“Weren’t you out all day to get lucky? Why are you here now?!” She did not notice the barest touch of jealousy in her voice.
“I’m innocent. I am actually quite picky, but I’m not picky when it comes to you.”
Lu Zhaoyang hated the disparity in their strengths. Had she known that she would be trapped under Huo Yunting’s weight, she would have learned Taekwondo earlier on!
That night, she slept soundly in his arms. The next morning, the other side of her bed felt empty.
She had gotten used to this sneaky way of living with him.
They left for the city in the afternoon.
In their private plane, Huo Yunting commented without looking away from his magazine, “It’s time for you to come back.”
“No.” She refused to return to both Thunderbolt Corp and his mansion.
Huo Yunting put down the magazine and looked at her. “Lu Zhaoyang, now that you know the truth, there is no reason to continue doing this other than to purposely make things difficult.”
“I know that I have wrongly accused you, but I have already moved out. Let’s talk about this later, I’m really tired.” She enjoyed the freedom of her life outside.
“Hey, be reasonable. Not only are you my wife, but you are also indebted to me.”
She finally turned to give him a look of impatience. “I have already compensated you for this incident, so don’t give me that look!”
Weren’t the past two nights enough?
Huo Yunting paused for a moment, and then smiled dismissively. “Okay, I understand that you have worked hard recently. We still have the rest of our lives to look forward to. I’ll see how long you intend to hide from me.”
Lu Zhaoyang was speechless.
Conversation with a rascal was pointless. The way she saw it, she would relish her freedom one day at a time. F*ck the future!
Silence descended upon them until the plane finally landed.
Huo Yunting stood by the car and said, “Come, let me send you home.”
“No thank you, I’ve just ordered a car.” Lu Zhaoyang waved goodbye and continued her way to the exit.
Huo Yunting watched her took her graceful leave and kicked the car tyre. “Huo Li, buy that e-hailing company for me!”
“Brother Ting, even if you buy all the e-hailing companies out there, there are still the rental car companies, private cars for hire, illegal taxis…” Huo Li reminded him carelessly from the driver seat.
“…” Huo Yunting nodded in agreement and entered the car.
He may be rich, but he could not control the entire ride-hailing industry. The city would be in chaos if he did.
…
Half an hour later, Lu Zhaoyang stopped at a large shopping mall near her place.
She pushed the trolley cart and slowly made her through the shopping crowd. Suddenly, a slender figure caught her attention.
It was a bespectacled man wearing a T-shirt and knee-length pants. He was trailing a middle-aged woman and copying every item that the older lady was buying.
Was he wearing some anti-seasonal wear?
He even had slippers on him!
This pairing in this weather… Well done, my man!
Lu Zhaoyang smiled and continued with her shopping.
When she was waiting in the line at the cashier, the young man was in front of her, separated by two other shoppers.
The people around him were gossiping about his good looks. He had pronounced features and fair skin, the latter probably due to prolonged time spent indoors.
“Good day, sir. Do you have a member card?” The cashier asked him.
“No.”
“That will be 385.6 yuan.”
The man reached into his pockets and handed a rarely seen black card to the cashier.
