Chapter 36: Dreaming of the Past >

n threatened to refuse treatment to coerce Huo Chenxi into marrying her.Huo Chenxi, who was raised by his grandmother, couldn't resist her and had to get the marriage certificate with her.They origina...Under Huo Chenxi's scorching gaze, Su He also thought of another meaning of this sentence. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared at Huo Chenxi angrily.

Her face, small and delicately features, was even more captivating when she glared at him with a mix of shyness and anger. Her expression was both charming and alluring, making it impossible to look away.

Huo Chen Xi felt like a naughty little hand was holding the softest feathers ever, scratching at his heart. A heat ran through him, like walking barefoot in the desert in August, with cool spring water rippling before him, so tempting he could barely contain himself to dive in and quench his thirst.

His throat bobbed, he leaned sideways, and a raspy voice came out: "Come in!"

In a low, almost menacing tone, Su He's face flushed with anger as if she wanted to slap him.

The flight attendant reminded them again that the plane was about to take off. Su He puffed up her cheeks, annoyed, and walked away.

The space was large, she had been careful to avoid Huo Shenxi, but as she neared her spot, she felt something ambiguous slide across her calf.

Su He felt like she had been struck by lightning. She froze for a moment, then practically leaped to her seat, quickly fastened her safety belt, and closed her eyes, unwilling to look at Huo Shen Xi again.

A low, playful snort seemed to come from Huo Shenxi's ear, causing Su He's heart to skip a beat. Like an ostrich, she refused to open her eyes.

Huo Yirou's words had some influence on her.

If she was really mistaken about the relationship between Bai Yihuan and Huo Chenxi before, what about the child

Su He's head was in a mess.

The plane took off, and after a brief turbulence, it finally leveled out.

Su He didn't sleep well last night, and coupled with her habit of falling asleep as soon as she gets on a vehicle, she unknowingly fell asleep and had a dream.

In her dream, she saw herself from a third-person perspective.

Her drunken, enraged foster father whipped wildly, lashing out at her and her foster mother with all his might.

She and her adoptive mother desperately tried to protect each other, which only angered their adoptive father. The blood-stained whip fell down more mercilessly.

Just when she thought they were going to be killed, Huo Chenxi descended from the sky.

Standing bathed in backlighting, Huo Chenxi's stunningly handsome face and tall, slender figure made Su He momentarily think she was looking at a god.

Huo Chen Xi saved them from their adoptive father's grasp, kicking the arrogant and vengeful man away with one foot.

After that, she and her foster mother were examined and treated by a team of professional doctors, while her foster father was sent to prison for selling women and children and abuse.

Su He thought she had been liberated, but unexpectedly her foster father had already sold her to a widowed old man in the next village.

The widower, upon learning that her foster father had been imprisoned, immediately came with his family to force her into marriage.

Even when her foster mother threatened death, she couldn't stop her. She struggled desperately but was dragged onto the flower sedan chair helplessly and with despair.

At the critical moment, it was Huo Chenxi who descended from the sky and personally rescued her from the encirclement.

When Huo Shenxi roughly pulled her red bridal veil off and tossed it aside with disdain, telling her she was free from now on, Su He saw the crimson wedding dress she wore and blushed. She was too embarrassed to look into his eyes, her heart overflowing with gratitude.

Time shifted, and Grandma Huo proposed that she marry Huo Chenxi.

Ho Chenxi immediately refused, offering to repay her kindness by adopting her and giving her the identity of a member of the Huo family, but was firmly rejected by Grandma Huo.

Knowing that Grandma Huo insisted on her marrying Huo Chenxi, Huo Yirou specially came to ask about her opinion.

"Su He, are you really willing to marry my older brother and be my sister-in-law" Huo Yi Rou worried that her gentle personality would make her unable to disobey her grandmother, "If you don't want to, I'll tell grandma."

Although Huo Yirou was not favored in the Huo family, she was willing to risk offending her grandmother for her. Su He was deeply touched, but still refused her kindness.

"I have no objections." She said, blushing and looking down.

"Big brother's personality... you and he are not from the same world at all. How could you be willing to marry him" Huo Yirou still couldn't believe it.

Su He refused to admit that she had fallen for Huo Chen Xi.

Huo Chenxi seemed like a celestial being, while she was as ordinary as earth. It seemed even to covet him was a sin.

Su He didn't know where she got the courage to speak up loudly, "He's handsome and rich, and he's the heir of the Huo family. If I marry him, I'll never have to worry about my life anymore."

Huo Yirou thought she was just desperate. Although she wanted to persuade her further, when she met Su He's eyes, she immediately understood.

Deception is merely a veil to conceal the love one dare not admit due to inferiority.

Although under the influence of the medicine, Su He felt groggy, she still sensed Huo Chen Xi's heat during their first time together. She endured it all, experiencing both pain and happiness.

Until she woke up, Huo Chenxi ruthlessly scolded her before resolutely leaving. She endured it all without complaint.

Huo Chenxi was still cold and aloof, while He Suwen became even more arrogant.

Until Granny Huo fell gravely ill, she held her hand, red-eyed and trembling as she whispered the only wish she had: to see her child with Huo Chenxi.

Su He summoned her courage and told Huo Shenxi about it, but was met with sarcasm.

After being wrongly accused for three years, Su He finally reached her limit and personally drugged Huo Chen Xi.

Every night, the frantic thirst for revenge clung to him. He deliberately tormented her, pushing her to beg him in, pleading with him to stop.

Until the very last night, she smelled his perfume and asked again, just as he received a call from the old house. He didn't even look at her, and got up without looking back.

"Don't leave..." Seeing him about to leave, Su He chased after Huo Shen Xi.

Huo Chen Xi resolutely left, leaving Su He to weep silently.

Until this moment, Su He had never hated Huo Chen Xi.

If Huo Chenxi hadn't made her abort their child...

Su He saw the cold hospital, where doctors in white coats cruelly picked up instruments and were about to kill her child.

Cold instruments pierced through the body, mercilessly churning within.

"Stop!" she cried, rushing forward to intervene, but she was too late. She could only watch helplessly as the doctor brutally extracted the unformed child.

That bloody, mangled mass was ruthlessly tossed into the trash.

"No, don't leave me..." Su He roared in despair, frantically lunging at the trash can, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Suddenly, a chill swept over Su He, bringing him back to consciousness. He finally opened his eyes.

The first-class cabin lights were dimmed, yet still warm and inviting, unlike the cold sterility of a hospital.

Realizing a chill on her fingertips, Su He lowered her head and discovered that she had somehow grabbed the hand of the person beside her.

She gripped very tightly, her fingernails digging deep into the flesh of his wrist, a hint of crimson visible.

The next second, she finally realized that Huo Chenxi was sitting beside her. She jerked her hand away from him.

The distant past, like a dream, ruthlessly ripped open the wound buried deep in her heart, revealing a bloody and mangled mess within.

"Dumped by a man" Huo Chenxi's dark and complex eyes swept over her crimson-red eyes, still glistening with tears. He coldly sneered, "Anyway, you have so many men around you, what's there to be sad about"

"Slap!" Su He gritted her teeth, glared at him, and suddenly raised her hand, slapping him hard across the face.ays listened to Su Heian.Not to mention Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin, even Yu Mu and He Jie, as well as the secretaries in the president's office, all felt that Shen Niannian seemed like a different...
