Chapter 119: Ghost-Possessed Brother Huo

Mo Yan gestured to the two of them and walked to the side to answer the phone.

“Hello? Luo Tao?”

“Where are you now?”

The two of them spoke at the same time. Mo Yan was stunned by Luo Tao’s words, but she still answered truthfully, “I was attending Lin Group’s anniversary celebration just now. Something happened and I came straight back to the hotel. What’s wrong?”

Hearing Mo Yan’s words, Luo Tao felt both relieved and a little disappointed. He could only find an excuse to prevaricate, “Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to give you a call.”

“Oh? Why? Did you miss me again?” Mo Yan turned around and waved at Xu Tian and Li Guoguo, indicating for them to go back first.

On the phone, Luo Tao seemed to be in a noisy environment. There was a lot of noise around him.

“Yes, I miss you. I miss you every day.” Luo Tao’s voice was soft and deep, like an elegant cello. It tickled Mo Yan’s heartstrings and made them tremble for him.

Mo Yan blushed and whispered into the phone, “Don’t you text me every day? Yet you still miss me. It’s only the fourth day of my business trip!”

“I can’t help it. I want you to be by my side at all times.”

Luo Tao said this sincerely. Whether it was in C City or Jing City, he always felt that there were many dangers around Mo Yan. He hoped that he could protect her under his wings.

“I miss you too! After the project is completed, come to Jing City. We’ll play for another two days to make up for time that we spent apart, okay?”

“Okay.”

Luo Tao’s gentle voice dispelled Mo Yan’s bad mood. She always felt that Luo Tao was the best medicine to calm her down.

When the two of them finally hung up the phone, Luo Tao turned around and faced Du Jing, who was looking at him with his mouth wide open.

“Did you hear all that?” The question instantly brought Qin Yuan and Du Jing back to their senses.

“Brother Huo, you, you, you!”

Qin Yuan covered the mouth of the person beside him and laughed dryly, “No, we didn’t hear anything.”

Seeing that Qin Yuan was tactful, Luo Tao put away his cold expression and patted Du Jing’s shoulder when he passed by. “Watch your mouth.”

Luo Tao walked gracefully, leaving only two quails trembling on the spot.

Du Jing said, “Qin Yuan, was that really brother Huo just now? Are you sure he wasn’t possessed? Do you need me to find a ghost exorcist or something?”

Qin Yuan elbowed him. “You idiot! That really was brother Huo.”

“No way! I thought it was just a person who looked like him. H-he… Why did he say those things?”

Actually, Qin Yuan did not expect Huo Zhen and Mo Yan to get along like this. He was also a little confused.

“How would I know! Anyway, just pretend you didn’t hear it. Also, the girl that Huo Zhen asked you to send a gift to is the sister-in-law that I mentioned. In the future, if you can take care of her, then take good care of her. If you can’t take care of her, then stay away from her.”

Du Jing finally recovered from his shock. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why? I think sister-in-law is quite interesting. Also, the black-haired girl beside her is my type.”

“Damn! How dare you have such thoughts about sister-in-law’s friend? You’re bold!”

Qin Yuan looked at Du Jing with a shocked expression. The painful experience of him being suspected of having an affair with his sister-in-law was still vivid in his mind. He didn’t want to experience Huo Zhen’s jealousy again.

“A gentleman needs his fair lady. I don’t think that girl was wearing a ring, so she shouldn’t be married! Isn’t it okay for me to chase after her?” Du Jing said.

“Tsk, sister-in-law isn’t wearing a ring too! Why don’t you try chasing after her and see if Huo Zhen won’t kill you?” Qin Yuan mocked him.

Hearing Qin Yuan’s words, Du Jing subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

“Hmm… It seems like I have to do my homework before chasing after her.”

Mo Yan returned to the upper floor of the hotel. The moment she entered the room, she could feel tension in the air.

Xu Tian sat at the table while Li Guoguo sat on the bed. It was unknown what the two of them were thinking about.

Mo Yan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, “Are we still working on the proposal tonight?”

The three of them were supposed to be back late, so they had no plans to work after coming back. Since there was an incident and they had to come back early without collecting any new information, the only thing the three of them could compete on was the content of the proposal. If they wanted to win this project, they could only make their sales proposal even more brilliant.
