Chapter 978: Chapter 1021: Sweet Talk and Flattery

Ling Yueyue: "...!"

Huo Junmo: "...!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue’s fiery temper flared up again, "You brat, what do you mean by that? You’re saying I’m not as good as those common girls?"

Huo Jiantian nodded solemnly, "Of course not! Our teacher said we should be honest kids!"

"You little brat, watch how I deal with you!" Ling Yueyue angrily put down her bowl and chopsticks, rolled up her sleeves and stood up, ready to grab Huo Jiantian by rounding the dining table.

But as she was passing by Huo Junmo, Huo Junmo grabbed her arm.

Taking advantage of the situation, Huo Jiantian purposely stuck out his tongue at Ling Yueyue, making a cheeky face at her.

"Huo Junmo...!" Ling Yueyue was furious! She realized that dealing with a brat like Huo Jiantian, you can’t back down; the more you give in, the more he pushes his limits! With him, you have to use a mix of soft and hard tactics, being too soft or too hard won’t do.

Huo Junmo smiled lightly, soothingly saying, "He’s just saying things to annoy you, what’s there to be mad about! As long as I think you’re better than those common girls, that’s all that matters. You’re marrying me, not him! Don’t be angry, hurry and eat! If your stomach gets upset, it’s you who’ll suffer!"

Huo Jiantian: "...!"

With Huo Junmo’s comforting, Ling Yueyue’s mood immediately improved!

That morning, her mood was like a rollercoaster, up and down, sometimes good, sometimes bad!

"Hmph! I, an adult, won’t stoop to your level!" Ling Yueyue threw a sidelong glance at Huo Jiantian and returned to her seat, picked up her bowl and chopsticks and continued eating breakfast.

"Dad...! How could you!" He never thought his dad could have a day where he’d be sweet-talking a woman. He’d barely managed to provoke his venomous temper, only for it to be placated by a few words from his dad! Truly infuriating him!

He looked at his dad with a great sense of disappointment.

Huo Junmo glanced coldly at Huo Jiantian and warned, "Eat! Remember my words, no talking while eating and no talking before bed!"

"Hmph...!" Huo Jiantian huffed loudly, glared fiercely at Ling Yueyue, and buried his head in his food, unwillingly.

After breakfast, Ling Yueyue’s mood was exceptionally good! She had already thrown the affairs with Ling’s mother and father that morning far behind! She was the type whose temper would come and go quickly.

And Huo Jiantian was the complete opposite! Throughout breakfast, his mood was extremely gloomy! Even when Huo Junmo dropped him off at school, he was still puffing his cheeks, looking sulky.

After dropping off Huo Jiantian at school, there were only Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo left in the car!

Huo Junmo was the first to speak, "Before the wedding, find some time so I can meet your future parents-in-law!"

Ling Yueyue didn’t even think and directly refused, "They’re in the countryside, it’s the busy farming season now, so they probably don’t have time!"

Huo Junmo couldn’t help but glance at Ling Yueyue, laughingly saying, "Before the wedding, you should at least meet them! We also need to discuss things like the dowry! They’ve raised such a big daughter to marry me, they can’t just give her away for free, right? There should be some sincerity!"

"What dowry! I’m a person, not a commodity! No dowry needed!" Thinking of her parents’ faces, if they really discussed dowry, she was 100% sure they would make a huge demand!

Ling Yueyue is a person, not a commodity; she doesn’t want to trade herself for money!

Moreover, all these years, her parents never fulfilled their duties; she sent all her earnings from working back home, which should be enough to repay them for raising her! So, they really have no right to ask Huo Junmo for a dowry.

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow, confirming again, "Really don’t need it?"

Ling Yueyue firmly replied, "Don’t need it!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue’s resolute attitude, Huo Junmo couldn’t say much, only said, "Alright then! Whenever your future parents-in-law are available, give me a call! I’m very flexible with my schedule!"

"Oh!" Ling Yueyue responded nonchalantly.

Anyway, if possible, she never wants Huo Junmo to meet her parents! In the twenty years she’s lived in Jin City, her parents have always been in the countryside and have never come to Jin City to visit her. They surely won’t show up in the future! As long as she keeps it hidden, they should never meet.

Huo Junmo continued, "I’ll have someone look for the best photography studio! We’ll find a time to take our wedding photos!"

"We’re even taking wedding photos?" Ling Yueyue was surprised and didn’t expect Huo Junmo to follow through with all the wedding procedures!

She thought they would just get the marriage certificate and follow some formality; she never considered wedding photos or a grand ceremony!

Huo Junmo nodded, speaking in an indisputable tone, "I said it before, life happens only once. Since we’re getting married, it should be grand and ceremonious. Everything that should be there needs to be there!"

Ling Yueyue shrugged, helplessly saying, "Fine! You’re footing the bill, so do whatever you want; I have no objections! This wedding, whatever you want to do, just do it! On the day, I just need to be your bride!"

"...!" Huo Junmo glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and until he sent her to the school entrance, he didn’t say another word.

............

There’s no denying it, Huo Junmo’s efficiency was quick, and the invitations were printed out promptly, because they hadn’t taken their wedding photos yet, the invitations didn’t have their wedding photos printed on them, but featured two cartoon images instead!

Once the invitations were printed, they were sent out quickly!

Then came the wedding photo session!

The process of taking wedding photos went smoothly! Since Ling Yueyue only had Ye Anxin as her good friend, and the two had agreed that no matter who gets married, the other must be their bridesmaid, absolutely no exceptions!

Thus, Ye Anxin naturally became Ling Yueyue’s bridesmaid! As for the best man, Huo Junmo’s good buddy Yan Qinghan took on that role.

The wedding day approached, yet Ling Yueyue never told her parents about her marriage! But how could a couple marry without their parents attending!

At a loss, Ling Yueyue had to spend money to hire a man and a woman to pretend to be her parents on her wedding day!

Time flew by, soon it was the wedding day!

On that day, before dawn, the designer personally invited by Huo Junmo arrived at the hotel to do Ling Yueyue’s makeup!

Luckily, Ling Yueyue was smart enough to go to bed early, knowing she’d have to get up early today! She was already awake and waiting before the makeup artist arrived!
