Chapter 149
Lu, while squatting behind the bushes, could not help but shudder at the way Huo Yunting greeted his uncle .
Why is Huo Yunting calling him by his name?
Well, technically, their ages are only 4 years apart . Huo Yunting is 25 while Chen is 29, they acted pretty closely as if brothers . So it—somehow makes sense for Huo Yunting to call his uncle by his name directly?
Seems right…judging from that sincere smile on Huo Yunting's face . He seems to be truly glad of Chen's reappearance . But then— that's gonna make things harder—what if my identity gets revealed? Surely Huo Yunting will introduce me to Chen as his sister…
Lu pinched her hands restlessly thinking so .
"I guess you still get something in the ward, look at you," he glanced at Chen, "You look fairer than before . That's great . "
"I rather to have never entered the ward in the first place…"
Chen was right . If he had never fallen into coma, he and Yang would have already been engaged and their first child would be most probably sprinting in this garden .
The fantasy brought a smile on Chen's face .
"I knew you would not die so easily . The government and their bullcrap . I would not believe it as long as I see no dead body in front of me . " That was when Huo Yunting gave a playful punch at Chen's chest, "So, when do we start?"
"Anytime, brother . " Chen smiled warmly, "How's our family? You're still the same with your stepmother?"
"Who the hell cares about that old witch? That infidel shall never be blessed . What should I do? Greet her every morning smiling with a tray of tea like Cinderella? It's the same as before, yet…"
His announcement halted, as he recalled the Lu's expression .

Chen remained anticipated for the following syllable .
" . . . it's getting complicated…" He concluded .
The hell do you mean by that?!
Lu Zhaoyang nearly snapped a twig as she peeked through the gaps .
Don't tell me…you've already know about Chen and I?
Oh no…

Lu's heart raced as she remembered the way she responded to the devil's inquiry regarding his uncle — it was a giveaway…
"It's been years, Yunting…" Chen replied, "All these years… there are things you are supposed to have let go now . Those plights you form in your head will one day bog you down . "
"Well, I'll have people to be bogged down along if I have to," said Huo Yunting gleefully, " . . . since technically now I am unrelated to Huo Zhenning . But, for you, I'll visit more often . "
"It's alright . I don't spend much time here . I have the military . "
"Oh right, I mean, yes, sir!" Huo Yunting saluted .
"Haha…"
Lu watched the two men strolling away as they chatted . Her body squatted still as a statue till the two men completely vanished in the other end of the garden . She got up, nearly a tripping over, as she wiped her tears away and put on her makeup again, before dragging her steps of depression back to the ballroom . Her shaking hands seized a glass on the tray and gargled the alcohol .

Sadly, it did not work .
Her heart remained wrenched .
She could see Huo Chen leading a swarm of crowd towards her way . She quickly hit the opposite direction across the long table of desserts, only to distance herself away from him .
It was not because she did not want to see him again . Quite the contrary, it was because of how needy she was on seeing him again that she might be unable to hold her feelings towards him in public .
Lu eventually hit the small group of business elites at one corner . Thunderbolt Corp . led a few collaborations before, so she had basically met all the business people .
"Oh, if it wasn't Secretary Lu . You don't look great, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine . Just a little flu . Thank you for your concern, President Yang . " She shook her head and courteously replied .
"Good to hear that . How about some drinks? I'll be looking forward to the following projects launched by your company . Cheers!"Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
