That was especially true when Xuxu looked very happy with it.
Right before they saw Xuxu off, the teacher grabbed his little hand, escorting him to the class.
“Bye, Yang Yang! Bye, Uncle Yunting!” Said Xuxu, waving his hand, not forgetting to give an air-kiss.
Both of them waved back, like parents to their very own child.
“Let’s go, *my wife*,” said Huo Yunting as he grabbed her by her waist.
“Don’t you forget there’s a very important meeting today,” reminded Zhaoyang. They were going to meet Bai at Thunderbolt Corp.
“Hmm, nah. However, I did forget to tell you that Lu Bai isn’t coming today. He left—well, for the moment.”
“He what? Where did he go?”
“I dunno. He’s an adult. One with a rather complicated background too. Perhaps he found here too dangerous for him to stay. Don’t worry. If he could survive the incident in the past, he could survive anything.”
“Especially when Lu Bai isn’t an ordinary folk,” stated Yunting, his eyes fixed on the road as he drove.
“You know something about Lu Bai?”
“Not really much but I at least know why everybody wants him.” He passed a glance at her, “Hmm—I might consider telling you, if you give a smooch here,” he said while pursing his lips.
“You are driving now. Can you be more cautious? I don’t want to end up like them.” Zhaoyang was referring to Yan Se and Lu Bai who both got into the hospital as they drove carelessly.
The car then stopped by the other gate in the area, the one leading to the underground carpark. It was rare for him to park his ride there.
And Lu Zhaoyang’s curious thoughts were answered after that.
Lu Zhaoyang, with her fingers rigidly unfastening her seatbelt, backed away as the beast pressed his face towards hers, “What are you going to do?”
“To quench your thirst about Lu Bai? If you kiss me, I’ll tell you about him.”
“Right, whatever you know, probably Huo Li knows too. I’ll ask him instead.” Lu Zhaoyang let the seatbelt slide off as her hand gripped the door handle, “Open the door. Huo Yunting.”
“Kiss me.”
“Let me go!”
“Kiss me.”
“Let me go!”
“Kiss me!”
“Le- *smooch*” And she was given a kiss.
She pushed his giant head away, unlocked the door herself and ran away, leaving the man smiling as he reminisced the texture of her lips.
It’s just a quick smooch. It’s not so bad—however.
Inside the elevator, the man approached her again. She remained still as her eyes looked upon the security camera above them. Her index finger pointed at it a few times.”It’s just for decorative purposes,” he said as his hands rubbed upon her waist greedily. He had asked his man to uninstall those irritating cameras before.
Lu Zhaoyang, having her body straightened, immediately seized his hands.
“You haven’t told me why they aimed for Bai. Is it not merely because of the fact that he was a member of a terrorist organization?”
“He’s the son of the former leader.”
“To get rid of the group—for good?” It sounded plausible as a way to completely unroot the threat.
Still! Even if Lu Bai ever wanted to revive his family business, he would have done it. I mean, with the time and money he has, he would have launched quite a sizable organization by now.
She shook her head with such thoughts, “I don’t think Bai is that kind of person. Can’t the world spare him a chance to turn over a new leaf?”
The elevator beeped.
“It won’t help the more you know, Zhaoyang,” said Huo Yunting, withdrawing his hands as he walked out of the elevator.

Meanwhile, at the Huo family’s residence in the capital, Wen He was with Huo Chen. Her hands shook holding the identification card as she looked upon Huo Chen, “Your mother says we are going to collect our marriage certificate. Jesus, what an old fox!” She was impressed. Never once she imagined that her little play would turn out to be something official. “I have underestimated the elderlies.”
“Is it true that you can’t return to the military without her permission?” She had heard about the old lady before. Apparently the old lady was a bigshot, one that was hard to please too.
“The generals were all my father’s henchmen in the past. So, a few words from my mother could in fact make a change.”
“Is that real?” Asked Huo Chen, staring at her IDs.
