Chapter 1037: Chapter 1079: Silly Girl

Huo Junmo stared at Ling Yueyue’s tense little face for a while, and as he watched, he suddenly laughed.

Ling Yueyue touched her own face, puzzled, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Huo Junmo helplessly said, "I’m laughing at how silly you are! You usually seem quite smart, and I thought you were smart too, yet today you ask such silly questions!"

"What? How is that a silly question? It’s something every woman cares about, okay!" Ling Yueyue pouted, looking at him with dissatisfaction.

Huo Junmo gently pinched her nose, "You still say you’re not silly! Let me ask you this, do you think I’d marry just any random woman? If that were the case, why would I have been single for five years? So many women more beautiful and prettier than you have thrown themselves at me, and yet I chose to marry you, a little shrew?"

Being asked like this, Ling Yueyue was stunned, and naturally followed up with his words, "What do you mean? Are you saying you married me just because I’m Ling Yueyue?"

Huo Junmo shook his head helplessly, with a faint smile, "Of course! Over the past five years, I’ve been surrounded by so many different kinds of women. If any random woman could become Mrs. Huo, then what role was there for you?"

Although what Huo Junmo said was indirect and not very clear, Ling Yueyue still understood, and she asked excitedly, "So, you’re good to me not because I am Mrs. Huo, but because I am Ling Yueyue?"

Huo Junmo couldn’t resist giving Ling Yueyue a light knock on the forehead and said solemnly, "Let me reiterate once more, Mrs. Huo is Ling Yueyue, and Ling Yueyue is Mrs. Huo. You are one and the same person!"

"So, your kindness is only directed at me as a person!" Ling Yueyue covered her forehead, which had been knocked painfully, and looked at Huo Junmo with hopeful eyes.

Huo Junmo’s thin lips curled up, and he nodded with a smile.

"Oh yeah! That’s great! You like me, and you’re genuinely good to me! With this, I’m satisfied! I don’t regret marrying you anymore! From now on, I’ll stick with you, and you’ll never get rid of me for the rest of your life!" Ling Yueyue excitedly wrapped her arms around Huo Junmo’s neck! If the carriage weren’t so small, she might have jumped up and hugged him out of excitement.

Though she was excited, Huo Junmo’s face suddenly darkened, and he gently twisted her ear, saying in a low voice, "What did you just say? You don’t regret marrying me anymore? Does that mean you once regretted marrying me?"

On hearing this, Ling Yueyue was stunned, shocked with delight, and accidentally voiced her innermost thoughts!

Indeed, when she first married Huo Junmo, she really did regret it! Her regret wasn’t because Huo Junmo wasn’t good enough, but because he was too good! She felt she wasn’t good enough for him with her humble background and the kind of parents she had!

She didn’t want to drag such a good man down! She was afraid that he would be burdened by her and be stuck with her parents for the rest of his life!

So, she had regretted it, regretting her hasty decision because of the child in her womb, almost ruining a good man!

However, she doesn’t regret it anymore, really doesn’t regret it anymore! She has figured it out! It’s not easy to find a man who is genuinely good to you in this lifetime!

She doesn’t mind why Huo Junmo is good to her, whether genuine or not. Even if it’s fake, she would be content if Huo Junmo pretended to be kind to her for a lifetime! Because she was so lacking in warmth and love!

She enjoyed this feeling of being loved, cared for, and cherished! She was deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate herself!

Seeing Ling Yueyue silent, Huo Junmo’s face turned even grimmer, and his tone was filled with displeasure, "Answer me, did you once regret marrying me?"

"Well... well... um... it’s all in the past now, isn’t it? Now, I don’t regret it anymore, right? Don’t take it so seriously... haha... it’s all in the past!" Ling Yueyue explained in a low, stumbling voice!

She couldn’t help it; she was always straightforward, never keeping things in her heart! So she developed a fatal flaw, she can’t lie!

Faced with Huo Junmo’s questioning, she didn’t know how to explain it!

Listening to her explanation, Huo Junmo’s face completely darkened, "So, you’re admitting that you once regretted it?"

Ling Yueyue sneaked a peek at Huo Junmo from the corner of her eye, seeing an unprecedented gloom on his face, she was startled and blurted out her inner thoughts, "I did regret it at first! Who asked you to be so perfect? Successful in career, good looks, gentle and considerate! I can’t see any flaws in you! And look at me, born in the countryside, poor family conditions! Impulsive temperament, not gentle, beyond having a bit of looks, there’s almost nothing good about me! If you put us side by side, how could I not feel inferior! Under inferiority, regret is quite normal! I always felt like I was bringing down a good man!"

Upon hearing her grievances, the gloom on Huo Junmo’s face vanished, and his lips curled slightly as he chuckled, lightly tapping her head, "Really couldn’t tell, seeing you so feisty usually, didn’t know you were this insecure and lacked confidence!"

Ling Yueyue muttered softly, "Being feisty is to cover up the insecurity inside! It’s precisely because of insecurity, fear of being ridiculed, bullied, and looked down on, that I can only make myself strong! It’s the trick I honed since childhood!"

Listening to her words, Huo Junmo’s heart tightened suddenly, and he cupped her small face with both hands, forcefully lifting her head, looking directly into her eyes with seriousness and sincerity, "You are already my wife, Mrs. Huo, the lady of Huo Tian Group! You don’t need to feel inferior, nor do you need to be afraid of being bullied again! Do you remember what I once told you? I am your husband, your sky, no matter what happens, I will be there to shoulder it for you, even if the sky falls, you don’t have to be afraid, I will not let you get hurt at all! So, promise me, from today onward, don’t be afraid, don’t be insecure! Whatever happens, don’t hide it in your heart, just tell me, I will protect you, and won’t allow you to get hurt even a bit!"

Looking into Huo Junmo’s earnest eyes, Ling Yueyue said sadly, "But I don’t want you to be hurt even a little because of me!"

On hearing this, Huo Junmo laughed silently, "Silly girl, with my current status, who could still hurt me? You’re not a porcupine; why would I get hurt because of you? Even assuming the worst, if I really got hurt because of you, it’s my willing choice! You need not blame yourself or feel guilty!"
