“I have never had any friends. I only treat him as a younger brother, a friend. What toyboy? Don’t listen to Huo Li’s baloney!”
How she wished she could now slap Huo Li in the face for spewing nonsense. “What about the thing tonight?” Huo Yunting followed her back in front of the door. He was still jealous.
Lu Zhaoyang shot him a glance and pushed the door open. She even got him a pair of slippers. “My Lord, please.”
Huo Yunting changed into the slippers as if he only did it just for her sake.
“Don’t be angry anymore. Wash your hands, and enjoy your dinner.”
The two sat at the table. Lu Zhaoyang could not help but look up.
Huo Li had not left yet when they left. If…
“Worry about your toyboy? Should we invite him to have dinner with us?” Huo Yunting’s eyebrows arched slyly. “We cannot finish the food anyway.”
“Why do you have to be so cynical?”
Before she could make sense of the fact that Lu Bai changed from a nerd to a successor to a terrorist organization, Huo Yunting already began to mock her.
“Since you know that I am cynical, you should stay away from him from now on while you are still not so deep into him. It is only a matter of time before Huo Chen arrests him. You might have stopped me tonight, but you cannot stop Huo Chen.”
Huo Yunting was rarely that serious. But tonight, he was.
He would not have let Lu Bai get away so easily had Lu Zhaoyang not been so concerned about Lu Bai, and she looked so innocent.
But Huo Chen was different; he was acting under orders.
If Huo Chen let Lu Bai off and the military found out, he would be guilty of violating military order. He could be put to death.
Lu Zhaoyang clenched the chopsticks in her hand. She, of course, knew what was at stake, and that was why she hurried Lu Bai to leave.
“Is there really no other way? Maybe Lu Bai has not done anything. After all, it was not his choice to be born in that place.”
“Lu Zhaoyang, are you really good-hearted or simply naive?” Huo Yunting slammed his chopsticks on the table. “He has not done anything now. When he does, it would be too late. This is called prevention.”
“But…”
“Stop talking about him. I am just a normal citizen, and I cannot let him off on behalf of the state. Let’s eat!”
Lu Zhaoyang sighed. She lowered and head and stuffed the rice in her mouth. Huo Yunting looked at her sideways and asked casually, “Are you going to bid farewell to him after this?”
“No.”
“Then why are you eating so fast?” He did not fight with her for food, after all.
“Just eat! Who finishes the last gets to wash the dishes!” Lu Zhaoyang said.
She did not want to talk now. She knew that she could not blame Huo Yunting for that, but she could only vent her frustration at him. Huo Yunting looked down at his injured arm, thinking that she was really heartless.
Lu Zhaoyang finished her meal quickly and shot the man who dined like an English gentleman a look.
“Are you staying here tonight?”
Huo Yunting chewed gently and casually looked up at her. “So, you are horny now?”
“Forget it!”
What on earth was the man’s brain made of that he could still think of sex at this moment?
She went out after changing her shoes. She was going to help Lu Bai pack his belongings before he went.
Huo Yunting knew what she was going to do. Instead of stopping her, he continued with his meal.
Lu Zhaoyang had quickly returned and slammed the door.
“Where is Lu Bai? Huo Li is not there too. Did you order Huo Li to take him away?” Looking at Huo Yunting’s careless attitude, her voice went a pitch higher. “I am asking you!”
