Chapter 1128: Chapter 1170: Change

Looking at Tiantian’s adorable little face, Ling Yueyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, pulling at her lips, "I’m not angry, how could I be angry! I’m very open-minded, how could I stoop to the level of a little kid!"

As if he thought Ling Yueyue wasn’t angry enough, Huo Jiantian continued to provoke her, "Tch, a loss is a loss. So what if I’m just a little kid? You can’t even beat a little kid, which proves you’re not even as good as a little kid like me!"

"You...!" Hearing Huo Jiantian’s words, Ling Yueyue slammed the table, stood up abruptly, and pointed at Huo Jiantian’s nose, ready to explode! Huo Junmo, seeing that things were going awry, quickly grabbed her arm and changed the subject, "Tiantian, isn’t it Saturday? Didn’t you say you’d arranged to have dinner with Aunt during the weekend? Why not call her now and see when she’s free, lunch or dinner works!"

Ling Yueyue knew exactly what Huo Junmo meant. She gritted her teeth secretly, glaring daggers at Huo Jiantian, "You brat, just wait, someday I’ll beat you!"

"I’ll wait and see, let’s see how you’ll beat me! Hmph...!" Saying this, Huo Jiantian tilted his little head to the side, completely looking down on Ling Yueyue.

Seeing him like this, Ling Yueyue fumed, "You... are you underestimating me?"

Huo Jiantian was in no mood to concede, nor did he consider that Ling Yueyue was already on the verge of anger, and deliberately continued, "I am underestimating you! You’re too weak, playing chess with you has no challenge at all, it’s boring, you’re absolutely not my match, playing with you wastes my time!"

"You... you...!" Being so blatantly looked down upon by Huo Jiantian, Ling Yueyue’s face turned red with anger, and her hand trembled as she pointed at Huo Jiantian.

"What about me?" Huo Jiantian didn’t pay any attention to Ling Yueyue’s rage, arrogantly tilting his chin up, provocatively staring at Ling Yueyue.

"...!" Ling Yueyue was furious but couldn’t hit him. Always thinking she had a good way with words, yet this time she found herself speechless against Huo Jiantian!

Seeing how angry she seemed, Huo Junmo gave Huo Jiantian a stern look, reached out to grab her arm, made her sit on the chair, and gently said, "Alright, don’t be angry, anger is bad for your health! When you have time, I’ll teach you how to play chess well enough to defeat him soundly!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Ling Yueyue huffed, "Hmph... I don’t want your teaching, I’ll study slowly by myself. I refuse to believe I’ll be beaten by a little brat!"

"...!" Huo Junmo helplessly twitched his lips, continued, "Then don’t be angry anymore, call Aunt, see when she’s free to meet! She’s probably been waiting for our call these past days!"

Listening to Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue gave Huo Jiantian one last glare, took out her phone from her pants pocket, pulled up Ling Shenglan’s number, and dialed.

The call connected quickly, almost as soon as it rang, Ling Shenglan’s excited voice came through, "Yueyue, I’ve finally got your call! Is your husband free to get together for a coffee?"

Ling Yueyue nodded, slightly affected by Huo Jiantian’s earlier influence, her tone less than pleasant, "Hmm! He’s free the next two days, when are you free? We can come find you!"

Ling Shenglan immediately sensed something off in Ling Yueyue’s tone, and asked worriedly, "Yueyue, what’s wrong? Is something bothering you? I feel like your mood’s not great. If something’s wrong, you can tell me, maybe I can’t solve it, but I can share the burden!"

Ling Yueyue replied without hesitation, "No! I’m fine, not unhappy!"

Sitting beside Ling Yueyue, Huo Junmo listened to her words, shifting his gaze from Tiantian to her, his deep eyes flashing slightly.

"But...!" Ling Shenglan seemed skeptical of Ling Yueyue’s words, about to say more, but was interrupted impatiently by Ling Yueyue, "Oh, I said there’s no problem, and if there were, I’d tell my husband. You’re far away, telling you wouldn’t help! Just tell me when you have time, didn’t you say you wanted to meet my husband? We’re free these two days!"

This was the first time in 21 years that Ling Yueyue spoke to Ling Shenglan in such a tone!

She didn’t know why, but she felt annoyed now, and naturally her tone was off! Even she didn’t know why, maybe she was just angry from Huo Jiantian’s taunts!

Ling Shenglan noticed Ling Yueyue’s impatience and gently soothed her, "Alright, alright, you say there’s nothing, so there’s nothing! Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you, as long as you’re happy!"

Ling Yueyue was suddenly taken aback hearing Ling Shenglan’s words.

Such an attitude, hasn’t she been too accommodating? In fifteen years of living together, not to mention accommodating, her Aunt never even showed a nice expression to her! Before, she never dared talk to her this way, she always lived by watching her Aunt’s expressions.

Seeing Ling Shenglan carefully soothing her, Ling Yueyue suddenly felt a bit guilty, her tone unwittingly softened a lot, "Sorry, my tone wasn’t good earlier! But I’m really fine, if something were wrong, I wouldn’t have called you!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue’s tone calm down, Ling Shenglan immediately smiled, "I understand, I understand, it’s me being overly suspicious! I know you’re a good kid, with a good temper, you won’t get mad easily!"

Ling Yueyue nodded and smiled, "Yeah! Because you said last time you wanted to meet Mr. Huo, today happens to be Saturday, he’s home resting, so I called to see when you’re free! If not today, also fine, he’s free tomorrow too, it’s fine either today or tomorrow!"

Ling Shenglan eagerly nodded, afraid Ling Yueyue might think she’s unavailable, quickly said, "Yes, yes, I’m free today, I have nothing going on in Jin City, I’m available anytime! If you’re free today, then I’ll treat you to lunch! What does your husband like to eat? Chinese or Western cuisine, you choose the place, I’ll be there on time!"

Ling Yueyue didn’t give it much thought, directly said, "Then let’s meet at the restaurant across from your hotel, first to arrive will wait, we’ll change clothes and head out!"

Ling Shenglan happily said, "Great! First to arrive waits, see you then!"

"Alright, that’s settled, I’ll hang up now!" Saying this, she hung up after bidding Ling Shenglan goodbye first.
