Capítulo 973: Chapter 974: Sobbing in Pain…

Or did he feel that, as he was about to get engaged, he no longer wanted any relationship with women other than Ruan Qiuting, and that’s why he didn’t return?

Huo Yishan also considered this second possibility.

But the more she thought about it, the more uncontrollably her heart throbbed with deep pain.

She never intended to interfere in his life. The reason she wanted to make that call might have been to say goodbye, or perhaps… she wanted a clear answer.

In her mind, the tender and lingering kiss kept flashing, but every scene was like a sharp blade piercing her heart, causing indescribable pain.

When questioned by Huo Yishan, Gu Qiangwei was also taken aback.

Yes, even if Yishan’s call wasn’t answered, based on Li Yuan’s past personality, he would have definitely called back after seeing the missed call. Why didn’t he?

The second possibility that Gu Qiangwei thought of was the same as Huo Yishan’s.

Is it really because he’s about to get engaged, so he doesn’t want any further involvement with Yishan?

No, that’s impossible. Follow current novels on novel⸺fire.net

In the end, Gu Qiangwei denied this possibility.

“Young Master, Young Madam, dinner is ready. You may begin,” Uncle Qin approached, interrupting the trio’s conversation.

Gu Qiangwei sighed lightly and then smiled as she stood up, “Let’s eat first.”

At the grand dining table, Huo Yishan still found the food tasteless.

Yet she was not accustomed to showing this side of herself, so she picked up her chopsticks at the table, eating absentmindedly.

“Here, your favorite Kung Pao Chicken!”

Gu Qiangwei reached out and intentionally switched her favorite Kung Pao Chicken with another dish in front of her.

However, upon receiving it and seeing the carrots inside, she paused slightly, “Uncle Qin.”

“Didn’t I instruct them not to add carrots?” She knew that one of the vegetables Huo Yishan disliked the most was carrots!

Looking at the yellow carrot cubes on the plate, Uncle Qin paused too, “Perhaps the chef forgot. Should I ask them—”

“No need,” Huo Yishan suddenly spoke up.

She knew that Gu Qiangwei instructed them not to add carrots because she didn’t like them.

“But don’t you dislike it?” Gu Qiangwei frowned.

Huo Yishan smiled, “I’ll just pick them out.”

With that, she scooped a spoonful, put it into her rice bowl, and started picking out the carrot cubes one by one, placing them on a small plate.

As she picked at the carrot cubes, Huo Yishan suddenly paused.

Then, pearl-like tears dripped into her rice bowl, blurring her vision.

[Eat them all, boost your vitamins!]

[What are you doing? I don’t like carrots!]

[A balanced diet is essential for good nutrition.]

Every dialogue was like a thorn piercing her heart, making her uncontrollably sob.

“Yishan, what’s wrong?”

Seeing her suddenly cry while picking at the food, Gu Qiangwei was so startled that she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks!

“What’s wrong, why are you crying!?”

Faced with her inquiries, Huo Yishan was sobbing uncontrollably, holding onto her rice bowl with her head down, allowing her tears to fall like broken pearls.

The sobbing grew louder and louder, and eventually, Huo Yishan seemed to completely break down, her shoulders shaking fiercely with her sobs, ultimately sitting at the table, crying loudly without any regard for others!

She refused to speak, and Gu Qiangwei’s eyes welled up with a sharp ache.
