Chapter 676 - 674: The Little Girl Just Has Too Much Pride
Lin Zheng noticed her expression carrying some sadness, drastically different from before, "Meng Meng, what’s wrong with you again?""Nothing really!" Yuan Yumeng immediately snapped back, "Hey! I was just saying, why are you so tense!"
"Alright, stop lingering in my room, hurry up, men and women shouldn’t be too close!"
Lin Zheng rolled his eyes secretly, "Do you see me as a man? Haven’t you always thought I was a woman?"
Yuan Yumeng burst into laughter, "Stop bantering with me, I find you annoying."
Lin Zheng made an utterly heartbroken expression, "You used to say I was cute and interesting, and now you find me annoying. You women really... change your minds too easily, hmph! I don’t care to stay here! I’m leaving, I’m leaving now."
Just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned back, "You and Handsome Huo really decided to divorce? No room for reconciliation?"
"...Yes, that’s right!" Yuan Yumeng said with a smirk, "Besides, I don’t want to always occupy the position of Mrs. Huo, so that those women around him don’t lose their survival goals."
Lin Zheng laughed, "Meng Meng! Why do I feel there’s a lot of jealousy in your words?"
Yuan Yumeng swung her hand to hit, "Get lost!"
——
It quickly became dinner time, Yuan Yumeng and Lin Zheng were sitting in the dining room, while Sister-in-law Zhang occasionally glanced at the clock on the wall, "How come the gentleman hasn’t returned yet? He’s always been quite punctual for dinner as long as he’s in Hong Kong during this period!"
"...Sister-in-law Zhang, how about I call him? Don’t worry, perhaps something delayed him," Yuan Yumeng took out her phone, ready to call Huo Junting.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang first, displaying it was indeed Huo Junting.
She immediately answered, "B-brother."
"Yes, it’s me." There was a hint of intoxication in Huo Junting’s deep voice, "I have dinner engagements tonight and won’t be back for dinner. Please inform Sister-in-law Zhang for me."
"Oh, alright—" Yuan Yumeng instinctively fiddled with her chopsticks, "Is that all?"
Inform Sister-in-law Zhang?
Why didn’t he inform her?
"Uh, what more do you want!" The tone on the other side suddenly turned aggressive.
Yuan Yumeng’s short-lived calmness intensified again, "Nothing, goodbye."
Then she placed the phone down with a "pop," staring at the bowl of rice in front of her, "He has engagements tonight, won’t be back, let’s eat!"
Though her voice was low, Lin Zheng and Sister-in-law Zhang both sensed something unusual, she was... throwing a tantrum!
Lin Zheng, adept at reading faces and managing situations, smiled and placed a piece of sweet and sour spare rib into Yuan Yumeng’s bowl, "Eat this, its sour-sweet taste suits your current mood. Meng Meng, I’ve always thought you were quite clever, but how come you’re being silly in certain matters."
"..." Yuan Yumeng glanced up at him, feeling nakedly exposed for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, "So many delicious dishes, yet can’t silence your mouth, start eating."
Lin Zheng raised an eyebrow, continuing to look at her, swaying his head as he spoke, "Little girl has too strong a self-esteem."
Yuan Yumeng wasn’t dumb or foolish, she even had a relatively shrewd mind; she understood what Lin Zheng meant, but... she didn’t want to dwell too deeply on it, didn’t want to understand too much.
This marriage started in a blur, and she wished it could end in a blur. As for those untold stories, or those that may never be uncovered, let them go with the wind!
In the future, she still has a long road, plenty of scenery.
