Huo Yunting took a quick glance at Lu Zhaoyang. He could not help stepping on the accelerator.
Lu Zhaoyang slept like a baby. She woke up habitually when the alarm clock went off in the morning.
She felt a hand on her waist and realized she was in a different but familiar place.
She was not in her small apartment but Huo Yuntingâs villa.
She vaguely remembered after the concert last night that she fell asleep in the car. This man must have taken advantage of her.
Huo Yunting seemed to be still asleep, but the hand on her waist was firm.
Lu Zhaoyang slowly lifted his wrist, trying to shove it away while she carefully wriggled out of it.
âWhere are you going?â
Just as she was about to get away, she heard him speak. Lu Zhaoyang pretended to be calm. âI am off to work; the alarm had already gone off.â
Huo Yunting simply replied with an mhm. Still drowsy, he mumbled with his eyes closed. âYou can get changed; itâs all in the wardrobe.â
Lu Zhaoyang glanced back at him. When she opened the closet, she found that the space she had cleared out last time was full.
It was all brand-new haute couture spring collections, all of which still had the tags on and were of her size.
Huo Yunting lay on the pillow, opening his eyes slightly. He gradually awakened to her stupefied expression.
He was confident that he was going to bring her back one day.
So, he restocked her wardrobe, each piece according to her size precisely.
Lu Zhaoyang came out of her daze. She chose a blue striped shirt and denim skirt, and a black windbreaker. Even the undergarment came in sets, brand new.
She changed without uttering a word and turned around to find Huo Yunting leaning on the headboard staring at her. He seemed to be half awake as his stare was unfocused.
âI am heading downstairs now,â she said softly and left.
âHeartless.â Huo Yunting let out a long sigh, flipped open the quilt and got out of bed.
The servant saw Lu Zhaoyang coming down the stairs and was startled at first before breathing a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Huo was back; Mr. Huo would not be so grumpy then.
Lu Zhaoyang sat at a small dining table. She was a little annoyed and amused; it was because of Huo Yuntingâs childish behavior that the dining table had become so small.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Huo Yuntingâs flippant voice came suddenly.
âLaughing at you.â Lu Zhaoyang tapped the table with her finger. âAre you not kiddish?â
âIt allows a husband and a wife to sit closer together, thus increasing intimacy.â Huo Yunting said while he looked at her affectionately.
Lu Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him. It was like she was digging her own grave with every word she said.
Ge Yu was a little far from here. So Lu Zhaoyang quickly finished her breakfast, grabbed a tissue, and ran off.
âIâm going to work.â
Huo Yunting looked at her and said slowly, âWhy not let Lao Zhang send you?â
âThat will be great!â
Huo Yunting was surprised. He thought that she would disagree.
If he offered to drive her personally, would she have rejected immediately?
He glanced at the leftovers in her small bowl, the broken eggshell, and the empty cupâshe seemed to be in a good mood, surprisingly.
Lu Zhaoyang had Lao Zhang dropped her 200 meters from Ge Yu, and she walked to her office.
Otherwise, the million-yuan car and Lao Zhang would create a misunderstanding that she was the mistress of an old man.
Lu Zhaoyang stepped into the office. As soon as she turned on the computer, her mobile phone rang.

It was the last call she wanted to answer.
âSu Cheng, what more do you want? I am not going to join your company. I do not want to be a star! Perish that thought!â Lu Zhaoyang shouted as soon as she picked up the phone.
âBeauty, you have a bad temper. How hard did Brother Ting screw you last night? You guys were so passionate, eh?â
Lu Zhaoyang was convinced that Su Cheng was a jerk; he was one of those good-looking guys that she wanted to give a slap on the face.
âI am hanging up!â
She didnât want to say much. She could land herself into trouble if Su Chengâs phone was tapped.
âYour temper is more and more like your brother. I have told you not to emulate him.â Su Cheng sat in front of the computer leisurely with footage of last nightâs concert playing on the computer.
âYeah, he asked me to ignore you.â Lu Zhaoyang had work to do. She had no time to entertain him and was about to hang up.
âYang Yang, I know that you are going to hang up on me. But I have something to show you. You must share it with your brother. If you do not come to my office, I am going to release the video clip. You know what I mean.â
Su Cheng hung up. He watched the video clip of a couple kissing and shrugged.
What an eye candy scene, he thought.
It would be a hit if he could convince Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang to play the leading roles in his new movie.
Lu Zhaoyang listened to the disconnect tone in the phone and felt something amiss.
Not long after, an email notification sounded; she thought it was Yu Jingxi. She opened the email, and a video clip was automatically downloaded and played.
Wasnât that the concert last night?
Lu Zhaoyang was not interested. She moved the cursor to close the video until the scene of her kissing Huo Yunting appeared.
It was not conspicuous with so many people around. But when looking closely, she could see their faces clearly!
âSu Cheng!â
It turned out that it was why Su Cheng had insisted for her to go to the concert; it was a setup.
She could not handle this matter on her own. So, she decided to contact Huo Yunting.
She first forwarded the video clip to Huo Yuntingâs work email and then called him.
âMiss me already?â The call was quickly connected to Huo Yunting.
âStop the crap! Something has gone wrong!â Lu Zhaoyang pinched her glabellar. âSu Cheng recorded a video of us kissing last night. Now, he used the video clip to blackmail me into joining his company. Fix it!â
Huo Yunting could not help but respond with a hah. âNow, you know how important I am. Thatâs right. Keep it up.â
âYeah, Your Excellency Huo. Please fix this and make sure he gets the message that I am not interested at all in the entertainment industry and donât bother me again!â
Lu Zhaoyang hung up.
Huo Yunting was startled as he looked at the phone. It seemed that Lu Zhaoyang had found hanging up on him as a matter of course.
Huo Li came in, seeing that his elder brother was in a good mood, he and quickly buttered him up. âBrother Ting, you look so awesome today!â
âOh, am I?â Huo Yunting switched on his computer listlessly to check what the video clip was all about.
âOf course, you are, Brother Ting. So, is there anything that I can do for you?â Huo Li asked smilingly.
âOf course, you can. Get me Chengânow.â
