Xue Yuming jumped out of her skin when the door suddenly swung open. Huo Yunting was holding a cigarette in his hand, and his face looked fearsome but enchanting.
Huo Yunting had a murderous look in his eyes when he said, “There is nothing to say between us. If it is not because of Lu Zhaoyang, I would have killed you long ago. Don’t come anywhere near my room again and dirty the place!”
‘Because of Lu Zhaoyang’ was the keyword; Xue Yuming saw hope in it. “Yunting, we are still family, I think there is something that you need to know. May I come in and talk about it?” She tested his reaction.
“You overthink.” Huo Yunting did not even want to see her standing in front of his room.
His reaction was not unexpected. Xue Yuming appeared calm and confident. “What if it is about Yang Yang?”
Lu Zhaoyang? His heart missed a beat. After a long silence, Huo Yunting turned and walked back in. The cigarette in his hand almost died down with ashes dropping to the floor.
Xue Yuming got her access, and her confidence built up. Now, she was more convinced that Lu Zhaoyang occupied a vital position in his heart.
Huo Yunting flung himself onto the couch and discarded the cigarette butt into the ashtray. “Stay where you are and say what you have to say.”
Xue Yuming stopped beside the couch and prepared herself mentally. “Yunting, I don’t know what happened between you two in the city, but you deserve to know something: Huo Xu is your son!”
Huo Yunting’s heart missed a beat. “If you would like to make a joke, you have gotten the wrong audience. Get out!” He fished out another cigarette.

But when I rebuked her, and in desperation, she told me about the real identity of the child! She even said that nothing had ever happened between Huo Chen and her despite living together in Washington. That means you are her only man!” Lu Zhaoyang did not say the last part; Xue Yuming made that up to make Lu Zhaoyang look good in the eyes of Huo Yunting so that when they finally mended their relationship, she would have a good life.
Was Huo Xu really his son? Lu Zhaoyang had admitted to it?
“How dare you scolded her!” Huo Yunting shifted his focus suddenly. No one could know what was in his mind. Even he was loath to get angry with Lu Zhaoyang; who was Xue Yuming to scold her?
“I was too angry at that time. After all, Huo Chen was her uncle. But you are different; I think you and Lu Zhaoyang match each other, not to mention that she has given birth to your child!” Xue Yuming threaded carefully as she tried to badger him.
“Stop putting up that face.” Huo Yunting was disgusted at her fake smile.
Xue Yuming’s plastic smile froze. “Trust me. I will not make a joke out of this thing. If you look carefully, you will notice that the child looks like you. Yang Yang will not lie to me. Please think about it!”
Before Xue Yuming left, she added. “A paternity test will prove what I say is true.”
When the door was finally closed, Huo Yunting held a black lighter in his hand. The coolness of the metal jolted him ou
