She opened the door and was greeted by Huo Chen’s welcoming figure.

He looked worried.

Lu Zhaoyang knew how weary she looked after a night without sleep.

“You...”

“Chen, let’s go back.”

Lu Zhaoyang interrupted him. She tried to force a smile on her face but failed.

Huo Chen had expected from last night that something had happened, so he was not taken entirely by surprise.

Lu Zhaoyang’s dry eyes suddenly flooded with tears again.

“They found out about us. I have no idea how to continue living here. I don’t want to force my mother into a dead end because of me. She will be treated badly in the Huo family. If she did something foolish, I will never be able to lead a peaceful life.”

Her life... was never meant to be peaceful anyway.

Her marriage to the devil had sealed her fate as a debtor for the rest of her life.

Who knew what would happen if she went back, but she was certain that her life will not be any better.

“... I’m sorry. You did so much for me, but I have let you down.”

Chen had always been by her side, taking care of her. However, she was about to throw all his efforts away because of her own lack of determination.

She enjoyed this short moment of happiness. It would be enough for the rest of her life.

Huo Chen took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

Were they really going to leave each other after such a short time?

His heart grieved at the thought...

As he wiped her tears dry, he considered her suggestion.

In the end, Huo Chen put his hands on her shoulder and spoke with deep earnestness.

“Yang Yang, whatever decision you make, I will support you unconditionally. If you want to back, I will go with you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side.”

Perhaps returning would help ease her mind and let her rest better at night.

He could also take the chance to confess to his family about his love for Lu Zhaoyang, the only woman he would ever marry.

Reputation did not matter to him. As long as they were not related by blood, they can still be together!

“Thank you.” Lu Zhaoyang bit down on her lips and tried to stop crying.

She was deeply thankful for the reprieve away from Huo Yunting.

She was grateful for the quiet but stable and beautiful memories he had given her here.

She was grateful that he was willing to go back with her and face the troubles at home.

“Let’s have breakfast first. We don’t have to return so soon. We can still spend a few days here, like a vacation.”

Huo Chen held her hand and guided her to the dining table.

“Chen, this is urgent. I think we should leave today...” She smiled bitterly and sighed.

“Alright.”

Huo Chen replied without hesitation, but the flicker of dismay in his eyes betrayed his true emotions.

No matter how rushed they were, breakfast was still a must.

After finishing breakfast, they left the cottage. They did not bring much to the cottage in the first place and they left in similar fashion.

On the flight home, Lu Zhaoyang finally slept with her head resting on Huo Chen’s shoulder.

The sleepless night before had exhausted her.

Huo Chen did not move throughout the flight for fear of waking her up.

It was already ten at night when they reached the Huo family residence. It was late, but no one in the house was asleep.

When they entered the living room, a ceramic tea cup crashed onto the ground. It sounded like a slap on Lu Zhaoyang’s face.
