She was embarrassed.

After di

er, Ye Wanluo pushed Huo Tingchi out for a walk.

After the two of them left the lake, Wen Qing said in bewilderment, "How strange."

"What's strange about that?"

"I clearly felt that the person Miss Ye liked was you. However, when she was with you, Second Brother, she felt that it was very natural. The relationship between the two of them should also be pretty good, right?"

Huo Tingshen shifted his gaze away from her face and looked at the dark lake in the distance. He was silent.

Wen Qing pursed her lips, thinking that she might have said something wrong, so she stopped.

The peaceful midsummer night, even if the two of them didn't speak, they just sat there like a painting.

The person in the painting, listening to the cicadas and frogs, blowing the hot summer breeze...

In that instant, it became an eternity in Wen Qing's mind.

In the years that followed, whenever she thought of that scene, she realized that it had truly been beautiful.

Ye Wanluo and Huo Tingchi would be back in half an hour.

Because she pushed Huo Tingchi herself, she was already sweating profusely after going out for a spin.

She got Huo Tingshen and Wen Qing to take care of Huo Tingchi, so she went into the bathroom first.

Huo Tingchi chatted with Huo Tingshen for a while, and when Wen Qing didn't say anything, he asked, "Miss Wen, when are you and Tingshen pla

ing to get married?"

"Huh?" Wen Qing was stu

ed for a moment. This ?? Isn't it too far?

Huo Tingshen smiled and said, "Our plan is this year, but if too many things happen this year, it might be delayed until next year."

"If that's the case, then... Shouldn't we meet? "Oh right, I haven't asked, what are Miss Wen's parents like?"

Wen Qing clenched her fists slightly. "I ??"

She didn't know how to answer.

Huo Tingshen smiled. "Second Brother, Qing's mother is no longer here. So, from now on, our family doesn't need to mention this anymore."

Huo Tingchi nodded. "Miss Wen, I'm sorry. I just asked something I shouldn't have."

Wen Qing smiled, "It's okay, you don't know about it, Second Master."

Huo Tingchi raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's getting late, shouldn't we go back and rest?"

Huo Tingshen got up and pushed Huo Tingchi's wheelchair. He said to Wen Qing, "Go in and tell Ye Wanluo that I want to push Second Brother back so that she can get ready."

"Alright."

Wen Qing entered the villa before him.

When she arrived at the door of Huo Tingchi's room, she knocked, but there was no response from inside.

She pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"Miss Ye."

Still no one answered, Wen Qing was puzzled. Didn't Ye Wanluo say she was back for a bath? Why is there no one in the room?

She looked in the direction of the bathroom, hesitated for a moment, then walked over. As she walked, she asked, "Miss Ye?"

Still no one answered.

She gently pushed open the bathroom door and looked inside.

Behind the thin, transparent white curtain, a huge white tub could be clearly seen.

The tub was filled with water, and a layer of red rose petals floated on top, dark red like blood.

At the edge of the bathtub, there was a glass of red wine.

Ye Wanluo was lying on the bathtub with her hair loose and wet. Her eyes were tightly closed.

Seeing this, Wen Qing's legs softened and she staggered a step back.

In that instant, her mind flashed back to that stormy night five years ago.

historical

The bathtub stained with blood, his lifeless mother, and the blood that flowed along the floor ??

She covered her ears, closed her eyes, and knelt down on the ground, screaming like a madman.

"Ah ??" "Ah ??

Hearing this scream, Ye Wanluo, who was sleeping in the tub, was jolted awake.

Seeing Wen Qing, she hurriedly got up from the tub, pulled on her bathrobe and walked forward.

"Miss Wen, are you alright?"

At the same time, Huo Tingshen, who had already pushed Huo Tingchi into the living room, also heard Wen Qing's scream.

He left Huo Tingchi and rushed into the room.

He walked to the door of the bathroom and saw Wen Qing squatting on the floor, hugging her head tightly and screaming.

Ye Wanluo had a head full of wet hair. She helplessly squatted on the side and called out 'Miss Wen'.

He walked up and hugged Wen Qing before looking at Ye Wanluo. "What's going on?"

Ye Wanluo looked at him strangely and shook her head. "I don't know. I fell asleep in the tub and was woken up by Miss Wen's scream. When I opened my eyes, I saw this scene. Tingshen, I ??"

Huo Tingshen didn't reply, he only lowered his head to look at the screaming Wen Qing and pulled her into his embrace.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm here."

Seeing Huo Tingshen's care and gentleness towards Wen Qing, a certain corner of Ye Wanluo's heart felt painful as if someone stabbed her ruthlessly.

She was jealous of Wen Qing, and she was jealous of her as if she had gone mad.

Wen Qing didn't know what she was doing or even how she was screaming.

In her mind, all she could recall was the blood that filled the bathtub, her mother's pale face, and the wine glasses that rolled on the floor.

At that time, it was as if the fear had suddenly returned to her mind and fiercely struck her heart.

She was scared, she was scared, she was trembling all over.

Her screams drew Huo Tingren from upstairs.

When Huo Tingren came downstairs, he saw Huo Tingchi struggling to turn the wheelchair to go back to his room, so he pushed Huo Tingchi in.

After entering the room, Huo Tingren saw the situation, and anxiously said, "What's going on, Third Brother? What's going on?"

Ye Wanluo stood up and ran out in her bathrobe.

She came to Huo Tingchi and squatted down with a wronged look on her face. "I don't know. I just fell asleep in the tub. I was woken up by Miss Wen's scream. I don't know what happened. Really, I don't know."

Huo Tingchi looked at him and raised his hand to gently stroke her head. He patted her hand that was on his knee and said, "Don't worry, Wu Tie will take care of this."

Ye Wanluo closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.

She was also shocked.

Huo Tingshen held Wen Qing's face in his hands and forced her to look at him.

"Wen Qing, open your eyes and look at me."

When Huo Tingshen's figure appeared in front of her eyes, the image in her mind was instantly shattered.

She threw herself at him as if she was looking at her lifesaver, and hugged him tightly.

"Huo Tingshen ??"

Huo Tingshen felt her fear.

"He put one arm around her waist and the other behind her head, which was resting on his shoulder." "It's fine."

The room seemed to have fallen into silence.

Huo Tingshen carried her horizontally and said to Huo Tingchi, "I'll take her back with me. You guys should get some rest as well."

Then he went upstairs first.

He entered the room. He put her on the bed.

He half sat on the bed and gently caressed her forehead. "Are you willing to tell me what happened?"

Wen Qing looked at him and shook her head.

Huo Tingshen caressed the hair at the side of her ears. "Then ??" Do you want me to go out and be alone for a while? "

She still did not speak.

Huo Tingshen thought that she had tacitly agreed, so he stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, she reached out her hand to hold his sleeve tightly without letting go.
