Chapter 537: Flesh Bone
Translator: 549690339
Huo Jifeng was completely controlled by his brother, so he didn’t dare to tease Huo Jiling anymore. He just obediently became a tool and watched his brother take care of his bones like a lackey.
After Li Muyao got into the car, she glared at Huo Jiling. She didn’t want to ask Huo Jiling what was wrong with him today. It felt like he had taken the wrong medicine.
He kept playing with her hand, and then kept repeating what he should pay attention to when discussing the contract with Huo Jifeng. But Huo Jiling had already told Li Muyao about this, so why did he have to say it again?
Li Muyao immediately sent a text message to Huo Jiling. Huo Jiling sat up straight when he saw the text message. He no longer clung to Li Muyao like before. Instead, he sat up straight and began to communicate with Li Muyao through text messages.
“Ling, what’s wrong with you?” Don’t you usually pay attention to your image?
Big Brother is sitting right in front. How can you be like this?”
“I did it on purpose!” Mooncake, you don’t know. Just now, when you went upstairs to get your bag, big brother also laughed at me. He said that he didn’t know how to take care of his girlfriend. He even asked her to help him carry his bag. He said that he was completely unqualified to be a boyfriend.
Mooncake, as you know, this is my first time being someone’s boyfriend. There are indeed many things that I can’t think of and can’t do. So, I thought that when I’m with you in the future, I’ll be more attentive to you. However, I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing. Don’t you like mooncakes?”
Li Muyao raised her head and saw Huo Jiling’s expression, which seemed like he wanted to ask her for permission immediately. She sighed and replied, ‘”‘1 don’t dislike it, but I don’t like it very much either. I think Ling, you should just be yourself. You don’t have to treat me like Big Brother said.
I’m an adult, not an insensible little girl. Besides, I don’t like boyfriends who are too clingy. You used to get along very well with me. Also, I don’t like to be too intimate in front of outsiders.
Ah Ling, there’s a saying that goes, showing off love will kill you quickly! I’m here to marry you. You want to show off our relationship everywhere. Moreover, I think that feelings are between the two of us. What outsiders think has nothing to do with us.
I just feel that it was good for us to get along in the past. I was at ease, and you were at ease too. Besides, your big brother doesn’t know about our situation, but how can you not know about it yourself? Let’s take it slow, okay?”
Indeed, this was Li Muyao’s first time in a serious relationship!
Li Muyao didn’t know how to get along with her boyfriend, but when Huo Jiling showed off to Huo Jifeng on purpose, Li Muyao felt awkward.
Therefore, Li Muyao talked more in the text message and told Huo Jiling how she felt.
The long message was split into two.
After sending the message, she looked at Huo Jiling with relief.
Huo Jiling quickly replied, “Yes, Mooncake. You’re always right.” Then should we still get along like before? Can we hold hands in the car?”
It was true that Huo Jiling wasn’t used to being intimate with Li Muyao outside.
Sometimes, if Li Muyao didn’t take the initiative to hold Huo Jiling’s hand, Huo Jiling wouldn’t dare to hold her hand. Just like Li Muyao said, she wasn’t used to showing off her affection outside.
Therefore, Huo Jiling was also very careful. However, when his brother deliberately said that today, Huo Jiling felt that he didn’t have to show off his love, but Huo Jiling still wanted to announce that he and Li Muyao were a couple at any time.
“Yes, but you can’t do anything more excessive. If there must be intimate behavior, then it has to be me, okay? Also, don’t really treat me like a little girlfriend. Otherwise, I’ll think that you’re raising a daughter.
And I’ll feel like my dad… No, you seem to be imitating my father. That would feel very strange and very… Anyway, do you understand?”
Li Muyao didn’t want Huo Jiling to be provoked by his big brother so often. It was better to be normal like he was in Yang City.
“Understood. Mooncake, you’re so nice. You don’t have to be too nervous when you go to our family’s company later. Anyway, the conditions have already been negotiated well. If you let Wu Yuanyuan from your company lead the negotiation, it’s even more unrelated to you.
Mooncake, do you want to come with me to visit the Huo Corporation? Big brother even left me an office. Do you want to go and take a look?”
Huo Jiling wanted to show Li Muyao around. Although Huo Jiling hadn’t worked at the Huo Corporation for a day, all the employees knew that he was the second young master of the Huo Family and that he had an office in the company.
It was just that he had never worked a day before.
well, HUO Jlllng just wanted to snow Ll muyao around tne HUO corporation ancl let everyone know that he had a girlfriend.
“No, I want to see how Wu Yuanyuan talks about her work and whether she has made much progress. Sister Ying even asked me to keep an eye on her before giving Wu Yuanyuan the marks for the assessment. If you’re bored or want to go for a walk, you can go by yourself.”
After Li Muyao replied to this message, she stopped Huo Jiling from replying to her. Instead, she whispered to Huo Jiling,”Ling, if you’re really bored, why don’t you go to your own company?
Anyway, I have Big Brother here, and the general manager is personally here.
There will definitely be no problem.”
Li Muyao thought Huo Ling was bored.
“No need, I’ll accompany you. I won’t disturb you guys at work.”Huo Jiling immediately said that he was fine and then changed the topic.”Mooncake, after signing the contract, I’ll take you to see the courtyard house in Jin City.
Didn’t you say that you liked the house in Moment Sea? Ah Cheng and Ah Zhi have a few small courtyard houses over there. They said that they want to give you one as a gift. Let’s go take a look first and tell them to transfer the ownership to you!”
“What? Give me a house? Wouldn’t that be bad? Besides, our relationship isn’t that close. I don’t dare to take the courtyard house in Moment Sea. Even if it���s for your sake, I’m too embarrassed to accept it!”
Even though it was 2005, the Siheyuan in Jin City had always been extremely expensive.
Fu Yunzhi and Lu Sicheng were both civil servants. Even if Huo Jiling said that they had a few of these small courtyard houses, they were still their property before they started working. Li Muyao really didn’t dare to accept them as they were too expensive.
A small courtyard house would cost at least ten million yuan.. A bigger courtyard house would cost at least a hundred million yuan!
