Lu Zhaoyang chuckled at his accusatory tone. “Not everyone shares your priorities, you animal.”
“So you didn’t? You managed to run away together, are you telling me you push things any further?”
Huo Yunting may not sound convinced, but he believed her the moment she replied.
His hands slowly eased open as his fingers became intertwined with hers.
Lu Zhaoyang’s eyes glistened coldly. “Huo Yunting, I never imagined that you would do something so shameless. You promised to keep my relationship with Chen a secret, so why did you expose our story to the Huo family? Is it simply to satisfy your carnal desires? President Huo, if you crave for women, the Golden City can offer as many as you want. Why did you have to back me into a corner?!”
Huo Yunting was surprised. Did she really think he did that?
Did she think he was that kind of person?
He slowly loosened his hands and laughed softly as he stood up. He looked down at Lu Zhaoyang and said, “I have never been one for tricks and deceit.”
Huo Yunting turned around and promptly left the room without defending himself any further.
The door slammed loudly behind him!
Lu Zhaoyang was taken aback. For a moment, she thought he looked hurt or something...
No. She shook her head wildly. That must a trick of the eye!
The last few days had worn her out. Surely that was why she had mistakenly seen that. How could Huo Yunting ever feel emotionally hurt?
Lu Zhaoyang ignored those crazy thoughts. She was still wearing thick woolen clothes and the high temperature in the room had made her sweat.
She had just put on a new change of clothes when she heard the sound of the car engine from downstairs.
She felt much better with Huo Yunting away.
Nevertheless—whatever did he mean just now?
Not one for tricks and deceit? She would never believe him.
He would do anything to achieve his goals!
...
Lu Zhaoyang stayed indoors for the rest of the day. When it was time for dinner, she went downstairs to the familiar dining table only to find that there was enough food for two.
Was Huo Yunting at home?
Did he not leave earlier today?
Just then, she heard those familiar, sluggish footsteps from the stairs behind her. She ignored his approach and started on her dinner.
Huo Yunting did not mind her coldness. No one spoke throughout dinner.
There was only the muffled sound of chewing. Everything was so peaceful.
Lu Zhaoyang had left, but now she was back under Huo Yunting’s control.
If she escaped again, would he repeat his strategy and expose their marriage to the public?
That would be a bombshell to everyone involved!
However, leaving him for a second time was almost impossible.
Lu Zhaoyang ruminated as she chowed down her food as quickly as possible. The thought of his energetic enthusiasm for a certain activity made her shudder inside.
She almost slammed her chopsticks on the table when she was done. She took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and swiftly left the dining room.
When she was gone, Huo Yunting smiled and stroked his chin.
“Am I really that scary?”
“No, Sir.” The butler immediately shook his head in confusion.
His employer was handsome, rich and powerful. He also treated his wife so well. Why on earth would she dislike him?
