She sent off a reply saying “Understood”.
Why could they not simply talk on the phone…
On the way back home, Lu Zhaoyang suddenly remembered something. She turned to her bodyguard and asked, “Yan Se, how is your boss’s arm?”
“Why don’t you call him and ask yourself?” Yan Se was on duty and certainly did not know how her boss was doing.
“Maybe he doesn’t feel like answering my call.”
“That’s impossible!” Yan Se said firmly. “Call him. Maybe he will even come visit you tonight.”
“…”
That was certainly possible. Lu Zhaoyang decided not to call him after all.
If he tried anything with her, his arm would be affected.
Lu Zhaoyang did not call Huo Yunting, but instead received a surprise call from her mother.
Xue Yuming was staring into space in her bedroom. Ever since Huo Yunting’s phone call, she felt worried about her daughter.
Lu Zhaoyang was her only child, after all. She feared that Huo Yunting would exact revenge on her daughter.
“Are you feeling better these days, mum?”
“I am. How about you? How are you with your brother? Did he do anything to you?” Xue Yuming asked nervously.
Lu Zhaoyang’s chest tightened. Could she have heard of the incident?
“I… I’m not working with him anymore and seldom see him nowadays. What are you trying to say, mum?”
Didn’t Huo Yunting mention anything to her?
Xue Yuming was not sure if her daughter was lying. After all, she had kept her escape with Huo Chen a secret.
“Yang Yang, be careful in the city. Let me know first thing if you are in any kind of trouble!”
She could not have Yang Yang travel back to the capital. It would be more convenient for her daughter to be close to Huo Yunting in case she needed help dealing with the man.
“I will. You take care too. I’m driving now. Talk later, okay?”
She ended the call after her mother said goodbye.
Yan Se grinned widely. “You know, our dear boss is very clear cut in his feelings for people. You are you. Your mum is your mum. He will never think differently of you because of your mum. I have worked for him for many years now. He can be outright rude and occasionally resort to despicable methods, but other than that he is perfect!”
Lu Zhaoyang continued driving without expression, unwilling to continue the conversation.
Surely Yan Se must know that Huo Yunting forced her to marry him because of her mother.
How could there be love between them when she had a debt to repay him?
Soon, they reached her apartment.
As they walked to her unit, Yan Se put an arm around her and asked, “Which floor does your little brother stay?”
“Are you going to visit him?”
She felt that they would end up in a fight sooner or later.
Lu Bai was severely disadvantaged.
“I’m going to seduce him while you make dinner.” Yan Se waggled her eyebrows. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to him!”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t trust you on that.”
“That’s because you don’t understand my pure, innocent heart.” Yan Se let her go and sighed. “If you won’t tell me, I will have to wait for him outside every morning.”
“I can’t stop you from that. In any case, please don’t give him trouble.”
They chatted until they reached Lu Zhaoyang’s apartment. She entered her place but Yan Se stayed by the stairs. “Sis, let me know when dinner’s ready.”
“Where are you going?”
“I think I ate something bad, now I need to use the toilet!”
Yan Se rushed upstairs with one hand on her stomach, as though in pain. When she eventually heard Lu Zhaoyang close the door, she jogged downstairs to the first floor.
