Chapter 618: The Wife is Right
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The morning sun was hot that day. Lu Zhaoyang felt a burning sensation on the right side of her face, but it was nothing compared to the soreness on her neck.
Huo Yunting took occasional glances at her while he drove.
They passed by a pharmacy, where he stopped and bought a few tubes of ointment for her. He fished out a tube and opened the cap.
Lu Zhaoyang felt a little uncomfortable at his abrupt gentle display.
“Are you really Huo Yunting...” This definitely felt like someone else.
Huo Yunting plastered a smile on his face and said, “Yes, I am Huo Yunting, your husband.”
“...” What kind of trick was he up to now? Lu Zhaoyang spread her hand and said, “Give me that, I’ll do it myself.”
“Be a good dear and don’t move.”
Driven by guilt, Huo Yunting applied the ointment gently on the red marks on her neck. There was a cooling sensation on his fingertips, which she must be feeling too.
Lu Zhaoyang turned her head away and endured the excruciating pain.
After he was done, Huo Yunting reached his hand behind her head, pulled her face to his, and kissed.
“Hmm?!”
What is wrong with him? One minute he’s applying cream to her neck, then now this!
She slapped on his back in protest but he did not let go.
Finally, she bit down on him and managed to force him to retreat.
“We’re just beside the road. Don’t just up and go crazy for no reason. Let’s go back to the office, there are more important things to do!”
She frowned and heaved a long sigh as she looked out the window. She hoped the ointment would do its job so that her son would not see her like this.
“Alright.” He paused for two seconds before adding, “The wife is right.”
Wife?
Huo Yunting had not called her that for a very long time.
All this weirdness... Was it because of her words back at the cemetery?
He said that he thought she caused Aunt Qiu’s death on purpose, and that it had something to do with her mother.
The thought made her uneasy. She hoped that her mother was not involved, or the repercussions from Huo Yuning would be disastrous.
The man was a ticking time bomb.
At the office, they entered the elevator together. Once the elevator doors shut, he started to fool around again.
He circled an arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, “Should we go pick up Huo Xu together later?”
“Why are you changing so much so quickly?”
What’s with his two-faced performance?
They were cold to each other in the last few days, but now his attitude made a complete turnaround.
Lu Zhaoyang pointed at the CCTV and said, “Mind your manners, I don’t want to be the center of attention.”
D*mn it, I’ll ask Huo Li to remove the camera tomorrow!
He was getting impatient, but let her go in the end.
After wrongly blaming her for so many years, he felt more inclined to treat her better.
Unlike the president’s carefree attitude, Lu Zhaoyang’s was the exact opposite. She cared about the bigger picture and their responsibilities at work.
Once they were in the office, she entered into work mode and started thinking about Xiang Jinxi.
She wondered why he was still not making a move.
Was he adopting a wait-and-see attitude?
That did not sound like Xiang Jinxi.
There must be a larger scheme in play.
Huo Yunting looked at her and felt an urge to know what was on her mind. He noticed again the marks on her neck and raised his left hand to touch it.
The elevator door opened at that moment.
Lin Yazhi right outside the door and quickly shut her eyes.
“I... I didn’t see anything!”
I’m so dead!
She promptly disappeared to the normal staff elevator.
