To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 227 – You’re Not Jealous?

Chapter 227: You’re Not Jealous?

Huo Jinyao’s refusal was straightforward and without mercy. Xu Ruoli went pale. Looking at the road ahead, she did not feel any warmth even though the sun was shining brightly.

“Honestly, I sometimes wish we hadn’t had that engagement,” Xu Ruoli said, with her eyes on the road. “If there had been no engagement, then—”

“There is no engagement now.” Huo Jinyao stopped the car at the gate of the Xu Mansion and said, “Ruoli, I’m married. Our engagement is off the table. In fact, you know very well that the engagement has long been off the table.”

“Yeah.” Xu Ruoli nodded heavily. “I know.”

It had been hard for her to give up, even though she had known there was no hope. She was just being silly, to put it bluntly. Undoing the seat belt, Xu Ruoli hoped she could lose gracefully.

Looking at Huo Jinyao again, her eyes misted over.

“Thank you. Jinyao.”

Once she was out of the car, Xu Ruoli went slowly through the gate. After a few steps, she turned back and stood in front of the car again.

“Jinyao, there is something that I haven’t let go of and I know you haven’t either. If I can try and let it go, I think maybe you can try, too.”

Huo Jinyao did not speak, his lips pursed in a straight line. He was now in a completely different state of mind.

Xu Ruoli bit her lip, knowing that she had made a blunder, but there was no way to take her words back.

“Jinyao, I wish you a happy life,” she said sincerely, but Huo Jinyao did not look at her.

“Thank you, I will.”

His voice was cold and stiff. Before Xu Ruoli could step away, he had already started the car and drove away.

Halfway to the office, which was where he had planned to go to, Huo Jinyao suddenly turned the car around to go back to the Huo Mansion.

Su Qingsang was sitting on the sofa, video chatting with Shi Mengwan. After lunch, everyone enjoyed their break and the servants didn’t usually hang around the main house. Su Qingsang was alone on the first floor and was telling Shi Mengwan about her experiences over the past two days. She was confounded for a moment when she saw Huo Jinyao come in.

After hurriedly finishing the call, she saw Huo Jinyao approaching her. “Didn’t you go to work?” she asked.

“I will soon.” Huo Jinyao sat down beside her. “There is a meeting this afternoon and I have to see a client this evening.”

“So why are you—”

“To see you, and explain everything to you, in case you were jealous.”

“Why would I be jealous?”

Su Qingsang had felt a little uncomfortable the day before because she had not been prepared. She had seen very clearly, however, what Huo Jinyao had been like these past two days. Since Huo Jinyao did not have any affection in his heart for Xu Ruoli, why should she be jealous?

“Sweetheart, your words make me sad. Are you not at all unhappy?” asked Huo Jinyao, who was not pleased at all.

“Why should I be unhappy?”

“Someone is after your husband.” Huo Jinyao pulled her into his arms. “Why aren’t you worried?”

“Would you go with her if she wanted you?”

“Of course not.”

“She loves you. Would you leave me to be with her?”

“Never.”

“Then why should I be jealous or worried?”

Su Qingsang spoke matter-of-factly, while Huo Jinyao was unable to laugh.

He squinted at Su Qingsang and asked, “So I should be moved by my wife’s generosity and tolerance now?”
