One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 675 - 673: Bloody Wound

Huo Junting knew she wasn’t joking, so his expression became more serious, "What exactly do you want to say?"Yuan Yumeng swallowed her saliva, picked up the water on the table and took a sip, "What I mean is... Since Secretary Xu is interested in you, you could try getting in touch with her, maybe you’ll find true love!"

With a "bang"——

the cup in Huo Junting’s hand suddenly splashed water everywhere, because he had used too much force.

Yuan Yumeng was a little startled by him, "B-brother, what’s wrong with you?"

Did she say something wrong just now? Wasn’t she speaking out of goodwill?

Huo Junting almost threw the cup to pieces, "Yuan Yumeng, do you know a certain saying?"

"What saying?"

"Do not impose on others what you do not desire yourself——"

"..." What does he mean by this? Yuan Yumeng was puzzled.

Huo Junting looked at the girl, "Is it because you found someone you like, you think others should be the same?"

"I-I didn’t mean that." Yuan Yumeng was already confused, she had just said it casually, why was he so agitated?

"Then what do you mean!" The man’s voice was much louder, attracting other guests to look their way.

For a moment, Yuan Yumeng couldn’t express herself clearly, "I just thought... maybe the feelings you had with Yuan Yuqi left some kind of shadow on you, healing the emotional wounds from the last relationship by quickly starting a new one. Since there’s someone around you that you know well, why not give it a try?"

"Know well?" Huo Junting raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the girl with an almost imperceptible teasing glance, "If you talk about knowing well, we’ve known each other since childhood, isn’t that more knowing well?"

"..."

Yuan Yumeng felt like she was chatting with an alien. Was it that she expressed herself unclearly, or was his thinking just too eccentric?

Afterwards, the two of them stared at each other in silence for a while, the atmosphere particularly tense, even the waiters felt it and left quickly after serving the dishes.

Luckily, the food eased the tension a bit, Yuan Yumeng didn’t want to get angry with him for the moment, picked up the chopsticks and placed a piece of rice cake in her bowl, seeing that he didn’t move, she stammered, "Do-don’t you like it?"

Huo Junting had never reacted this way to any other woman, really virtually anger to death, even though Yuan Yuqi deceived him back then, in the end he could laugh it off unconcerned.

At first, he didn’t understand this feeling, always felt strange, being too lenient to a woman who lied.

But he later realized, it was actually quite normal for him, because he didn’t care about Yuan Yuqi, so naturally he wouldn’t have much emotional response to her——

But the girl in front of him was different, she could anger him to no end with just any casual remark.

The man suddenly stood up, with a sullen face said, "I’m leaving first, I have to get back to the company, you take a cab back later, did you bring money?"

Yuan Yumeng was really angry, coldly responded, "Brother, there’s Alipay now."

"..." Huo Junting saw her disinterested look, steeling his heart, he walked away directly.

Yuan Yumeng watched his departing back, no longer in the mood to eat, too angry to eat more, took a deep breath, and took out her phone intending to call Lin Zheng, but then thinking about Lin Zheng’s natural gossiping habit, she quickly dismissed the idea.

After thinking for a bit, she decided to contact Ye Hao!

Although he was an online friend, she felt Ye Hao was much more reliable than Lin Zheng.

Over the past year, they hadn’t chatted much, sometimes she would get an immediate reply upon messaging him, other times she had to wait a day or two——

Today she was quite lucky, as soon as she sent an emoji, she got a reply back, with the same emoji.

Yuan Yumeng: "There you are!"

Ye Hao: "Hmm, what’s up?"

Yuan Yumeng: "I have something I’d like to ask for your advice on."

Ye Hao: "Go ahead."

Yuan Yumeng: "Do you guys really dislike it when someone tries to set you up?"

Ye Hao: "..."

Yuan Yumeng: "Oh come on, don’t just send ellipses!"

Ye Hao: "No swearing."

Yuan Yumeng was instantly bewildered, this tone sounded a little familiar——

Ye Hao: "What I mean is... it’s not nice for girls to swear, say less of that, or it might become a habit."

Yuan Yumeng: "... Oh, you haven’t answered me yet!"

Ye Hao: "I don’t know, don’t ask me such questions."

Yuan Yumeng: "You’re a guy, just tell me how you see it, I’ll use it as a reference."

Ye Hao: "My thought is if they like it, they won’t resist."

Yuan Yumeng seemed to have some clues now, the fact that Huo Junting got so angry indicated he didn’t actually like that Secretary Xu, Xu Jingya——

Out of nowhere, she actually remembered the other person’s name.

Ye Hao: "Any other questions?"

Yuan Yumeng: "Oh no, thank you! When are you coming to Hong Kong again, I’ll treat you to a meal."

Ye Hao: "Alright, logging off now."

Yuan Yumeng: "Hmm."

After chatting with Ye Hao, Yuan Yumeng felt much better, she suddenly had an appetite looking at the food on the table, and finished everything by herself before getting up to head back.

As soon as she walked in the door, she saw Lin Zheng walking towards her with a smile, "How’s it going? Did you get everything done?"

Yuan Yumeng knew what he was concerned about, glanced at him with the corner of her eye, and dragged him upstairs.

Sister-in-law Zhang had long been steadfast in her loyalty to Huo Junting, she didn’t want anyone eavesdropping at the walls——

Once they were in the room, Yuan Yumeng dared to speak, "Couldn’t get it done, the divorce stamp at the civil affairs bureau wasn’t there today, have to go again tomorrow."

"Ah!" Lin Zheng looked a bit disappointed, "You two are really quite unlucky, gotta run twice just to divorce."

Yuan Yumeng nodded helplessly, "Exactly."

"Even more annoying, he said he’d take me out to eat, but ended up leaving by himself, leaving me alone at the restaurant, I ended up eating the portion of two people, now I’m almost bursting——"

Lin Zheng seemed slightly horrified, "You’ll get fat to death if you eat like that, eat less, a girl’s figure is important."

"Pfft! Shallow." Yuan Yumeng scolded him.

Lin Zheng snorted, "It’s true! I’m not the only one who’s shallow, it’s like that for everyone, isn’t it? Including you."

"No, it’s not!" Yuan Yumeng suddenly turned very serious, "I once saw someone who didn’t care about appearances."

"Who?" Lin Zheng didn’t believe it, "Some idiot?"

"..."

Yuan Yumeng was instantly infuriated, and gave Lin Zheng a bear paw slap on his chest, "Don’t say that, if you say another word I’ll take it seriously and break off with you!"

Lin Zheng had never seen her so angry, "Hey! Yuan Yumeng, are you serious? You want to break up with me just for someone I’ve never even heard you mention."

Yuan Yumeng felt her heart ache, the wounds she thought had healed were now reopened, still bleeding raw.
