Chapter 984: Chapter 1027: Awakened from a Dream

"Not too bad?" Huo Jiantian said as he walked to the bedside, produced a mirror from somewhere, and placed it in front of Ling Yueyue. "Look at yourself now, don’t you look like a madwoman? Fortunately, my dad wakes up early, otherwise, if he sees this, he would definitely divorce you immediately!"

Ling Yueyue glanced at herself in the mirror. Seeing her bloodshot eyes, dark circles, and messy hair like a bird’s nest, with no grace or image, she merely pouted, indifferently said, "Who doesn’t look like this when they wake up? I think it’s fine, it’s real! If your dad divorces me for this, I’ll despise him!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jiantian couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "You’re so naive! I’ve never met a woman like you!"

Ling Yueyue responded indifferently, "What kind of women have you met?"

Huo Junmo exaggeratedly said, "The women I’ve met usually paint their faces like clowns, their nails sharp and long like demon claws, painted in all sorts of colors! If there’s anything slightly wrong, they immediately run to the restroom to fix their makeup! They fear anyone seeing their true selves!"

"And you say those women are good, and I’m not as good as them?" Ling Yueyue raised her eyebrows, gradually waking up due to her conversation with Huo Jiantian.

"...!" Faced with Ling Yueyue’s question, Huo Jiantian was momentarily speechless, his mouth moved, and after a long pause, he became impatient and simply played the fool, "I’m leaving, I really don’t know what came over me today to say so much to you! Hmph... I’m going downstairs to wait until dad returns from his morning run!" With that, he arrogantly turned his head and fled.

Watching Huo Jiantian’s escape, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but smile, she lifted the quilt, sat up, put on her slippers, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Two days before their wedding, the household maid had already prepared all the necessary toiletries for her, meaning she hardly had to worry about anything.

After freshening up, Ling Yueyue took a set of her usual clothes from the wardrobe, changed into them, and picked up her phone from the bedside table. Just as she was about to put it in her pocket, the phone rang insistently.

Ling Yueyue took a glance and seeing it was Ling’s father’s number, she hung up without a second thought.

Ever since she gave her parents twenty thousand yuan a month ago and they called again asking for money, she had stopped answering their calls!

Every time they called, it was only to ask for money, never a word of concern!

Twenty thousand yuan is enough to last them half a year in their rural area! Furthermore, she’d taken quite a long leave due to the wedding, and her salary this month wasn’t much! If she gave it all to them, what would she eat and drink?

She couldn’t let them take advantage like this, she needed to let them worry a bit.

After she hung up the phone, it immediately rang again.

To prevent Huo Jiantian and Huo Junmo from noticing anything amiss, Ling Yueyue quickly set her phone to silent mode.

Just as Ling Yueyue was going downstairs, Huo Junmo returned from his morning run, just entering the door.

Ling Yueyue squinted with a smile, quickly ran over, fussed, "Hubby, you’re back! Tired? How about I join you upstairs for a bath?"

Upon hearing Ling Yueyue’s affectionate term, Huo Junmo was slightly taken aback, while Huo Jiantian shivered, "Gross! I’m getting goosebumps!"

"...!" Ling Yueyue gritted her teeth, glancing back to warn Huo Jiantian on the sofa. When she turned back to Huo Junmo, she had already swapped to her previous radiant smile.

Huo Junmo’s dark eyes subtly flickered, he awkwardly tugged at the corners of his lips and gently said, "Actually, you don’t have to try so hard, I prefer your original self, more real!"

Ling Yueyue’s smile faltered, "You don’t like me like this?"

Huo Junmo didn’t reply, he lightly stroked her head and softly said, "I like the real you!"

"...!" Being gently gazed at made Ling Yueyue’s cheeks blush, she stared at him dazedly, momentarily lost in thought.

While she was lost in thought, Huo Junmo smiled and walked past her towards the stairs!

Seeing his dad leave for so long and Ling Yueyue still in the same state, Huo Jiantian disdainfully said, "Fool!"

Although Ling Yueyue was somewhat unable to snap out from Huo Junmo’s gentle gaze and intimacy, she distinctly heard Huo Jiantian’s words.

Ling Yueyue turned around, walked over to the sofa, hands on hips, puffing her cheeks angrily, "Brat, who are you calling a fool?"

Huo Jiantian raised an eyebrow, matter-of-factly said, "Isn’t it? I admit, my dad is very handsome, gentle, has masculine charm, all women can’t resist my dad’s charisma! But, please don’t be like those other women!"

Ling Yueyue: "...!"

Huo Jiantian expected Ling Yueyue to fly into a rage upon hearing his words!

Unexpectedly, Ling Yueyue not only wasn’t angry but sat down beside him, seriously pondering something!

Huo Jiantian couldn’t help but push her arm, puzzled, "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Ling Yueyue turned to look at him, still silent, but looked at him slightly entranced.

Indeed! Huo Jiantian this little brat is right, with a man like Huo Junmo, what woman wouldn’t be flattering, compromising, and trying her best to please! It is precisely because he’s seen too many such women, Huo Junmo has become numb and bored, having no feelings!

If she acts like that too, what difference is there from those women!

For Huo Junmo, there wouldn’t be any attraction!

So it turns out, Huo Jiantian truly woke the dreamer, allowing her to suddenly realize!

Huo Jiantian is right, she should be herself! She won’t become one of those ordinary women for the sake of a man!

Thinking about this, Ling Yueyue felt enlightened and couldn’t help but hug Huo Jiantian’s little head, kissing his fair cheeks with enthusiasm, "Haha... Huo Jiantian, for the first time I find you so cute! I really love you, haha...!"

"Gross, let me go! You’re a gross woman!" Being kissed full of saliva by Ling Yueyue, Huo Jiantian just felt his scalp tingle, shuddering, he wanted to push her away but was powerless, and Ling Yueyue, as if on adrenaline, couldn’t be pushed away.

Ling Yueyue held Huo Jiantian kissing for quite a while until Huo Jiantian couldn’t stand it, angrily shouting, "Let me go, I can’t breathe!"

Ling Yueyue then abruptly snapped out of it, quickly released Huo Jiantian, and sheepishly smiled at him, "Sorry, I got too excited, lost control!"
