Huo Chenhuan was at a loss because of his wife’s sudden outburst of emotions. He patted Su Yayan’s shoulder with heartache, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “You were the one who asked first, but why are you crying more than I did? If anyone saw this, they would think that I’m bullying you.”

“You’re the one who’s bullying me!” Su Yayan wiped her tears on Huo Chenhuan’s shirt and said miserably, “How can you be so stupid? He asked you to do this, and you did this? How will people look at you if this gets out?”

It could be seen from the weird reaction of Huo Qihan’s family that even those who knew the inside story might not be able to understand Huo Chenhuan’s actions, let alone those who only cared about the outcome and never cared about the inside story, they were outsiders who used their imagination to take things out of context.

Perhaps it was because Zheng Qianyang was pressuring him back then, or perhaps Huo Qihan was worried that if this news got out, the fall in the Huo Corporation’s stock price would harm his interests.

If word of this got out, it was highly likely that Huo Qihan would use it as a sharp weapon to take down Huo Chenhuan and make sure that he would never be able to turn things around.

However, Zheng Qianyang’s power back then was not something that Huo Qihan could compete with. If Huo Qihan dared to expose this matter and make Huo Chenhuan lose everything, Zheng Qianyang could make him spit out as much as he ate, and he would also lose everything.

Thinking of this, Su Yayan felt both lucky and sad. The rumors outside were hurtful, but no matter how hurtful they were, they were not as hurtful as Huo Chenhuan’s decision to help his father.

That was his most beloved father. He had once regarded his father as a towering mountain and his pillar of strength, but in the end, he died in his hands and watched him slowly die.

If it was her, she would probably have psychological trauma.

“It’s all in the past.” He was clearly the one who had been hurt the most in this matter, but now he had to comfort the person who was sad for him.

Su Yayan’s tears had almost stopped, but when he said this, they flowed again.

Huo Chenhuan saw this and felt distressed and helpless. He said in a hoarse voice, “Yanyan, actually… I used to be jealous of you.”

“Jealous of me?”

Huo Chenhuan did not say anything. He looked down at Su Yayan for a while.

Huo Chenhuan did not lie. He was indeed jealous of Su Yayan. They were the same family of four, but the Su family’s situation was much better than the Huo family’s.

Su Yayan was the darling of everyone in the family. Her parents loved her, and her brother doted on her. They never hurt each other because of the competition for affection.

During the most painful period of time, Huo Chenhuan was filled with violence. He even wanted to destroy her because of this jealousy.

How could she be so happy when she was in so much pain, living in a dark hell every day, suffering from both physical and mental torture, and could not be saved no matter how hard she struggled?

He wanted to pull her down to be with him, but his last bit of rationality told him that if he really did that, his world would really sink into darkness, and his life would be bleak.

Therefore, the reason why he did not dare to get close to Su Yayan was partly because of his inferiority complex, but also because he was worried that he would not be able to control himself and hurt her unconsciously.

Su Yayan did not wait for Huo Chenhuan’s reply, but she could roughly guess his thoughts, she sniffed and said, “It’s okay, you don’t have to be jealous now. I’m yours, and everything I have is yours. My home is your home, and my family is also your family.”
