Chapter 1002 - 1044: Got Scolded
Ling Yueyue cautiously glanced at the restroom door, covered her mouth and the phone’s microphone with her hand, and whispered, "Didn’t I give you three hundred bucks yesterday? Extend for another day, I’ll come to find you tomorrow! I don’t have time to go today!"
Ling’s father hurriedly said, "Then you must come find me tomorrow! I’m out of money! I only have enough to stay for tonight!"
"I know! If you’re hungry, just buy something to eat! I have things to do, I’ll hang up!" Saying this, without waiting for Ling’s father to react, she directly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she put the phone in her pants pocket, washed her hands, and opened the restroom door to walk out.
Huo Jiantian was sitting on the sofa at home, watching Ling Yueyue come out, and deliberately said loudly, "Lazy people poop and pee a lot!"
Ling Yueyue fired back without hesitation, "Never heard of the three human urgencies! Acting like you don’t poop or pee at all!"
"...!" Huo Jiantian was at a loss, looked at Huo Junmo beside him with grievance, hoping he would stand up for him!
Instead, Huo Junmo furrowed his brows tightly and said unhappily, "Where did you learn to talk like that? Haven’t I taught you to speak politely!"
"...!" Hitting a snag despite hoping for Dad’s support, and not only not getting it but also getting a scolding, Huo Jiantian pursed his lips, lowered his head, and stayed silent!
Seeing Huo Jiantian looking all pitiful, instead of going over to comfort him, Ling Yueyue gleefully piled on, "That’s right, young ones shouldn’t learn bad things, spending all day picking up nonsense! Don’t forget, you’re the future heir of Huo Tian Group, you mustn’t shame your dad! That’s said at home, if you said it outside in public, people would think your dad isn’t teaching you properly!"
"...!" Seeing Ling Yueyue not only having no sympathy but also rubbing salt in the wound, Huo Jiantian, furious, lifted his head and glared at her.
If looks could kill, Ling Yueyue would have been shot through the heart by a thousand arrows by now!
After teaching Huo Jiantian a lesson, Huo Junmo shifted his gaze to Ling Yueyue, who was smugly victorious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said sternly, "And you, he’s a kid, only five years old, it’s normal not to understand many things and learn some wrong stuff! But as an elder, you should educate him properly, telling him which words can be said and which can’t! As a twenty-year-old adult, accompanying him in speaking such crude words—is that appropriate?"
Ling Yueyue lowered her head and grumbled softly in dissatisfaction, "I was just following his lead! How can I be blamed for this!"
Huo Junmo’s expression hardened, and he reprimanded, "Still arguing! If he says something wrong, you should correct him! At this age, children don’t have a clear sense of right and wrong! As an adult, an elder, you should guide him properly, not blurt out whatever should or shouldn’t be said!"
Being scolded for no reason, Ling Yueyue’s little face turned red, feeling a bit ashamed, she looked at Huo Junmo with resentful eyes.
Huo Jiantian, who had been extremely unbalanced, seeing Ling Yueyue being reprimanded along with him, his mood shifted from gloomy to bright, and his face broke into a smile like a blossom! Seizing a moment when Huo Junmo wasn’t paying attention, he even deliberately pulled a face at Ling Yueyue to tease her!
Ling Yueyue, annoyed to the core, clenched her fists, though not daring to talk back anymore, hurriedly shook her fist warningly when Huo Junmo’s gaze moved away.
One making faces, the other shaking fists, neither willing to back down!
Even though he wasn’t watching them, the corner of his eye caught their little antics, and Huo Junmo sighed inwardly, though keeping a straight face he asked, "Did you hear what I just said clearly?"
When asked by Huo Junmo, Huo Jiantian quickly put away his grimace, and Ling Yueyue retracted her fist, both bowed their heads and replied obediently, "We heard clearly!"
Huo Junmo asked again, "Dare to make the same mistake next time?"
Huo Jiantian and Ling Yueyue answered in unison again, "Won’t dare!"
"Alright, go eat!" Saying this, Huo Junmo stood up from the sofa and walked towards the dining room!
Huo Jiantian pulled another face at Ling Yueyue, who once more shook her fist, and then the two followed Huo Junmo to the dining room!
Watching Huo Jiantian’s smug little face, Ling Yueyue quickened her pace, hopped over to Huo Junmo’s side, affectionately wrapped her arm around his, rested her head on his shoulder, squinted and smiled, using a syrupy sweet voice, "Husband, I know I was wrong, I promise it won’t happen again, please don’t be angry! If you’re angry, I won’t be able to eat or sleep!"
Surprised by Ling Yueyue’s sudden affectionate gesture, Huo Junmo stopped, and looked at Ling Yueyue in astonishment.
Following behind them, Huo Jiantian shivered, his goosebumps scattering all over the floor.
Sensing Huo Junmo’s gaze, Ling Yueyue intentionally blinked her bright big eyes, threw a flirtatious glance at Huo Junmo, and coyly said, "Husband, why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"
Without a word, Huo Jiantian was quicker to respond, "So gross, are you trying to disgust me to death? I’ve scattered goosebumps everywhere! I think you’re doing it on purpose, trying to make me lose my appetite!"
"...!" Ling Yueyue grit her teeth in secret, completely ignored Huo Jiantian’s comment, and sweetly smiled at Huo Junmo again, "Husband, let me help you sit down and serve you dinner! Please don’t be angry!"
Huo Junmo smirked slightly and said, "I’m not angry! But seeing you like this, I don’t think I need dinner!"
Ling Yueyue asked puzzled, "Why?"
Huo Junmo grinned wickedly and replied, "Because I’m already full from your disgust!"
"...!" After Huo Junmo spoke these words, Ling Yueyue’s smile froze, anger surged through her, and her expression twisted slightly with grievance, she asked, "You don’t like me like this?"
Huo Junmo decisively replied, "Don’t like! Women like that are a dime a dozen outside! Just be your real self!"
"...!" Originally just trying to please Huo Junmo a little, unexpectedly being disliked by him instead! Ling Yueyue instantly found it boring, pouted, released her hold on Huo Junmo’s arm, and strode to the dining table to sit down, leaned back on the chair unceremoniously, "Since you don’t like me like that, I won’t bother faking it anymore! I’m really hungry, let’s eat quickly!" Saying this, she didn’t wait for Huo Junmo and Huo Jiantian to sit down, directly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started wolfing down.
Watching Ling Yueyue change in an instant, Huo Jiantian pouted disdainfully, "Her face changes faster than the weather! No wonder people say a woman’s heart is as deep as a needle, it’s true!"
