Chapter 993: Chapter 1035: I Am Your Husband

Throughout the journey, neither Huo Junmo nor Ling Yueyue spoke again.

From the beginning until now, Ling Yueyue’s brows were tightly furrowed, and even upon returning home, her brows were still knitted, clearly indicating she was burdened with heavy thoughts.

When they came in, Huo Jiantian rushed up to them and hugged Huo Junmo’s legs, exclaiming excitedly, "Dad, why are you back? The butler just said you had a dinner meeting tonight and wouldn’t be home for dinner! I thought you weren’t coming back!"

Huo Junmo gently patted his head and said softly, "I let Uncle Meng Bo attend the dinner meeting! I’m back to spend time with you!"

"I knew Dad loves me the most!" Hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Huo Jiantian was overjoyed. After a while, he finally noticed Ling Yueyue walking beside Huo Junmo, frowned, and reluctantly greeted, "Wicked Stepmom, you’re back too?"

Deep in thought, Ling Yueyue didn’t hear Huo Jiantian’s words, nor did she notice he was right in front of her.

Seeing this, Huo Jiantian pouted and immediately complained to Huo Junmo, "Dad, look, Wicked Stepmom is ignoring me! I knew it, she looks down on me and doesn’t like me from the bottom of her heart!"

Huo Junmo gave him a warning look, his tone still gentle, "What nonsense are you talking?"

"Exactly! She just doesn’t like me!" Huo Jiantian said with grievance, lowering his head. Though he didn’t dare to say anything openly, he still muttered defiantly in a low voice.

At this moment, the butler walked over and spoke respectfully and politely, "Sir, Madam, Young Master, dinner is ready! You can eat after washing your hands!"

"Hmm!" Huo Junmo nodded, gently patted Ling Yueyue’s shoulder, and said softly, "You must be hungry, let’s eat first! Everything will sort itself out in time, no use worrying now!"

"Oh!" Ling Yueyue didn’t know whether she heard him but nodded gently, absentmindedly following Huo Junmo to the restroom. Upon reaching the restroom door, she suddenly remembered something, grabbed Huo Junmo’s arm, and said anxiously, "Hey, I remember, yesterday many media attended our wedding. Will the news of our wedding appear in newspapers or magazines?"

Earlier on the way, she had been thinking about how to avoid letting her father meet Huo Junmo and prevent her father from knowing Huo Junmo’s identity!

Suddenly, she remembered that during her and Huo Junmo’s wedding yesterday, to show respect for her and to announce his identity, Huo Junmo invited many media reporters!

If today those media and journalists publish the news of her and Huo Junmo’s wedding or photos in newspapers or magazines, what if her father sees them while passing by a newspaper or magazine stand?

To praise Huo Junmo, those reporters will definitely make a big deal out of it. By then, even Huo Junmo’s ancestors might get published in newspapers or magazines!

If her father found out she married one of Jin City Five Young Masters, Huo Junmo, and then told her mother about it, her life would be miserable!

Seeing Ling Yueyue looking tense, Huo Junmo smiled and said, "Don’t worry, because of the Nan Family’s presence yesterday, there were some issues at the wedding, so I’ve already asked Meng Bo to instruct that our wedding should not appear in newspapers or magazines!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Huo Junmo gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Alright, stop overthinking and wash your hands for dinner!"

"Hmm!" Ling Yueyue nodded, silently went into the restroom, washed her hands, and sat down at the dining table without a word.

Though normally she had a good appetite, today, due to her worries, she ate very little and went upstairs gloomily after finishing a bowl of rice!

Seeing her looking so dispirited, Huo Jiantian, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, puzzledly asked Huo Junmo, "Dad, what’s wrong with the Wicked Stepmom? Why is she so down? Did something happen?"

Usually accustomed to bickering and arguing with the Wicked Stepmom, he felt it was quite strange to see her looking so unenergetic today!

Huo Junmo didn’t answer, just said lightly, "Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult affairs!"

Huo Jiantian pouted, dissatisfied, "I’m just concerned about her! If she’s like this, could she be sick? If she’s sick, she should see a doctor immediately!"

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow, looked at Huo Jiantian with an amused expression, "Weren’t you always disliking her? Why are you suddenly concerned about her today?"

"...!" Hearing this, Huo Jiantian’s cheeks flushed, and he mumbled shyly, "It’s just because she saved me from Auntie yesterday, so I gave her a little sympathy, not that I care about her!"

Seeing Huo Jiantian’s small actions and expressions, Huo Junmo smiled without exposing him and continued eating.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Ling Yueyue lay on the bed listlessly, remembering the day’s events left her frustrated, causing her to completely forget about jumping on Huo Junmo earlier.

When Huo Junmo came out of the shower, she was still lying flat on the bed with her arms spread out, staring blankly at the ceiling as if lost in thought.

Huo Junmo sighed inwardly, walked over to sit by the bed, and said softly, "If you have anything on your mind, feel free to speak up. The more people know, the more support you’ll have!"

Ling Yueyue shook her head, not looking at Huo Junmo, still staring at the ceiling, and said weakly, "Nothing, just in a bad mood."

Huo Junmo was silent for a while, then asked, "Are you thinking about the man we met this afternoon? Ever since you met him, you’ve been like this! I’m your husband; if there’s anything, just tell me, and I’ll definitely help you!"

"Husband... help me...!" Ling Yueyue savored these four words carefully!

Because of these four words, her unfocused eyes gradually gained focus, and she slowly turned to look at Huo Junmo, lips parting as if to say something, when the room door suddenly opened. Huo Jiantian rushed in, lay down beside Ling Yueyue without a word, arms and legs spread wide, and declared, "I’m sleeping with Dad tonight! None of you can make me leave!"

Ling Yueyue: "...!"

Huo Junmo: "...!"

Unaware of the situation, Huo Jiantian didn’t sense the strange atmosphere in the room and refused to move from the bed.

Huo Junmo frowned, unhappily said, "Huo Jiantian! Go back to your own room!"

"I don’t want to! I’m sleeping here today! I’m scared alone!" Huo Jiantian shook his little head firmly!

After returning from the wedding scene yesterday, he was so tired he fell asleep immediately, waking up only this morning! That’s why they had the opportunity to sleep together!
