Chapter 1053: Chapter 1095: Shadow

Hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue furrowed her brows tightly and said displeasedly, "What’s the matter? Do you feel sorry for her because I’m treating her this way? Or do you actually have feelings for her but just haven’t married her because she’s your ex-wife’s sister and you’re afraid of public opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Junmo couldn’t help but reach out and gently scrape her nose, "What nonsense are you talking about? What I mean is, no matter what, she’s Tiantian’s laughter, Jiansi’s sister. Don’t go too far, leave some room for future meetings!"

Ling Yueyue glared at Huo Junmo fiercely, puffing her cheeks, and said angrily, "She already has feelings for you, and instead of quickly cutting off her affections for you, you still talk about future meetings? Someone like that should be avoided as far as possible! You say you don’t have feelings for her, but I think you do!"

Fearing Ling Yueyue might misunderstand, Huo Junmo hurriedly explained, "She is Tiantian’s laughter, and no matter what, Tiantian is also the Nan Family’s grandson. The Nan Family and us can’t avoid meeting all our lives! So my point is, just make her lose her fondness for me!"

Originally with a tense face, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she saw Huo Junmo’s nervous expression, "Oh, I was just joking! I know what you feel for me? I also know you have no interest in Nan Jinning! If you were interested in her, you would have married her long ago, and I wouldn’t be Mrs. Huo today! Don’t worry, as long as she gives up, I won’t go overboard! I will save face for you and Tiantian; I, Ling Yueyue, know my limits, rest assured!" She said, patting her chest heavily to guarantee.

"Hmm! I have confidence in you!" Huo Junmo nodded, then rubbed Ling Yueyue’s forehead, asking gently, "Are you tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours? Let me run a bath for you first!"

"I’m not tired! Didn’t I sleep for more than an hour on the way back! I can bathe by myself!" She said, flashing a mischievous smile, and added ambiguously, "In fact, you’ve been holding me for so long, you’re surely more tired than I am! I’ll run a bath for you after I finish mine!"

Huo Junmo’s heart warmed, gently pinching Ling Yueyue’s supple and nearly pinchable cheek, "My wife is so considerate!"

"You’ve just realized? I have many good qualities. You’ll have time to discover them!" She said, giving him a peck on his handsome face, and then headed to the bathroom for a shower.

As she needed to shower and wash her hair, Ling Yueyue took some time in the bathroom. After bathing, she wrapped her body in a towel, squatted down to turn on the bathtub faucet, adjusted the water temperature, and only then opened the bathroom door to leave!

When Huo Junmo came out of the bathroom, he was standing by the window with one hand in his pocket, holding a phone in the other, facing outward and making a call!

Possibly hearing the bathroom door open, he glanced back at Ling Yueyue, smiled at her, and then softly said something to the other end of the phone before hanging up!

Ling Yueyue walked over, teasing, "Who were you on the phone with? So mysterious? As soon as I came out, you hung up? Were you afraid I’d hear what you were talking about?"

Huo Junmo smiled indifferently, "A call from the Nan Family!"

While wiping her wet hair, Ling Yueyue said, "The Nan Family? Why did the Nan Family call you? Were they reminding you to take good care of Nan Jinning?"

"Hmm!" It was initially a casual tease, but Huo Junmo actually nodded.

Seeing him nod, Ling Yueyue’s hands paused, and she smirked sarcastically, "What a joke! Aren’t we going to take Nan Jinning back? They’re actually asking you to take good care of her? The Nan Family really has some nerve!"

Huo Junmo walked over to Ling Yueyue, took the dry towel from her hand, and while drying her hair, said, "Although Jinning is not the Nan Family’s biological daughter, since Jiansi’s death, Nan Jinning is the only one left in the Nan Family, so it’s understandable they care about her!"

Ling Yueyue disdainfully said, "The Nan Family is really calculating! Don’t think I don’t know what they’re thinking! Since Jiansi died, they’re thinking if Jinning can marry you, the Nans will still be in-laws with the Huo Family! I think Nan Jinning’s coming here this time is certainly what they’re aiming for, to break us up so she can be your wife!"

Huo Junmo smiled gently, vowing, "No matter what they’re thinking, it’s just their thoughts. I’ve never had such a notion! Besides, my wife is named Ling Yueyue, and won’t be someone else!"

Ling Yueyue raised her chin, "Of course! Since I, Ling Yueyue, got married, I’ve never thought about divorce! Whether you like it or not, you won’t shake me off in this lifetime! So, the Nan Family is just dreaming, and it’ll be a dream that never comes true!"

At the start of marrying Huo Junmo, it was indeed because of the child in her belly, and she didn’t have romantic feelings towards him! But as they slowly spent more time together, interacted more, Huo Junmo spoiled her, indulged her in everything, he was gentle, meticulous, considerate, and caring towards her! She found herself gradually falling in love with this man and couldn’t leave him anymore!

Ling Yueyue has always been someone who dares to speak and do, and would never do something against her heart! If she’s fond of someone, she’s going to hold on tightly, and will never let anyone take Huo Junmo away from her! If something obstructs her, she’ll stop it!

Listening to Ling Yueyue’s spirited words, Huo Junmo pursed his lips into a smile, eyes full of affection!

After Huo Junmo helped dry her hair enough, Ling Yueyue took the towel from his hand, warmly spoke, "The water in the bath should be about ready, go take your bath!"

Huo Junmo handed the towel back, grinned, and deliberately said, "I thought you really sympathized with me and were ready to help me wash!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue’s lips curved into a mischievous smile, and without hesitation, she stood up, generously saying, "Help you wash? Of course, no problem! Let’s go, I’ll wash you myself!"

Seeing her like that, Huo Junmo shivered unexpectedly, entered the bathroom without looking back, and locked the door from inside!

Seeing Huo Junmo acting defensively against her like a wolf, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, unsure whether to laugh or cry!

Ling Yueyue shook her head in disbelief and walked over to the closet to grab a nightgown to put on! Because the closet was next to the door, upon reaching behind the door, she suddenly saw a black shadow flash under the door gap!
