“That’s not really it . ”
Huo Junyu looked down with a confused expression .
“Guys and girls tend to have different preferences . ”
“Is that right?”
Mo Ning could tell that there was more to it than he was willing to divulge, but she was not interested in that .
To her surprise, Huo Junyu gave a meaningful smile and added, “In any case, she is of the Huo family . If anyone tries to bully or use her, I will not let it slide . ”
Mo Ning smiled back in response .
Was that a warning for her to be sincere toward Huo Run?
What a paranoid person .
Mo Ning looked around the event hall and did not see Huo Yunting or Lu Zhaoyang . “Don’t worry, I promise that I will do any harm toward her . ”
Huo Run was never the target .
Abruptly, Yan Sinian added playfully, “My baby is only interested in my body . ”
He turned to look at Mo Ning and smiled . “Am I right?”
Mo Ning striked an invisible middle finger to him in her mind but felt a little concerned .
Did Yan Sinian figure out her real intention?
What role did he intend to play that evening?
She must tread carefully .
“I’m going to the washroom . ”
She got up and went in the direction of the washroom, but picked up a glass of red wine along the way instead before disappearing into the crowd .
Huo Run saw Mo Ning leave from afar while she was entertaining a few other young ladies and pursed her lips .
Someone pulled at her sleeve and asked curiously, “Huo Run, is that your boyfriend?”
Huo Run’s cheeks turned red instantly .
“No . ”
“Are you lying?” The other young lady chuckled but added regretfully, “You had your eyes on him ever since he arrived, so I know you like him very much . Sigh, I would have approached him immediately if you were not interested in him . By the way, what’s his name?”
“Mo Ning,” Huo Run replied shyly .
“What a nice name . Why are you blushing so much?”
As the young ladies overwhelmed Huo Run with questions, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction .
The thought of the graceful young man made her blush even more . When she unintentionally revealed that the hairpin she was wearing was a gift from Mo Ning, the girls around her felt even more thrilled to know more .
Unbeknownst to Huo Run, her mother saw what was happening .
She frowned slightly . “Runrun is only eighteen years old . How can she have a boyfriend now?”
A long arm reached over her waist, accompanied by a man’s deep voice . “Let her be . ”
Lu Zhaoyang looked at the man and saw his cold and emotionless eyes . She said by way of advice, “Huo Yunting, Runrun had nothing to do with what happened back then . She is innocent . It is because of us that Runrun was forced to leave her parents . No matter how much love we give her, we will never be able to replace her real parents, so don’t be so hard on her . ”
“Innocent?”
Huo Yunting chuckled flatly and said no more .
Throughout the years since their daughter’s abduction, he had never stopped searching for her and for Huo Run’s real parents .
However, his search had yielded no results .
“Huo Run’s family name is Huo, but she will never be my daughter . ”
“I know . ”
Lu Zhaoyang looked into the distance and recalled the tender face of her beloved baby girl .
