looked at the photos, they were quite pretty, she thought it was probably the brother's type.The phone connected, and Wen Man directly refused on the other end: “Mr. Huo, as I said before, I don’t wa...Ho Jiao was watching a movie, it was "Roman Holiday" from many years ago.

Hearing the sound, she looked up.

She and Jiang Lan hadn't seen each other for two or three days. He was very busy, and she wasn't idle either... Although they slept in the same bed every night, they didn't actually see each other much.

After a while, she sat up and said naturally, "Have you eaten"

Jiang Lan listened as Jian put his jacket on the back of the sofa.

He sat beside her and asked again, "Why don't you go to sleep first"

Huo Jiao blinked and looked at him straight in the eye, also asking, "Why are you back so late"

There was a long silence between them.

Jiang Lan held her, quietly holding for a while, he said: "After finishing this period of work will be free, recently the company things are more, later will accompany you more, where do you want to travel"

Hu Jiao could see his reluctance.

She believed that Jiang Lan still liked her, but Song Qingqing's death in front of him might have been a bigger shock. People have an instinct to protect themselves from trauma. She thought that every day when he faced her, he might think of how Song Qingqing died tragically.

He will feel guilty, how can they be so sweet and happy together

It's been so long, he hasn't come out of his shell, and she couldn't possibly force herself to go to him. Huo Jiao thought for a moment and said, "I got a movie role, filming overseas, it might take about six months."

Jiang Lan heard Song let go of her.

Under the light, his expression wasn't good. After a long while, he got up and gently loosened his tie, starting to unbutton his shirt, as if he were going to take a bath. His tone sounded more like an offhand question: "I didn't hear you say before, was it a last-minute decision Huo Jiao, why didn't you discuss this with me"

Huo Jiao did not give in.

She said, "The past two days, I wanted to discuss something with you, but you come back every night after 12 o'clock, and then you stay in the study. When I wake up in the morning, you're gone. Jiang Lan, listen, I don't know if I should be discussing things with you or with a husband!"

After all this time, she finally said it: "You're so busy mourning over Song Qingqing that you've forgotten you're married, you have a wife... No matter what, you should pull yourself together and move on with your life. Jiang Lan, listen, no matter how independent I am, no matter how much I don't expect anything from you, I still hope for a normal married life... But obviously, you can't give that to me, so what's wrong with me pursuing my career You can work overtime, can't I"

"I had no idea you were such a good talker!"

Jiang Lan's tone was emotionless.

But Huo Jiao knew he was angry.

Jiang Lan paused for a moment, regaining some composure. He looked down at her and said, "I'm not saying you can't pursue your career..."

Huo Jiao softly interrupted him, "But when you married Mrs. Huo, didn't you ever consider marrying a strong woman You liked me being beautiful and innocent, always waiting for you at home... But Jiang Lan, when I was waiting for you at home, you weren't there!"

He probably understood her feelings.

It's absolutely necessary to go!

He always cared for her, liked her, and felt guilty too. After thinking it over, he softened first: "Since you want to go, just go. It's only half a year... I'll visit you when I'm done."

This conversation, on the surface, seemed like Huo Jiao had won. However, she knew it wasn't truly so.

She murmured, "Perhaps marriage was a mistake."

Their relationship wasn't deep enough to be unbreakable, nor profound enough to make them rely on each other. At least she hadn't reached the depths of Jiang Lan's soul, and he hadn't reached hers either.

Perhaps it was disappointment that led her to go abroad.

Maybe in half a year, things will be different. This half year will be a time to cool down...

When she was taking a bath, Jiang Lan went downstairs and ate something. When he went upstairs again, he still went to his study. But as the night deepened and he returned to the bedroom, he was not as cold as usual. He took off her pajamas and gently covered her body...

When their emotions became overwhelming, they suddenly remembered the last time they felt this way, which was on their wedding day.
