Chapter 433: 433
“What can I do… to make you… happy?”
Out of the blue, in their pitch black bedroom, Lu Zhaoyang whispered those words ever so quietly .
He heard every single word .
“Huo Yunting…”
She rubbed her forehead against his chest and slid closer to him . “I’m sorry…”
Huo Yunting breathed heavily as his muscles stiffened . He convinced himself not to push her away when he felt certain that she was still asleep .
Nevertheless, he was very tempted to wake her up in a more intimate way .
Lu Zhaoyang snuggled closer but did not move after that . She slept soundly by his side .
Huo Yunting, however, barely closed his eyes that night . He could barely control his urge to do her!
Early next morning, when Lu Zhaoyang woke up and found herself in the man’s arms, she nearly choked .
Huo Yunting was definitely not in the mood for such intimacy last night .
Therefore…
Was she the one who willingly initiated it?
Judging from his shallow, even breathing, he must still be asleep .
Lu Zhaoyang dared not move . Since she did not have to prepare breakfast at this place, she could only stare at the ceiling and remain in bed .
A quarter of an hour later, she felt stiff all over . She pursed her lips and very, very slowly slid out of his arms…
Suddenly, his arm around her waist was gone .

“Just leave if you want . ” Huo Yunting said sleepily .
Where did he think she was going?
Lu Zhaoyang ignored him and went to the washroom .
After she had freshened up and got dressed, she asked quietly, “Are you having breakfast?”
“No . ” He sounded wide awake by then .
“Then do continue with your sleep . ” She left and made her way downstairs .
Huo Yunting did not appear for the rest of the morning, but she chose not to disturb him .
“Ma’am, it’s noon already, is the master up yet?” A maid asked Lu Zhaoyang timidly .

“Why don’t you go check on him?” If she went herself, Huo Yunting might start a round of bickering with her .
“Alright . ”
Lu Zhaoyang lied back on the sofa and noted the weather outside .
It was wonderful with clear skies and a beaming sun . She felt like going outdoors…
It would be even better if she could visit Aunt Qiu .
Huo Yunting finally came downstairs to have lunch . In order to avoid ruining his appetite, Lu Zhaoyang waited until he was done with his meal before approaching him .
Huo Yunting focused on his computer screen when he noticed her, but he only gave her a brief glance of acknowledgement .
Lu Zhaoyang hesitated for a few moments before finally gathering enough courage to speak . “Can you give me the address of Aunt Qiu’s cemetery? I’d like to visit her . ”

Huo Yunting’s lips thinned . He stayed quiet for a long time before he finally grabbed a post-it note, scribbled something on it, and passed the note to her .
“Thank you, Have a good rest today . I will be working tomorrow so I won’t be coming back . Call me if there’s anything . ”
She held the note tightly in her fingers and turned to leave .
Huo Yunting watched her walk out of his study . He maintained his gaze at the door long after she shut it behind her as he wallowed in his own thoughts .
Lu Zhaoyang bought a bouquet of lilies and went to a first-rate cemetery in the outskirts of the city .
She looked at the freshly made tombstone, which had a black-and-white photo of Qiu Ran when she was alive .
Lu Zhaoyang bent down and put down the flowers carefully before the tombstone . Then, she bowed deeply three times .
“Aunt, I may not be able to follow your wish and leave Huo Yunting, but I will try my best to look after him . Please… rest in peace . ”
The only thing she could do for him now was to take care of mundane necessities like this while he took his time to recuperate .
