After a long time, Cheng Anning came back to her senses and said with a stuttering mouth: "Nonsense! How can anyone be like this! Love goes both ways!"
Unexpectedly, Huo Yan's face darkened, "You don't like it?"
"Try with a straight face again!"
Huo Yan's face froze.
Cheng Anning couldn't help laughing, she reached out and pinched his cheek, and pulled it out. It felt so good and scary.
That handsome face was also transformed.
"Okay, since you said you like me, you have to try pursuing me again."
Huo Yan looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but nodded.
Night falls.
A splendid dance was held on the ship, and everyone could participate, wearing gorgeous dresses, imagining meeting their true love on the vast sea.
When Huo Yan appeared with Cheng Anning, most of the eyes were on them.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman are a perfect match made in heaven.
Qi Junhe's teeth were sore after just one look.
"Uncle Qi, what a coincidence."
"An Ning, you are very beautiful today, just like your mother."
Qi Junhe's eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.
"Really? I have never seen my mother wearing a cheongsam."
"I still have some photos of your mother there. I'll send them to you some other time."
"Thank you Uncle Qi!"
"No need to be polite to me."
Huo Yan glanced at Qi Junhe, quietly noticed the change in his expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He doesn't believe in old friends.
He and Qi Junhe are the same person. It is absolutely impossible for such a person to retreat behind the scenes and become the second male lead. The person he falls in love with will definitely stay by his side.
What happened back then... may not be as he said.
But Huo Yan would not completely anger Qi Junhe at this moment. He would wait until he got back to talk about everything.
Qi Junhe specially led Cheng Anning to meet many friends. In fact, he wanted his old friends to remember her and help her when they met in the future.
As a father, his belated protection could only be so subtle.
Cheng Anning met a circle of people and found that Huo Yan was no longer beside him, but chatting with several people of different skin colors and obviously from different places.
He looked a little strange in that way.
Qi Junhe pretended to be casual and said: "An Ning, what is your relationship with Mr. Huo?"
"Just...just friends."
"Does Uncle Qi look so easy to deceive?"
"Ahem, Uncle Qi, stop asking!"
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, but An Ning, do you really know this person?"
"What does Uncle Qi mean?"
"Huo Yan is not that simple. You have never seen his other side."
"Which side?"
Just as Qi Junhe was about to speak, he felt a chill on his back. He turned around and met the cold eyes cast by Huo Yan.
He is warning him.
Qi Junhe was silent for a while and said: "The day you find out and regret it, just tell me."
Although Cheng Anning felt confused, she also remembered it.
At the beginning of the dance, Huo Yan invited her to dance. With the cooperation from the bar, they danced in perfect harmony this time and received a lot of applause.
When the song ended, fireworks exploded in the sky, and large swaths of gorgeous fireworks lit up overhead.
Under the fireworks, she looked into Huo Yan's eyes.
At this moment, she heard the thumping sound coming from her heart.
It jumps very fast and cannot be controlled.
She knew she lost.
She wanted to speak, but her voice was muffled by the explosion of fireworks and could not be heard clearly.
Huo Yan tilted his head slightly, "What did you say?"
Cheng Anning smiled back and shook his head.
Next time, when no one is around, when it's quiet, she will tell him.
Just when Huo Yan was about to hold her hand and go to the deck to watch the fireworks, Cheng Anning fell down without warning.
"peaceful!!"
…
When he woke up again, Cheng Anning found himself lying on the bed, next to Huo Yan with a condensed look on his face.
She opened her mouth, her voice hoarse, "I...what's wrong..."
He helped her sit up and said in a low voice, "You fainted. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Cheng Anning's heart twitched hard, but she pretended to be calm, "Really? Maybe I'm too tired and haven't slept well."
He stared at her seriously, "Really?"
She smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise what else do you think it could be?"
"Cheng Anning, don't lie to me."
She pretended to be angry, "What, you really want me to get sick?"
Seeing that her expression didn't look like she was faking it, Huo Yan's face slowly looked better, but she was still worried, "Go to the hospital for a checkup when you get back."
God knows, the moment she fainted, his heart seemed to have stopped beating.
Such a lively person, one second was still showing a bright smile, but the next second his eyes were closed, his face was pale, as if he was dead, and he fell into his arms.
He almost went crazy.
It was Qi Junhe and his people who rushed them away and called a doctor.
But the equipment on the ship was limited, and doctors couldn't find any problems.
Cheng Anning knew that retorting at this time would only arouse his suspicion, so he nodded naturally: "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't had a physical examination for a long time."
Hearing this, Huo Yan actually relaxed a little.
"But I was a little hungry. It may have been due to low blood sugar that I fainted. I also danced and consumed too much."
Huo Yan said with a straight face, "Why don't you eat?"
"This cheongsam is too tight. I'm afraid I might get a stomachache after eating it."
"you……"
Huo Yan had no choice but to stand up and said, "Wait here." Then he went out to get some food for her.
After the others left, the smile on Cheng Anning's face disappeared.
She pressed her head, her face turned pale, and murmured to herself: "You are really too greedy..."
These days have been so happy and fulfilling.
It almost made her think that she could live like this forever.
She forgot.
She was disqualified from the beginning.
She is not qualified.
The eye circles suddenly turned red.
When Huo Yan came in with a tray, he found that Cheng Anning had fallen asleep.
He put down the tray helplessly, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her cheek, his fingers trembling.
It was ice cold, as if tears had been shed and dried.
He pretended not to know and withdrew his hand and whispered: "I fell asleep without eating... Little lazy cat, have a good rest."
He leaned over and kissed him gently on the face.
"Go to sleep."
He got up and walked out of the room.
In the room, Cheng Anning, who was supposed to be asleep, trembled slightly, tears slipped from her closed eyes and seeped into the pillow.
Outside the room, Huo Yan suppressed the tenderness on her face and turned it into a gloomy one. Her eyes were brewing with anger, but she could not find an outlet.
He knew that Cheng Anning must be hiding something from him.
In the top-floor office, Qi Junhe held the photo with red eyes and tears. He looked at the photo in despair.
"Xiang'er, An Ning fainted, just like you back then... Xiang'er... what should I do..."
His cry was heartbreaking. He hugged the photo and shouted over and over again: "What should I do...you are gone...something happened to An Ning...what should I do!" This chapter has been completed!
