Lu Zhaoyang looked down at the broken bowl, and just as she was about to say something, a lazy voice was heard saying, “Grandma, it is all right. Since you know she can’t do it well, you can always get others to do it. The maids are here for a purpose.” Huo Yunting walked in and stood between Lu Zhaoyang and the granny.
The granny knew what her grandson was up to; he just wanted to protect the woman. She could only groan inwardly as she would not vent her anger at Huo Yunting.
“What are you waiting for? Clean up and serve Granny.” Huo Yunting said the maid next to him. He then turned around and whispered at Lu Zhaoyang, “Hurry up and leave.”
Lu Zhaoyang was grateful to him. Noticing Granny’s anger in the corner of her eyes, she left with Huo Yunting. Lu Zhaoyang was thinking of ending her cold war with Huo Yunting when she saw that he was so protective of her. She followed Huo Yunting closely from behind with her head bowed, as if she was tracing his shadow. Huo Yunting suddenly stopped in his tracks right at the corner. Lu Zhaoyang did not manage to react on time and hit her nose on his back. She reflexively stepped back and rubbed her nose in pain.
Huo Yunting looked back at her cute reaction. “Why do you have to swallow the insult instead of fighting back?”
“How can I be rude to an elderly? Granny is old. What if she falls ill if I do not listen to her?” In Lu Zhaoyang’s mind, she owed the granny too much and had caused her so much trouble. So, she did not want to go against the will of the granny. After all, the granny was Huo Chen’s mother and Huo Yunting’s grandma.
Huo Yunting could barely accept this explanation. There was a more straightforward way to know if Huo Xu was his son; that was to ask Lu Zhaoyang directly. But his ego was in his way, and he could not gain the courage to ask. So, Huo Yunting could only go downstairs and groaned inwardly.
Right after Huo Yunting left, Lu Zhaoyang only realized that she forgot to thank him. But it did not matter, she was not in a hurry as she knew that they would meet again.

Four hours later, in a luxury condominium in the city, Ming Yue sat on the couch sipping on her glass of wine. Whenever the scene of her getting exposed by a child came to mind, her cheeks would blush. She had never been shamed like that all her life. She would not give up.
It had been a long time since she and Huo Yunting last appeared on the news. If this went on any longer, people would forget about her very soon in this ever-changing world. She was especially anxious when seeing Huo Yunting showing his concern for Lu Zhaoyang.
Just then, Ming Yue’s assistant, Xiao Qiao, ran in anxiously, “Sister, sister!”
“What is the noise all about?” Ming Yue dropped the script in her hands and looked up impatiently. She intended to spend her day memorizing the script at home, but not a single word she had memorized so far.
“Our men just spotted Special Assistant Huo going to the hospital. Could it have something to do with the child? Is President Huo…” Xiao Qiao ran up to Ming Yue and said quietly, “asking him to do a paternity test?”
“Paternity Test?” Ming Yue sat up straight, her mind racing.
“Sister…”
Ming Yue immediately put down the glass and put on her shoes in a panic. “Go to the hospital. If they were really father and son, I would not have a place in his heart.”
