One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 562 - 560 Past Dreams (15)

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Sister-in-law Zhang, who heard the noise, came out of the room and approached the man. Having been awakened, she was yawning with a coat thrown over her shoulders, "Sir, you finally returned, madam has been waiting for you for several hours."These words instantly dispelled Huo Junting’s intention to knock on the door, "Really?"

He wasn’t sure if she had fallen asleep, but still went to the window to talk with Sister-in-law Zhang, "Was she angry later on?"

"Couldn’t tell." Sister-in-law Zhang recalled, "She seemed like nothing was wrong, ate and then went upstairs to rest, she should be asleep by now."

"Sir, I really can’t bear to watch any longer, clearly you said you would be back today, why did you come back so late?"

At this moment, the man’s heart was also in a state of desolation, "Something just came up, Sister-in-law Zhang, you should go to sleep!"

Looking at these two young people, Sister-in-law Zhang sometimes wished she could just take a red string and tie them together to pull them closer—

"Ah! Sir, you should rest early too."

"Alright—"

Sister-in-law Zhang watched the man’s solitary departing figure with a vague sense of heartache.

...

The next morning, Yuan Yumeng got up at eight o’clock, went downstairs, and went to the dining room to have breakfast, as usual.

As soon as Sister-in-law Zhang saw her, she greeted her with a smile, "Madam, today we have your favorite century egg and lean meat porridge, it’s still hot! Hurry up and eat!"

"Thank you!"

Yuan Yumeng smiled and accepted the bowl from Sister-in-law Zhang, took the newspaper beside her, and as usual, the entertainment section was placed on the front page.

She casually glanced over its contents and then her hand directly dropped the bowl onto the table!

"Madam, what’s wrong?"

Sister-in-law Zhang secretly rejoiced upon seeing this; after watching for so long, there was finally a reaction, it seemed Mr. Huo still stood a chance.

Yuan Yumeng didn’t answer, only tightly gripping the newspaper, staring at the large headline on it: [Regarding the Huo Group’s Illegitimate Child]

Furthermore, there was a photo taken of Huo Junting and a woman getting out of a car one after another, and Yuan Yumeng recognized at a glance, that woman was Yuan Yuqi—

Huo Junting and Yuan Yuqi already have a child?

Her heart felt as if it was being cut open, a knife relentlessly slicing over it. It wasn’t jealousy, just anger; she didn’t understand why he would marry her if he and Yuan Yuqi already had a child.

He could mess around with other women and she could overlook it, but that person was her sister...

Previously Yuan Yuqi was the one at fault, she had scolded and blamed her, so when Huo Junting proposed marriage afterward, she didn’t feel uneasy.

But now, things were different. If there’s a child between them, she, as an elder sister, was indeed wrong.

Was she too selfish, for the sake of her goal, to label an innocent child as an illegitimate child?

At this moment, Yuan Yumeng immediately took out her phone to call Huo Junting, for the first time in two years she actively called him—

"Hello!"

The man’s low voice came through the phone waves, sounding very magnetic.

"Huo Junting, I want to talk with you tonight, no matter how late, I will wait for you!"

"..."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for the man’s reaction, she directly hung up the phone, her hand holding the newspaper trembling slightly.

...

Yesterday he had already stood her up; today, he dared not do so, he arranged everything early, stepping into the house punctually at six o’clock in the evening.

Sister-in-law Zhang was overjoyed to see him return, and approached saying, "Sir, this time madam is finally jealous, she hasn’t been in a good mood since she looked at the newspaper this morning, she didn’t even have lunch!"

"She just locked herself in the room, when I went in she drove me out... oh! What a big temper she has! The bigger the temper, the more it shows she cares, so be sure to comfort her later."

After hearing Sister-in-law Zhang’s words, Huo Junting felt puzzled, "What news?"

Recently, he hadn’t allowed those gossip and entertainment reports to cover anything about him.
