Lu, while squatting behind the bushes, could not help but shudder at the way Huo Yunting greeted his uncle.

Why is Huo Yunting calling him by his name?

Well, technically, their ages are only 4 years apart. Huo Yunting is 25 while Chen is 29, they acted pretty closely as if brothers. So itsomehow makes sense for Huo Yunting to call his uncle by his name directly?

Seems rightjudging from that sincere smile on Huo Yuntings face. He seems to be truly glad of Chens reappearance. But then thats gonna make things harderwhat if my identity gets revealed? Surely Huo Yunting will introduce me to Chen as his sister

Lu pinched her hands restlessly thinking so.

I guess you still get something in the ward, look at you, he glanced at Chen, You look fairer than before. Thats great.

I rather to have never entered the ward in the first place

Chen was right. If he had never fallen into coma, he and Yang would have already been engaged and their first child would be most probablysprinting in this garden.

The fantasy brought a smile on Chens face.

I knew you would not die so easily. The government and their bullcrap. I would not believe it as long as I see no dead body in front of me. That was when Huo Yunting gave a playful punch at Chens chest, So, when do we start?

Anytime, brother. Chen smiled warmly, Hows our family? Youre still the same with your stepmother?

Who the hell cares about that old witch? That infidel shall never be blessed. What should I do? Greet her every morning smiling with a tray of tea like Cinderella? Its the same as before, yet

His announcement halted, as he recalled the Lus expression.

Chen remained anticipated for the following syllable.

its getting complicated He concluded.

The hell do you mean by that?!

Lu Zhaoyang nearly snapped a twig as she peeked through the gaps.

Dont tell meyouve already know about Chen and I?

Oh no

Lus heart raced as she remembered the way she responded to the devils inquiry regarding his uncle it was a giveaway

Its been years, Yunting Chen replied, All these years there are things you are supposed to have let go now. Those plights you form in your head will one day bog you down.

Well, Ill have people to be bogged down along if I have to, said Huo Yunting gleefully, since technically now I am unrelated to Huo Zhenning. But, for you, Ill visit more often.

Its alright. I dont spend much time here. I have the military.

Oh right, I mean, yes, sir! Huo Yunting saluted.

Haha

Lu watched the two men strolling away as they chatted. Her body squatted still as a statue till the two men completely vanished in the other end of the garden. She got up, nearly a tripping over, as she wiped her tears away and put on her makeup again, before dragging her steps of depression back to the ballroom. Her shaking hands seized a glass on the tray and gargled the alcohol.

Sadly, it did not work.

Her heart remained wrenched.

She could see Huo Chen leading a swarm of crowd towards her way. She quickly hit the opposite direction across the long table of desserts, only to distance herself away from him.

It was not because she did not want to see him again. Quite the contrary, it was because of how needy she was on seeing him again that she might be unable to hold her feelings towards him in public.

Lu eventually hit the small group of business elites at one corner. Thunderbolt Corp. led a few collaborations before, so she had basically met all the business people.

Oh, if it wasnt Secretary Lu. You dont look great, whats wrong?

Im fine. Just a little flu. Thank you for your concern, President Yang. She shook her head and courteously replied.

Good to hear that. How about some drinks? Ill be looking forward to the following projects launched by your company. Cheers!
