Chapter 185: I’m Leaving Huo Yunting Soon?!

“‘You’d rather’, you say. That means you have alternatives. I don’t mind if you go and seek them out instead.”

Facing him at work all day and then again in bed all night was exhausting, and she would do anything to skip the part at night.

“Oh, are we being so particular with words, now?” Huo Yunting studied her with renewed interest. He chuckled and said, “Alright, if it’s my mistake, I”ll change. My wife is the best, so I don’t need to find another woman.”

“You think that because you don’t meet enough ladies. You should go sleep with a few more, gather some experience, then maybe you’ll understand why affairs are so popular.”

“Encouraging your husband to have an affair — Ms Lu, you must be the first woman to do this.”

Lu Zhaoyang took the opportunity to slip upstairs as she added, “If you really need it, I can help you choose a few candidates. I’m sure there are many of them who are just lining up to be the third party.”

“…”

Huo Yunting’s lips twitched. For this alone, he must teach her a lesson tonight!

Lu Zhaoyang soon paid back in full for her mouthiness that night. She was nearly squeezed dry and suffered from back pain the next day.

It had been a few days since and Lu Zhaoyang performed splendidly both at home and at work. Aside from her clear wish to avoid Huo Yunting, the two of them seemed to getting along peacefully.

Huo Yunting’s mood had improved a lot too.

Lu Zhaoyang found it hard to believe that he could behave for so long, patiently coddling her in spite of the debt she was paying him.

Surely his excellent mind was not busted yet, right?

…

Soon, it was the weekend again.

With her computer on her lap, Lu Zhaoyang browsed through some documents from work on the sofa.

A cup of steaming hot tea was placed in front of her. The air conditioner kept the space she was in warm and cozy. The autumn sun was unusually dazzling.

Huo Yunting spent the whole of last weekend with her at home, and Lu Zhaoyang found herself uncomfortable by his unusual behavior.

For some reason, Huo Yunting had left early for the office today.

Lu Zhaoyang was soon bored by the data on her laptop. She closed the active window and clicked on her personal mailbox.

Chen would not send messages to her phone for fear of Huo Yunting’s spying eye.

She picked up her tea with one hand as she studied the empty mailbox. She moved the mouse pointer to the refresh button and clicked, just because she could.

She was about to take a sip from the steaming cup of tea when her laptop pinged once.

She had a new message…

Lu Zhaoyang’s left hand nearly let go of her tea cup.

She clicked on the new message before she could put her cup back down.

There were only a few words in the message.

“Everything is ready, wait for my signal.”

Everything is ready…

Was she really… Was she really leaving Huo Yunting soon?!

Her trembling hand left ripples in her cup of tea. She quickly set the cup down. Without the steam, she could see the computer screen more clearly.

The sender’s email was Chen’s. It was really him.

Ba boom, ba boom…

Lu Zhaoyang’s pulsed quickened. Immediately, she worried about Huo Yunting noticing something wrong with her later.

His eyes were always glowing faintly without a care in the world, belying the calculative mind of his.

That was how he pushed Thunderbolt Corp to become the successful business empire that it was today.
