"Huo Mien, where is she?" Rick asked nervously.
"She's in my room. Go in and take a look," Huo Mien lied without thinking. Today, she finally realized how good she was at acting.
Seeing Rick rush in, Huo Mien smiled proudly. When she went downstairs, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Dr. Huo, what's going on?" Tang Chuan asked.
"Nothing, eat your food." Huo Mien smiled.
"My wife was right. It seems like Goddess Huo is trying to set them up today …" Wei Liao chuckled.
"Yes, yes, yes. Your wife is always right. She's the smartest." Then, Huo Mien added, "Hey, you're slightly better. You taught her well …"
Huo Mien rarely joked around like this. Everyone burst into laughter.
Wei Liao was a little embarrassed …
Huo Mian sat down and picked up a piece of Liangpi with her chopsticks. She was about to eat when Su Yu slapped her chopsticks away.
"What do you mean?" Huo Mien looked at Su Yu in confusion.
"You're just out of confinement. Don't eat something so cold."
"…" Huo Mien was speechless.
Everyone knew what was going on. Su Yu had been gentle with Huo Mien for a long time. Everyone was used to it.
Upstairs, in Huo Mien's bedroom.
When Rick rushed in, he saw Xixi standing there unharmed. Rick knew that Huo Mien had planned this.
He was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to leave, Xixi called out to him.
"Rick …"
"What's up?"
"Do you really hate me so much that you want to leave as soon as you see me?" Xixi was a little heartbroken.
"I think … we've made ourselves clear enough, haven't we?" Rick replied calmly.
Cece gathered her courage and walked over to Rick's side.
"Rick, I have to explain to you … I really didn't do it. I didn't betray Huo Mien on purpose. It really wasn't me?"
Rick didn't say anything and just kept silent.
"You don't believe me at all! Do you think I'm that despicable? You even betrayed your own friends? "Xixi questioned.
"There's no point in talking about this now, Xixi. It really doesn't matter anymore," Rick said casually.
Xixi, on the other hand, was devastated. She walked up to Rick with tears in her eyes.
"But this is very important to me. It's the happiness of my life … Rick, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so naive. I shouldn't have made the decision to look for Huo Mien. I almost killed her and the baby. I really didn't do it on purpose. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Like a child, Xixi tugged at the corner of Rick's shirt and sobbed as she apologized.
"Xixi, you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault."
"No, I know I was wrong. Rick, can we not break up? I really don't want to leave you. This is the first time I've loved someone so seriously …" Xixi abandoned her dignity as a girl and confessed her feelings to Rick.
To be honest, Rick was struggling in his heart.
He didn't want to drag an innocent girl like Xixi down with him. He didn't want to waste her youth. He didn't want to be with her forever.
Therefore, he bit the bullet and said, "Xixi, I think I've made myself clear. Let's not waste any more time. I still have things to do … I'll leave first."
Then, Rick abruptly walked away, shaking off Xixi's hand that was tugging at his shirt. Xixi felt completely disheartened.
When Rick was about to step out of the door, she couldn't help but cry and ask, "Rick, tell me, have you ever loved me? Is our love a one-man show? Am I the only one who gets high? What am I to you? Trash? Can you throw me away just like that? Yes! Tell me … "
After hearing Xixi's question, Rick felt a slight pain in his heart.
