Chapter 453

It was stated very simply, only saying that she was going on a business trip for three days, and that he could focus on his work without worrying about her.

There was nothing wrong with these words.

Yet the very fact that there was nothing wrong proved that something was wrong; she was not clinging to him, and it seemed she needed his company less and less.

He took out another cigarette.

He began to search for the two characters, Sheng An.

He had heard a few years ago that Jiang Nannan liked a male celebrity, but he hadn't paid much attention to it; it was normal for a young girl to chase after stars, but now she had gone to work as an assistant for Sheng An.

Such frequent, close-range interaction...

He suddenly thought of the madness between him and Ye Yaoguang just moments ago.

He lowered his head to look at Sheng An's personal profile.

A triple-crowned Best Actor, never involved in scandals, high-quality works, and the only actor with a fan base exceeding three hundred million.

He was outstanding in every aspect.

It was very attractive to a young girl.

When Ye Yaoguang came out of the bathroom, she saw Huo Jingyan staring at his phone, lost in thought, and she didn't know what he was thinking about.

He was completely different from the man he had been just a moment ago.

There was an intimidating aura about him, as if he were pushing her further away once again.

This feeling made Ye Yaoguang somewhat panicked.

She immediately walked over and hugged Huo Jingyan.

"What are you looking at?"

When Ye Yaoguang saw that Huo Jingyan was looking at the personal profile of the celebrity Sheng An, she froze, "Is President Huo planning to take me to see his movie? I heard that one of his recent movies had a box office of over five billion, and his acting is exceptionally good. I've always wanted to see it, but going to the cinema alone feels too boring. Shall we go see it now?"

There was a faint fragrance on Ye Yaoguang's body from having just bathed.

The scent of the hotel's body wash.

When Huo Jingyan smelled the fragrance, his expression turned cold, and he ruthlessly pushed Ye Yaoguang away.

At this moment, Huo Jingyan could not quite understand himself.

He clearly did not like Ye Yaoguang, and at times even wanted to stay away from her, yet he often could not control the urge to sleep with her.

This conflicted emotion made him occasionally unable to help but doubt himself; was he simply in need of a sense of novelty?

If Nannan were to find out about this, she would absolutely never forgive him.

"President Huo, you turn cold and refuse to acknowledge people after the fact; how heartless. You were so eager and domineering just a moment ago, my waist still hurts." Ye Yaoguang was not angry; instead, she acted coquettishly.

During the time they had been together, he had often been this way, turning cold and refusing to acknowledge her.

Once off the bed, he wore a completely different face.

No matter how wild they were together, he had always been cold toward her.

However, she looked down at her slightly protruding, yet barely noticeable abdomen with a sense of pride and anticipation; just wait a little longer, when the real opportunity comes, she would be Mrs. Huo, and Jiang Nannan would have to vacate the position of Mrs. Huo for her.

"Put on your clothes and leave the hotel," Huo Jingyan said coldly.

Ye Yaoguang's expression stiffened, "It's so late, I..."

Huo Jingyan crushed the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and looked down at Ye Yaoguang, "Do you know the consequences of not listening?"

Ye Yaoguang immediately dared not say another word and put on her clothes to leave the hotel.

After Ye Yaoguang left, Huo Jingyan called Jiang Nannan.

The call did not go through.

Was she on a plane?

Huo Jingyan looked toward the direction of home in the distance outside the hotel and made a decision in his heart; Jiang Nannan did not need to continue this job.

——

After finishing their meal and just walking out of the restaurant, Qiao Muting received a phone call.

After hanging up, he asked her, "There's something going on with Jiang Tu, I'm going to go check on him."

"Alright, be careful on the road, I'll head home first."

Watching Shu Xia drive away, Qiao Muting got into his car.

A few dozen minutes later, Qiao Muting arrived at Jiang Tu's home.

Just as he entered the door, what met his eyes were wine bottles scattered all over the floor.

This large flat was the place where Jiang Tu often stayed.

"What's the situation?" Qiao Muting glanced at the stubble-faced Jiang Tu.

Jiang Tu glared at Qiao Muting with a resentful look, "If only you weren't my brother."
