It was seven oâ clock in the evening when both of them arrived by Golden City punctually.
Mo Ning had a quick look at Huo Runâs outfit which clearly was properly done. She dressed like a princess usually in school but she almost dressed exceptionally like a princess on a ballroom night with her streamlined yellowish white dress. She also brandished her silver high heels, 8 centimeters tall, when Mo Ning greeted her. Her hair was always shiny but she probably applied a generous amount of hair serum to make it look unbelievably shiny.
Mo Ning beamed at Huo Runâs look before taking out a tiny case in bright blue from her pocket, âI got it from a shop while loafing around the city days ago. Felt that it would look good on you.â
Huo Run took the case and opened it. The case revealed a ladybug hairpin pieced by different gems shone in various colors under the streetlight. The ladybug was obviously something as pricey as the Tiffany necklace on her neck.
âThanks,â muttered Huo Run as she looked at Mo Ning once, âIâll get you something in return.â
The response got Mo Ning confused.
How do I reply to that as a playboy?
Oh wait, I think Yan Sinian had said something great to me before.
Letâs see...
âHow about you thank me with your body?â
â...â Huo Runâs eyes enlarged in embarrassment and she charged into the building.
Mo Ning was calm. She seemed calm.
Jesus Christ. How was I even capable of pulling off such a shameless line? Look at the goosebumps all over my arms. Ew.
Geez. I had gotten used to flirting with girls as a boy. It just came so naturally.
So much work just to avenge myself.
Mo Ning tapped her cheeks and put up her plastic smile again as she followed Huo Run deeper into Golden City.
âGood evening, Miss Huo. Allow me,â welcomed one of the waiters by the door as they were led to a room.
âThe Golden City is a property under my great aunt-in-law. She also runs other properties. I heard she had monopolized the entire entertainment industry,â said Huo Run softly with pride.
All properties once under Gu Jinzhi were transferred to Wen He since the incident. As Wen He was married to Uncle Huo, she had gradually moved everything to the capital.
An aunt-in-law, huh?
Wait, does that mean...is the owner the mother of Huo Junyu?
âHow old...is your great aunt-in-law?â
âAbout in her forties?â
â...â
Oh. Mai. Gawd. This family tree is even messier if I have to mention it in Chinese...
How can Huo Yunting address an over forty-year-old man as his elder brother?
What about his child? Geez, how does his child address this Golden City couple as uncle and aunt-in-law?
Little did Mo Ning know, that âchildâ in question was herself the whole time.
âWe are here.â The waiter opened the door for them and Huo Run just went in immediately with grace, leaving Mo Ning who saw someone by the door.
âOh, you came here to play too? How about you join me?â Said the man the very second Mo Ning retracted her gaze to avoid eye-contact. His friendâs blue eyes went large.
Is that Mo Ning?
âForgot me, darling?â Asked Yan Sinian. His blonde friend was apparently a half-blood, having the same ridiculously tall height as him.
âArenât you Mo Ning, the-â The man kept his mouth shut the moment Yan Sinian gave him a gaze.
Of all people in this novel, why this jerk?
Heâs EVERYWHERE!
Seriously, did he put a tracker in my brace?
âMo Ning, oh my Mo Ming, you wonât reject me for the night, will you?â Asked Yan Sinian with a face of agony being unrecognized, he sighed, âI mean, arenât we more than friends? Remember?â The question ended with a lifted pretentious tone. Mo Ning pinched her forehead. She was not feeling good with the situation. She wanted to zip his mouth for good but his friend interrupted.
