Chapter 1164: Chapter 1206: Unable to Choose

Seeing Huo Junmo’s expression, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help asking, "What? You investigated me so clearly, don’t tell me you don’t know about this? Back then this matter caused a huge stir in our village, everyone knew, there wasn’t a single person who didn’t!"

Huo Junmo answered truthfully, "I only investigated your background, I never looked into your love life. The people from your hometown didn’t take the initiative to mention this either, so I really didn’t know that something like this happened to you when you were eighteen!"

Ling Yueyue tugged at the corner of her lips and mocked herself, "Aren’t those people in the village all obsessed with gossiping everywhere? You still need to ask them? Isn’t it just that once you open your mouth, she’ll rattle on and dig up my ancestors for eighteen generations and tell you everything in detail?"

Seeing how strong Ling Yueyue was acting, Huo Junmo’s heart tightened slightly. Feeling distressed, he said, "If only I’d met you earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much! It’s because I didn’t get to know you sooner and protect you that you had to go through so much at such a young age."

Ling Yueyue smiled, not taking it to heart. "What’s this compared to? I think I’m doing pretty well! I just have a pair of unreliable parents, that’s all. And they’re fake parents on top of that! My bestie Ye Anxin is the one who’s really miserable, she went through way more than me at such a young age! I think I’m fine, living freely on my own."

"From now on I’ll definitely protect you properly. I won’t let you suffer even the tiniest bit of harm ever again!" As he spoke, he pressed down on the back of Ling Yueyue’s head and forcefully stamped a deep kiss on her forehead.

"Alright, stop being all mushy. I know very well how good you are to me. I’m living very happily now, very content! It’s enough for the four of us as a family to live joyfully together! Don’t let your mood be affected by people who aren’t worth it!" As she spoke, she lightly pushed at Huo Junmo’s chest and urged, "Okay, you’ve been back this long already, you should get back to the company. I know how to handle my own affairs, you don’t need to worry about me. Hurry up and go back to work! I really don’t want you delaying business because of me, our family still needs you to make money and support us!"

Huo Junmo said firmly, "I’m not going to the company today, I’m staying home to keep you company!"

"No need. I told you, you don’t have to worry about me. I know how to deal with my own matters. I’m an adult, I’m Tiantian and Tiantian’s mother. If I can’t even handle this little bit of stuff, how am I supposed to educate my own kids? You not going to the company and staying here to accompany me means you don’t trust me. If you don’t trust me, I’ll get angry!" As she said this, Ling Yueyue deliberately straightened her face, glaring at Huo Junmo unhappily.

Seeing her like that, Huo Junmo could only sigh and say helplessly, "Since you say so, I’ll head back to the company first. Tonight I’ll come home early after work to have dinner with you."

Ling Yueyue urged impatiently, "Alright, go, go. Deal with everything at the company before you come back to keep me company. I, Ling Yueyue, am not that weak. If I were that weak, I’d have died long before today!"

"Alright then! I’ll head out first, my strong lady wife!" Saying that, he once again firmly kissed her red lips before finally standing up and leaving.

Ling Yueyue stood up and saw him all the way to the door. Only after he drove off did she return to the yard.

From the rear-view mirror, Huo Junmo saw Ling Yueyue go back inside. He stopped the car again, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

After a while, the call connected, and the familiar voice of the butler came through. "Hello, Huo Family Villa!"

Huo Junmo said in a deep voice, "It’s me, sir. I’m on my way to the company right now. Today, arrange for someone to secretly keep an eye on madam all day. If madam shows even the slightest sign of anything wrong, call me immediately!"

The butler nodded, "Understood, sir!"

"Mm." Huo Junmo nodded in satisfaction, hung up, and then continued driving toward the company.

On the other side, after seeing Huo Junmo off, Ling Yueyue walked back alone and sat down again in the same chair as before.

The relaxed, cheerful expression she’d had just now gradually vanished, replaced by a trace of sadness and disappointment!

She’d said she wouldn’t hate, wouldn’t resent, but the truth she learned today was really too shocking for her! Parents suddenly turned into uncle and aunt, and an aunt suddenly turned into a biological mother! Could there be anything more melodramatic than this? This kind of thing has always only appeared in TV dramas, and she never thought it would actually happen to her, Ling Yueyue.

Thinking about it was truly ironic. All the fantasies she’d once had about family were completely shattered in an instant! There was no going back, none of it could be restored!

Starting today, she had suddenly lost all blood-related family except for Tiantian.

How laughable...!

Thinking of this, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but laugh, but that laughter was filled with endless bitterness and heartache.

......

Elsewhere, in the hotel where Ling Shenglan was staying!

After taking a phone call just now, her mood wasn’t any better!

Because that call was from her husband, Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng had given her an ultimatum, demanding that she return immediately, as fast as possible, or else he’d divorce her and cut off their marital relationship.

But things over here still weren’t settled. How could she go back?

She couldn’t figure it out either. Her husband had been fine before, very supportive of her. How did his attitude suddenly do a complete 180?

Though her husband hadn’t said much, she could clearly feel strong anger in his tone.

What was he so angry about?

Ling Shenglan couldn’t make sense of it, only feeling a faint ache in her temples. Between her husband and her daughter, she didn’t know how to choose.

She sat dazed on the sofa, phone in hand, her gaze fixed on the now-dark phone screen! She kept turning the screen on and off. When she saw Tiantian’s smiling face on the phone’s lock screen, her eyes softened involuntarily. Almost without thinking, she pulled up Ling Yueyue’s number and dialed.

It had only been two days, but she already felt she missed Yueyue and Tiantian so much!

The more time she spent with them now, the more she realized she could no longer live without Yueyue and Tiantian!

But in her current life, it wasn’t just Tiantian and Yueyue. She also had her husband and her younger son!

Among these four people, she couldn’t bear to leave even one of them!

However, after the call went out, the other side prompted that the call could not be connected.

Ling Shenglan frowned, hung up, and dialed again! The result was the same—the call could not be connected.

Unable to get through, Ling Shenglan put the phone down, simply assuming that Ling Yueyue’s phone had run out of battery and shut off, or that she’d gone somewhere with poor signal. She didn’t think any deeper about it.
