Chapter 1176: Chapter 1218: Wait for My Return

Huo Junmo quickly finished reading the contents of the letter! After a moment of silence, he took out the phone from the desk and dialed Ling Shenglan’s number.

The phone rang for a long time, and just as Huo Junmo thought Ling Shenglan wouldn’t answer, the call connected, and Ling Shenglan’s voice came through, "Hello, Junmo!"

Huo Junmo asked bluntly, "Aunt, when are you leaving?"

Ling Shenglan hesitated for a moment and then answered truthfully, "I’ve already bought a ticket, it’s an 8 a.m. flight tomorrow! My husband has been calling and urging me for a long time; whatever the case, I should go back and give him an explanation, to clarify things! Some things that need solving must be solved right away!"

Huo Junmo said, "Yueyue and I will come to see you off tomorrow!"

Ling Shenglan shook her head gently, with a bitter expression, "No need, no need! Yueyue cannot forgive me right now, and I don’t want to force her to do something she doesn’t want to do! I hope you will give the bank card in the envelope to Yueyue, as a way to make up for all these years that I’ve wronged her! In there is also the one million you gave to my brother and sister-in-law, I’m returning it all to you; how you wish to handle it is up to you!"

"Hmm...!" Huo Junmo was silent for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I’ll give the bank card to Yueyue, rest assured!"

"...!" As Huo Junmo finished speaking, there was a temporary silence on the other end from Ling Shenglan.

Neither spoke for a while! After some time, Ling Shenglan spoke earnestly to Su Hong, "Junmo, I’m usually straightforward and don’t like speaking emotionally! But since I’m leaving this time, I still want to thank you for looking after Yueyue; having you by her side gives me peace of mind, knowing I can leave without worry! For these past twenty-one years, I’ve truly wronged Yueyue; her blaming me, hating me, not forgiving me is my own fault, I deserve it! I don’t beg for her forgiveness, but hope you can apologize on my behalf! Tell her I’m truly sorry, sincerely wishing to repent and make amends! If she gives me the chance, I’ll definitely treat her well, making up for all the lost motherly love over these twenty-one years! If she doesn’t give me this chance, I won’t blame her, after all, it was my mistake all these years!"

Huo Junmo promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll convey your words!"

Ling Shenglan said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Huo Junmo laughed, "It’s my duty!"

Ling Shenglan with reluctance said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up! My phone number won’t change, if there’s any situation with Yueyue, I hope you can inform me promptly! Although I’m not by her side, I truly wish to know what’s happening with her at any moment!"

"I will!" Huo Junmo answered simply.

"Goodbye!" After bidding farewell to Huo Junmo, Ling Shenglan reluctantly hung up the phone.

Once the call ended, Ling Shenglan held the phone in her palm, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She’s leaving, finally departing from here! However, she will soon come back, she won’t stay away for long!

Once things with Xiao Feng are settled, and communication with him is clear, she’ll return immediately!

She still has to take revenge for Yueyue; the grievances between her and her brother and sister-in-law are unresolved! Just wait, it won’t be long before she returns!

Ling Shenglan bit her lip firmly, looking at the scenery of Jin City from the taxi, a determined resolve in her eyes.

On the other side, after finishing the call with Ling Shenglan, Huo Junmo put the bank card and the letter back into the envelope! After a moment of silence, he quickly immersed himself in the demanding work again.

Busy for another day! Until half-past five in the afternoon, regardless of whether work was finished, he closed the file, set aside all tasks, put Ling Shenglan’s letter in the briefcase, wore his coat, and left work to go home.

Ling Yueyue precisely timed Huo Junmo’s return, and every day when Huo Junmo returns from work, Ling Yueyue is in the yard with Tiantian waiting for him.

Since Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue married, their routines stabilized; every time before coming home from work, he’d pick up Huo Jiantian from kindergarten.

When Huo Junmo and Huo Jiantian arrived home, the moment the yard gate opened, Ling Yueyue hurriedly with a cheerful smile approached with Tiantian in her arms!

Huo Junmo habitually handed the briefcase to the waiting servant and took the drooling, smiling Tiantian from Ling Yueyue, giving her a strong kiss on her chubby little face, causing Tiantian to giggle.

Ling Yueyue noticed Huo Jiantian standing nearby, pouting with jealousy, and smilingly asked, "Tiantian, how was your day at school? Did you have fun?"

"Not happy! Ever since you and this little devil joined the family, I’ve never been happy!" Huo Jiantian pouted, tilting his head to one side with a somewhat sulky tone.

"Is that so!" Ling Yueyue raised her eyebrows indifferently, took Tiantian back from Huo Junmo, squatted down to be level with Huo Jiantian, and slyly said to Tiantian, "Tiantian, your brother is jealous, your brother is unhappy! Come, give your brother a kiss and make him happy!" Without waiting for Huo Jiantian’s reaction, she directly held Tiantian and leaned her mouth toward Huo Jiantian’s face.

Huo Jiantian couldn’t dodge in time, and soon his entire cheek was covered with Tiantian’s drool.

"That’s gross, you two are disgusting!" Huo Jiantian frowned in disgust, wiping Tiantian’s drool off his face vigorously.

As though oblivious to Huo Jiantian’s disdain, Tiantian giggled even more seeing him like this.

Ling Yueyue didn’t care if Huo Jiantian was truly unhappy or pretending, smiling she said, "See, your sister kissed you, so you can’t be angry and jealous anymore!"

"I’m not jealous, who’s jealous!" Huo Jiantian wiped his face one last time, pouted, and sat on a nearby chair, too lazy to pay them any attention.

Ling Yueyue coaxed, "Alright, my little master, don’t be angry, let’s go inside! Dinner should be ready!"

"Just right, I’m hungry! Going to eat, I won’t bother to be angry at you!" Huo Jiantian glanced at Ling Yueyue and Tiantian arrogantly and walked toward the main house without looking back.

"Let’s go! Let’s go inside and eat!" With that, Ling Yueyue placed Tiantian into Huo Junmo’s arms, chasing after Huo Jiantian.

Watching them leave one after the other, Huo Junmo’s gaze unconsciously fell on the briefcase held by the servant, hesitated slightly, then followed inside with Tiantian in his arms.
