Chapter 1130: Chapter 1172: What Line of Work Are You In?

Not long after, Ling Shenglan saw the familiar Maybach drive into the parking lot near the restaurant.

From the moment the car went in, Ling Shenglan’s gaze never left the parking lot exit!

A while later, she saw Ling Yueyue and that man come out holding hands! When they were crossing the street, she clearly saw the man naturally holding Ling Yueyue’s hand, his body slightly leaning forward, shielding Ling Yueyue behind him, carefully protecting her all the way across the road.

Although it was a subtle, almost unnoticeable gesture, in Ling Shenglan’s eyes, her fondness for this son-in-law instantly increased!

A man who can naturally protect his woman like this proves that in his heart, this woman holds an important place. At the very least, he must care for her a lot and cherish her dearly.

When the two of them crossed the street together and disappeared from Ling Shenglan’s sight, Ling Shenglan reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Ling Shenglan drank some water as she seated herself, waiting for Ling Yueyue’s arrival!

After waiting for about ten minutes, she saw the waiter leading Ling Yueyue and a tall man inside!

Ling Shenglan quickly stood up and waved at them! Then the waiter led Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo to Ling Shenglan’s table! Huo Junmo politely reached out his right hand to Ling Shenglan, very gentlemanly saying, "Hello aunt, I’m Huo Junmo, Yueyue’s current husband!"

"Huo Junmo?" Upon hearing the name, Ling Shenglan was initially stunned, and then she tried hard to recall this name in her mind.

She didn’t know why the name felt so familiar as if she had heard it somewhere before, but for the moment, she couldn’t remember where she had heard it.

However, even with the confusion, Ling Shenglan didn’t show it and quickly responded, politely shaking Huo Junmo’s hand, smiling as she said, "Hello Mr. Huo, although you’ve been married to Yueyue for such a long time, this is my first time meeting you. Thank you very much for taking care of Yueyue over the past year or so, really, thank you!"

Huo Junmo quickly replied, "Aunt, there’s no need to thank me, I’m Yueyue’s husband, taking care of her is naturally my duty! You don’t need to specially thank me!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Huo, please sit!" Saying this, she released Huo Junmo’s hand and gestured invitingly to a seat opposite her.

Huo Junmo nodded, first pulling out a chair for Ling Yueyue, and only after she was seated did he sit down next to her.

The first thing Huo Junmo did after sitting was to pour water for Ling Yueyue, then considerately handed it to her, "Drink some water first; you mentioned being thirsty on the way here!"

"Mm!" Ling Yueyue nodded, accepting the water he handed over and drinking slowly.

Sitting opposite them, Ling Shenglan watched Huo Junmo’s expressions and every movement, deepening her fondness for him.

To observe whether a man is sincere or just pretending, one can easily see from his behavior and eyes!

Perhaps actions can deceive, but eyes absolutely cannot! She could clearly see that whenever Huo Junmo looked at Yueyue, his eyes were full of deep affection and indulgence!

It seems that Yueyue has truly found her happiness! Initially, she was afraid Yueyue might be bullied by her husband, and even more fearful that her husband might disdain Yueyue because of her parents! But now, it seems all her previous worries were unnecessary.

"Mr. Huo, what do you do for a living? Last time I saw you near the entrance of the Blue Sky Building, you were driving a car that looked very expensive!" During the pause when Ling Yueyue was drinking tea, Ling Shenglan took the chance to speak with Huo Junmo! However, her words were quite tactful, without directly pointing out the car he was driving, which at a glance could easily be worth millions.

As soon as Ling Shenglan finished speaking, Ling Yueyue immediately got choked with a mouthful of tea!

"Cough cough... cough cough...!" Nearly all the water was sprayed onto the table in front, and Ling Yueyue’s face turned red from coughing.

Seeing her discomfort, Huo Junmo quickly reached out gently to pat her back, "Take it slow, even drinking tea can choke you! Are you alright?"

"I... cough cough... I’m fine... cough cough... I’m fine...!" Ling Yueyue brushed aside Huo Junmo’s hand, saying between coughs.

Her reaction was so intense because she completely didn’t expect that her aunt wouldn’t know Huo Junmo! Even if she hadn’t read the newspapers or magazines, she should have heard of Jin City Five Young Masters!

And Aunt actually asked what Huo Junmo does for a living?

Upon hearing this question, it was natural for her to be surprised, and it wouldn’t be unusual to choke because of it!

Ling Shenglan asked with a face full of concern, "Yueyue, are you alright? I saw your face turn red from coughing, do we need to go to the hospital?"

Ling Yueyue quickly shook her head and said, "I’m fine, just accidentally got choked by tea; I’ll be okay after catching my breath... cough cough...!"

"Oh!" Hearing her say this, Ling Shenglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Mr. Huo, you haven’t told me what field you work in yet?" As soon as she said this, Ling Shenglan realized she might have been too blunt, and quickly smiled apologetically, "Sorry about that, Yueyue stayed with me until she was fifteen, and I’ve been out of the country these years, so I’m very concerned about her, wanting to know her situation! You know, as an elder, wanting to understand the younger generation is quite normal, right? It’s only because I care about Yueyue!"

Seeing Ling Shenglan eagerly explaining, Huo Junmo chuckled lightly and said indifferently, "Aunt, no worries! It’s right for you to ask me these things! I know it’s because you care about Yueyue!" Saying this, he paused, then continued, "I’m a freelancer, involved in my own business."

"Really? Business is good, being a boss, there’s future prospects! I didn’t expect you to be so capable at such a young age, running your own business! I wonder what type of business you’re in? Is it doing well? You must be earning a lot of money each year, right?" Ling Shenglan quickly tossed out a series of questions.

The more Ling Shenglan asked, the redder Ling Yueyue’s face became.

She wasn’t angry but was holding back laughter! She thought if her aunt knew that Huo Junmo is not just doing ordinary business but is actually the president of a listed corporation, with subsidiaries spread around the world, she would surely be astonished!

Huo Junmo said rather tactfully, "I’m involved in quite a few industries, but mainly focusing on development and construction!"

"Development and construction, so you’re in the real estate business?" Ling Shenglan looked at Huo Junmo with sudden realization!

In real estate, no wonder he can drive such an expensive car!
