Chapter 30: Heavy on the mind

"A clue to the truth of the matter?" When he said this, Lu Chaonuan's voice became obviously serious.

Her brow furrowed together, as if she didn't really want to remember. But...... She has been in prison for so many years, and her innocence, and the truth of the matter, should always be revealed.

She thought so, so she looked up at Qin Jinnian and asked.

"Why do you think this matter has something to do with Huo Yiran?"

She had known that man for such a short time, she had never seen Huo Yiran before that, how could he know about it after seven years?

Qin Jinnian saw her worries, how could he not understand her as a childhood sweetheart who grew up together? It was precisely because of this that Qin Jinnian couldn't help frowning deeper.

Her reaction was to show that she cared about the man.

And what Qin Jinnian said next might make her feel uncomfortable.

"Chao Nuan, I have been secretly helping you investigate the truth of your imprisonment in the past seven years since I left, and I came back this time to find out the truth of this matter, so that you will no longer bear the grievances. The clues I have now in my hands show that Huo Yiran is a man who has something to do with this matter, so I hope you can cooperate with me, if you want to know the truth of that matter, you'd better stay away from that man. ”

Lu Chaonuan's expression was complicated, she knew that Qin Jinnian would not deceive herself, and there was no reason to casually make up a reason to slander Huo Yiran. But she just felt that the matter would not be as terrible as Qin Jinnian's investigation, and Huo Yiran could not have anything to do with his imprisonment.

She didn't know how to explain this concern, but there was an inexplicable trust that she believed in the man.

However, she knew better how disappointed he would be if she said these words directly to Qin Jinnian, and Lu Chaonuan could only retreat and respond with half yes and half refusal.

"Okay, I will cooperate with you to find the truth, but as for leaving Huo Yiran, I will think about it."

"Morning warmth!"

Qin Jinnian was a little anxious, seeing that Lu Chaonuan's attitude was obviously charmed by that man, he called her name in a hurry, but he didn't know how to persuade her next. I could only say halfway through the words, sighed, and answered slowly.

"Okay, then you think about it. I still have something to do, so let's do it for now, I'll look for you if I have more clues. He got up a little disappointed, and found a casual reason to part with her for a while.

He was worried that if he continued to stay, he might not be able to accept her current state and that something would happen.

When Lu Chaonuan saw him leave, he also got up and walked outside the store.

Walking down the street full of thoughts, she suddenly felt that someone was following behind her, she walked slowly, the person behind slowed down, she walked a little faster, and the people behind immediately followed, anyway, they kept a short distance.

Lu Chaonuan didn't care too much about the existence of this 'stalker', since she had an accident last time, Huo Yiran had arranged for someone to follow her to protect her safety.

She didn't pay attention to the person who had been following her left and right, but instead put all her thoughts on what Qin Jinnian said to her.

Qin Jinnian will not lie to himself.

She knew that. She had a huge question, if Qin Jinnian really didn't lie to herself, then did Huo Yiran really have anything to do with her imprisonment back then? She didn't want to believe the idea either. Because I have known Huo Yiran for so long, although I know that he is an indifferent and ruthless person.

But when it comes to himself, his intentions are visible to everyone.

Even if the imprisonment really had something to do with him, Lu Chaonuan really found it difficult to convince himself to believe it.

The more she thought about it, the more troubled she felt, Qin Jinnian suddenly returned with this accusation after disappearing for seven years, while Huo Yiran frequently reached out to help when she was most in danger.

One is a childhood sweetheart who 'ran away', and the other is a 'benefactor' who helps him in times of crisis. Who should she believe?

Lu Chaonuan was a little confused, but a voice in her heart kept telling her.

Qin Jinnian would not deceive herself no matter what, the more she thought about it, the more she felt a headache, if her imprisonment back then really had something to do with Huo Yiran, then how should she face this man who was about to marry her? Her heart suddenly went cold.

If it really has a relationship, isn't this marriage another conspiracy?

She was thinking too hard to notice her feet, and she tripped over the stone and almost fell, but when she fell forward, a hand reached out in time to grab her.

When she looked back, it was a sturdy man in a suit and sunglasses, and she knew that he was the one who had been secretly protecting her, so she smiled and thanked him apologetically.

"I'm sorry for you."

"It's fine." The big man spoke, and his voice was very rough. After helping the woman to stand firm, he was ready to walk back to the normal distance to continue protecting her.

"Miss Lu, please pay attention to your own safety." Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell him.

Lu Chaonuan felt that he was really embarrassed to trouble people like this, so he simply decided not to want to do it and go home first.

When she got home in a daze, she saw that the door in the study was open, and she knew that Huo Yiran had returned.

Thinking of the agreement she had with him in the company, she knocked on the door and walked in, looked at him embarrassedly, and said, "I ......"

"Where have you been?" Huo Yiran opened his mouth, his voice was a declarative sentence rather than a question, and his extremely indifferent tone couldn't tell if he was angry.

Lu Chaonuan lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and didn't dare to admit her mistake, and didn't know what to say to make Huo Yiran no longer suddenly be so indifferent to her.

"Me, I left because something happened suddenly."

"No greetings."

Huo Yiran was busy dealing with the work at hand, and added a sentence to her words with a little indifference in her tone.

Lu Chaonuan felt that her current situation seemed to be more embarrassing, and she wanted to explain the perfunctory past casually, but she forgot that Huo Yiran was a man who paid attention to details.

He is also a president who doesn't like to be released by people. She now knew that she had made a big mistake, and she wanted to explain and say sorry, but the man didn't give her a chance.

"The owner of the bridal shop just called, and you have made an appointment for more than an hour to try on the wedding dress."

Huo Yiran said this very indifferently, his expression seemed silent on the surface, but in fact, he was a little angry in his heart, but he was not the kind of person who casually put his emotions on his face, he hid it very well, and he was very good at hiding his emotions.

"Go by yourself, I still have something to do."

He still didn't lift his head, his focus on his work. Lu Chaonuan knew that he was really angry, but he was sulking.

Since he didn't want to speak, she was too embarrassed to find fault for herself.

He turned away with a playful sigh.

Huo Yiran's indifference and lack of attention made her feel a little disappointed, but what she cared more about was that matter, if Huo Yiran was really involved, then she hoped that Huo Yiran would treat her with this attitude in the future, and don't give her too much false hope, so as not to fall into the cliff when the time comes.

She was afraid that she would die because of it.
