Chapter 118: Pretending to Quarrel

Chapter 118: Pretending to Quarrel

Yun Mu crossed her arms and sauntered over, looking at Yun Shuiyao with derision.

"Obsessed with superficiality, fickle as water, are you talking about yourself?" Yun Mu's eyes turned cold as she mocked, "Do I need to remind you that Huo Jinzhou is your man? How dare you call me fickle after trying to seduce Yi Jue time and again? You have no shame!"

"You!" Yun Shuiyao gritted her teeth and snorted, "Yun Mu, don't be too pleased with yourself. One day, Yi will see through your true colors."

"That's between the two of us, no need for you to blabber here!"

Yun Shuiyao clenched her fists, snorted, and turned to leave.

Once Yun Shuiyao was out of sight, Yun Mu walked over to Huo Tingying and lightly tapped him. "Why were you so calm just now?"

Huo Tingying spoke in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Yun Shuiyao was telling you how loving Huo Tingying and I are, why weren't you jealous or angry?"

"Why should I be angry? Hearing her say that made me realize how much you love me. The idea of mutual love, I like that." Huo Tingying smiled.

Yun Mu replied, "But you're Yi Jue now! You should be jealous, you should be angry with me!"

Huo Tingying looked at her, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Mrs. Huo, what mischief are you up to?"

Yun Mu felt that this man was getting to know her better and better.

"Mr. Huo, I never do anything bad. But since Yun Shuiyao tried to scheme against me last time, I have to settle the score, right?" Yun Mu leaned closer, holding onto Huo Tingying's arm, her clear eyes blinking at him. "So I thought, Mr. Huo, would you use your identity as Yi Jue to help me get back at her?"

Huo Tingying lowered his gaze, enjoying the way this little woman acted coyly towards him.

"How can I help?"

"Pretend to quarrel with me, let Yun Shuiyao think she has a chance, then make some advances to you. I'll have Huo Jinzhou catch her in the act, let him taste the bitterness of being cheated on, then they can tear each other apart!"

As Yun Mu laid out her plan, Huo Tingying's face darkened more and more.

He pushed her away ruthlessly, pursing his lips and looking at her askance. "You're not still pining for Huo Jinzhou, are you?"

"I'm not that stupid!" Yun Mu moved closer again, wrapping her arms around his muscular waist. "It's because Yun Shuiyao likes you. I have to start from you."

Huo Tingying was set aflame by her sudden closeness, staring at her intensely with dark eyes. "I can help you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What condition?" Yun Mu asked warily.

As long as it wasn't having a child, anything was fine!

Huo Tingying said, "Next month is my birthday, accompany me to a place."

"That's easy, sure." Yun Mu nodded readily.

She didn't even ask where it was.

Huo Tingying smiled thinly and kissed her forehead gently.

But Yun Mu immediately pushed him away. "What are you doing? What if Yun Shuiyao sees us?"

Yun Mu immediately looked around nervously.

Caught off guard by her push, Huo Tingying's body slammed against the car with a loud "bang".

Coincidentally, Yun Shuiyao and Yun Chengdong happened to walk over and saw this scene.

Yun Chengdong snorted, saying disdainfully, "Violent!"

Yun Shuiyao looked at the two of them meaningfully, her whole body elated.

Could it be...that the two of them had a quarrel?

It must be so. Originally, when Huo Tingying was close to death, Yi Jue still had a chance to become official. But now that Huo Tingying has recovered, Yi Jue will never have a chance to become official, plus her fanning the flames earlier, how could they not quarrel!

Yun Shuiyao smiled wickedly, then got into the car with Yun Chengdong and left.

As soon as they left, Yun Mu rushed over to support Huo Tingying, her face full of guilt. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so easy to push over."

Huo Tingying, the pride of heaven, when had he ever been pushed around like this? His eyes were dark and cold.

"Yun Mu, I'm someone who just had surgery not long ago."

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you. How about I treat you to dinner?"

"Barely acceptable."

...

In the following days, Yun Shuiyao became even more certain that Yun Mu and Yi Jue had a quarrel.

Previously, whether Yun Mu was going to school or coming home, Yi Jue would occasionally send her or pick her up. But in the past few days, Yun Mu had been coming and going alone, Yi Jue nowhere to be seen.

These signs were all indications to Yun Shuiyao that there was a rift between them.

Of course, Yun Shuiyao was not rash.

Lu Nansen, as a well-known young master in the imperial capital, had always been popular in the circle of imperial capital tycoons. Tonight was Lu Nansen's birthday party, and rumors had it that Yi Jue would also be attending.

This was a rare opportunity to get close to Yi Jue.

That evening, at Solomon's Bar.

All the ladies and young masters of status in the imperial capital came. As soon as Yun Shuiyao entered, she saw Yi Jue sitting in the VIP booth with Lu Nansen, playing cards with others.

Yijue was clearly uninterested, drinking alcohol by the side after playing for a while.

Looking around, he had surprisingly not brought Yun Mu with him.

Yun Shuiyao immediately seized the opportunity to approach him, carefully observing his expression as she asked, "President Yijue, did you have an argument with Yun Mu? That's why you're drinking alone in sullenness?"

Huo Tingying lifted his gaze, about to tersely tell her to "get lost," but then he remembered the little woman's admonition and deliberately took a deep sip of his wine.

Yun Shuiyao felt that there was hope, "President Yijue, I've told you long ago, Yun was with you before because her sickly husband couldn't perform. Now that her husband is healthy, naturally, she doesn't want to waste time with you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lu Nansen, who was nearby, couldn't hold back and spat out the red wine he had just swallowed, barely suppressing his laughter as he waved his hand, "I didn't hear anything, please continue."

Yun Shuiyao looked at Lu Nansen strangely, what was wrong with Young Master Lu today? Why was he laughing?

The "incapable" sickly man glanced at Yun Shuiyao indifferently, cast a faint look at Lu Nansen, then drained the red wine in his glass, "Either drink quietly or get lost. If I hear you mention that woman's name again in front of me, I won't mind having someone throw you out."

Despite being scolded, Yun Shuiyao wasn't saddened or enraged; instead, she felt elated.

Not even allowing her name to be mentioned, it seemed that it was more than just an argument.

It truly seemed like heaven was helping her.

Yun Shuiyao nodded excitedly, "Alright, alright, we'll drink quietly, no more mentioning it."

Lu Nansen gave Huo Tingying a strange look, what was wrong with him?

Weren't they sweetly playing cards here just now? How come he didn't allow her name to be mentioned now?

Just as Lu Nansen opened his mouth to say something, he was warned by a stern glance from Huo Tingying and hastily shut up, turning back to play cards.

Stay out of the boss's affairs.
