Chapter 864: Have You Always Thought of Me as a Burden to You?

As their eyes met, she felt her own eyes betraying her anxiety.

On the contrary, Huo Chen’s calm and wintry gaze flashed with an unreadable emotion before he quickly suppressed it. The man frowned and strode toward her. He asked cooly, “Why are you here?”

“…”

Wen He was dazed and simply stared at him.

There was no surprise, no joy, and not even a sliver of emotion in him.

It was as though her presence was meaningless to him.

Wen He opened her mouth but could not find the words to say to him.

“Hey, Officer Huo.”

Gu Jinzhi stepped forward and put an arm around her shoulder in a show of intimacy. His eyes twinkled suggestively.

“May I remind you not to think that it’s all about you. My dearest here is accompanying me on our vacation in South City, but somehow we lost our way and ended up here.”

He looked at Wen He and asked, “Ain’t that right, honey?”

“…”

Wen He pursed her lips.

Could he get any more absurd?

Huo Chen’s lips thinned as he took a brief glance at Wen He’s pale face.

“I will send you two off tomorrow.”

He said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Wen He was about to retort when she smelled the thick scent of blood coming from Huo Chen.

She was horrified and grabbed his arms without thinking.

“Where are you hurt? Is it bad? I’ll get the medical officer immediately!”

She turned and looked ready to dash away.

“That’s not necessary.”

Huo Chen said without intonation, stopping her in her tracks.

“You will stay in your room and remain there until I say otherwise. Tomorrow, I will assign a few men to send you back to the city.”

Wen He studied his emotionless face and said bitterly, “Do you not trust me?”

Huo Chen ignored her question and said, “Having you here is a burden for me.”

“…”

Wen He’s eyes widened in disbelief. The shot of pain in her chest made her stumble a few steps back as she looked back at him with incredulity.

“Burden? Huo Chen, have you always thought of me as a burden to you?”

Huo Chen did not reply.

It was probably his way of saying that he agreed with her.

Wen He nodded. “I see.”

Song Shou felt sorry for her. “She travelled all the way here to see you, sir. Aren’t you…”

… being too harsh?

“I told you.”

Gu Jinzhi maintained an easy smile on his face, but his gaze had turned a shade colder. He pulled Wen He closer to him, as if he was declaring certain ownership.

“No matter what you do, some people will never appreciate it. Why exhaust yourself to please someone who never cares for you? Don’t you think it is plain foolish and totally not worth it?”

“…”

Wen He silently pushed away his arm and gave Huo Chen one last look before she headed back to her room.

Gu Jinzhi threw a look at Huo Chen too and smiled cooly.

“I hope you won’t regret this one day.”

Huo Chen watched them leave and then turned to Song Shou, who looked hesitant to speak up.

“Come with me.”

Both men arrived at the operations room. Song Shou recalled how sorrowful Wen He looked before she left. He felt sorry for her and decided to ask his superior to reconsider his actions.

Huo Chen went to the topographical map hung on the wall. As he studied the area around the camp, he spoke without mincing words, “Song Shou, you will lead the security patrol tonight. I suspect that the enemy will attack us.”

Song Shou asked gravely, “Why do you say that?”

Huo Chen pressed on the spot between his eyebrows and tried to shake away his fatigue.

“It is just a hunch, but we should take precautions.”

“Yes sir!”
