WARNING! Tsundere President

“That’s not really it.”

Huo Junyu looked down with a confused expression.

“Guys and girls tend to have different preferences.”

“Is that right?”

Mo Ning could tell that there was more to it than he was willing to divulge, but she was not interested in that.

To her surprise, Huo Junyu gave a meaningful smile and added, “In any case, she is of the Huo family. If anyone tries to bully or use her, I will not let it slide.”

Mo Ning smiled back in response.

Was that a warning for her to be sincere toward Huo Run?

What a paranoid person.

Mo Ning looked around the event hall and did not see Huo Yunting or Lu Zhaoyang. “Don’t worry, I promise that I will do any harm toward her.”

Huo Run was never the target.

Abruptly, Yan Sinian added playfully, “My baby is only interested in my body.”

He turned to look at Mo Ning and smiled. “Am I right?”

Mo Ning striked an invisible middle finger to him in her mind but felt a little concerned.

Did Yan Sinian figure out her real intention?

What role did he intend to play that evening?

She must tread carefully.

“I’m going to the washroom.”

She got up and went in the direction of the washroom, but picked up a glass of red wine along the way instead before disappearing into the crowd.

Huo Run saw Mo Ning leave from afar while she was entertaining a few other young ladies and pursed her lips.

Someone pulled at her sleeve and asked curiously, “Huo Run, is that your boyfriend?”

Huo Run’s cheeks turned red instantly.

“No.”

“Are you lying?” The other young lady chuckled but added regretfully, “You had your eyes on him ever since he arrived, so I know you like him very much. Sigh, I would have approached him immediately if you were not interested in him. By the way, what’s his name?”

“Mo Ning,” Huo Run replied shyly.

“What a nice name. Why are you blushing so much?”

“…”

As the young ladies overwhelmed Huo Run with questions, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The thought of the graceful young man made her blush even more. When she unintentionally revealed that the hairpin she was wearing was a gift from Mo Ning, the girls around her felt even more thrilled to know more.

Unbeknownst to Huo Run, her mother saw what was happening.

She frowned slightly. “Runrun is only eighteen years old. How can she have a boyfriend now?”

A long arm reached over her waist, accompanied by a man’s deep voice. “Let her be.”

Lu Zhaoyang looked at the man and saw his cold and emotionless eyes. She said by way of advice, “Huo Yunting, Runrun had nothing to do with what happened back then. She is innocent. It is because of us that Runrun was forced to leave her parents. No matter how much love we give her, we will never be able to replace her real parents, so don’t be so hard on her.”

“Innocent?”

Huo Yunting chuckled flatly and said no more.

Throughout the years since their daughter’s abduction, he had never stopped searching for her and for Huo Run’s real parents.

However, his search had yielded no results.

“Huo Run’s family name is Huo, but she will never be my daughter.”

“I know.”

Lu Zhaoyang looked into the distance and recalled the tender face of her beloved baby girl.
