Huo Yunting chuckled as he got close to her gradually, “Aw, poor kitten burned her tongue. Come, let your tongue out, I’ll give you a nice comfy blow.”
Lu turned away and spat her tongue, fanning it with her hand.
I am not going to let you have the chance, especially when you still wanted to tease me while I’m obviously injured!
Huo Yunting retreated back to his table and dined gracefully like the gentleman he was.
——
The next day, she was finally freed from Huo’s imprisonment and could return to her office to work. One could never know how glad she was when she found out her swollen tongue had shrunken as she brushed her teeth. She could finally say something without shouting with her mouth wide open.
Nevertheless, she would still be that obedient, muted little secretary in front of the president. This was simply because her days would be far easier being a silent beauty.
…(Meanwhile, at the President’s Office)…
Huo Li slammed the door open and walked in as if he was leading a bunch of grunts. He did not knock before coming in and he decided to greet his great Brother Huo by just marveling at him.
A man who was focusing on his own business – how charming… BUT!
What is that lollipop doing in his mouth?
Dang it, when did my Brother Huo become a kiddish character? This is not how the script was planned! Cut! Cut! Cut!
Despite having that in mind, he initiated the conversation with his daily buttering-up, “Oh my lord, you are so handsome that the entire world envies you! Could you spare us these nibs a few seconds by being not so handsome that women would actually see us?”
Huo Yunting lifted his head away from the monitor, with a dead glance, “If you have something to say, spit it.”
“Well, it’s regarding the case of your wife being kidnapped, I have investigated everything. So… Mo Shan… do we touch her now?”
Huo Li slid the side of his palm through his throat. Whether if Mo Shan was actually associated with the Mo family, he would not give a damn.
I mean that hoe actually touched my great Brother Huo’s wife! No way I’m sparing her, I’m gonna-
“No, we spare her for now. The Mo family isn’t something you can touch as you want. Plus, she might be useful if we kept her,” he withdrew his sight from the screen and peered at Huo Li, the lollipop was rolling in his mouth interestingly, “What about the few people?”
“Do not worry,” replied Huo Li proudly, “I am the master at faking deaths. I have made them look like a victim of a tragic accident. But, Brother Huo, I don’t understand, why keep Mo Shan? Haven’t you been annoyed by her enough?”
Huo Li was right since Huo Yunting’s father intended to pair them up in a courtship.
The existence of this woman was none other than a pawn to separate Huo Yunting from his woman.
The phone rang before Huo Yunting could state a word, as he stayed still and let Huo Li pick the call.
“President, Ms. Mo has arrived,” said Secretary Lu gently.
Huo Li hung up straight away, with his pair of brows raised up high, intrigued, “Speak of the devil…”
“Oh, she finally could not hold still.” He tossed the candy into the bin, “Let her in.”
“Yes, sir.” Huo Li turned and headed to the door, but Mo Shan was already at the office when he opened the door.
She was going to grab the doorknob, but she rapidly kept her arms upon seeing Huo Li, with her angelic smile standard as stated on her script.
I must not expose myself!
“Oh, if it isn’t Ms. Mo, long time no see, you have gotten prettier,” a quick compliment from Huo Li as he brushed through Mo Shan and walked away.
Mo Shan coughed awkwardly upon the cheap compliment. She then looked at Huo Yunting who was smiling at him.
“Oh, Yunting!” She delivered her most friendly smile and gracefully waltzed to his desk, “Please, Brother Yunting. The engagement was a plan by my father and Uncle Huo, I know nothing about it. I was a victim too. Are you still mad? Don’t be mad…”
“Mad? Why should I be mad?” Huo Yunting raised his brows, “I was never mad about anything as long as it has to do with a beauty like you.”
That was a perfectly scored reply but it did not calm Mo Shan a bit.
Wait… doesn’t he know that Lu Zhaoyang was abducted?
Was this a joke?
But well, I can’t confirm it. I can no longer contact the few men handling the case, Yu Man’er said she has no update either…
There is only one thing to do!
“So… Brother Huo…”
