Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Yunting was probably the best man Lu had ever seen. And also the worst!
W-why are you still in the car, h-h-honey? Lu Yunting responded with a forced smile, fearing that there would be more horrible mischiefs from this devil if she did not get him into the house in time.
Well He looked at his watch, I have a date with Mr. Mu at Golden City later. So, you dont have to wait for me. He smiled charmingly, Sleep early tonight, baby.
And the car zoomed away.
What a relief!Sighed Lu Zhaoyang. If it was only possible, she would hope that Huo Yunting never returned home. A single thought of being under the same roof with that devil was suffocating enough for her.
Wait, Golden City? Isnt that the biggest entertainment building in the city?
Thats great news!
Please, please god, make him fall for another woman so I could be freed from this unfunny joke.
She wished upon the stars. A happy smile could be discerned on her face. She then lowered her head, sighing in relief. Little that she knew that every part of her expression had already been seen in the eyes of the president, through the rear mirror as he drove away.
His eyes raised into a threatening curve as he snickered.
He had an idea.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhaoyang stuffed the certificate into her handbag and walked into the house. She took a quick shower and then laid on her bed.
It had been a long day for her, a tough day too. Her hand reached the pocket watch up her sleeve. She opened it up and her eyes fixed upon the photo within. She gave a careful kiss and smiled serenely. Her brows were then calm as she continued staring at the picture endearingly.
A few moments passed,
Good night
And she fell asleep.
It was the second day of the weekend. It was one of Lus happier days, especially when she realized the devil had never returned as she woke up lazily at noon. She picked her phone up and started listening to her tunes. Oh, the leisure.
Out of a sudden, an incoming call disturbed her.
It was hermom.
Yang Yang my dear, I am coming to the city to visit a friend and Ill be dropping by. Its your day off isnt it? Dont think of running to elsewhere, mom will be there soon. Your mommy misses you, a lot!
Sigh, alright mom. Alr-
She flinched.
The moment of realization almost made her shriek.
She was at Huo Yuntings house at that moment.
Mom!!! W-why did you never tell me about this b-before? Its such a shame, that I-I am at the mall now, yeah,b-buying new outfits. H-How about you spend a bit more time with your friends, while Ill be back, really really soon
Okay sweetie, dont take too long. Mommy wants to see y- She hurriedly hung up and changed her clothes. She grabbed her handbag and stormed out of the building, hopping into the Mercedes which Thunderbolt Corp. gave her. Of all times, mom, why? She clumsily turned on the engine and rushed her way back to her own tiny apartment.
Well, that apartment was merely a camouflage for the fact that she was cohabitating with the devil. She almost forgot about the place since she took that certificate with Huo Yunting two months ago.
She threw the door open and tossed her handbag away as she jumped into action, cleaning the house, fearing that her mother would find out that no one had actually lived in this house for the past two months. She also scattered a few socks and shirts to look more natural.
Right when she slumped into the sofa, the doorbell rang.
Lu Zhaoyang took a deep breath and opened the door in anticipation.
A wealthy-looking woman in her violet one-piece stood before her. The womans smile was gentle and certainly no sign of age could be seen on her face. She would pass as Lus elder sister. That was quite good maintenance there. A mole could be seen at the corner of one of her eyes. Her attractive oval face wielded the charm of a mature woman while retaining the innocence of a girl in her twenties.
Mommy!
Yang Yang oh my sweet angel. Mommy missed you! Said Xue Yuming as she hugged her daughter lovingly, Oh sweetie, you look thinner, what happened to you? She caressed her daughters pale cheek.
Dont worry, mom. Lu Zhaoyang smiled helplessly, Its just I have been busy with my work lately. Yeah, I got so busy that sometimes I forgot my dinner too.
Aww, my poor baby. You still dont know how to take care of yourself despite your age. Well, mommy is here now, everything will be fine. Ill cook you your favorite tonight! Just state your order, Michelin Chef Mom will make them for you!
Uhhh mom I-
Just a sec! She stormed into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator which was empty, Oh dear. Give me a couple of minutes, dear. And Xue Yuming, the star chef who could cook for real, decided to cook her daughter a feast, as she ran down the stairs for a quick shopping spree at the market nearby.
