Chapter 1129: Chapter 1171: Close Relationship

After Ling Yueyue hung up, Huo Junmo said, "Done with the call? Let’s go back to the room and change."

"Mm." Ling Yueyue nodded, stood up, and walked toward the main house shoulder to shoulder with Huo Junmo.

Seeing them leave, Huo Jiantian hurriedly jumped up and trotted after them, anxiously asking, "Hey, if you guys go out, what am I supposed to do at home by myself! It’s so boring!"

"Hmph, you were making fun of me just now and looking all pleased with yourself, weren’t you? Since you look down on me so much, then you can stay home and play all by yourself. This auntie here is taking your dad out!" Having finally found a chance to fight back, there was no way Ling Yueyue would pass up such a good opportunity.

After hearing Ling Yueyue’s words, Huo Jiantian’s face practically turned green!

"Hmph!" Ling Yueyue deliberately mimicked his earlier posture and let out a forceful cold snort!

The worse Huo Jiantian’s expression got, the more smug Ling Yueyue felt. She was thrilled to finally get her revenge, and before she knew it, her face was overflowing with smiles.

"...!" Looking at Ling Yueyue like that, Huo Jiantian was so angry his teeth itched, his little fists clenched tight.

Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo acted as if they had no idea he was angry, and went straight back to their room. Huo Junmo sat on the bed holding Tiantian, while Ling Yueyue went to the wardrobe and took out clothes for the two of them to wear out. Ling Yueyue changed first, then swapped with Huo Junmo, taking Tiantian in her arms so Huo Junmo could change.

While Huo Junmo was changing, Ling Yueyue asked, "Should we bring Tiantian with us? When we met my aunt last time, I didn’t tell her I already have a child."

Huo Junmo shrugged carelessly and said while getting dressed, "Whatever you want. If you say bring her, we’ll bring her. If you say don’t, then we won’t."

Ling Yueyue held the finger-chewing, drooling-and-smiling Tiantian. After thinking for a moment, she sighed softly. "Better not. Tiantian’s too little, taking her out is too much trouble. We’ll leave her with the nanny later. And she can keep Tiantian company at home so Tiantian doesn’t get bored all by himself."

"You decide." Huo Junmo’s attitude stayed the same as before—he didn’t interfere with anything and left everything up to Ling Yueyue.

Ling Yueyue had long since gotten used to this side of Huo Junmo. She knew he was being considerate of her, wanting her to have her own say no matter what she did. He especially didn’t want to force his ideas on her, so when it came to daily trivial matters he basically just went along with whatever she said and never offered an opinion, at most gently reminding her now and then.

Once Huo Junmo had finished changing, Ling Yueyue passed Tiantian into his arms, slung a single-strap bag over her shoulder, and the two of them went downstairs together.

When they came downstairs, Huo Jiantian was sitting on the sofa in the hall, arms crossed over his chest, lips puffed out, staring at the staircase with a thoroughly unhappy look. That little expression and those little eyes—he couldn’t look more wronged.

Seeing his aggrieved little face, Ling Yueyue walked over with a smile, patted his head, and said with narrowed, smiling eyes, "I know you feel really wronged, and I know you’ll be really bored after we leave, so..." She deliberately paused here.

Hearing the first half of her sentence, Huo Jiantian’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly said in excitement, "So what? So you’re not going after all? Or you’re taking me with you? I swear I’ll be super super good, absolutely won’t act up!"

"NONONONO!" Ling Yueyue raised her right index finger and shook it lightly in front of Huo Jiantian, then grinned wickedly. "So, after discussing it with your dad, we decided to leave Tiantian at home to play with you! Well? With your little sister keeping you company, are you happy?"

After hearing that, Huo Jiantian’s whole little face instantly collapsed. "I don’t want to, I don’t want to play with her! Look at her, she’s so gross—her face, her body, her hands, they’re all covered in drool! And she can’t even talk, she only knows how to cry and laugh. She’s no fun at all, I don’t want to play with her!"

"It’s not up to you. You don’t get a choice!" With that, she took Tiantian from Huo Junmo’s arms and directly shoved her into Huo Jiantian’s embrace.

"You...!" Huo Jiantian was frantic, wanting to hand Tiantian back, but Ling Yueyue had already grabbed Huo Junmo and bolted. They quickly disappeared from his sight.

"Giggle giggle giggle...!" Seeing Huo Jiantian in such a flustered panic, Tiantian couldn’t be happier. Her chubby, drool-covered little hand reached for Huo Jiantian’s little face. As a result, all the drool on her hand got smeared all over his face, making his expression even uglier.

"Look at you—know nothing, just know how to laugh. What are you laughing at? What’s so funny? Are you laughing at me for being abandoned by Dad and my evil stepmom, stuck at home to keep you company?" With nowhere to vent his anger, Huo Jiantian could only dump all his resentment on Tiantian.

Unfortunately, Tiantian had no idea what he was saying. She only knew he was talking to her, so she laughed even more happily. Her drool was like an opened faucet, pouring down nonstop, soaking Huo Jiantian’s neat little outfit.

Looking at Tiantian’s masterpiece, Huo Jiantian’s whole face went green! Yet he still didn’t say he’d hand her over to the nanny. He kept holding her on the sofa, chatting away to her like he was talking to himself.

Even though he and this little sister didn’t share the same mom, and she couldn’t speak, and all she did every day was laugh laugh laugh...

Deep down, he actually quite liked this little sister. Because when she smiled, she was just like her name—sweet, sweet Tiantian. Sometimes, just seeing her smile would instantly put him in a really, really good mood.

Thinking of this, Huo Jiantian couldn’t help lowering his head and planting a big kiss on Tiantian’s drool-covered little face.

"Giggle giggle giggle...!" Being kissed by him, Tiantian immediately let out another string of delighted giggles.

Listening to her laughter, Huo Jiantian couldn’t help laughing as well. The little brother and sister played together on the sofa in the hall, having a blast.

Meanwhile, Ling Yueyue pulled Huo Junmo out the front door and headed straight for the parking garage. Huo Junmo got into the driver’s seat, and Ling Yueyue sat beside him.

Normally, under usual circumstances, Huo Junmo drove himself. Unless there was something special, he basically never called a driver.

The car drove out of the yard and headed toward the place they’d agreed to meet Ling Shenglan.

Ling Shenglan was sitting by the window in a Chinese restaurant opposite the hotel, her hands tightly clasped in nervousness, her gaze fixed on the road outside the glass.

Today, she’d deliberately chosen a spot where she could see outside, just so she could personally see Yueyue arrive and see Yueyue’s husband with her own eyes. Thinking of how she’d soon be able to see her daughter, she was nervous—truly nervous—so nervous her palms were sweating.

After waiting for a while, Ling Shenglan saw a familiar luxury sedan driving in from the distance.

She recognized that car. That day outside the Blue Sky Building, it was this car that picked Yueyue up.
