After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

Suddenly, Huo Chenqi broke the silence.

"Yaoyao, are you really leaving tomorrow?" There was a hint of expectation in Huo Chenqi's voice that was hard to conceal. He already knew the answer, but deep in his heart he still held a glimmer of hope, hoping to hear a different answer from her.

Hearing this, Luo Yao sneered, seeming to be disdainful of his question, "Why? Mr. Huo, you can't bear to part with me?" Her words were mixed with sarcasm and indifference.

"Yes, I hope you can stay."

"Haha, stay... If you can find a reason to convince me, maybe I will consider it." The corners of Luo Yao's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible bitter smile.

"Yaoyao, give me another chance. I really know I was wrong." There was a hint of pleading in Huo Chenqi's voice.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yao's tone was still cold.

Huo Chenqi took a deep breath, as if gathering strength, and said, "My mistake was that I shouldn't have prepared the divorce agreement, and I shouldn't have not explained it clearly to you the first time." His voice was low and sad, as if he was suppressing endless pain.

Luo Yao's heart suddenly tightened, her palms gradually closed, her fingers clenched together, and she waited quietly for his next words.

She could feel her heartbeat quickening, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"You're already divorced, can't you face the reality? Since you made that choice at that time, you should pay the price for your decision." Luo Yao said expressionlessly.

"I was full of confidence at the time and naively thought I could handle it. However, I never expected that you would..."

"What didn't you expect about me? Didn't you expect that I'm not a girl from the country and won't obey you anymore, so your wishful thinking fell through?" Luo Yao sneered, with a hint of despair in her eyes.

If I hadn't left, would I be in a love triangle?

Will everything remain unchanged except for the divorce certificate?

Maybe there is no maybe, everything is a foregone conclusion.

Don't have any more wishful thoughts.

"No, that's not the case." Huo Chenqi explained eagerly, his eyes full of anxiety.

"That's enough. I probably already understand the whole story, but..." Luo Yao paused, her voice becoming low and firm, "I'm not convinced by these excuses. I'm sorry."

After saying that, she stood up resolutely, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Yaoyao." Huo Chenqi reached out and held her hand, trying to keep her.

"Let go!"

"No, I won't let go." Huo Chenqi clenched his hands tightly, unwilling to let go.

"I need to go to the bathroom. Do you want me to pee in front of you?"

Huo Chenqi was embarrassed when he heard this, and his hands loosened a little involuntarily. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't know you..."

Luo Yao took this opportunity to quickly pull back her hand and walked towards the toilet without looking back.

……

At this time, Shi Lu and Jiang Yi slowly walked back.

Huo Chenqi frowned, and Shi Lu saw this and hurried forward to ask, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Huo Chenqi shook his head gently and did not answer.

Jiang Yi looked around and didn't see Yaoyao, so he asked, "Where's Yaoyao?"

Huo Chenqi was very frugal with words and only said three words: "Bathroom."

Well, this big president is so cool and speaks tersely.

Jiang Yi looked at the table full of barbecue and couldn't help but reach out to pick up a skewer, put it into his mouth, and started to enjoy it.

“Mm, delicious~”

Shi Lu sat next to her, his face full of worry, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable after eating these unclean things.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to dissuade her, Jiang Yi interrupted him, saying, "Get lost, don't disturb my interest."

Shi Lu felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and coughed twice.

After a while, Luo Yao came back from the bathroom. When she saw the barbecue on the table, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Yaoyao, eat quickly." Jiang Yi greeted warmly.

Then she shouted again: "Boss, another beer."

At this moment, the two women were completely immersed in the atmosphere of food and joy, while the two men's eyes never left them, and the worry and doting in their eyes were clearly visible.

Huo Chenqi winked at Shi Lu, with a hint of encouragement and challenge in his eyes.

Shi Lu shook his head, frowned slightly, and revealed a hint of timidity.

He patted his stomach gently, as if to remind Huo Chenqi that his stomach was not good and could not handle such food.

However, Huo Chenqi did not hesitate at all. He directly picked up a string of food and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

This action instantly attracted the attention of the other people to him, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Shi Lu looked at Huo Chenqi worriedly and said softly: "Aqi, you..."

Huo Chenqi showed a satisfied smile, chewed the food, and nodded to indicate that it tasted good.

Shi Lu looked at Huo Chenqi's expression, his eyes still full of suspicion.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up a string.

He carefully put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly, savoring its flavor.

After tasting it, Shi Lu showed a pleasantly surprised expression on his face. He nodded quickly and murmured, "It's good..."

"How's your stomach?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Yiyi, you care about me? It's okay, I can try anything you like."

"Who cares about you? I'm just worried that you'll get an upset stomach. If that happens, those people will come to my house to settle the score. That would be a loss."

"No, they don't dare."

"Hmph! It'd better be that way."

……

A few people sat together like friends, enjoying the delicious food and the joyful atmosphere.

They forgot about the past unpleasantness and immersed themselves in the good times of the present.

There was a smile on everyone's face, as if time had stopped at this moment.

However, they did not realize that this scene happened to fall into the eyes of those who were observing in the dark.

That person looked at them silently, perhaps with different emotions and thoughts in his heart...
