Huo Yu stared at Qin Yuan for a moment before suddenly narrowing her eyes and revealing a smile.
“Little Yuan, looks like you know quite a lot! Come on! Tell me about it.”
Qin Yuan blinked. “Oh right, brother Huo earlier asked me to contact Wen Ze, I…”
Qin Yuan was just about to escape when Huo Yu put him a chokehold, keeping him in place. Then, a sinister voice sounded in his ear. “It seems like we haven’t met for too long, causing you to misunderstand my combat ability, hmm?”
“Don’t, sister Yu, I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”
…
Mo Yan didn’t understand why Luo Tao didn’t want to share a room with her. Sometimes, when Mo Yan thought that their relationship would go further, Luo Tao would restrain himself and walk to the living room sofa to sleep, just like tonight.
Around two o’clock in the morning, Mo Yan got up and went to the bathroom. When she passed by the sofa, she saw only a thin blanket that was tousled up. There was no sign of Luo Tao.
Mo Yan was a little surprised. When she heard the faint sounds of conversation on the balcony, she walked over.
“… ask the other party to increase the price. Take his…”
Just as she reached outside the door, Mo Yan heard Luo Tao’s voice.
The other side seemed to have said something. Luo Tao’s voice sounded again, “Well done. Speed up the process.”
Luo Tao, who was he speaking with?
Mo Yan suddenly realized that Luo Tao was different from the rumors. Her husband didn’t seem to be her husband…
After a moment of silence, Mo Yan lowered her eyes and left quietly.
The next day, Mo Yan was woken by the alarm clock. She hadn’t sleep well the night before because she had thoughts going round in her head, so she said good morning to Luo Tao with dark circles beneath her eyes.
“What’s wrong? Does your arm hurt that much?” Luo Tao’s voice was full of concern.
Mo Yan looked up at him and was drawn into his gaze that was full of heartache.
Mo Yan’s heart throbbed in pain and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.
Luo Tao was focused on Mo Yan’s wound and did not notice her expression.
“Eat your food before taking your medicine. Take a leave from work today. I’ll bring you to the hospital to have a look.”
Luo Tao frowned and wanted to touch Mo Yan’s shoulder, but he was afraid that he would hurt her. His hand froze in mid-air.
Mo Yan lowered her eyes and held Luo Tao’s hand with her right hand, smiling, “I’m not that noble. It’s normal for it to hurt. If it doesn’t hurt, I’ll wonder if my arm is going to be useless.”
Seeing that Mo Yan was still in the mood to joke, Luo Tao’s worries eased a little. He clasped Mo Yan’s fingers and brought her to the table where breakfast had already been laid out.
Mo Yan loved eating porridge and buns from the small shop downstairs. However, that shop was tiny and crowded with customers, so if she wanted to eat their buns and still be able to go to work on time, she had to go downstairs early to queue up.
Sometimes, when Mo Yan said she didn’t want to make breakfast, Luo Tao would go downstairs to help her buy it. It was unknown when the two of them had become accustomed to getting along so warmly.
“You…”
Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao and didn’t say anything in the end. She pulled him along to have breakfast.
“I don’t want to request for leave from work. Mo Lian and I aren’t on good terms. She came to the company yesterday to discuss a collaboration. If I absent myself, she might have something to say about me again.”
Mo Yan complained as she chewed on her bun. She might have caused trouble for Mo Lian in her previous life, so she came to seek revenge on her in this life.
Hearing Mo Yan’s words, Luo Tao’s thin lips opened slightly and closed. He wanted to say that he could support her so that she need not work so hard, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything.
“I remember you said that if you had money and didn’t have to work, you would want to go on a vacation?” Luo Tao asked.
Mo Yan nodded. She didn’t expect Luo Tao to remember what she had mentioned in passing.
“Then when your arm has healed and you’re on leave from work, let’s go out and enjoy ourselves! Just the two of us.”
Luo Tao’s voice was very soft and gentle, like a feather drawing circles on Mo Yan’s heart. Mo Yan’s face was slightly flushed. “It’s still early! Didn’t the doctor say that my arm needs to rest for more than a month?”
“If you want to go, I’ll make plans first.”
Luo Tao seemed to be seriously considering this matter, and was waiting for Mo Yan’s reply.
Thinking of all the things that had happened since she came onboard the company, Mo Yan suddenly felt a little tired, and she nodded in agreement.
Luo Tao’s eyes were smiling. “Then let me decide where to go! I want to give you a surprise.”
Mo Yan raised her eyebrows. Her mind was instantly attracted by the word “surprise”.
“Surprise? It won’t turn into a shock, will it?” Mo Yan teased.
“Do you not trust your husband?” Luo Tao pretended to be serious.
They looked at each other for a moment and suddenly laughed out loud.
