Chapter Fourteen Not Each Other's Only One

  Tong Mai woke up again in the dead of night, still in He Yi Ze's villa, but everything around him had returned to calmness, so quiet that it was unsettling, extremely uneasy...

  Don't appear in front of me again...

  This sentence of He Yi Ze, from the moment she woke up, kept echoing in her mind, constantly reminding her that even if she pretended to be strong and powerful; even if she didn't want to admit it, she was just a poor person who could be summoned and dismissed at will. But the fact was right in front of her, she was such a person, being manipulated by He Yi Ze, losing herself completely...

  Looking back on the bits and pieces of her acquaintance with Huo Yize, Tong Mai felt more and more that she was a ridiculous and pitiful person. One time she lost control of her indulgence, it brought her endless harm.

  Even if she will no longer have any involvement with Huo Yizhe, he is still a gap in her chest that perhaps no one can fill.

  The room still seemed to retain a faint aura of love, but this aura had completely turned cold and ruthless, just like the two of them, from passionate at first to icy and cruel in the end.

  She got out of bed, the sharp pain between her legs made it impossible for her to stand up straight, she was like a defeated soldier returning from battle, every part of her body was in agony and humiliation!

  She had always foolishly thought that she and Huo Yize should have some feelings for each other, but looking back, it was just her own self-delusion.

  Not showing up in front of him? She can definitely do that.

  As she was leaving, she saw the check on the bedside table...

  It was obviously left by He Yi Ze, the countless zeros dazzling her eyes, if it were in the past, she would have been overjoyed! However, now, she really didn't have any emotions.

  Hehe......

  Xiao Mai was secretly laughing in her heart! Now even if she gave her more money, even if she used money to buy her off, it wouldn't make up for the harm she had suffered. Moreover, by taking the check, wasn't that equivalent to admitting that she was a prostitute?

  She isn't! Moreover, she understands He Yi Ze's meaning, and he doesn't need to hand over the check in person. She had secretly taken his watch before, so he is certain that she will steal it again...

  The corners of Tong Mai's mouth curled up in a smile, a smile that was extremely sorrowful, looking utterly pitiful!

  Although her body was in pain and it wasn't suitable to leave, she didn't consider anything and took advantage of the time when everyone was asleep to step out of He Yize's villa...

  She didn't have any lingering feelings, in fact, she knew exactly what kind of person she was and what her identity was! Being with Huo Yize was fundamentally not a match made in heaven, and being with Li Xianning...she was even more unsuitable. She admitted that when chatting online with Xiaoa, they would occasionally exchange ambiguous words, but there were no feelings beyond friendship between them.

  The moment Tong Mai left, Huo Yize already knew...

  It's already one o'clock in the middle of the night, but neither of us can fall asleep!

  This is a private villa. If Tong Mai wanted to call for a car at this time, it would be impossible! He indeed didn't want to see her again, but he didn't let her leave at this moment.

  Emotions couldn't help but hold back a little bit of unease! After hesitating for a moment, I still followed behind her!

  Just consider it as doing the last thing for her, and don't give her any reason to continue lingering around him, making his heart restless...

  Even if Yín Yǔqí is no longer his favorite, they have a marriage contract and besides the years they spent together, he has a responsibility to give her a name, while Tóng Mài, she will be with him... just wanting revenge against the Yín family.

  Tong Mai walked slightly unsteadily on the villa path, the dim streetlights stretching her slender figure very long, thin and desolate...

  She was like a lost soul, wandering aimlessly on this path, without the fear she should have had, only mechanical movements. However, after spending a good deal of time, it seemed as if she was still spinning around in circles, going round and round, ultimately staying put.

  "Wooo..."

  She suddenly squatted down and burst into loud wails, as if she could no longer bear the pain that had been pent up inside her.

  The crying sound in the middle of the night was particularly startling to the ears, but for He Yi Ze, it felt like a dull ache in his heart, accompanied by threads of annoyance...

  He stood not far behind her, and didn't deliberately avoid her, but she didn't notice. Huo Yize couldn't help but blame her for being careless in his heart. If it were someone with ulterior motives, she would have been deceived long ago!

  "Huo Yize, you damn bastard! Go die! Go die! I don't care!"

  Who does he think he is? Does everyone have to like him? In agony and rage, Tong Mai let out a loud roar, as if wanting to vent all his grievances and indignation at this moment.

  "Auntie, I don't care about seeing you! Don't care..."

  After her outburst, she continued to cry, and Huo Yize didn't refute her at all. He just stood there, listening to her hysterical cries, listening to her scolding! Listening to the anger that had accumulated in her every word, as if he could somewhat understand Tong Mai's emotions at this moment!

  "It wasn't intentional, the first time... when I saw you in London... I really didn't know who you were, if... I had known earlier that you were Yin Yuqi's fiancé, I would have stayed far away."

  The voice gradually became lower and his whole body was filled with a sense of weakness.

  "How nice it would be if we didn't know each other..." At least she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state! Pitiful and wretched!

  Every word of Tong Mai's, He Yi Ze heard clearly! His chest felt heavy, as if a massive boulder had been pressed onto it, weighing heavily and suffocating...

  But he was very clear, anyway, he and Tong Mai would stop here. He would have a little liking for her which was completely beyond his expectation, his life did not want to change because of anyone, he liked to follow the predetermined plan, get married, have children, grow old...

  Obviously, Tong Mai was not in his plans.

  Marrying Yin Yuqi, even if he didn't love her enough and they didn't have a strong emotional foundation, he could still spend the rest of his life with her. After all, marriage wasn't that important to him; it was just one of those necessary things in life. Necessary because it had to be!

  As for love... he never quite believed in the so-called eternal true love, and that love was just a temporary passion that would soon subside!

  The passion for Tong Mai will eventually disappear someday in the near future...

  After a long time, Huo Yize stood behind her, lost in thought.

  Tong Mai's body curled up together, low sobbing sounds, and small murmurs of complaint... until the sound completely disappeared.

  Huo Yize cautiously approached her and saw that she had closed her eyes, curled up as if she was already asleep.

  He was well aware of her exhaustion, and the impact he had on her during the day was too great. It was already quite good that she could wake up in the middle of the night...

  Taking advantage of the dim light, Huo Yize gazed at Tong Mai's pale and tired face for a long time. His fingers couldn't help but gently touch her cheek, then withdrew, as if afraid of waking her up. The soft sensation on his fingertips made him unable to resist touching her face again, and her hair almost covered half of her face!

  Huoyi Ze's gentle touch, she didn't wake up, her body just kept trembling...

  He shouldn't care about her, she's frozen stiff, fallen ill, and it's none of his business. But somehow, actions didn't seem to be under the control of thoughts, and in the next second, he had unconsciously taken off his overcoat and draped it over her shoulders.

  She is really small, very slender, slender to the point of heartache, but every part of her body is the essence that makes men surrender, her tightness, fragrance, and Huo Yizhe's deep love from the bottom of his heart...

  What if they hadn't coincidentally met in London, but instead had met in a different way, or if she and Yinyuqi had swapped identities? What would have been the outcome between him and her?

  Her small body was wrapped in his suit jacket, curled up and slowly reclining backwards...

  "Tong Mai..." Huo Yize was somewhat angry at her current attitude, bellowing her name. If he hadn't followed her out, did she plan on sleeping recklessly on this road for a night? Everything she did seemed to be lacking a brain, doing things in a muddled way without considering the consequences...

  Tong Mai didn't respond. At this time, no one could wake her up. She herself didn't want to wake up! If possible, let her sleep like this and not think about waking up afterwards to face all sorts of things!

  Huo Yize grasped her shoulder, stared at her for a while, then suddenly swept her into his arms and strode away!

  Even if he had made up his mind not to bother her anymore, seeing her sleeping on the streets, pitiful and forlorn, he couldn't bear it.

  The way back to the villa was very close, and Tong Mai had actually not walked a long distance at all. Huo Yize hugged her body and walked slowly, as if he didn't want it to end, but the villa was just in front of them after all...

  He tightly hugged her back onto the bed, Tong Mai's body trembling violently, Huo Yize reached up to her forehead, a scorching sensation transmitted!

  Damn it, this woman...

  Huo Yize was more anxious than dissatisfied at the same time.

  During the day when they were entwined, due to annoyance, in order to make Tong Mai and himself sober, they had showered under the cold flower sprinkler for a full half hour...

  "What am I supposed to do with you?"

  Huo Yize gazed at Tong Mai, his grip on her palm tightening, a hint of deep helplessness seeping into his questioning tone.

  He is indeed helpless, very helpless, can't pick it up, can't put it down... There is only endless torture constantly circulating between each other.

  If possible, he didn't want to know her either. If they hadn't known each other, there wouldn't have been so many worries and attachments, nor would his life have been completely disrupted, making a mess of everything.

  But ironically, it was such a coincidence that they met, meeting at completely the wrong time and in the wrong situation.

  What else can he do? Pick up Tong Mai, take her out of the villa and leave for the hospital! In his actions, there was a gentleness and urgency that Tong Mai had never seen before. He had never done so much for any woman, she was the only one, but in the end... She couldn't be his only one, and he wasn't either!
