Chapter 669 - 667: Haven’t Forgotten Ye Zheng
Yuan Yumeng thought he didn’t hear her, so she raised her voice a bit and shouted, "Big brother, I’m back!"Huo Junting forced himself to stay calm for a while before turning around with a stern face, "Hmm, how have you been?"
She looks even more beautiful than when she left. At that time, although she was also thin, she seemed lifeless, giving off an unhealthy vibe.
But now, she is slim, has light makeup on her face, her long black hair is tied up behind her head, wearing simple casual clothes, exuding youthful energy that hits him in the face.
She has gained a bit of weight but not the kind of fat she had before; just a bit of plumpness on her cheeks.
Who made her gain weight?
Was it that man?
Thinking of this, Huo Junting felt a turmoil of discomfort in his heart, and his expression turned even colder. Yuan Yumeng noticed he was angry, she smiled and walked into the study saying, "Big brother, I’m sorry! I only just told you about me and Lin Zheng now, but... we’re about to divorce!"
"Lin Zheng?" Huo Junting frowned, "Is that your boyfriend?"
The previous one was called Ye Zheng, now there’s Lin Zheng, does she have a particular fondness for men with the name "Zheng"?
Should he go find a master to change his name?
"You’re saying that since we’re about to divorce, you openly brought a man back and even brought him into the house, and I shouldn’t blame you, right?"
Huo Junting was extremely angry because she never considered his feelings from the beginning to the end. She assumed that since their marriage was about to end, bringing a man back was nothing.
Yuan Yumeng didn’t expect him to be so angry, she didn’t know what to say for a moment, smiling, she said, "Big brother, Sister-in-law Zhang asked me to call you down for breakfast. It’s a big spread, come down quickly!"
"Don’t change the subject with me." Junting extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, "Yuan Yumeng, is this really what you think?"
Yuan Yumeng: "..."
"Yes, I did think like this, but it seems I’m wrong!" Yuan Yumeng murmured, "A year ago, big brother said to be siblings, so we’ll be siblings! I think being siblings is quite good, and after a year, I truly consider you as a big brother. Now that I brought my boyfriend back for you to see, why are you suddenly so angry?"
"Moreover, you agreed to bring him back, didn’t you?"
Huo Junting’s expression was extremely unpleasant, feeling just like the bitterness of swallowing a yellow lotus, "... I’m sorry, I lost my temper just now. Alright, let’s go and have a look."
He wanted to see who this man was, who could make her fall for him in such a short time!
Yuan Yumeng said generously, "No problem, no problem, actually, I was also in the wrong in some respects. Thinking about it now, perhaps... it’s a bit inappropriate. But last night was special, we didn’t book a hotel in advance, today I’ll send him to stay at the hotel."
Huo Junting looked at her, "And what about you?"
"Of course we’ll stay in the hotel together!"
Junting’s heart clenched again, thinking he was out of his mind to suggest being siblings back then, what other big brother would be as aggrieved as he is?
"Forget it, there are many guest rooms at home, staying at a hotel would cost money, save your money!"
Suddenly coming out with this statement made Yuan Yumeng extremely puzzled. She secretly glanced at the man, finding it hard to believe these words came from his mouth, since she’s used to seeing someone who seemingly doesn’t regard money as money...
What is he now pretending to be, a good man who lives frugally!
But for her, it’s indifferent, everything depends on him, after all, he’s the host.
"Oh, okay." Yuan Yumeng responded softly.
The two walked side by side down the stairs, occasionally Junting could smell the sweet fragrance from the girl, softly penetrating every part of him, making him unable to resist the urge to hold her tightly—
To suppress this impulse, he had to say something, "What’s your plan next?"
"Uh, of course, I’ll find a job." Does this still need to be asked?
Junting’s steps suddenly paused, but quickly resumed stepping down the stairs, so Yuan Yumeng didn’t notice his change and continued speaking, "I’m planning to start with a good venture capital company to gain some experience. The previous job didn’t quite match my expertise, so I wasn’t really interested."
"And after you find a satisfying job?" Junting asked again, his gaze always directed forward, not daring to look at her.
Yuan Yumeng suddenly laughed, "Big brother, your question seems quite unqualified. After graduation, for sure I’ll find a job, then it’s dating, and then surely getting married and having children! Followed by the daily life of rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, until growing old with the one you love, it’s done!"
"Is it just like that?" He didn’t expect the life she wanted to be so simple.
"Yeah!" Yuan Yumeng smiled, "Don’t you think it’s like that?"
They have the same experiences, both grew up in an orphanage, she always thought his thoughts would be the same as hers!
No matter how high the status or how much wealth is acquired, the heart inside the chest always hopes for the simplest, most ordinary life—
Junting smiled but said nothing.
He indeed wanted such a life, but it had to include her; otherwise, it wouldn’t be complete.
These words he certainly would not say in front of her, for fear of scaring her.
...
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance to the dining room, and they walked in together.
Junting saw a handsome man sitting inside, wearing a set of sportswear, appearing quite young, his facial contours cold yet with a touch of sharpness, with elegance and grace in every move.
If you don’t look at that face but only at the temperament, he really resembles that Ye Zheng a lot.
He glanced at the little girl, realizing she still hasn’t forgotten Ye Zheng; hence, she chose a boyfriend who resembles him greatly.
Yuan Yumeng smiled and walked over. As Lin Zheng saw her, he immediately stood up, his gaze naturally turning to Junting, a brightness flashing through his eyes but fleeting.
"Lin Zheng, let me introduce you, this is my... big brother, Huo Junting."
"Big brother, this is my boyfriend, Lin Zheng."
Such an introduction made her somewhat uncomfortable, but she knew they needed to finish the formalities soon, or she’d feel guilty.
Lin Zheng smiled politely and extended his hand, "Mr. Huo, hello, I often hear Yumeng mention you."
"Really?" Junting couldn’t force a smile, while shaking hands with the man he wished he could give him a shoulder throw, "But I’ve never heard her mention Mr. Lin."
Men looking at men are always more direct than women looking at men, at this moment Lin Zheng felt the jealousy from the extremely outstanding man in both appearance and manner before him.
He smiled and put his arm around Yuan Yumeng’s shoulder, pretending intimacy, "Oh, perhaps Yumeng is too shy."
Junting watched the hand on the girl’s shoulder, wishing he could chop it off.
