“You should ask Ms Mo to be your plus-one. She’s your fiancée now, you should bring her out to events more often.”
Of course she did not want to go, so she replied while also trying to gauge his opinion on the matter.
Huo Yunting smiled lazily and asked, “Did you send me that link today because you’re jealous?”
“I just really want to dye my hair green, so I don’t really mind.”
Lu Zhaoyang cursed inside. Her one wish was for Huo Yunting to focus his attention on someone else!
“Then you better reconsider that. If we are not even related like that anymore, then Xue Yuming… Tsk tsk…”
Lu Zhaoyang squeezed the papers in her arms reflexively as she looked at the thin smile on his face. Her nails dug deep into her palms!
He always knew which buttons to push.
“Alright, so I was jealous. My own husband is rumored to be together with another woman, surely I can’t be happy with that?”
In fact, she did not exactly feel happy when she saw the news.
“Are you going tonight?”
“No!”
She did not feel like it, and did not even know Mu Xian that well. Besides, she had only seen his girlfriend that one time.
“That’s okay, as long as I know you’re jealous.”
Huo Yunting stood up slowly and picked up his suit. He approached her and looked down at her face. “I’ll be back late tonight.”
“Alright.” You can choose to not come back at all.
After work that day, Lu Zhaoyang did not even think about whether Huo Yunting took Mo Shan with him to the event. All she could feel was the joy that came with him not being at home.
The next day at work, something funny happened.
In the latest newspapers she got from Lin Yazhi, the cover page was still filled with a few large and bold words.
Get Out Of My Face!
It was not even signed, but Lu Zhaoyang knew that this was Huo Yunting’s doing.
“This must be in response to yesterday’s news, right? I say, this Young Master Huo is such a character, almost like our president!”
Xiao Yu mused like a fangirl at her desk.
Lu Zhaoyang only smiled in response. They were the same person, of course they behaved similarly.
…
On the other hand, at the Wonderfall Gardens in the city, Mo Shan was reading the news on the sofa. Suddenly, she crumpled the papers and threw it against the wall.
She bought the cover page space yesterday to spread the news, thinking that the Huo family and people in general would force Huo Yunting to accept the engagement, or at the very least convince everyone in the world that she was the rightful wife-to-be of the Huo family’s heir.
Today, however, Huo Yunting had shot back openly at her!
Suddenly, her phone rang. Mo Shan answered it reluctantly.
“Dad…”
“What’s with the news?” Mo Yuan asked without beating around the bush. He sounded concerned and unhappy.
He thought the announcement yesterday was the result of the two young ones agreeing to make things public, but the news today proved otherwise.
It did not take him long to figure out what was going on between the two of them.
“I don’t know, I had nothing to do with it.”
Mo Shan feinted ignorance, but her eyes were still fixed angrily on the papers on the floor.
“Shan, if Huo Yunting is bullying you, you must let me know. You are my most precious daughter, and I will not allow anyone humiliate you!”
Mo Yuan had only one daughter, whom he had brought up and groomed personally. No one was allowed to bully his daughter!
“Daddy, let me deal with this myself, okay? I made a mistake about the public announcement of our engagement last time. I knew that Brother Yunting is not in good terms with Uncle Huo, but still I asked him to attend the party. It was only to be expected that he felt averse to our marriage back then. I don’t blame him.”
