Chapter 534 - 532: Yuan Xiaopang’s Love (29)
Yuan Yumeng nearly choked on her own spit, "That’s because, because... Yuan Yuqi is cuter, more sensible, and more lovable than me. My parents are very kind-hearted, they might have always felt sorry for her growing up in the orphanage, so they try to be kinder to her.""I, being their biological daughter, naturally fall a little short."
She truly didn’t expect that he would notice this.
"Anyway, I still have things to do so I’ll leave first, you should head back early too! It’s getting late, hehe!"
Huo Junting looked at that round face, a dark gleam flashed in his eyes, her anxious demeanor and the series of unconscious actions, like the shifting gaze and constantly touching her nose, only reflected one issue—lying.
Or hiding something from him.
Yuan Yumeng was afraid the man would offer to take her back, so she turned and ran away right after speaking, as if the handsome man behind her was a demon or ghost.
Huo Junting found her behavior more and more suspicious, just then his phone rang, and seeing the caller ID, he smiled knowingly, "It’s been a long time since the director contacted you."
"Little Mo Mo, how have you been lately?"
"Mm, good, I was just about to call you, and here you are calling me, seems like we’re really connected—"
The director on the other end laughed happily, "I don’t approach anyone without a reason, I want to invite you to visit the orphanage this weekend, the government is promoting us lately, hopefully attracting more support. Over the years, you’ve donated so much to the orphanage, as a great benefactor you must attend, reporters want to interview you."
"I... would rather pass!" Huo Junting refused: "You know I never like..."
"Mo Mo, please don’t turn me down, it’s been ages since we gathered, and it’s not just you, I’ve also contacted many of the children who were adopted at that time, consider it a rare reunion dinner. Little Fatty will also be there, don’t you want to see her? You two were the closest back then, I remember Little Fatty always said she wanted to marry you when she grew up."
"If she’s still unmarried and you don’t have a girlfriend, you could give it a try!"
Huo Junting wanted to say, actually he had tried dating "Little Fatty" and found time really changes a person—
"Director, are you sure the family that adopted Little Fatty named her Yuan Yuqi?"
"Yes! Those parents were very compassionate, they fell for Little Fatty at first sight, and the name was directly given in the orphanage."
Huo Junting sighed, "Director, I understand, I’ll see about this weekend, if I don’t have any important matters I’ll come over, but I’d like to skip the interview, just want to see everybody."
"Great—"
After hanging up, Huo Junting gripped the railing beside him tightly.
For some reason, he now had a strong premonition.
Every time he met her, he always felt she was...
But, the director wouldn’t lie to him.
...
Yuan Yumeng returned to the place she rented, reached into her bag to find her keys but couldn’t find them after a long search...
Oh no, don’t tell me she lost the keys!
There’s a real possibility, she’s been out of sorts all day, and with so many stores in and out, who knows if she lost them.
If she couldn’t get in, she’d have to stay in a hotel, that would be wasting money.
She took out her phone, just about to call the landlady, and the originally tightly shut door suddenly opened from the inside—
Yuan Yumeng was instantly stunned and scared, could it be a thief?
She immediately stepped back a few paces, hands protecting her chest, watching as the door slowly opened fully...
"... Beau-Beautiful, what are you doing here?"
