Chapter 472
“Then…” She stopped herself just in time as she thought better of asking if he was still interested in catching Lu Bai . “Enjoy your tea . ”
It was better that she kept Lu Bai’s whereabouts a secret .
As Lu Zhaoyang went in the washroom to remove her makeup, Huo Chen picked up his cup of tea and took in his surroundings .
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zhaoyang re-appeared without her makeup and also in plain indoor clothes .
“Huo Yunting’s mother passed away recently, did you know?” She went to him and sat down on a single-seated sofa .
“Yes . I have not had time to visit her grave due to my duties at work . ”
“Huo Yunting is badly affected by it,” she spoke softly but with a grim expression . “His mood has taken a dive recently . ”
“What about you?”
He was more concerned about her mental health .
He had heard of Aunt Qiu’s passing and the scandal within his family .
The way Yunting made a show during his father’s wedding anniversary had thoroughly embarrassed the Huo family within the upper society circle .
“Me?”
Lu Zhaoyang smiled with self-mockery . How could she be any better?
Once, she would have been happy to see Huo Yunting in a bad mood .
However, the man never seemed to be bothered in the past .
He always had an unreadable smile on his face and an air of nonchalance, as though everything was under his control .
Aunt Qiu’s passing was out of his control . It was a heavy blow to him .

Lu Zhaoyang admitted to herself that she was too soft-hearted to take pleasure in his misfortune .
Beside, she owed him a lot more now…
The thought of Huo Yunting made her feel guilty for having Huo Chen here .
“You must be out on duty . I shall not delay you further . ”
The message was clear to Huo Chen .
“Alright . Remember to eat your meals and have enough rest . ”
Huo Chen was not a fool . Of course he understood her meaning . He nearly lost grip of his tea cup because of his aching heart .
He put down his cup and sighed softly . “You can call whenever you feel down . ”

He took out a white name card that he had prepared earlier and placed it on the tea table .
“Don’t worry about Yunting . He will get through this . ”
“Alright, thank you . ”
Lu Zhaoyang took the card and walked to the door with him .
Huo Chen had just opened the door when his body turned rigid .
“Yunting . ”
Lu Zhaoyang was standing beside Huo Chen when she felt herself being pulled to Huo Yunting’s side .
“I see that you are in my wife’s apartment late at night . Do military officers behave this way?”

Huo Yunting had one arm firmly around Lu Zhaoyang’s waist as he glared at Huo Chen .
“Huo Yunting, we didn’t do anything, there is no reason to be jealous at all!”
Lu Zhaoyang looked up at him and explained . She did not want the relationship between these two men to be further strained because of her .
However, the arm around her waist held her back .
“You can look for me instead . I don’t think there is any more unfinished business between you two . ” Huo Yunting’s eyes narrowed in warning . “Are you done here?”
Huo Chen’s anger spiked because of his attitude . He lashed back in equal measure, “Since she is your wife, you are responsible for looking after her . She is upset and yet you were nowhere to be seen . I wonder if you are capable of taking care of her! If you’re not, then why continue this union?”
“We are not obligated to report our daily affairs to you . Lu Zhaoyang is my wife, for now and forevermore . You have no business here!”
