Chapter 208: Five Years Ago
“President Huo, what a coincidence.” Sun Chen saw Huo Chuan and remained unperturbed by his cold face. Instead, he smiled and greeted him.
Huo Chuan glanced at Sun Chen coldly and then looked at Yun Qing. “Yun Qing, I have something to talk to you about.”
Yun Qing frowned slightly—something to talk to her about? Was there even anything to talk about between them?
“President Huo, I have something to do now. We can talk about it later,” Yun Qing refused.
“Yes, President Huo, Yun Qing and I are going to have dinner. If it’s not something important, you can look for Yun Qing later,” Sun Chen said with a gentle smile, but his words were provocative.
As a result, Huo Chuan’s heart was alight with an unexplained fire.
Ever since he came back from the deserted island, he had never invited Yun Qing to have dinner with him. Now, Sun Chen had beaten him to it.
At the thought of this, Huo Chuan did not want the two of them to leave all the more.
“Yun Qing, just answer me this. Is this you?” Huo Chuan took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Yun Qing.
Yun Qing looked at the photo and was stunned.
The red color on the photo was extremely eye-catching, standing in stark contrast, among the chaos and desolation in the surroundings.
“Five years ago, were you in Europe?” Huo Chuan asked as he looked at Yun Qing expectantly.
Ever since Captain Xu told him that the girl he saved in Europe five years ago was very likely to be Yun Qing, Huo Chuan had sent many people to investigate the girl in the red dress.
The hard work paid off. Only minutes ago, Li Yi had sent this photo to him.
When he saw that the girl in the photo was almost identical to Yun Qing, Huo Chuan grew extremely excited.
It turned out that fate had tied them together a long time ago.
The girl who sacrificed herself to save the child was Yun Qing.
However, just as Huo Chuan was waiting expectantly for Yun Qing’s reply, Yun Qing’s reply was like a bucket of cold water pouring over his head, “That isn’t me.”
Although Yun Qing’s heart was in a turmoil, she did not want to admit it.
She did not want to bring up the past, and she did not want Huo Chuan to use the reason of saving her twice to carry out a moral kidnapping on her. She also did not want to admit that her heart was already enraptured the moment Huo Chuan saved her five years ago.
When he heard Yun Qing’s words, Huo Chuan’s hand that was holding the photo stiffened and he cried out, “Impossible! This has to be you!
“I still remember that day when you rushed up to protect a child!”
“President Huo, there are many people who look like me in this world. This girl is really not me.” Yun Qing was expressionless as she poured cold water on Huo Chuan’s head again. “I’m hungry and want to go eat. Let’s talk about it later.”
After saying that, Yun Qing walked toward Sun Chen’s car and left Huo Chuan behind.
Huo Chuan’s hands trembled slightly as he watched Yun Qing leave.
Only after Sun Chen’s car disappeared from Huo Chuan’s sight did Huo Chuan regained his senses. He picked up the photo and looked at the girl on it again.
It was clearly Yun Qing.
No matter what, Huo Chuan would still recognize her.
However, why would Yun Qing deny it? Was it because she didn’t want to have anything to do with him?
At the thought of this, Huo Chuan’s heart twitched.
After Yun Qing got into the car, she remained silent for a long time. She stared at the scenery outside the window.
“The person in the photo just now… it was you, right?” Sun Chen broke the silence in the car and asked tentatively.
Yun Qing smiled. “Did it really look like me?”
“I can tell that you’re lying.”
Hearing that, Yun Qing turned to look at Sun Chen.
“Although I don’t know why you lied to Huo Chuan, since it’s your choice, my lips are sealed.” Sun Chen smiled gently.
Yun Qing said nothing else. She didn’t expect Sun Chen to notice her fleeting emotions.
However, Huo Chuan did not seem to notice anything amiss.
Yun Qing did not expect Huo Chuan to move at the same time as her. She had clearly asked Yun Zhe to help her investigate that soldier.
Was her recurring dream a sign?
Although she had suspected that the soldier was Huo Chuan, Yun Qing still could not accept it after confirming that it was Huo Chuan.
