    After Huo Ting’s enlightenment, Dongdong realized that he was still too young and should not have hit someone on impulse.


    If he really wanted to hit him, he should have hit somewhere that couldn’t be seen!


    After getting home, he waved his hand and quickly went back to his room to take notes.


    After getting out of the car, Su Mianmian held Huo Ting’s hand, and he turned to look at her.


    She pursed her lips and asked, “Uncle, can we talk?”


    Seeing that she had something on her mind, Huo Ting took her to the back garden.


    The back garden was nted with roses, and the roses in the house were all picked from the greenhouse here.


    The roses here all looked better than those bought outside. Sometimes, the elders in the Huo family would get the housekeeper to send some over.


    However, Su Mianmian wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the beautiful roses.


    She looked down at the small stones near her feet and asked softly, “Uncle, Dongdong’s mother...why did she leave?”


    She knew that Uncle might be very unhappy if she asked this question, but she really wanted to know.


    In the past, she didn’t care so she never thought about knowing these things.


    But now it was different.


    She cared about Dongdong and also...Uncle.


    Therefore, she wanted to know more things, including... the past.


    The atmosphere was frozen at once. Su Mianmian raised her head and looked at Huo Ting’s back, but she couldn’t see his expression. However, she knew that Huo Ting was in a lousy mood at that moment.


    “She...” Su Mianmian suddenly regretted asking.


    “She didn’t want Dongdong.” Huo Ting said coldly, “If you’re worried about this, you can rest assured that she will nevere back.”


    Su Mianmian rushed up, put her arms around Huo Ting’s back, and whispered, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.”


    Huo Ting sighed and said, “Little Lamb, Dongdong is a child of the Huo family, he always will be...”


    “Um...”


    At that time, Su Mianmian didn’t think about what Huo Ting meant by this. It was only after many years that she understood the hidden meaning.


    ...


    Two dayster, Lei Aotian asked Huo Ting to meet at Color of Night.


    For the first time in three years, the two sat peacefully together.


    Huo Ting noticed that Lei Aotian was thinner than he was three years ago. There were bluish circles under his eyes, and his overall state didn’t look normal.


    “I know what you want to ask.” He said coldly after taking a sip of wine. “I didn’t lie to you. She was already dead when I saw her.”


    Lei Aotian looked at Huo Ting with bloodshot eyes.


    It had been three years. He actually knew the answer long ago, but he was just unwilling to ept it.


    “Serves you right!” Huo Ting said cruelly.


    Lei Aotian said fiercely, “That’s because you have never experienced the pain of losing your lover.”


    “Yes, but I will never experience it. Because I will not let the ones whom I love get hurt!”


    Huo Ting despised the way he acted. He didn’t cherish it when she was around, but acted like a devoted lover now that she was gone.


    “Yes! You won’t! I brought this upon myself!” Lei Aotianughed madly.


    Huo Ting looked at him for a while, frowning when he saw his crazy behavior. He said, “Let me warn you for thest time, don’t try anything funny on Little Lamb again.”


    After saying this, he drank finished the wine in the ss in one gulp, didn’t bother about him anymore, and left.


    Half a minuteter, Lei Aotian stopped his crazyughter and murmured, “Huo Ting, I want to see, how different is your so-called love...”
