"Okay, I understand!"
At that moment, back in the office, Lu Zhaoyang sneezed .
She looked at the time and decided to call her son to check things out .
"Yangyang, are you finished with your work?" Xuxu's young and innocent voice came through the speaker . "I'm at a dessert shop with Uncle Yunting, we're buying you a chocolate cake —"
The boy looked up at his tall uncle as he spoke . Abruptly, he realized something and put a hand over his mouth . Regret flashed in his eyes .
He had told his mother about their surprise by accident! Oh no!
"Thank you dear . Listen to Uncle Yunting and don't leave his side . "
Lu Zhaoyang smiled weakly . No wonder they were not back yet .
"I will!" Xuxu ended the call and pulled at Huo Yunting's pants despondently . "Uncle, how about we change to strawberry flavour?"
Huo Yunting sympathized with his conundrum . He picked the boy up and chuckled at his proposed solution .
"Don't worry, we'll buy both . "
…
Lu Zhaoyang finally got off from work at seven in the evening . Huo Yunting had called her earlier to inform her that he was sending Xuxu straight to his house!
She had no choice but to go to his place .
Huo Yunting had invited them for dinner before .

However, she had slipped away before they entered the house last time .
As she drove her way to his mansion, a bright crescent moon rose slowly to the starry night sky .
The gate to the mansion opened up to her . She honked to signal them before she parked her car .
"Yangyang! Yangyang is here!"
The little boy dashed out of the house to greet his mother .
She stepped out of her car and smiled at her son . The little boy's happiness was like a balm to her scars from work .
Huo Yunting stepped out of the house in plain clothes . He watched as Lu Zhaoyang greeted her son with a bright smile .

If only she smiles at me like that too, he wondered to himself .
"Xuxu, say goodbye to Uncle Huo, we have to go now . " She noticed that her son was wearing a different set of clothes and not the one that he wore out of the house that morning .
"Yangyang, we're waiting for you to have dinner together!" Xuxu pulled at her hand like a spoiled child . "Let's go!"
Do you really think we can leave after having dinner with Huo Yunting?
My dear Xuxu, you're too naive!
Lu Zhaoyang could see how meticulous Huo Yunting had planned for this . She would probably have to stay in his house for the night .
"Are you really so scared of me?" Huo Yunting walked to them leisurely . "Come on in . Dinner is served, and I've switched all the servants . "
" . . . "

Lu Zhaoyang pursed her lips and looked at him as she considered her options .
Since he had prepared everything so elaborately, it would be unreasonable and even arrogant of her to reject his offer .
The three of them entered the house together . There was a medium-sized dining table in the dining room .
The table was slightly spacious for two but a cozy fit for a family of three . Dinner had a very homey feeling .
Lu Zhaoyang relaxed when she noticed how excited Xuxu was at dinner and treated Huo Yunting more gently than usual .
When the time felt right, Huo Yunting said, "I've promised your son that I will teach him swimming . Why don't you stay here for the night?"
Swimming?
Lu Zhaoyang looked to her son, who nodded solemnly . The boy looked hopeful but also nervous, afraid that his mother would not agree to the arrangement .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
