"Mian… are you being serious?" Huo Siqian laughed .
"What do you think?" Huo Mian provoked him back .
After five seconds of staring, Huo Siqian sighed, "Stupid girl… why is keeping you for one night so hard?"
Huo Mian remained silent . . .
"Alright… stop glaring at me like that . Go ahead and leave . I won't keep you . Geez . "
Hearing him say this, Huo Mian turned and walked away . . .
The small blue bottle was still firmly gripped in her hands . . .
Huo Siqian did not speak a word until Huo Mian walked out of the mansion .
He simply watched as her silhouette faded . . .
"Boss… are we really letting Miss Huo leave so easily?" Huo Siqian's men seemed to be disappointed by the result .
Having followed Huo Siqian for so many years, they were too familiar with his feelings toward Huo Mian .
"What else could I do?"
"I think… maybe Miss Huo was bluffing… how dangerous could a small bottle be?"
Huo Siqian's men thought that he was overly cautious . Huo Mian only had a tiny bottle on her . How could he trust her words so easily?
Huo Siqian's gaze coldly brushed against the man's face . . .
"You know nothing . No one understands Mian as much as I do . She never goes into a situation without being absolutely certain that she's going to win . That girl is similar to me in one way and one way only, we're both ruthless . In this world, no one else can compare to our level of ruthlessness . . . "
With that, Huo Siqian yawned and headed upstairs . . .
"Nothing to see anymore! It's bedtime . . . "
Huo Siqian's men didn't dare say more . Their boss was always strange; normal people couldn't understand him .
Huo Mian left the Huo Mansion with a heavy heart .
Heavy snow blew from the south, signaling the beginning of spring . The snowflakes completely whited out the entire city .
Out of the ordinary, Huo Mian parked her car in front of a mall and went on foot from there, walking aimlessly and endlessly . . .
After a long time . . .
She was so cold that she couldn't feel her fingers anymore . . .
Suddenly, a black cashmere coat covered her body . . .
She turned her head and the sight of Su Yu didn't surprise her, not even a little bit .
Without Qin Chu by her side, the only person who cared about her this much was Su Yu .
Before Huo Mian could say anything, Su Yu said, "Tang Chuan was driving past the Rainbow Bridge . He saw you walking on the road alone… so he told me . "
"Oh . . . " Huo Mian replied quietly .
"It's so cold outside… are you trying to freeze to death?"
"No . . . " Huo Mian looked quite sad .
"Feeling down?"
"Uhm . " Huo Mian nodded .
Not only did her meeting with Huo Siqian give her nothing, it left her feeling even more pressured .
Huo Siqian's inadvertent mention of doing something to Qin Chu in the holding cell left her feeling like she was going to find her lover dead .
It was a rock that weighed down on her heart so heavily that she could hardly breathe . . .
"You can't take it out on your body… idiot . "
Su Yu's cashmere coat was truly warm, so much so that it instantly comforted Huo Mian's heart .
"Are you going to keep walking? I'll keep you company . . . "
"No, come with me to the Sunset Cliff . . . "
"Why are you going there?" Su Yu hesitated .
The Sunset Cliff was a very remote cliff . Due to its proximity to the sea, its terrain was incredibly steep . Other than the odd mountaineering enthusiast, barely anyone frequented the area .
"I need to handle some things there . "
Huo Mian said as she got into Su Yu's Lamborghini immediately . . .
After sunset, the mountain roads felt especially steep . Because it was night time, even a race car couldn't handle the climb .
Therefore, the duo opted to walk up the mountain . . .
With his background as a soldier, Su Yu was as energetic as ever .
Huo Mian, on the other hand, was clearly frailer; her steps quickly began to slow .
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?" Su Yu asked .
"No, it's okay . "
"Why are you always so stubborn? I should just leave you here . " With that, Su Yu got down, picked Huo Mian with his arms, lifted her onto his back, and began walking; she really had no say in the matter . . .
