Lu Zhaoyang was expressionless in the photo. Her helplessness, desperation and despair were all shown on her face. As both of them were a total different person years back, the photo no longer justified itself as a marriage photo.
It was creepy. The atmosphere within the frame was grim.
“Wow, I just realized you were putting on such a face back then,” said Huo Yunting, feeling dissatisfied.
“Hah!” She sneered and glanced at him, “I was forced, okay? How can I be happy?”
“Let’s go have another shot then!” Huo Yunting pulled her up, “Go, change.” He gestured her to her wardrobe.
“Huo Yunting, I’m not a genie. Your wish is not my command.”
“This is a photo that means the rest of our life. We can’t just leave the photo like this. You can presume it as driven by my pride and prejudice back then. Now I’ve changed. Please don’t reject me.”
As much as Zhaoyang wanted to shrug away his hand, stand up and shout at him being a lunatic, she somehow felt she was the lunatic instead this time.
I must be crazy…
Zhaoyang thought as they eventually got to the registry to have another shot, just because of the white cane her man kept.
“Okay, smile.” Their smiles were bright with a hint of passion and romance.
“Now this is what I’m talking about,” said Huo Yunting feeling pleased.
Lu Zhaoyang rolled her eyes in a defeated manner.
Sometimes Huo Yunting really behaves like a little boy. Ugh.
“Where shall we go next?”
“What? Aren’t we supposed to go home now? Xuxu’s alone at home.”
“Okay, we are going to have French food today.” And they drove away.
When they got home, the little boy was on the sofa with arms around his chest as he pouted his lips unhappily.
“Xuxu, have you had dinner?” Asked Zhaoyang with a gentle voice.
“HMPH!” Huo Xu turned away his head.
“Don’t you show your attitude to your mother, young man. You might end up in the orphanage,” said Huo Yunting as he tapped the little boy’s head.
“No! Please, no. Sorry! Yang Yang, please don’t leave me at an orphanage!” The little boy was a kid, after all.
“Don’t listen to him! How would I ever drop my little woozy pie at an orphanage?”
Huo Yunting grinned as he showed Huo Xu the cake they bought him, “Aw, don’t put up a long face. There, this is what we got you when we were out there.”
“Thank you, daddy!” The little boy accepted the compensation happily as he greedily stabbed the cake with a fork and started chomping. He had totally forgotten the fact that his mother was “abducted” that night.
“Jesus Christ, Huo Yunting, how can you cheat your own child?” Said Zhaoyang upon returning to the bedroom.
“Well that’s what children are for. I can’t let him be a giant third-wheel next to the rub, can I?”
Huo Yunting kept the certificate in the drawer and returned her a winky face, “Okay, fine. Where do you want to start it tonight, Honey?”
“The study room?” Said Zhaoyang.
“As you wish.” Huo Yunting bowed.
“¡No! Señor. I mean you’re sleeping at the study room tonight,” rejected Zhaoyang boldly as she walked past him, flipping her hair.
She needed a shower and the nice comfy bed in the room.
“In your dreams, señorita. We are showering together. Remember our motto? Save the water, save the Earth? Now we even get to save rubber on bed, how fun!”
“…”
Oh my goodness, what other convincing excuses he could get just to penetrate me?!
——
The next morning, they started their work with an important international meeting at the hall.
It was so long, that Zhaoyang could feel her sole aching from standing and her cheeks twitching from her plastic smile. It was almost noon when the meeting finally ended.
And there Lin Yazhi was, shouting and shaking her head in fear and fright.
“Oh no…I’m doomed…” Lin Yazhi sat down hopelessly as she covered her face, “My dad just got his head slammed by a door. He actually arranged a matchmaking session for me.”
“Who’s that?”
“It’s…”

Chapter 681: Lin Yazhi and Huo Yunting Marrying?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why?
“Probably had enough of being a mayor and wanted to climb upwards I suppose…” Lin Yazhi despaired, “I was afraid of something like this, so I went to work as soon as I could and thought this sort of arranged marriage was beyond me now!”
“If the partner is alright, it’s not that bad. You can meet the person first, who knows he might be the right one.”
“Pffft, pfftt, that’s not the point, you know who he wants me to get married to?” Lin Yazhi’s eyes widened as she got to this point, “Bis Sis Zhaoyang, you know him!”
Lu Zhaoyang pondered for a bit and realized that their mutual acquaintance were rather many. She could not tell who it was.
“It’s the CEO!!! My dad is nuts!” Lin Yazhi pointed to the wall as if her father was there.
“…Huo Yunting?” Lu Zhaoyang sniggered and nodded in agreement, “That is indeed madness, remember to feed him his medication.”
She continued to look at the monitor and continued without looking away, “He meant to rope in Thunderbolt Corp?”
“Probably, he even gave me two candidates, one is the CEO, another is Xiangyuan Corp’s Xiang Jinxi. Forget about the CEO, even with a billion dollars I won’t dare to seduce him, as for Xiang Jinxi…”
She never dared to have that sort of thought!
That was like looking for trouble!
The target of her marriage was someone in opposition to their company and that means she would need to leave Thunderbolt. Nope, she won’t be leaving her hard earned position here just for some stranger!
“Uncle’s ambition sure is big and based on what I know Xiang Jinxi had no girlfriend. As for Huo Yunting, that’s impossible.”
He was already a married man and her husband.
“Big Sis Zhaoyang, I swear, I never ever thought of the CEO! I’m trapped, why can’t he let my brother marry the daughter of a governor or something, that’ll be much more useful than this! Ahhh, I’m going crazy, CRAZY!”
She shook her head as her hair was messed up in a fit of frustration. “Big Sis Zhaoyang, give me an idea wouldn’t you?”
“It’s not like I don’t have one,” Lu Zhaoyang looked up, as her brow raised playfully, “But that requires a certain person to agree.”
“What idea?” Lin Yazhi bend forward agitatedly.
“Well, just bring a boyfriend back home, right? Isn’t Huo Li a good candidate? He’s Huo Yunting’s special assistant, and has the backing of the Thunderbolt Corp, the rest…you can connect the dots right?”
“Ugh….what should I do?”
Lu Zhaoyang arranged the documents on the table before casting a disdainful glance.
“Huo Yunting having a son is already news, you can tell your dad there’s no way in hell that’ll work, as for Xiang Jinxi, you can say that he has a girlfriend, Qiu Jin coincidentally is cooperating with him, just cook up a story or something.”
“But…” She pursed her lips, “What if Huo Li doesn’t agree to help?”
“No way, he’ll definitely help. Go look for him now, you can treat him for lunch.”
From what she heard from Huo Yunting, she discerned that Huo Li probably has a thing for Lin Yazhi. Now that there’s such a good opportunity, why wouldn’t he help?
She stood up to look for Huo Yunting for lunch as she looked at the clock.
Lin Yazhi too asked Huo Li out for lunch and never though that the moment she said she’ll be treating him, he agreed to it almost immediately.
Over at an high-end western restaurant, the atmosphere was elegant as the melody of the piano rang in the air.
Huo Li looked at her suspiciously and asked, “Something’s not right today, what’re you up to?”
