Lu Zhaoyang smiled wider and wider, but she kept her voice flat.
“Really? That’s great.”
“I think old Mrs Huo wants them to marry as soon as it’s convenient, which is probably soon. Yangyang, since you used to be close to Huo Chen, you must attend the wedding. Why don’t you resign from your post overseas and stay here? That way, I can visit you in the city whenever I miss you.”
Staying in the city was the only way her daughter could spend more time with Huo Yunting.
The one month period was almost over, but Xue Yuming was worried about how little they had progressed.
Lu Zhaoyang was unaware of her mother’s concerns. She only noticed that Xiang Yuan Corp had slowed down its attack on Thunderbolt Corp and the Huo family business ever since she arrived in the company.
It seemed that this trade war was going to be long term.
She must discuss with Xuxu and Huo Yunting about their next steps together.
Besides, if Chen was getting married soon, she would definitely leave after attending his wedding.
“Mum, I will let you know later once I decide what to do, okay? I’m going back to work now.”
She hung up and stared at her phone for a bit before looking up Huo Chen’s number and mulled over contacting him.
If she sent a message to congratulate him immediately, would he blame her mother for meddling in his business?
It was probably better if she waited a while longer.
Lu Zhaoyang spent a busy morning at work and visited Huo Yunting at one point to sign an important document.
He flipped through the papers leisurely before signing them one by one.
“I heard that our dear uncle has a girlfriend.”
Lu Zhaoyang nodded.
“My mother called earlier and mentioned it.”
“Do you feel hopeless?” Huo Yunting put down his pen and pushd the documents to her.
“Why would I feel hopeless? Things between us had ended long ago, so please don’t make me repeat myself. You should stop bringing this up in front of him again to avoid any misunderstanding.”
Lu Zhaoyang picked up the papers and turned to leave. “I’m leaving the office now to pick up Xuxu.”
“Let’s go together.” He stood up.
“No need,” Lu Zhaoyang replied coldly. “Please give us some private mother-and-son time.”
“…”
Huo Yunting sat back down in his leather seat. Did she mean that he was taking up too much of their time?
Lu Zhaoyang was the boldest woman he had ever met!
Nevertheless…
Why did Huo Chen get himself a girlfriend after having a child with her? Was the child a result of an accident?
That was the only reason he could think of.
In any case, he was very pleased with Lu Zhaoyang’s reaction to this news.
He wondered if he should imagining things about the relationship between her and Huo Chen.
…
When Lu Zhaoyang went to fetch her son, Lu Bai was just leaving the hospital.
His legs were unscathed from the accident, hence he left the hospital early. The doctor advised him to get plenty of rest at home.
His discharge was swift and surprisingly without any trouble from Yan Se.
He returned to Yan Se’s mansion late at night.
He visited Bischofia Manor earlier that night but found the place heavily guarded and surveilled. It was impossible to enter by himself.
Crunch.
The second he opened the door, his body froze in place.
There were sounds coming from inside the pitch black house.
“Yan Se?”
No one replied.
