Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the way back, Huo Junyu said curiously, “I see that Brother Yunting and his wife have taken a liking toward you. Honestly, I thought they would be highly against your relationship, but this is surprising.”
Even though Huo Run’s parents did not approve of them explicitly, their reaction was considered a silent acknowledgement of their relationship.
Mo Ning raised an eyebrow. “Are you disappointed?”
Huo Junyu loosened his tie and replied lightly, “If Brother Yunting is fine with it, I see no reason to doubt him.”
Mo Ning had passed the test of Huo Run’s parents. It was a good thing for both her and Huo Run.
Abruptly, Mo Ning asked, “Mr and Mrs Huo are a little different from what I imagined.”
“Hah!” Huo Junyu chuckled. “What were you expecting?”
Yan Sinian smiled and said, “A sinister pair of fiends?”
“…”
Mo Ning ignored him and recalled the image of Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang in her mind.
For a moment, her face lit up with a display of her true emotions.
“The wife is a dignified woman who is more than meets the eyes, while the husband is a slick and cunning president of a business empire.”
A smile blossomed on her face as she said, “They got a good thing.”
Huo Junyu said, “They are famous for being model husband and wife. So many ladies have tried to seduce Brother Yunting all these years, but none have ever succeeded. His wife once joked that she never had the chance to tell off any of the ladies because the Brother Yunting always shooed them away the moment they made any advances.”
Hah.
Mo Ning absorbed all the details.
“What else?”
“I’m surprised that you are interested in them, Mo Ning. You’re not falling for Brother Yunting’s wife, are you?”
Huo Junyu noticed the jolly conversation between Mo Ning and Lu Zhaoyang earlier and teased him about it.
Mo Ning rolled her eyes at him and looked oddly satisfied.
She had always been distant and unconcerned with matters unrelated to her.
However, the stories about Huo Yunting and his wife had captivated her.
Huo Junyu added soberly, “Be careful. Brother Yunting gets jealous very easily.”
“You think too much.”
Even if she was a man, she would not take any interest in a married woman.
No matter how enrapturing or outstanding the woman was, there was a line that Mo Ning could not cross.
Mo Ning added in playful ridicule, “Do you think I’m like Yan Sinian? He’s the one who has no dignity nor principles. His head is filled with lust!”
Yan Sinian tilted his head at her and said, “You’re in a good mood, huh?”
Good enough to tease him without provoking.
“…”
Mo Ning sobered and decided to shut her mouth.
Huo Junyu did not notice the change in her as he continued driving steadily. He said, “Of course he is. He just met his future in-laws. Wedding bells might just ring sooner than expected. Shouldn’t you call me uncle now, Mo Ning?”
1Mo Ning suddenly felt a little blue.
Back on campus, the three of them walked back to their room together.
Huo Junyu said, “By the way, my eighteenth birthday is arriving soon. Instead of a grand birthday party, I’m thinking of just paying a visit to the Golden City. Would you two be interested?”
Mo Ning agreed to the idea instantly. “Of course.”
