Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo
Chapter 101: Autumn Night: Sparse Shadows and Thick Frost
Huo Chenjun held the phone tightly in his hand, staring at the text message on the screen, feeling a little nervous.
He had been confident that his proposal of a contract marriage would be accepted by Miss Su, but he had never expected to be firmly rejected.
Huo Chenjun stood in front of the French window in his study, gazing at the tall buildings in the distance, their lights dimming, his mind racing. Although he was surprised by the text message just now, he wasn't upset by it.
After all, Huo Chenjun has been working in the business world for decades and has long been accustomed to putting personal feelings behind him and focusing on career development.
His face returned to its usual stern expression, and Huo Chenjun quickly adjusted himself and threw himself into his busy work. He knew that in the cruel business world, there was no mercy at all, and if he wanted to succeed, he had to give up too much sentimentality.
However, Huo Chenjun felt that something was amiss, so he secretly arranged for his assistant to investigate the situation.
After sending the message, Su Xianyun looked at her phone, but Huo Chenjun did not give any reply.
A few minutes later, the phone rang.
Miss Su picked up the phone, and Ning Tingbei's voice on the other end said, "Excuse me, Miss Su? I'm Ning Tingbei, Huo Chenjun's ex-wife." Miss Su was slightly startled, then replied, "Yes."
The ex-wife said bluntly: "You returned the 500,000 yuan to Mr. Huo, right?"
"Yes, I just returned it to him." Miss Su responded.
"Has Mr. Huo replied to your message?" Ning Tingbei asked.
Miss Su shook her head, even though the other party couldn't see it, "No, he didn't reply to any of my messages."
Hearing this, Mr. Huo's ex-wife Ning Tingbei's voice became a little serious. "I want to tell you, I'm giving you this 50 yuan with only one request, and that is that you stay away from Mr. Huo. Because I'm trying to redeem my relationship with Mr. Huo. Even though he's my ex-husband, I still want him back. I regret the divorce. If he asks you anything again, please don't agree, otherwise please return the 50 yuan to me."
She tried to calm down and slowly replied, "Okay, I understand. If he contacts me, I will clearly tell him that you are trying to get back together and I will not interfere in your private affairs."
Mr. Huo’s ex-wife Ning Tingbei seemed to relax a little after hearing this. “Okay, Miss Su, I hope you can keep your promise.” Then she hung up the phone.
As darkness enveloped the earth and all was silent, Mr. Huo's phone rang again. A familiar name appeared on the screen—Ning Tingbei. After a moment's hesitation, he answered the call.
"Chen Jun," Ning Tingbei's trembling voice came from the other end of the line, "I know it's late at night and it's inappropriate to disturb you at this time, but can we talk?"
Mr. Huo responded coldly: "Just say what you want to say."
Ning Tingbei took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back her tears. "I know I was wrong. I was so foolish to cheat on you. I've been living in regret and pain these days. Losing you is the biggest regret of my life. Can you give me a chance to make amends? Why didn't you scold me once from beginning to end?"
Mr. Huo was silent for a long time, his heart in turmoil. Once upon a time, they had known and loved each other. However, her attempts to sow discord between him and his brother, Huo Chenyuan, coupled with that betrayal, were like the straw that broke the camel's back, shattering the last shred of trust and tenderness in his heart.
"I used to be very tolerant of you, and I think you know that. However, once something happens," Mr. Huo finally said firmly, "there's no turning back. You're an adult, and you need to be responsible for your own decisions. I can't trust you and accept you back into my life again. Don't call me again."
On the other end of the phone, Ning Tingbei was still sobbing: "Chen Jun, what do you want in order to forgive me?"
"There is no room for negotiation. I've made it very clear." Huo Chenjun said coldly, then hung up the phone.
Ning Tingbei sat alone, her eyes lost in thought. Recalling the time she had spent with Huo Chenjun, tears welled up in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
Since her divorce that day, she threw herself into the arms of her young boyfriend, thinking that she could fill the emptiness in her heart.
However, as time went on, Ning Tingbei's boyfriend's true colors gradually became apparent: he was narrow-minded, irritable, and short-tempered, completely lacking Mr. Huo's foresight and composure. Whenever arguments escalated, Ning Tingnan even received a slap in the face from her boyfriend.
When I can't sleep late at night, the past days keep appearing in my mind. Those moments that I once thought were ordinary have now become a luxury.
She thought that by finding someone to investigate and finding Miss Su, she could persuade Miss Su to leave, and she would be sure of success. She didn't expect that Huo Chenjun's attitude towards her was completely different from before the divorce.
As for Huo Chenjun, when he learned that Ning Tingbei had cheated on him, his heart was filled with turmoil. Although the two of them had not had any children for many years, he was still willing to show unlimited tolerance and understanding.
He even thought about adopting his younger brother Huo Chenyuan and Lin Yunzheng's children as his goddaughter and godson after they had them.
For Huo Chenjun, he once longed to create a beautiful family with his significant other and share sweet and warm moments. However, now that the relationship was over, there was no need to reopen it. Even without Miss Su, Huo Chenjun had no intention of accepting Ning Tingbei again.
Huo Chenjun looked out the window, the autumn night was filled with sparse shadows and thicker frost.
