

Is it half a year? Or a year?

She herself can't remember clearly.

Finally, she broke the silence: "You go back, I can do it myself."

"Yaoyao, didn't you promise to talk to me? Have you forgotten?" There was a hint of loss in Huo Chenqi's voice.

"I think... we have nothing to talk about. Since you're divorced, just look forward and don't let down everyone who treats you well." Luo Yao's eyes were firm, but she could not hide the faint sadness in them.

"Yaoyao, I will ask you one last question." Huo Chenqi slowly stretched out his hand, put his arm around her shoulders, and gently pulled her closer.

The two of them were facing each other and could feel each other's breathing.

Luo Yao's heartbeat accelerated instantly, but she was not at all timid. She looked bravely into his eyes, as if she wanted to see his true thoughts deep in his heart through his eyes.

"Do you still have me in your heart? Even just a little bit." The man's voice trembled a little, and he squeezed out these words from his throat with difficulty.

His eyes were full of pain and expectation, as if he was waiting for Luo Yao's response.

However, Luo Yao's answer was without any hesitation: "No." Her voice was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

She didn't want to be entangled in this relationship any longer. It was a relationship that shouldn't have started in the first place, and she should let it go completely when it ended.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm.

"Yaoyao..." His voice was choked with endless sadness.

"Now that you're done, I'm leaving first." Luo Yao walked around him and walked to the car with firm steps.

Her movements were swift and decisive, as if she was running away from something.

After getting in the car, she started it quickly without any reluctance.

She didn't dare look back, for fear that she would soften her heart and change her mind.

The car drove out slowly, and Luo Yao couldn't hold back her tears.

She knew that this was her last bit of strength, and she had to leave here, leave this man who had once made her heart beat and heartbroken.
