Chapter 1104 - 1146: Who Will Compromise First

Chapter 1104: Chapter 1146: Who Will Compromise First

"Mmm! I did sleep well, but I’m starving!" As she spoke, she groggily found her phone and glanced at the time. When she saw the time displayed on the phone, she suddenly sat up from the sofa, widened her eyes in surprise, and exclaimed, "Oh my God! It’s already two o’clock? I slept for three hours! Wow, when did I become such a long sleeper?"

Huo Junmo stood up from his office chair, walked over to the sofa, sat down, and gently ruffled her sleep-disheveled hair. He smiled and said, "Silly girl, isn’t it normal for pregnant women to be sleepy? Sleeping well is a good thing! Aren’t you hungry? Do you want to go out to eat or order takeout?"

"Let’s go out to eat! I don’t like takeout; the taste changes by the time it’s delivered!" She said this while standing up from the sofa, heading towards the restroom in the lounge, and added, "Wait for me a bit, once I’m washed up, we’ll go out together!"

Watching her leave, Huo Junmo chuckled and shook his head. Instead of returning to his desk to work, he stayed on the sofa, waiting for Ling Yueyue.

About ten minutes later, Ling Yueyue came out from the bathroom, holding her stomach! Huo Junmo helped Ling Yueyue with her bag in one hand and wrapped his other arm around her rounded waist, leading her out of the office and taking the elevator to the ground floor.

Because of the time and Ling Yueyue’s hunger, the two of them chose a nearby Chinese restaurant for their meal!

After eating, Ling Yueyue accompanied Huo Junmo back to the office to work, staying until the afternoon. After Huo Junmo finished work, they picked up Huo Jiantian from school and went home together.

Time quietly slipped away, peaceful and happy!

Due to her pregnancy, Ling Yueyue temporarily chose to suspend her studies. But staying at home was too boring, so she almost joined Huo Junmo every day for commuting to work, and then they picked up Huo Jiantian from school together to go home.

Just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye!

Life for Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue continued as usual, and because of the months passing, Ling Yueyue’s belly grew bigger!

This side was full of joy and happiness, while Ling’s mother, locked in a cell, grew increasingly anxious with time, becoming more and more restless day by day!

Seeing Ling’s mother pacing back and forth in the cell, Ling’s father rubbed his aching temples and weakly said, "Can you stop walking around? You’re making my eyes blur! Sit down, calm down!"

When Ling’s father spoke, the elder sister couldn’t help but speak up either, "Mom, we’ve been locked up here for a month. You said we’d be out soon, right? Why is it taking so long with no news? Mom, I’m scared. I don’t want to stay here. I want to go home, I want to go home!"

Ling’s mother was already anxious, and hearing Ling’s father and elder sister speak like this made her even more agitated.

At this time, the second sister stood up, walked over to Ling’s mother, linked arms with her, and nervously said, "Mom, are we going to be stuck here for life? Are we going to be imprisoned forever? Mom, I’m only fourteen, I don’t want to stay here forever, I want to go home, I miss the third sister and fourth brother! If we’re locked up here forever, what will happen to them?"

Seeing her precious daughter’s anxious little face, Ling’s mother’s heart ached. She gently patted her hand and comforted her, "Second sister, don’t worry, we won’t be locked up here forever. We will definitely get out, you have to trust what Mom says; I won’t break my promise!"

Listening to Ling’s mother repeatedly comforting them every day, the elder sister stood up in anger, trembling, pointing at Ling’s mother, and furiously said, "You said the same thing a month ago, and now you’re saying it again. How do we get out? Tell me, how do we get out? You said Huo Junmo would relent, agree to give us ten million and obediently send us back! But what happened? He’s out there living freely, probably already forgotten we’re locked up in here! And you don’t even think, he’s so wealthy and capable, why would he agree to your unreasonable demands! If he keeps us locked up here forever, will anyone know? It doesn’t harm him in any way, but for us, we’d be stuck here forever, living in this dark prison forever! You even said you’d introduce me to a wealthier and more handsome man than Huo Junmo as a husband! Now I haven’t found a husband, but I’m facing a lifetime in prison!" As she spoke, tears started falling, crying as she continued, "You’re a liar, Mom’s a liar. I don’t want to stay in prison forever, I want to go out, I want to marry a rich man, I want to leave here!"

Seeing the elder sister cry so fiercely, Ling’s mother’s heart softened immediately. She walked over and hugged her, gently patting her back as she softly comforted, "Sweetheart, don’t cry, don’t cry! Don’t worry, Mom promised that Huo Junmo would relent and let us out, and he surely will! Don’t worry! We’re fighting him with courage, wisdom, and patience! He won’t be able to endure! Though we’re nothing to him, he cares about Ling Yueyue, that annoying girl. For her sake, he will relent! Just wait, within two months, he’ll definitely come to let us out!"

The elder sister leaned out of Ling’s mother’s embrace, wiped the tears from her eyes, and still asked doubtfully, "Really? What if he doesn’t let us out, really forgets we’re imprisoned here?" ℴ

Ling’s mother nodded, confidently saying, "Really, trust Mom, give Mom two more months, and if Huo Junmo doesn’t come, we’ll seek him out! If it really doesn’t work, we’ll settle for five million instead of ten million!"

The elder sister questioned, "We’re locked in a cell, how do we seek him out? We can’t even get out!"

Ling’s mother gently patted the elder sister’s face, filled with self-assuredness, "Silly girl, aren’t there police officers in the prison? As long as we want to see Huo Junmo, the police will surely inform him! Don’t worry, Mom won’t let you stay in this prison forever! Be patient, Mom is doing all this for you, as soon as we get through this, we’ll enjoy good food and drink, never worrying about having enough!"

Listening to Ling’s mother’s words, the elder sister couldn’t help but ponder for a moment, ultimately nodding, "Okay, I’ll trust you one more time, wait two more months. If Huo Junmo still doesn’t come to let us out, you need to go find him! I’m not even eighteen yet; I don’t want my youth wasted here!"

Ling’s mother smiled and confidently reassured her, "Don’t worry, Mom knows what to do, I won’t waste your youth!"
