Chapter 1440: After modification: Chapter 1437 Interrogation

It was intentional on her part, actually, Liu Zhe appearing here and finding Xiao Hao earlier wasn’t by chance. She wasn’t foolish; she knew there was a possibility Liu Zhe was involved.

But in her heart, she chose to trust his character, believing he wouldn’t deceive her.

“Yes, I understand, it’s just…”

“You stay here and wait for the rain to stop. I’ll go find our people.” Liu Zhe stood up, his tone soothing, “Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to bring him back safely.”

Huo Hongyan looked at his eyes in bewilderment, seeing calm and steadiness within.

Huo Hongyan called out, “Young Master Liu, please wait.”

Huo Hongyan made a decisive decision promptly, quickly taking off Liu Zhe’s outer garment and handing it to him.

Through the garment, Liu Zhe could see only her fair wrist, her beautiful hands holding his clothes, and he reached out to take them, vaguely catching a whiff of the unique fragrance of a woman.

“Mm.” Liu Zhe’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. He instructed Ru Mo beside him, “Take good care of Miss Huo.”

Ru Mo nodded hastily, “Okay…”

Liu Zhe stepped into the rain and left. The cave became very quiet. Huo Hao, fatigued, had fallen asleep with his head resting on Huo Hongyan’s lap. Qing He tugged at Huo Hongyan’s sleeve and whispered in her ear, “Young miss, do you trust Young Master Liu?”

Huo Hongyan didn’t answer immediately. She was stunned for a while, then after some time, she heard herself say, “I choose to trust him.”

Qing He moved her lips and rested her chin on her hand, “I wonder if Young Master Liu can catch that wretched monk, causing us so much worry.”

Huo Hongyan didn’t respond, forcing herself to calm down and analyze the situation.

“Miss Huo, my young master is a good person.” Ru Mo, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up.

Qing He retorted unceremoniously, “You are his servant, naturally, you would say that. My young miss is a good person too.”

“I never said Miss Huo isn’t a good person.” Ru Mo scratched his head, “My young master never meddles in others’ business, but today he helped Miss Huo, it must be because…”

“Stop talking,” Qing He interrupted Ru Mo angrily, “My young miss is very grateful to Young Master Liu.”

“I… I was wrong, don’t be angry. I was just talking nonsense.” Ru Mo, too honest by nature, especially in front of Liu Zhe, patted his mouth and dared not say more.

Qing He was still fuming.

But Huo Hongyan was in a daze.

She was indeed surprised; she knew Ru Mo’s nature well and understood he wouldn’t lie.

So, that means, in this lifetime, her husband also has feelings for her?

Huo Hongyan instinctively covered her chest with her hand, her heart pounding, unable to suppress her joy. A faint smile appeared on her lips.

Qing He’s puzzled voice sounded, “Young miss, why are you smiling?”

Huo Hongyan suddenly came to her senses and turned her head aside, “Ru Mo, I have something to ask you. If you can answer, I hope you’ll answer honestly.”

Ru Mo subconsciously nodded, feeling for a moment that Miss Huo’s voice was somewhat similar to the young master’s.

“Why did you follow us?”

“Ah…” Ru Mo scratched his head, not expecting Miss Huo’s first question to be so hard to answer. He didn’t understand the young master’s intentions and couldn’t casually reveal them.

“Miss Huo, how about you wait for the young master to return and ask him yourself? He will surely tell you.” Ru Mo hastily added the last sentence, hoping Miss Huo wouldn’t be angry.

Huo Hongyan was taken aback and realized that though Ru Mo was simple, he was also the most obedient to Liu Zhe. Without his command, Ru Mo naturally wouldn’t say anything.
