She Never Knew He Loved Her (2)

Chapter Courtesy: Wang Mei

The Shen family’s company ran into some problems at that time. Shen Wanying’s aunt went to prison for alleged business crimes. Rumors were rife that this was the Huo family’s doing.

Did she believe those rumors?

Upon the Shen family’s mishap, the Huo family had offered a helping hand. Huo Cheng had also explained to Shen Wanying when he heard the rumor for the first time.

Was it because they had no emotional foundation, so she did not believe his words?

Huo Cheng couldn’t convince himself for this sole reason.

Shen Wanying wasn’t someone characteristic of extreme behaviour like murder. Even if she didn’t believe him, she would have investigated the matter herself and found evidence in favor of the Shen family. Killing him wouldn’t help except for venting her anger.

So, what else is there?

Huo Cheng kept looking at Shen Wanying’s photos on his computer, not moving for some time.

It was human nature, to seek benefits and avoid harm. Since he knew that he was going to be killed by Shen Wanying in the future, no matter the reason, he should stay away from her in this life. As long as he didn’t cross paths with her, what was supposed to happen to him in the future naturally wouldn’t happen.

Or, so he thought. After he was reborn, he would look at Shen Wanying’s Weibo as usual. He knew he couldn’t stay away from her. They were married in their last life and only got along for one year. However, he didn’t believe that this was simply a misunderstanding on her part.

Would it make a difference if he knew her early in this life? Because their marriage was no longer an arranged marriage, would things be different?

He wanted to make up for all the time he missed. He wanted to know what he had ignored.

Huo Cheng made a decision in his heart, turned off the computer, and went downstairs to find Huo Tingxiao.

It was the weekend, so Huo Tingxiao was resting at home. Huo Cheng was walking down the stairs when he saw his father watching the news on the sofa. He walked over and stood next to him.

“Dad.”

Huo Tingxiao finally realized that his son was downstairs. He turned sideways and looked up. “What’s wrong?”

Huo Cheng was silent for a moment before speaking, “I want to go back to China.”

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes widened. It was very unexpected. The two had been living abroad for seven years already, so he never thought that he would suddenly propose to return to China. Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he asked calmly, “What happened? Returning to China is not a trivial matter. Why did you suddenly have this idea?”

Huo Cheng lowered his eyes slightly and said, “Nothing, I just want to go back.”

Huo Tingxiao didn’t say anything after that. Huo Cheng was seventeen. He was usually calmer than the average child. He could have been disinterested in many things, but he wouldn’t tell others. As a teenager, he was in a sensitive period. So, when he suddenly proposed to return to China, the father was very worried. “Huo Cheng, I feel that you are a little different these past couple of days. If you’ve encountered something in school, you can tell your father.”

Huo Cheng: “Nothing really… I’m just can’t adapt well.”

Huo Tingxiao: “…”

Huo Tingxiao was silent for a moment, then replied, ”It’s been seven years, but you aren’t comfortable now? Isn’t it too late for that?”

Huo Tingxiao doubted his reason, but Huo Cheng didn’t have the slightest intention to tell him the truth.

“Ho…”

“Dad, I’m really alright.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him for a long time and said, “What about the university? Are you going to stay in China for that, too?”

Huo Cheng didn’t really think about university because Shen Wanying chose to study abroad. Naturally, he would follow her. “The university should be abroad.”

Huo Tingxiao: “…?”

Then why are you saying you can’t adapt well?

Huo Tingxiao quietly pulled Huo Cheng to sit down. He looked like he was going to have a long talk with him. “Huo Cheng, please tell me honestly. Was there something that made you sad? I am your father. You have to let me know, no matter what.”

Huo Cheng looked at him and said, “No.”

Huo Tingxiao chatted with Huo Cheng for ten minutes, but the answer to why he suddenly wanted to return to China still wouldn’t come out of his mouth. In the end, he could only compromise. “Well, if you insist on going back to the country, I won’t object.”

He concluded his son was simply in a rebellious period.

Huo Cheng didn’t show any excitement upon his father’s approval. He just lightly returned a “huh”.

“If you want to go back and study in China, we still have to go through several procedures. I will be responsible for the school transfer process, but you will need to think about which school to study at and where you plan to live. Dad has to stay here. So, are you planning to live alone or with your grandfather?”

Huo Cheng considered before answering, “Live alone.”

Huo Tingxiao immediately disagreed. “You have to live with your grandfather. You are not an adult yet. I can at least rest assured if I have someone take care of you.”

“Hmm.”

“I’ll call your grandfather later. Have you thought about school?”

“M-hm.” Huo Cheng nodded. “City A’s No. 1 Private School.”
