Chapter 9: Dangerous Affairs IX (1/2)

Xue Yuming’s expression became unbearably awkward. Her smile vanished without a trace.

Lu Zhaoyang bit on her lips. The pain in her heart was excruciating.

She finally realized why Huo Yunting wanted to visit the Huo Family. He was not one to willingly accept an arranged marriage.

He was not the main purpose of this visit — it was her mother!

However, even if she realized this now, what could she have done about it?

She had offered her body to him, but still he would not let her off and her mother. Since they were the ones who were at fault in the first place, she could only accept her fate and bear with it…

Huo Zhenning was visibly furious at his son’s impudence and was about to call him out when Xue Mingyu forced herself to laugh it off. “It’s nothing, husband, let us have lunch, now, hmm? It is rare to have everyone here together, so let’s brush off all unhappy thoughts.”

The five of them took their seats at the dining table and quietly savored their meals. Mo Shan picked up a slice of fish with her chopsticks and placed it on Huo Yunting’s plate, with unobscured affection in her eyes.

“I remember you like fish, Brother Yunting. Have some.”

Huo Yunting quickly pushed the white meat aside. “People change. Now, my secretary knows my taste best. Isn’t that right, sister?”

“…”

Lu Zhaoyang gritted her teeth. If only she could bite off this horrible man’s head.

Before she could respond, out of the blue, an idea came to her. Instantly, her furious expression was replaced with a wide smile.

She said to Mo Shan, “Sister-in-law, my brother does not like spicy food and strong flavors. How about this, I’ll write down my brother’s preferences for you when I have spare time. Let me know if you have any more questions, and I’ll be most delighted to help you out.”
