“Uncle, they… You know, times have changed, right? They are not related by blood anyway. You should just ignore the meaningless traditional ideas. Please don’t tell anyone! Look, Brother Ting is horrible to me but even I keep this a secret. Besides, you two may be uncle and nephew but you are actually more like brothers! Come, let’s give them a toast!”
Su Cheng emptied the glass in his hand. After he finished, he realized that Huo Chen was not paying attention to him.
Su Cheng sweared inside that he did not know Huo Yunting would bring Lu Zhaoyang here, nor did he know that Huo Chen would be here too.
It was all a coincidence! Truly!
Su Cheng studied them all furtively and realized that things had gone really wrong.
Why did Yang Yang look so pale?
Huo Yunting seemed to be smiling for some very specific reason…
“Out, all of you!” Su Cheng waved at the ladies, but pointed at the one next to him. “You, stay.”
They were all gone in a blink. The last one sat down beside Huo Chen.
The atmosphere in the private room turned awkward. They could only hear the sound of someone pouring liquor.
“Let’s sit down and catch up, it’s been a while since we last met.” Huo Yunting smiled and sat down with an arm over Lu Zhaoyang’s shoulder.
How were they supposed to talk in this situation?
Lu Zhaoyang was certain that Huo Yunting had brought her here because he knew that Huo Chen would be here too.
She was forced to sit down. All eyes were on her.
She should have left just now. Huo Yunting would never bring her here for no reason. She should have known that from the very beginning.
Was he trying to show her that even Chen would come to this kind of establishment?
That would be childish and pointless. She and Chen could never be together again in any case!
Huo Yunting spoke up beside her. “This strawberry it quite sweet. Try it.”
She watched him hold a strawberry close to her and opened her mouth slowly.
Was it sweet?
She found it bitter.
Huo Yunting smiled at her reaction. “Have another one.”
She opened her mouth again reluctantly. When was Huo Yunting going to end this nonsense?!
Huo Chen nursed his drink as he threw occasional glances at the pair.
He could not outright reject the lady beside him too.
He was only here temporarily. It was soon time for him to go to work.
Su Cheng, caught in the middle of situation, could not figure out what the problem was.
Why were these two men so cold toward each other? He remembered that Brother Ting and Huo Chen were quite close!
“Huo Chen, I see that life is treating you well since you’re allowed to visit this place even while on duty. The military must be treating their officers quite well.”
Abruptly, Huo Yunting broke the silence in the room.
“You all enjoy yourselves. I have business to attend to.” Huo Chen stood up and said to the lady beside him, “Let’s go.”
“Take care, uncle… Have fun!” Su Cheng waved at him.
This military officer is truly one of a kind! Look at the way he carries himself and his charisma!
Lu Zhaoyang looked at the two of them. The lady left with Chen with an arm around his.
The room quieted down. Huo Yunting had just picked up his glass again when Lu Zhaoyang said, “I want to leave.”
“The fun has barely begun, and you want to leave?” He replied as he put his glass back down.
Fine. I should probably spare her the more extreme sights tonight.
Lu Zhaoyang stood up and picked up her bag. “You can stay here and have fun yourself. I’m turning in for the night.”
Huo Yunting did not reply but followed behind her obediently.
