Chapter 1178: Chapter 1220: Matters of the Heart

"Since you don’t want to read it, I’ll put the letter away along with the bank card. If you ever want to read it, just go to the study at any time! I’ll put it in the first drawer on the left side of the desk!" With that, he placed the bank card into the envelope and put it back in his pocket in front of Ling Yueyue.

Ling Yueyue stubbornly said, "I won’t read it, there’s nothing worth seeing! No matter what she says, I’m not interested! She’s leaving tomorrow, and from now on, she and I are strangers. I don’t know her, she doesn’t know me, and we’ll never have any dealings with each other!"

Huo Junmo said nothing in response to Ling Yueyue’s words, only gently touched her head, "No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you!"

"I’m going to take a shower!" Ling Yueyue didn’t respond to Huo Junmo’s words and was even less inclined to continue discussing Ling Shenglan, abruptly standing up and heading directly to the bathroom.

Watching Ling Yueyue disappear at the bathroom door, Huo Junmo sighed inwardly, stood up, and left the room, placing the letter in the study.

As soon as Huo Junmo left and the room door closed, the bathroom door quietly opened again!

Ling Yueyue leaned against the doorframe, staring at the tightly closed room door, her eyes filled with deep disappointment and grievance.

Why? Why? Why does her mother have no feelings for her at all? She said she doesn’t want to recognize her, doesn’t want any interaction, but that’s just talk!

Deep down, she truly hoped her mother would come to her, begging for her forgiveness!

Even if she would say some insincere things, as long as she pleaded with her a few more times, she would certainly soften her heart and forgive her.

Why doesn’t she even get the opportunity to plead with her? Could it be that, in her heart, her daughter is really redundant? Really carries no weight in her mind?

Initially, she spoke so well, saying she came back specifically to find her! But after finding her, she still doesn’t acknowledge her!

Since learning the truth from her aunt, she’s been waiting for her mother to come find her!

Although she added her mother’s phone number to the blacklist, her home is here, she spends almost every day at home with her child. If she couldn’t reach her by phone, couldn’t she come to the house to find her?

This indicates that she never sincerely intended to come back to find her! The previous words were just deceitful lies!

Thinking that her biological mother is going to fly away tomorrow, Ling Yueyue angrily slammed the bathroom door, turned on the heater, took off her clothes, and stood fiercely under the heater to shower.

Usually, she showers quickly, but today she spent a full forty minutes in the bathroom!

Huo Junmo sat on the bed, repeatedly checking his wristwatch, watching as time slipped away second by second, listening to the continuous sound of water flowing from the bathroom, the worry on his face became clearer.

After glancing at the time once more, unable to sit still, he finally stood up and walked to the bathroom door, intending to knock on it. Just then, the sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and the next moment, Ling Yueyue opened the bathroom door from inside.

Seeing Ling Yueyue’s dripping hair and reddened eyes, Huo Junmo asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Why did it take so long today? Your eyes are red?"

"I’m fine, I got shampoo in my eyes while washing my hair, so I stayed inside to rinse my eyes," Ling Yueyue spoke evasively, her eyes avoiding Huo Junmo’s gaze.

Huo Junmo narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to resist scrutinizing Ling Yueyue from head to toe.

"I’m really fine!" Feeling uncomfortable under Huo Junmo’s sharp gaze, Ling Yueyue pushed him away from the bathroom entrance, walked to the bed, and sat down to expertly dry her hair with a towel.

"Let me help you!" Seeing her reluctance to speak, Huo Junmo didn’t ask further, walked over, took the towel from her hands, and gently dried her dripping hair.

Ling Yueyue accepted his help without resistance, closed her eyes, and enjoyed Huo Junmo’s tenderness.

Once Ling Yueyue’s hair was mostly dry, Huo Junmo placed the towel back in the bathroom.

By then, Ling Yueyue was already lying on the bed, eyes closed. Possibly hearing Huo Junmo’s footsteps, she didn’t open her eyes, only spoke, "I’m so tired, I want to sleep. You go shower and then sleep early too!"

Huo Junmo walked to the bed, leaned down, brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead, and gently planted a kiss on her forehead, softly saying, "Good night, have a sweet dream!"

"Mmm!" Ling Yueyue softly replied, adjusted herself to a comfortable position, and stayed silent.

Huo Junmo gazed deeply at her, then turned off the room light, headed to the bathroom to shower, and afterwards, sat beside the bed under the dim light from the bedside lamp, watching Ling Yueyue’s sleeping face while drying his wet hair with a towel.

Once his hair was dry, he laid down beside Ling Yueyue, wrapped her in his arms, gently kissed her forehead again, and whispered in her ear, "Sweetheart, good night!" With that, he slowly closed his eyes.

.........

The next day, as usual, Huo Junmo, Ling Yueyue, and Tiantian sat together for breakfast, and Ling Yueyue held Tiantian as she watched Huo Junmo and Huo Jiantian leave until their car was out of sight before heading back inside.

Once inside, Ling Yueyue absently held Tiantian, remaining unresponsive no matter how Tiantian tugged at her clothes or nibbled her arm.

After a while, she suddenly stood up, handed Tiantian to the nearby nanny, gave a brief instruction, and headed upstairs!

Upstairs, Ling Yueyue went directly to the study, sat in the office chair behind the desk, and reached out to open the first drawer on the left side of the desk!

But her hand hesitated in mid-air!

Ling Yueyue’s eyes were fixed intently on the first drawer on the left side of the desk, while her hand hovered outside the drawer, never making a move.

After gazing for a while, Ling Yueyue withdrew her hand, sitting complexly behind the desk, her eyes flickering, face full of inner conflict.

After a while, unable to resist, she reached out to open the drawer but retreated midway.

After several repeated attempts, she finally couldn’t resist opening the drawer, seeing the letter Huo Junmo brought back yesterday lying quietly inside, her eyes flickered, yet she didn’t reach out to take it.

Ling Yueyue silently observed the letter for a long time, her heart pounding harder and harder, with the inner conflict in her eyes never dissipating.

After a period of internal struggle, Ling Yueyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and decisively took out the envelope, opening it to take out the letter inside.
