Chapter 124: The Ambiguity at the Villa

Chapter 124: The Ambiguity at the Villa

Inside the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom, Yun Mu, who was nibbling on a small cake, toppled into Huo Tingying's embrace due to the car's sudden change in direction.

Huo Tingying wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulders while maintaining control of the steering wheel with the other, his deep voice laced with amusement. "Mrs. Huo is quite enthusiastic tonight, throwing herself into my arms?"

Yun Mu steadied herself and glanced out the window, her brows slightly furrowed. "This isn't the way back to the old residence. Did you take a wrong turn?"

"No mistake," Huo Tingying's eyebrows arched lightly. "The old residence will surely be in an uproar tonight. It's best to lay low elsewhere."

That made sense.

Yun Mu nodded first, then her long lashes fluttered as she lifted her eyes. "Are you taking me to a hotel?"

"Want to check into a hotel with me?"

Yun Mu: "…I didn't say that!"

"I'm taking you to my villa in the suburbs. I go there a few times a year."

For a man of Huo Tingying's status, it wasn't surprising how many properties he owned. Yun Mu nodded without further refusal and continued eating her small cake.

Huo Tingying glanced at her, his thin lips curving slightly. "So calm, seems like you're not afraid of what I might do to you tonight."

Yun Mu narrowed her eyes. "And are you afraid I'll leave you paralyzed?"

As Yun Mu spoke, she took out her phone to call Old Master Huo.

The melodious ringtone was answered after two rings.

"Yun Mu? Are you back?"

Yun Mu: "Grandpa, Tingying and I won't be coming back tonight…"

Old Master Huo's gloomy mood instantly lifted. "Good, good. Are you going to stay at Golden City Garden? Perfect, perfect. You two should enjoy some alone time together. That way, I can hold my great-grandchild sooner. Ha ha."

Indeed, Old Master Huo's focus was always on the great-grandchild.

Yun Mu made a few perfunctory remarks before promptly hanging up the call.

Huo Tingying looked sideways at the girl's blushing appearance, so composed just moments ago, now with red ears…

At that moment, his phone rang.

It was Yun Shuiyao's call.

Huo Tingying leaned arrogantly against the car seat, his handsome face showing no emotion, only a flash of coldness in his eyes.

He reached out and directly hung up the call.

Yun Mu shot a glance and pretended not to see.

At that moment in the old Huo family residence, Old Master Huo rushed out of his study and urgently called for the butler.

"Butler, that nourishing soup I asked you to prepare earlier, get it ready now and send it over to Golden City Garden."

"Huh?" The butler was somewhat confused.

"What's with the 'huh'? Hurry up! Now that Tingying is better, they're not coming back to the old residence tonight; they're going to have their own time together. It's the perfect opportunity for him and Yun Mu to give me a great-grandchild. I must stoke the fire for them."

Old Master Huo had come to understand that neither of his grandsons were worry-free, so he could only pin his hopes on a great-grandson.

The butler didn't dare delay and immediately went to the kitchen to make preparations.

This commotion did not escape Huo Jinzhou's eyes, and a chill flashed through his hawk-like gaze.

He had become the laughingstock of the world, while the culprit brazenly spent a romantic evening with Huo Tingying.

Although he was furious, he hadn't lost his ability to think.

Everything tonight was clearly calculated by Yun Mu.

There were many ways to expose Yun Shuiyao's trickery, but Yun Mu chose the most direct and brutal method. She was clearly taking revenge for his betrayal when he got involved with Yun Shuiyao!

A sense of humiliation and anger welled up within him.

Huo Jinzhou clenched his fists, punched the wall, then grabbed his jacket and car keys and left.

Soon, the Rolls-Royce Phantom came to a stop on the lawn at Golden City Garden.

The villa, in a simple neo-European style, was decorated in a low-key and cool manner, unlike Huo Tingying's usual taste and preferences.

"This was my mother's house; she lived here for a while before she passed away."

So that was the case.

It seemed that Huo Tingying's mother was a cool and proud woman.

They went upstairs and entered the bedroom, where a servant respectfully said, "The box contains a gift sent by Old Master from the old residence."

Yun Mu walked over and opened it.

The first layer contained a bowl of medicinal soup. Yun Mu sniffed it, recognizing the familiar scent and formula.

The second layer, however, contained... lingerie.

And there were both female and male versions, with styles as bold as they could be!

Yun Mu quickly stuffed the clothes back into the box, her pale earlobes flushing red again. Just as she turned around, she saw Huo Tingying taking off his jacket.

The man stood tall and handsome, his white shirt and black trousers perfectly outlining his slender waist and long legs that filled the screen, a feast for the eyes!

Such a perfect figure would look even more stunning in those fiery and wild underpants from earlier...

At this thought, Yun Mu's gaze involuntarily drifted downward toward the man's belt buckle...

"Where are you looking?" Suddenly, a deep, magnetic voice sounded by her ear.

Yun Mu jumped, immediately lifting her head. When she met Huo Tingying's deep, narrow eyes, her eyelashes fluttered, and she hastily said, "I wasn't looking, I didn't see anything."

Huo Tingying's eyebrows arched slightly as he glanced at the box, his words tinged with teasing. "What did Grandpa send over? You look like you're hiding something. Did you ask him to prepare it?"

Sneaky man, clearly knowing what it was but asking anyway.

Yun Mu stuffed the box under the sofa, clearing her throat. "Nothing, Grandpa made a mistake."

She then quickly escaped to the bathroom to wash up.

Huo Tingying didn't continue to tease her; instead, he pulled out a box from the cabinet.

He tugged at his shirt collar when the bathroom door opened.

Yun Mu had finished washing up, dressed in a beige spaghetti-strap nightgown. Her moist eyes, steamed by the heat, shimmered like an autumn pond.

As she dried her hair with a towel, she walked over and squatted down. "What's in the box? It looks quite vintage."

Huo Tingying gave her an appraising look before saying, "It's something my mother left behind. It's useless to me, but if she were still here, I think she would have given it to you."

His mother's belongings?

Yun Mu's curiosity was instantly piqued. Upon opening the box, she found it full of medical books.

"Your mother knew medicine?"

Huo Tingying nodded without showing any emotion.

Yun Mu was somewhat surprised. When she flipped through one of the medical books, her expression turned to astonishment.

She had already been proud of her extraordinary medical skills, but she never expected that some of the medical techniques recorded here far surpassed what she had learned in the past.

Yun Mu focused intently on reading the medical books, completely ignoring Huo Tingying beside her.

Huo Tingying didn't disturb her and went to take a shower first.

When he came out after his shower and saw her still sitting on the floor reading, he walked over and snatched the medical book from her hand.

"What are you doing?"

Huo Tingying raised his hand, a hint of mischief playing on his thin lips. "Mrs. Huo, can't you be a bit more aware of your role as a wife? Do you really think I brought you here to read medical books?"

"Weren't you the one who gave me this book? Now you want to take it back?"

Just as Yun Mu was getting to the good part, he quickly reached out to snatch it back.
