Chapter 1003 - 1045: His Ex-Wife
Ling Yueyue’s mouth was full as she chewed her food and mumbled, "That’s because you don’t understand women! You’re so young, what do you know!"
Seeing Ling Yueyue’s carefree demeanor, Huo Jiantian’s eyes were filled with disdain, "Hmph! I don’t want to understand you! Evil, bad woman!" After speaking, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat as well.
Although Huo Jiantian had a playful personality and liked to mess around with Ling Yueyue, he was still well-mannered when it came to eating. His posture was elegant and unhurried, showing that he had received good education in this aspect.
After eating, Huo Jiantian insisted on dragging Huo Jiantian to accompany him in the living room to watch TV! Ling Yueyue, on the other hand, went upstairs by herself to review her studies!
So many things happened lately, and she hadn’t been to school in a long time, so she had fallen behind in her studies. In the past few days, she’d borrowed notes from her best friend, Ye Anxin, and was reviewing and self-studying at home!
Ling Yueyue switched on the lamp and looked at her notes very intently! She reviewed for quite a while but only managed to get through half of it.
Perhaps due to being pregnant, her waist felt a bit uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so Ling Yueyue stood up, walked back and forth in the room to stretch a bit, and then continued her review!
Around nine o’clock, Huo Junmo returned to the room, saw her sitting at the desk looking at something, and walked over quietly to have a look, asking softly, "Reviewing your studies?"
Without lifting her head, Ling Yueyue continued to review while replying, "Yeah! It’s been so busy lately, I missed a lot of classes. If I don’t study hard now, what if I fail!"
Huo Junmo curved his lips, his big hand covered the notes on the desk, and he said softly, "It’s already nine, time to rest! Review tomorrow! Anyway, you’re resigning tomorrow, and after that, you’ll have all the time you need to study every day! Staying up late isn’t good for a woman’s skin!"
"Mm!" Ling Yueyue nodded obediently without protest!
She knew her current situation, pregnant and not suited to staying up late! Besides, there were so many notes, she couldn’t get through them all at once!
Rather than forcing herself to cram all this information, it was better to take it step by step! As they say, you can’t get fat overnight, right?
Ling Yueyue rubbed her eyes and moved her somewhat stiff neck!
Just as she was about to get up, Huo Junmo’s warm hand suddenly touched her neck, gently and rhythmically rubbing and kneading!
Huo Junmo asked softly, "Does this feel a little more comfortable?"
"Mm!" Ling Yueyue was a little caught off guard! After all, this was the most intimate gesture between them since that night!
Feeling the warmth from Huo Junmo’s palm, Ling Yueyue felt a warmth spreading through her neck, flowing through her blood to the rest of her body! Her once calm heart was now rippling with gentle waves.
Huo Junmo said nothing, just continued to gently massage her!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat ambiguous!
After a while, Huo Junmo withdrew his hand, "Feeling better now?"
Ling Yueyue moved her neck, feeling that after his massage, her previously aching neck was completely better!
Ling Yueyue grinned, "Much better! I didn’t expect you to be so skilled! It’s as if you’ve had professional training!"
Huo Junmo spoke as if it was nothing, "Sisi was a bookworm, she loved to read and would always lose track of time! When her neck got sore, I’d give her a massage, and over time, I got the hang of it! I haven’t done it in five years, so I’m a bit rusty! Looks like I need more practice!"
"...!" Hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue’s expression stiffened a bit.
Sisi! She heard this name at her wedding when Nan Family mentioned it! Seems like she was Tiantian’s birth mother! Meaning, she was Huo Junmo’s ex-wife?
It seems that even though Sisi died five years ago, Huo Junmo never truly forgot her!
Although Ling Yueyue had never witnessed their love, it wasn’t hard to tell from Huo Junmo’s words that he and Sisi must have been deeply in love!
If Sisi hadn’t died, they would probably still be a very loving couple now!
Even knowing that Huo Junmo hadn’t forgotten this woman named Sisi, Ling Yueyue didn’t feel jealous or sad!
She wasn’t that petty; she wouldn’t be jealous over someone who had passed away! Although Huo Junmo still had a place for her in his heart, she believed that one day, Huo Junmo would fall in love with her, with only her in his heart!
Ling Yueyue didn’t continue with the previous topic, stood up and smiled at Huo Junmo, "I’m going to take a shower first!"
As Huo Junmo nodded, Ling Yueyue went straight into the bathroom.
Not long after, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Huo Junmo glanced at the tightly closed bathroom door and was about to leave when Ling Yueyue’s phone on the desk suddenly rang loudly.
Huo Junmo glanced down at the caller ID! Seeing that the call was from Ling’s father, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t reach out to pick up the phone. Instead, he sat down on the chair next to the desk.
After ringing for a while and no one answering, the call automatically ended!
After a short while, it rang again!
This repeated five times before it finally fell silent!
Huo Junmo leaned back against the chair, his long fingers rhythmically tapping on the desktop, his deep eyes continuously watching Ling Yueyue’s phone, seemingly lost in thought!
After a short while, the bathroom door opened!
Ling Yueyue emerged with her hair still dripping, wrapped in a bath towel.
Seeing Huo Junmo staring blankly at her phone, Ling Yueyue didn’t mind, she continued drying her hair with a towel while approaching him, "I’m done showering, you can go now!"
"Mm!" Huo Junmo nodded, stood up, took off his jacket and hung it up, then walked to the bathroom door. Suddenly, he stopped, turned to Ling Yueyue and said lightly, "Your phone rang earlier. I glanced at the caller ID, and it seemed like the call was from your father!"
"...!" At these words, a flash of panic was evident on Ling Yueyue’s face.
Seeing her expression, Huo Junmo smirked and said, "But I didn’t answer! Phones are personal items after all, and without your permission, I wouldn’t touch it!" With that, he went into the bathroom and locked the door from the inside.
Listening to the door closing, Ling Yueyue was furious, picked up her phone, intending to call Ling’s father back. But just as she dialed, she immediately hung up!
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yueyue ultimately decided to turn off her phone!
