Chapter 1091: Chapter 1133: His Sacrifice

Upon hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue rolled her eyes again and replied with a forced smile, "Yes, yes, I don’t understand the thoughts of you big shots, so I always know that I can’t be a big figure, and will always just be a little girl!"

Huo Junmo gently rubbed Ling Yueyue’s head, dotingly saying, "Alright, don’t be mad anymore! Get some rest early, I have a handle on everything! Just because I have a good temper does not mean I’m weak! I will protect you and not let anyone bully you! Trust me!"

Ling Yueyue bargained, "I can go to sleep, but you must promise me one thing!"

Huo Junmo smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Ling Yueyue said seriously, "If my parents or anyone from my family comes to find you, you must tell me immediately! Also, if anyone from my family brings up anything involving money with you, you must refuse, firmly refuse, don’t give them any illusions! I hate their greedy faces! I am their daughter, whether they raised me or cared for me or not, but they did give birth to me, so it’s only natural for me to support them! But you’re different, everything you have now is something you’ve worked hard for, and it has nothing to do with them, you have no obligation to give them a single cent! So, I absolutely cannot tolerate them trying to squeeze money out of you!"

Huo Junmo helplessly asked, "Is this the reason why you’ve always prevented them from meeting me?"

Ling Yueyue nodded firmly, "Yes! I know them too well! If they had met you when we got married, they would have extorted a hefty sum from you, and you wouldn’t be able to get rid of them your whole life! They’re like a bottomless pit, no matter how much you fill it, it won’t be enough! I don’t want all the money you’ve worked so hard for to end up benefitting them! I’m ashamed to have such parents and family, but I have no choice because they are my relatives!"

Huo Junmo nodded and swore confidently, "I promise you, if they come looking for me, I’ll let you know immediately, and without your permission, I won’t give them a single cent!"

Receiving this promise from Huo Junmo, Ling Yueyue nodded in satisfaction, "Mm! Go to sleep!"

Huo Junmo smiled softly, just as he was about to lie down with Ling Yueyue, Ling Yueyue suddenly pulled his arm.

Huo Junmo turned his head and asked, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Ling Yueyue frowned and looked at Huo Junmo, tentatively asking, "I remember it now! It seems like it was after my dad went to see you that you suddenly suggested we go on a honeymoon! It wasn’t because you met my dad and felt sympathy for me that you decided to take me on a honeymoon, right?"

That day when Huo Junmo suddenly suggested going on a honeymoon, she had felt strange at the suddenness of it!

Thinking back now, Huo Junmo’s proposal to go on a honeymoon came just after her dad had met him!

With all her reflection, she couldn’t help but misunderstand that after meeting her father and realizing she had such a greedy, insatiable family, Huo Junmo must have felt sympathy for her, which is why he took her on a honeymoon!

"...!" Huo Junmo was taken aback, then smiled, "Initially, it was indeed like that!"

"You...!" After hearing his response, Ling Yueyue was so furious that her hand trembled as she pointed at Huo Junmo, angrily saying, "I, Ling Yueyue, don’t need sympathy or pity, I...!"

Before Ling Yueyue could finish, Huo Junmo held her hand firmly in his palm, smiling as he spoke, "Don’t get upset, hear me out! That day, after meeting your father, I did feel pity because of your family situation and wanted to take you out to relax! However, that was just my initial thought. Later on, I genuinely fell for you, not out of sympathy, much less pity!"

Ling Yueyue absent-mindedly asked, "Is this what they often say in dramas, having pity turns into love?"

Huo Junmo honestly said, "Not entirely! There are many things about you that attract me, like your strength, courage, liveliness, openness, optimism, kindness, and your courage to take responsibility, and there are many more, too many for me to list!"

Listening to Huo Junmo’s sweet words, Ling Yueyue broke into a smile, feeling a sweet delight inside, and coquettishly glared at Huo Junmo, "Sweet talker! Since you’ve said so much to make me happy all at once, I’ll forgive you for hiding your meeting with my dad and also for your initial sympathy and pity towards me!"

Huo Junmo leaned over and planted a deep kiss on Ling Yueyue’s forehead, "Let’s sleep!"

Ling Yueyue said, "Wait a moment, I have another question to ask you!"

"What is it?" Huo Junmo was very patient and showed no sign of impatience.

"Let me boldly guess, if you had known about my kind of family long ago, then... before the honeymoon, when I was making a phone call in your company’s hallway, surely you knew whom I was talking to, right? And I always thought that after I changed my phone number, my parents would definitely come to school to find me, but nothing happened! Did you do something?" Although this idea and assumption seemed a bit absurd, the current situation left her with no choice but to think this way!

Knowing her parents, if they couldn’t get in touch with her, and wanted her to pay that hundred thousand compensation for her younger sister, they would certainly come looking for her!

And the only place they knew was her school!

But, a long time had passed, and everything was quiet at school, with no reports of anyone causing trouble or looking for her!

At the time, she had thought it was strange, thinking her parents would not let her off so easily!

Initially, she couldn’t figure out why, even thinking the sun had risen in the west!

Now, it seemed she had to boldly speculate whether Huo Junmo had done something behind the scenes without her knowing.

Huo Junmo softly acknowledged, "Mm! Something like that!"

Ling Yueyue frowned, dissatisfied, "What do you mean by ’something like that?’ Tell me quickly, what did you do?"

Huo Junmo explained, "All along, I hoped you would voluntarily tell me your difficulties, but you never said a word. Since you didn’t, I didn’t want to force you! That day, when you smashed your phone and changed your number, I guessed you were trying to avoid your family! I also guessed that given your parent’s greedy nature, they wouldn’t give up easily. If they couldn’t contact you, they would definitely go to your school to find you! I didn’t want them to disrupt your studies or tarnish your reputation at school, so I gave the school a heads-up. If they went looking for you, they were to call me, and I’d send someone to handle it!"
