I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 40

Huo Qing listened quietly.

Every time the other party spoke, he felt his heart tighten.

So it turned out that when he didn’t know it, this was how she led a life.

Being bullied by beggars, stealing food from wild dogs…

She had always been proud. How could she let herself be reduced to such a miserable state?

Huo Qing’s gaze swept over her, only to see that the woman was still curled up, as if she knew that this group of people wanted to make a deal with her, but she couldn’t resist.

He was suddenly overcome with grief.

A thought became particularly intense.

He was taking her home.

Since she did not remember him, she would also not remember Bai Shan, nor would she remember that dead child.

Then… For them, everything could start again.

Starting over again, he would treat her well.

Even if what Li Mengqing said was true, that she had stolen the pier contract and committed suicide out of guilt, he could still forgive her and protect her.

Huo Qing clenched his fist tightly and used all his strength to suppress the urge to kill.

“Let her come with me, I can give you money.”

Hearing the word “money”, the people outside burst into laughter.

“Pretending to be rich? How much money do you have? One hundred million?”

A hundred million was the largest number of fishermen they could think of for generations.

The man glanced at them with a baleful gaze, immediately silencing them.

“I’ll say it again, let her come with me.”

“I can give you two.”

“…”

Su Wan was wrapped in a warm suit coat and put into a small space.

It was a car.

As the car slowly drove away, she could only see darkness in front of her eyes. However, she could feel a very close presence around her.

That aura made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

It seemed to be someone she had once known.

It was just that they were familiar with each other, but they weren’t people one could rely on.

Su Wan couldn’t even remember the past. There was only a vague image, as if something was preventing her from remembering.

This man, who had just bought her out of the wedding at a high price, told her he didn’t have to marry that stupid man.

She was grateful to him, because she didn’t like that stupid man either.

But what did he buy her for? They all said she was ugly, blind and stupid, and no one would want her except that stupid man.

Su Wan thought about it for a while. Suddenly, she reached out her hand. The target was the thing hanging around her neck.

She drew back warily and held it with one hand, not letting him touch it.

“You … What do you want to do? ”

she asked weakly.

It was called a ring, they said, and she didn’t know how she had it, but subconsciously she thought it was something very important, so even if they beat her and asked her to give it to them, she wouldn’t give in.

And this man, even if he bought her, could not touch it.

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

Su Wan couldn’t see anything. She could only listen for a long time before she heard the man’s voice.

“You’ve always… Wear it on your body? ”

No wonder he hadn’t seen the ring on her finger since he asked her to return it.

She was afraid that he would ask again, so she secretly put it on.

Huo Qing suddenly felt it difficult to breathe.

She was careful to protect the only thing he gave her, but what had he done to her before?

Su Wan nodded her head in confusion, then shook it again. She was still very careful with him.

“I… “I don’t remember.”

She didn’t know where this ring had come from, nor did she know if it had ever existed.

Huo Qing’s finger froze in midair as it powerlessly curled up.

“Su Wan, don’t be afraid. I will bring you home.”
