Chapter 269 - Another Gift
Mo Yan explained with a smile, her face beaming with happiness.
Although she had complained about Huo Zhen running around despite his injuries, she couldn’t help but feel delighted when she thought about meeting him that night.
Su Hai had originally thought that Mo Yan was just making excuses, but when he saw her innocent and happy face, he couldn’t help but believe her. He felt as though he was being forced to watch their love story play out, and even felt a little envious of Huo Zhen.
When Mo Yan left the Su Corporation, it was already a little late.
She changed into a classy outfit, put on some light makeup, and went to the restaurant that Huo Zhen had arranged to meet her at. This was a very high-class restaurant. Mo Yan felt strange. After all, every time she had met Huo Zhen, he would choose an ordinary restaurant.
Mo Yan silently thought to herself that she still preferred an ordinary restaurant. Only then would it be more lively.
When she entered the private room, Huo Zhen was already waiting for her inside.
When Mo Yan saw Huo Zhen, she was even happier. She strode to Huo Zhen’s side and sat down. “Are you really okay? If you’re not feeling well, you must tell me. Don’t force yourself.”
“Got it,” Huo Zhen drawled. He lovingly scratched Mo Yan’s nose with his hand. “You, don’t worry so much. I’m not a child anymore.”
“Oh right, did you like the present I gave you?” Huo Zhen stroked the back of Mo Yan’s hand, his smile growing wider.
“I like it very much, but I’m still afraid that I won’t be able to do well.” Mo Yan tugged at her hair. She had pondered about it for a long time on the way there, but she really couldn’t think of how to run a listed company.
“Don’t worry. I believe in you, and I will help you.”
Huo Zhen changed the topic and got Mo Yan to sit beside him. “I asked you here today because I have another gift for you.”
“Another gift?”
Mo Yan’s eyes widened in shock. What special occasion was it that day? Why was Huo Zhen giving her gifts one after another? He had already gifted her a company which she couldn’t afford.
“Let them in.”
Huo Zhen moved closer to Mo Yan. “Believe me, you’ll like this gift as well.”
Mo Yan did not expect Huo Zhen to invite Mo Lian and Mo Dong. Mo Dong’s face was full of smiles. It was obvious that he had already been educated by Huo Zhen in advance. As for Mo Lian, her reluctance was displayed on her face; it was as though she wanted to swallow Mo Yan alive.
“Huo Zhen, why are they here?”
Mo Yan increasingly did not know what Huo Zhen was up to. Moreover, what kind of gifts were Mo Dong and Mo Lian?
Gifts should make her feel happy, not disgusted.
Mo Dong smiled apologetically. He walked over and wanted to sit, but Huo Zhen glared at him.
He immediately restrained himself and smiled.
“Dad, why are we here? And why are you so good to Luo Tao? Isn’t he just a translator? Does he really think he’s a big shot?”
Mo Lian was irate. She had originally thought that they were here to have a big meal, but she didn’t expect to see Mo Yan and Luo Tao. Moreover, her father was nodding and bowing to them respectfully. How could she not be embarrassed?
“Shut up.” Mo Dong glowered at Mo Lian. “What Luo Tao? He is Huo Zhen, the young master of the Huo Corporation. He bought our company.”
“He is Huo Zhen?”
Mo Lian widened her eyes. She could not believe her ears. Wasn’t Luo Tao a pauper? Mo Yan had cheapened herself to marry Luo Tao. How did he suddenly become Huo Zhen?
“Dad, did you make a mistake?”
Mo Lian pulled Mo Dong’s sleeve, and Mo Dong simply pushed her. Seeing his own daughter fall to the ground, Mo Dong did not think of helping her up. Instead, he squeezed out a smile and looked at Huo Zhen, “CEO Huo, my daughter is not sensible. She is blind to the glory before her. Please don’t hold it against her.”
Huo Zhen only snorted lightly and picked out food for Mo Yan as if there was no one else around.
Mo Yan glanced at Huo Zhen. Why did he ask Mo Lian and Mo Dong there?
Mo Dong looked at Mo Yan ingratiatingly again, wanting to speak with her in private.
“Mr. Mo, there’s no need. If you have something to say, just say it here. Huo Zhen and I are already husband and wife. There are no secrets between us. Huo Zhen can know everything you have to say to me.”
Mo Dong looked as though he was about to cry. He did not know what to say.
“Yan Yan, please ask Mr. Huo not to send me to G Country. There are few people there and the infrastructure is not sound. If I go there, it will be no different from being in exile.”
