Chapter 501: He Still Cares About Her
Huo Hannian was stunned.
The woman in his arms hugged him tightly, her small face buried in his chest. There was a strong attachment between her tearful eyes.
He looked down at her.
She also looked up at him and her stag eyes landed on his well-defined handsome face. When she saw the coldness and disgust that flashed past his eyes, Wen Ruan felt like she had been hit in the head.
It was over!
When she saw him looking for her, she was too excited. She did not expect him to forget her now.
Her throwing herself into his arms just confirmed his thoughts that she was seducing him.
Wen Ruan moved away from him and put some distance between them.
She bit her lip and thought about how to explain it to him.
She thought that he would mock her, but she did not expect him to only look at her with a deep gaze. The expression in his eyes changed several times.
Just now, when she took the initiative to jump into his arms and hugged him tightly, the attachment and strong feelings were not intentional, but came from the depths of her heart.
The first time he saw her, she had chased after his car. Later on, she ran into him in the Siman Desert. After returning from the desert, she went to work in the S Group’s pharmaceutical department. Wasn’t her goal to get close to him?
She thought that her acting skills were good, but he had long seen through her poor acting skills.
He had been wondering what her motive was. At that moment, he had an answer in his heart.
She treated him as a substitute for someone in her heart!
Huo Hannian put the money in his pocket and took a step closer to her.
The night breeze blew into her nose along with the fresh and strong masculine scent on her body. Wen Ruan raised her long eyelashes and looked at his tensed face. She was about to say something when she heard him say coldly,” Tomorrow is the third day. If the formula is not out yet, you should get lost as soon as possible!””
In his heart, there was an indescribable frustration.
He had only met this woman a few times.
However, she had successfully attracted his attention.
Subconsciously, he felt that he did not like this type of woman, but he was inexplicably attracted to her.
This uncontrollable feeling made him feel terrible and manic.
Wen Ruan looked at his cold and unfeeling expression, and a faint bitterness spread in her heart.
A thin layer of mist appeared in her bright eyes. She didn’t respond to his words. She turned around and picked up the medicine basket, carried it on her back and walked forward.
Ye Qiuzi hadn’t found her yet, and she would go back to the mountain tomorrow.
Huo Hannian looked at the slender figure walking forward and frowned.
He even threw a tantrum after saying a few words to her?
“Head east.”
Wen Ruan took a few steps forward and suddenly saw a plant on a slope that looked like Ye Qiuzi. She walked forward.
” To the east. Don’t you understand?”
Wen Ruan ignored the people behind her. She walked to the slope and took a closer look.
It really was Ye Qiuzi.
A large area was hidden in the weeds. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to discover it.
Wen Ruan crouched down and was about to pick it when he suddenly slipped.
Everything happened too quickly. She did not even have the chance to retreat. Her entire body slid down with the loose soil.
Almost in an instant, a hand reached out from behind her and grabbed her arm. At the same time, she also fell in.
After a long slide, there was a deathly silence.
Wen Ruan was lying on his stomach. Although he was still conscious, his head was buzzing and his limbs were sore. He could not exert any strength.
After an unknown period of time, an angry growl was heard.” How much longer are you going to press on me?”
It was only then that Wen Ruan noticed that Huo Hannian had fallen with her. During the fall, he had protected her in his arms so that she would not be hurt.
Wen Ruan propped himself up and stood up. The moment she stood up, he stood up and distanced himself from her.
It was pitch black inside the cave.
Wen Ruan could not see his face clearly, but she could feel the sharpness and coldness in his eyes.
“I told you to go east, why didn’t you listen?”
In the silent space, his lowered voice carried a trace of anger that could not be ignored.
Wen Ruan shrunk his neck, knowing that she had implicated him, so he did not argue with him. He said softly,” I saw Ye Qiuzi, the formula just happened to be missing it. How would I know that the soil there was loose?””
After she finished speaking, he didn’t say anything else. The cave seemed rather quiet.
Wen Ruan rubbed her aching neck and seemed to have thought of something. She asked,” Are you hurt?””
Huo Hannian didn’t say anything. He took out his flashlight and looked in the direction of the pit. It was already buried.
They were now in a two-meter-high cave. The cave was very long, and the torchlight could not shine on the exit, nor could they hear any movement outside. It was as if they were isolated from the world.
Wen Ruan looked at Huo Hannian’s handsome face that was getting colder and colder. She rubbed her nose and turned her little head to the cave wall. She said softly,” Actually, you didn’t have to come over and pull me!”
“You’re still an employee of S Group.”
” Oh,” Wen Ruan said softly.” So Young Master Leng treats every employee so well.””
Huo Hannian was stunned by her words. He glanced at her coldly and turned to walk away.
Wen Ruan naturally did not dare to stay in the dark cave alone. Seeing him walk forward, she quickly followed.
After walking for nearly 200 meters, there was a stone wall in front of them.
He could faintly hear the sound of water flowing below. Huo Hannian took a closer look with the flashlight and saw cracks on the rock.
He turned to look at the woman behind him.”Come here.””
Wen Ruan stepped forward and handed her the flashlight.” Take it.””
Wen Ruan shone the flashlight on the wall. Huo Hannian raised his long legs and kicked the rock.
Ten minutes later, the cracked mountain rock was kicked by him, and a stone crack that could allow one person to pass through appeared.
He turned around and glanced at Wen Ruan. He took the flashlight from her hand and slipped through the crevice.
Wen Ruan stood rooted to the ground, not moving.
His footsteps gradually faded away. Wen Ruan leaned against the wall of the cave and hugged her slender arms. There was not a trace of fear in her heart.
Thinking of her slipping down, he immediately grabbed her, and when he couldn’t hold her anymore, he fell down with her, protecting her on his body, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.
Perhaps even he himself did not realize that he still cared about her!
After nearly half an hour, Wen Ruan could no longer smile.
Because the man who had left the room did not return after a while.
He couldn’t have left her here and left alone, right?
Wen Ruan’s phone had run out of battery and could not illuminate the room. She shouted at the slit,” Are you still there?”
No one responded.
Wen Ruan stuck her foot out of the seam and realized that it was hanging in the air. She quickly retracted her foot.
Just as she was feeling a little flustered, a deep voice sounded.” Jump down.”
Wen Ruan acknowledged.
Although she didn’t know what was going on down there, she knew that he would definitely catch her.
She closed her eyes and jumped down.
