Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: Suspicion (2)

If it’s true, it really feels ironic.

Are some things just unavoidable?

"I see you’re recovering well now, and it’s almost time for me to leave." Gu Anjin bit her lip, frowned, and said, "Take care and rest well. I won’t visit you for a while..."

"Gu Anjin." Huo Xun’s voice suddenly lowered, his pale yet clearly defined face had a determined gaze, "Won’t you regret it?"

Gu Anjin felt her mind was a mess.

Yue Siqing had also asked her if she regretted it.

She didn’t know, she really didn’t know.

Her current mindset had indeed changed; she no longer had unconditional trust in Yue Siqing.

His secrecy, those mysteries, filled her with uncertain worry.

It was like a ticking time bomb, making her unable to confidently believe how long they could stay together.

"You want to know why I hate him so much, don’t you?" Huo Xun chuckled lightly, self-deprecatingly said, "Why, even though you know my name, they still can’t find me. It’s not just because I changed my name, but also because this face can’t be traced."

His long fingers gently slid across his own face, the curve of his lips was both wicked and filled with hate.

"What happened to your face?"

Huo Xun laughed coldly, "Of course, it was completely destroyed. I was only eight years old then, do you know what it’s like for a child unable to escape a fire? Maybe to some people, they couldn’t wait for me to burn to death. Yes, he really thought I was already dead."

Gu Anjin looked at his expression, seeming as if cold air had seeped through her, chilling her to the bone.

"Was it Yue Siqing who did it?" she uncertainly asked, her eyebrows knit tightly, looking at him.

Setting a fire to kill an eight-year-old child was unimaginable, she didn’t want to believe it.

Even in deep-seated feuds, it shouldn’t involve such hatred towards a child.

"He didn’t start the fire." Huo Xun’s voice was cold and deep, "But to me, it makes no difference."

The door was suddenly knocked on.

Qin Shi’s tone was grave, he opened the door and looked at Gu Anjin, "There’s a guest. Yue Siqing is here, he’s coming upstairs soon."

"I... I don’t know..." Gu Anjin, upon hearing Huo Xun’s words, already regretted previously agreeing for Yue Siqing to come pick her up.

But it was too late now.

"I assure you, I didn’t say anything, I just mentioned I was visiting you, and he said he’d pick me up." Gu Anjin hurriedly explained to the person on the bed.

Huo Xun’s expression changed quickly, he had already returned to his lazy look, appearing just like a harmless patient.

"Forget it." He told Qin Shi, "Invite the guest in."

Gu Anjin couldn’t quite put her finger on it but felt the relationship between Huo Xun and Yue Siqing was rather complicated.

It seemed to go beyond just an ordinary deep-seated feud.

Perhaps Huo Xun was just pretending, but to be able to keep up the pretense all this time without her genuinely disliking the person who had once kidnapped her was quite a skill.

"If you don’t want to see Yue Siqing, I’ll leave now and won’t let him in."

Huo Xun’s eerie gaze glanced at her, "I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of? No, you must be just afraid that Yue Siqing will be unhappy seeing you alone with me."

"No, that’s not it."

"Then what is it? Hmm?" Huo Xun pursued the question, amusedly saying, "Gu Anjin, I hope you won’t regret it later. Whatever the reason, thank you for hiding me, someone who’s constantly a threat to him, during this time."
