Chapter 1078: Chapter 1079: Most Likely
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you wait for me in that place." Looking at her, he felt a mix of guilt and heartache.
Huo Yishan released him and shook her head, "No, it’s not your fault."
Not to mention that those people were sent by Ruan Qiuting, even choosing to wait there was her own decision. How could she blame him?
"Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked, staring at her.
Even though she looked much better, without hearing it from her own lips, he couldn’t be at ease.
Huo Yishan shook her head. The bandage on her forehead made it much less painful, and as for the rest of her body, she wasn’t hurt. After a night of rest, she felt a lot better.
Yet as she quieted down, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Where is Ruan Qiuting’s house?"
She suddenly asked. Li Yuan was taken aback, then frowned slightly, "Why are you asking about her house?"
"Just tell me where it is first." Her tone was calm, leaving Li Yuan unable to guess what she intended to do.
But suddenly a thought flashed in his mind. As soon as she woke up, she asked about Ruan Qiuting’s house. Could it be that those people last night... were from Ruan Qiuting!?
Realizing this possibility, Li Yuan’s eyes turned cold in an instant!
Staring at the safe and sound person in front of him, he asked softly, "Were those people last night sent by Ruan Qiuting?"
Huo Yishan turned her head, falling into deep thought.
She had been to country A several times, never encountering such a thing, nor had an enemy. Ruan Qiuting had just threatened her yesterday afternoon, and that scene happened at night. She couldn’t believe it was a coincidence.
"Most likely."
With determined eyes, she spoke resolutely.
Li Yuan also fell into thought. His deep, black pupils were unfathomable, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
After a while, Huo Yishan came back to her senses.
"You still haven’t told me where her house is." She must settle this score with her properly!
Li Yuan’s deep eyes glanced at her slightly, "You want to settle the score with her?"
"Absolutely!" came the unequivocal reply.
Knowing her vengeful nature, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to ask her to hold back for a few days.
"Shanshan, regarding this matter, hold back for a few more days."
His unhurried words made Huo Yishan’s face turn pale with bewilderment. Her confused gaze fell on his sculpted face, slowly parting her lips, "What do you mean?"
With those five words, Li Yuan understood she had misunderstood him.
"Shanshan, after these days, you can do whatever you want."
"Why wait for a few days?" she asked directly, as if something pierced her heart, leaving it a bit sore.
He looked at her, unable to be candid and tell her everything, "I won’t let those who bully you get away, but first, endure a few days. I promise you’ll have your chance to cause a scene at the Ruan family!"
His gaze was firm, not like he was just placating her.
But what Huo Yishan couldn’t understand was why wait a few days?
Perhaps, he had his unspeakable reasons.
Thinking of this, Huo Yishan felt at ease.
This score she would settle sooner or later, but since he said now is not the time, delaying it posed no problem.
"Alright."
Seeing her gently utter those two words, Li Yuan was even more drawn to her ability to both stand firm and let go, gently curving his lips, "Hungry?"
"Starving!" she said, like a spoiled little woman, slightly raising her face, speaking coquettishly.
