Chapter 1134: Chapter 1176: Acting Without Permission

Hearing Huo Junmo’s response, Ling Yueyue’s eyes almost popped out of her sockets!

If looks could kill, Huo Junmo would probably already be riddled with holes from Ling Yueyue’s glare.

Seeing Huo Junmo agree, Ling Shenglan directly ignored Ling Yueyue’s expression, nodding repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, then I’ll come to see you tomorrow!"

Huo Junmo also ignored Ling Yueyue’s murderous glare, smiling and saying, "You can call me before you come tomorrow, I’ll send a driver to pick you up!"

Ling Shenglan hurriedly shook her head to refuse, "No need, no need for such trouble, I can just take a car myself, you just need to give me the address!"

"Not troublesome at all! My place is in a villa area, once you enter, you have to walk quite a distance, taxis can’t go in! So, I’ll still send someone to pick you up tomorrow! Besides, you are Yueyue’s aunt, which makes you my aunt too, it’s perfectly normal for me to pick you up!" Huo Junmo seemed to completely forget Ling Yueyue’s presence, chatting wholeheartedly with Ling Shenglan.

Meanwhile, Ling Yueyue’s face was flushed red, her hands on the table tightly clenched into fists! Especially seeing Huo Junmo’s smiling face, sycophantic demeanor, she felt like slapping him twice.

She found it weird, it was only the first meeting, why was he being so enthusiastic? It’s as if he’s seeing his birth parents!

If before she had a good relationship with her aunt, and her aunt treated her like her own daughter, she could understand him treating her aunt well!

But, she never really had a close relationship with her aunt before, and their connection was even more distant this time they met, so why was he trying to please her aunt?

"Oh, since that’s the case, then I’ll trouble you tomorrow!" Saying this, she took out a business card from her purse and handed it to Huo Junmo, "This is the business card of the hotel I’m staying at, with the address on it. I’ll come over early tomorrow, whenever you find convenient to pick me up—at eight, nine, or ten is fine!"

Huo Junmo took the card with both hands, smiling as he said, "I’ll have the driver pick you up early tomorrow! If it’s convenient for you, how about eight o’clock? You can join us for breakfast afterwards! It’s not far from where we live, half an hour at most!"

Hearing she could join them for breakfast, Ling Shenglan nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay, breakfast together sounds good, I’m free all day as long as I don’t disturb you!"

Huo Junmo smiled, saying, "You’re absolutely not disturbing us!"

At that moment, Ling Yueyue really wanted to reply, Yes, you are disturbing, it’s very inconvenient for them, please don’t come!

But seeing that Huo Junmo had already agreed and the two of them made their plans without consulting her at all, Ling Yueyue was annoyed but still held back!

Not wanting to watch them continue chatting, since she didn’t know if they’d bring up something she couldn’t accept, Ling Yueyue discreetly tugged on Huo Junmo’s arm under the table, smiling falsely at him, "Mr. Huo, we’ve been out for a long time, Tiantian might be missing us, we’ve finished eating, shall we go back? Otherwise, Tiantian will start crying!"

Hearing that her granddaughter might cry, Ling Shenglan said quickly, "Since Tiantian is missing you both, you should hurry back! Children are young and need their parents around!"

This feeling, she never experienced it before, only recalling it now, thinking back to how Yueyue liked clinging to her before she was three, felt very attached to her!

However, at that time, she transferred all her hatred for Yueyue’s biological father onto Yueyue, so regarding her clinginess, she didn’t feel any happiness or pride, but rather disgust!

So, every time Yueyue came over trying to be sweet, she would push her away mercilessly!

Yueyue was a very perceptive child, skilled at reading adults’ emotions! Because of her prolonged coldness and impatience, over time, Yueyue stopped being sweet to her! She didn’t cling to her anymore!

She hadn’t realized this before, but upon meeting again and recalling the past, she discovered she had missed out on so much precious time and the best opportunity to bond with Yueyue!

Now thinking back, she deeply regrets it! Unfortunately, there’s no cure for regret in the world, she can only try to make up for it with the time she has left!

Smart as Huo Junmo was, he naturally understood the meaning behind Ling Yueyue’s words, since Ling Yueyue put it that way, he didn’t say anything further, smiling as he said to Ling Yueyue, "Auntie, if that’s the case, we’ll take our leave now, Yueyue is right, Tiantian is only half a year old, we better go back soon or she’ll cry hard, we’ll head back to accompany Tiantian!"

Ling Shenglan nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay! You head out first, I’ll settle the bill!"

"Then we’re leaving!" Huo Junmo nodded at Ling Shenglan, taking the initiative to carry Yueyue’s purse and then left hand in hand with her.

Ling Shenglan’s gaze lingered on them all the way to the door until their figures completely disappeared, only then did she call a waiter over.

The waiter politely asked, "Is there anything you need?"

"The check please!" Ling Shenglan said while opening her purse to get her wallet.

The waiter smiled and replied, "No need, the gentleman who was dining with you already covered it!"

Ling Shenglan paused in her wallet-grabbing motion, looking up puzzled at the waiter, "You mean the gentleman I was dining with already paid?"

The waiter nodded, "Yes!"

"Oh! Okay, got it!" Ling Shenglan nodded, putting her wallet back into her purse.

Seems when Huo Junmo said he was going to the restroom, he actually went to secretly settle the bill!

What a child! While he may not express much verbally, he shows his intent through actions! It’s clear that he really is a genuinely good kid.

After the interaction just now, Ling Shenglan’s impression of Huo Junmo reached an all-time high.

After packing up her purse, Ling Shenglan stood up and left too.

After leaving the restaurant, Ling Shenglan didn’t go anywhere else, uncertain where to go, she went directly back to the hotel.

When she stepped out of the hotel elevator, she saw Ling’s father with his head bowed, pacing outside her room. Sometimes he raised his hand wanting to knock, did some gestures, but pulled back each time!

Repeating this many times, still not knocking, instead sighing continuously outside the door.

Seeing him like this, Ling Shenglan felt both hate and pity for him! After sighing inwardly, she walked slowly over, suddenly speaking, "What are you doing standing here? Do you need something from me?"

Startled by the sudden voice, Ling’s father jumped, quickly turning his head.
