In the living room of the Huo family, Tang Lingwei hummed a tune and sat lazily on the sofa, blowing on her newly-manicured nails as she waited for Huo Jingyun to come back.
She specially made soup and sent it over to please Huo Jingyun.
After all, what happened before had greatly reduced Huo Jingyun's impression of her. She had to salvage her image no matter what.
At this moment, Su Zichu put his hands behind his back and walked towards her with his short legs.
Tang Lingwei glanced at him with disdain.
"Huo Chenyu, why are you still wandering around outside at night? Go upstairs and sleep quickly!"
He should stop being an eyesore to her here, and their third wheel when Huo Jingyun came back later!
Su Zichu didn't say anything either. He just looked at her with a smile and his lively eyes darted around, like a little fox who wanted to do something bad!
Tang Lingwei frowned and immediately became vigilant.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw the little guy run to her and raise his hand…
Tang Lingwei subconsciously closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she only felt a sharp pain on her face and body.
Looking down, she saw countless caterpillars crawling on her body.
"Argh!"
Tang Lingwei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly got up and shook the caterpillars off her body in a flurry.
"Huo Chenyu, are you asking for a beating? How dare you pull a prank on me? I'm your mommy!"
"Hmph, you're not my mommy! You're an old witch!"
Su Zichu looked at Tang Lingwei's sorry state and made a few faces at her. "Caterpillars love stinky people the most. Old witch, see how much the caterpillars like you!"
"Ah, it hurts! Are you all dead? Come and help!"
Tang Lingwei's face, hands, and bare parts of her body were bitten by the caterpillars as she kept shaking them off, looking like a lunatic as she did so.
A few servants quickly ran over and helped her take away the remaining caterpillars.
A few bumps had already appeared on Tang Lingwei's face, and her face was twisted with anger.
She rushed towards Su Zichu and grabbed the boy, who was about to escape. She reached out and pinched his butt and body a few times.
"Huo Chenyu, I'm too good to you, right? How dare you climb on my head and prank me? I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Pain came from his butt and body, and Su Zichu shouted in pain.
"Ah! Old witch, how dare you hit me? Let go of me!"
"You're still calling me that? Huo Chenyu, I've always doted on you too much! I must beat you until you know you're wrong today!"
Tang Lingwei was furious. She pressed Su Zichu against her body and beat him up fiercely.
"Ahhh! Grandpa Butler, Big Uncle, come and save me! Boohoo, Xiao Bao is going to be beaten to death by this old witch! Mommy, save Little Treasure quickly!" Su Zichu shouted in pain.
The butler and Ah Bin, who were at the side, were burning with anxiety. Just as they were about to go forward, the man's deep and cold voice came from the door.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing this voice, Tang Lingwei finally regained her rationality.
She let go of Su Zichu and squeezed out two drops of tears as she got up and walked towards Huo Jingyun.
"Jingyun, look at Chenchen. He's so unbecoming! He caught some caterpillars and threw them at me! My face hurts, and so does my body. Am I disfigured?"
Huo Jingyun wasn't in a good mood. When he saw Tang Lingwei's red and swollen face, his expression became even darker.
"Huo Chenyu, you've done well! Uncle Li, take out the whip!"
The young master was going to teach the little young master a lesson with his own hands!
The butler was shocked and quickly said, "Young Master, Little Young Master has just recovered. He can't take a beating."
"Can't withstand a beating? I think he's itching for a beating!"
Huo Jingyun's aura was cold and his face was full of gloom.
Su Zichu shouted angrily, "Big baddie, you're hitting me for her? Are you blind? Can't you see that she's a bad woman? I think you've become stupid from doing business. Ugh…"
Ah Bin covered his tiny mouth again.
Ah Bin's forehead was full of cold sweat. Under Huo Jingyun's death gaze, he stammered, "President Huo, the little young master had hit his head and even caught a cold. He hasn't recovered yet, so I'll take him upstairs to rest first."
Little Young Master, why are you talking nonsense again?
What was he trying to do by provoking his father these few days?
He hoped that the Little Young Master would understand what he meant.
The little young master's personality had just changed drastically because he hit his head.
He didn't mean to challenge his father's authority!
Ah Bin carried the little guy upstairs in a hurry. Huo Jingyun's handsome face was sullen and the pressure around him was extremely low.
Tang Lingwei, who was on the side, didn't get to see Huo Jingyun teach the little guy a lesson, and she immediately scolded Ah Bin for being nosy in her mind.
However, she pretended to be gentle on the outside.
"Jingyun, I'm fine. Forget it, don't lower yourself to the child's level. He's probably too playful. Besides, I still have to apologize to Chenchen. I was so angry just then, so I hit him a few times. I wonder if he'll hold a grudge."
Huo Jingyun looked fierce to his son on the outside, but he actually doted on him a lot.
She had to admit her mistake in front of him first, in case a servant said anything about what happened just then.
"He's too naughty. You're his mommy, so it's right that you teach him a lesson."
The man's expression was still cold, but what he said wasn't reproachful.
Instead, he thought that she was right!
Tang Lingwei's heart skipped a beat and she took the opportunity to say, "Mm! Jingyun, you've worked too hard the last two days. I specially asked the helper to make you some tonics. Shall I get you a bowl?"
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Huo Jingyun treated her a bit differently tonight.
He was less cold and more patient!
He seemed to have returned to her attitude before Tang Yuyue came back!
"No, thanks."
Huo Jingyun glanced at Tang Lingwei. "Let's go. I'll go to the hospital with you."
He should remember the fact that she was his fiancée.
Whether he liked her or not, he had no reason to keep treating her coldly!
"Huh?"
Tang Lingwei was flattered. Seeing Huo Jingyun walk towards the door, she quickly followed him.
A hint of ecstasy appeared in her mind. Even though she didn't know what was going on, it was a good thing as long as Huo Jingyun doted on her!
…
The next day.
"Tang Bao, Mommy is going to work!"
As usual, Tang Yuyue said goodbye to her son as she changed her shoes.
"Mommy, give me a hug."
Huo Chenyu hugged Tang Yuyue and sniffed her familiar fragrance with a reluctant look.
He was going to be himself today again.
He couldn't bear to leave Auntie Sue!
"Why is this child getting more and more clingy?"
Tang Yuyue smiled happily and kissed the little guy's face. "Alright, Mommy is leaving! Be good at home and call Mommy if you need anything. See you tonight!"
"Okay, Mommy, bye."
Huo Chenyu and Tang Yuyue waved and turned around hurriedly, not letting Tang Yuyue see his tears.
Boohoo!
He couldn't bear to part with Auntie Sue.
How good would it be if she could become his mommy?
At the Huo Corporation.
Tang Yuyue rushed over at the right time.
She was going to be late in three minutes' time. She had to clock in quickly!
Her slender body surpassed the employees nimbly and her destination was right in front of her.
However, at the corner, the tall figure of a man suddenly came into view.
Tang Yuyue couldn't stop herself and threw herself into his arms.
