Chapter 545

~4 min read 720 words

Thinking of Huo Jingyan cheating with someone by her side, Jiang Nannan felt her heart tighten in waves, "Huo Jingyan... exactly how many people has he cheated with? How long has he been lying to me? He kept saying he loved me, but how many people has he said this word 'love' to? Shu Xia, Shu Xia... have I been living in a lie all this time?"

In a lie from beginning to end?

The man she had loved with all her heart had ended up using lies to trap her in a marriage she thought was perfect.

"I thought the love I encountered was the love from fairy tales, holy and beautiful, that we would be loyal to each other, and no matter how many temptations we faced, we could guard that place deep in our hearts that belonged to each other, but it turned out to be my own wishful thinking."

Jiang Nannan suddenly felt her breathing become a bit rapid.

Her heart ached as if it were being wrung.

Shu Xia hugged Jiang Nannan, "Right now it's just her few words, it's not yet time for a final conclusion."

After all, those calls of 'President Huo' and the chance encounter at the hospital could not confirm whether that President Huo was indeed Huo Jingyan.

Because she did not want Jiang Nannan to face such a cruel truth.

"I know I can't sentence Huo Jingyan to death before the end, but... Xia Xia, accompany me to her house. I can confirm this person is Ye Yaoguang, but I want to see the truth with my own eyes." Jiang Nannan made a difficult decision.

"Okay."

——

After waiting for about an hour, Huo Jingyan received a phone call.

"Hubby, a friend of mine suddenly has something come up. Her husband cheated, and she is heartbroken. Shu Xia and I are going to accompany her to face it together, so I won't be coming back tonight."

When Jiang Nannan made this call, she used great self-control to keep her tone normal.

But only she herself knew that she was giving Huo Jingyan a signal.

As long as Huo Jingyan took the initiative to explain the truth to her before the truth was fully revealed, then she would definitely not hate Huo Jingyan.

They were childhood sweethearts; she did not want them to have a falling out so ugly when facing this kind of situation.

However, after Huo Jingyan let out a sigh of relief, he was silent for a few seconds and said, "You've been accompanying your friend for these three hours?"

He had just received a call that there were no car accidents tonight.

For a moment, he had even been worried that Jiang Nannan had been kidnapped.

Fortunately, she was fine.

It was just that she had been acting less and less sensible lately and had also neglected him; even if it was an emergency, she didn't know to call him to report her itinerary.

Jiang Nannan had a lively and cheerful personality and had more friends than just Shu Xia, so it was normal for her to suddenly go accompany a friend.

"Yeah, hubby, I won't say more, I need to accompany her now." Jiang Nannan was afraid of revealing her emotions and dared not say too much.

Huo Jingyan gave a hum and hung up the phone.

Then, he made another call, "No need to investigate anymore."

He took out a cigarette again.

He smoked it slowly.

It was already past twelve o'clock; at this time, Jiang Nannan must be sleepy and wanting to go to bed.

Her friend's husband cheated?

Huo Jingyan abruptly pinched the cigarette; the word 'cheated' felt like a mockery to him. He dared not think about what Jiang Nannan's reaction would be if she knew he had cheated.

His heart tightened.

He called Qiao Muting again.

Qiao Muting had just arrived home.

He had originally taken a shower and wanted to get into bed to hold Shu Xia and have a good sleep, but he discovered that the figure of the woman he wanted to hold was not on the large bed.

Just as he was about to call Shu Xia, Huo Jingyan's call came in first.

At this hour, why would Huo Jingyan call him?

"Something up?" Qiao Muting asked.
