Chapter 1197: Chapter 1239: Uninvited Guest

"Since that’s the case, okay then! I’ll book a plane ticket and head back tomorrow!" Saying this, she took out her phone and directly booked a midday flight for the next day.

Seeing Ling Shenglan start to book a ticket, Ling Yueyue teased, "If my little brother knows you’re going back tomorrow, he’ll definitely be very happy!"

"During this period, all my thoughts have been on you, neglecting him a lot indeed. It’s time I went back to be with him properly! However...!" At this point, Ling Shenglan had booked her ticket and looked up towards Ling Yueyue, saying firmly, "But if you feel unwell or need me for anything, you must call me right away, don’t worry about bothering me! We are mother and daughter; no matter what happens, it’s my duty to take care of you!"

Ling Yueyue held her chin high, patting her chest proudly, "Don’t worry! Nothing will happen! Who is Mr. Huo in our household? One of the five renowned individuals in Jin City; who dares to bother me? Everyone’s eager to curry favor with me, let alone those many servants inside and out of this home, and bodyguards follow wherever I go. What could go wrong? Just go home without worries! You’ve stayed long enough this time; once you go back, spend more time with the little brother; he’s at the age where he needs maternal care the most!"

Upon hearing Ling Yueyue’s words and recalling Huo Junmo’s status, Ling Shenglan finally felt at ease, "In that case, I’ll head back tomorrow! This time returning, I truly should spend time with your brother, otherwise he’ll blame me and stop recognizing me as his mom!"

Ling Yueyue nodded, "Yes! Go back! He’s still young, at an age where he requires care, while I’ve already become a mother and don’t need you by my side all the time, making me feel like a child!"

Ling Shenglan’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and she smiled, "Alright! Later after dinner, I’ll pack my baggage."

"Hmm!" Ling Yueyue smiled and nodded.

Ling Shenglan stayed and accompanied Ling Yueyue for another day. After dinner, the old driver Liu drove her home.

Since Ling Yueyue’s nausea had ceased, Huo Junmo returned to his previous work schedule! He left home with Huo Jiantian in the morning and came back in the evening with him.

With the winter break approaching, Huo Jiantian was about to have finals; his studies were very intense, so after dinner each day, he was confined to the study to review his coursework.

Finally, amid intense revision, the finals ended! Huo Jiantian officially started his winter break!

Since there was still some time before the new year, Huo Junmo particularly hired a tutor to come to the house for remedial lessons for Huo Jiantian! All day at home, it was quite peaceful, and the atmosphere was very good.

Days went by peacefully like this, as time went on, Ling Yueyue’s belly gradually grew.

One afternoon, feeling cooped inside, Ling Yueyue asked the babysitter to take Tiantian out shopping together.

While they were shopping cheerfully, suddenly the phone in her pants pocket rang.

Ling Yueyue took out her phone, glanced at the caller display, saw it was from home, and thought the butler must have an urgent matter, so she answered and put it to her ear, "Hello!"

As soon as the call connected, an anxious voice came from the other side, "Madam! Where are you now? How long before you’re back?"

"What’s the matter? Did something happen to Tiantian?" Hearing the butler’s anxious tone, Ling Yueyue immediately thought of Huo Jiantian.

"No! It’s... it’s... it’s...!" The butler said several ’it’s’ in a row but still didn’t continue.

Ling Yueyue furrowed her brow, puzzled, asking, "What is it?"

The butler stuttered for a while, finally saying awkwardly, "It’s... it’s Miss Nan... Miss Nan came!"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow, "Nan Jinning?"

The butler nodded, "Yes! It’s her! Before receiving instructions from sir and madam, I didn’t dare let her in, so I’ve kept her outside! But, she cried, shouted, and caused a commotion outside, and the neighbors surrounded to watch! I’m afraid it might not look good, affecting sir and madam’s reputation, so I let her in! She’s sitting on the couch watching TV now!"

Ling Yueyue sneered, "She’s really shameless. Last time, Huo Junmo had already spoken so plainly, and she still has the face to come?"

The butler said helplessly, "Miss Nan just came asking for sir! Judging from her tone, she might have already gone to sir’s office and probably not found sir, so she thinks sir is at home! What should we do now? Should we call sir?"

"Just let her sit at home for now; don’t bother with anything else, leave handling it to me and Huo Junmo!" After saying that, and upon the butler nodding in agreement, Ling Yueyue hung up the phone.

After hanging up with the butler, Ling Yueyue dialed Huo Junmo’s cell number.

As soon as the call connected, Huo Junmo answered immediately, with his anxious voice coming through, "What’s up? Is there anywhere uncomfortable? Need to go to the hospital?"

Hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "I’m perfectly healthy now, no discomfort? I say, you hope I’m unwell, don’t you? I call you and you curse that I’m not well!"

"Uh...!" Sounding embarrassed by Ling Yueyue’s teasing, Huo Junmo simply stayed silent.

Seeing Huo Junmo fall silent, Ling Yueyue asked, "Where are you now?"

Huo Junmo replied, "I’m outside meeting a partner, what’s up?"

Ling Yueyue asked again, "Did you know Nan Jinning came to Jin City?"

Huo Junmo asked puzzledly, "She came to Jin City? I didn’t know!"

Ling Yueyue said, "I’m out shopping now! Just got a call from the butler at home, saying Nan Jinning arrived in Jin City and is at our house now! According to the butler, she should have gone to your company to find you, probably not finding you there and thinking you’re at home!"

Huo Junmo explained, "I didn’t go to the office today, been out all day, the office people don’t know my whereabouts, must be thinking I didn’t go today! Anyway, I’m wrapping up my meeting soon, where are you? Find a spot and wait for me, I’ll come find you after I’m done!"

Ling Yueyue declined, "No need, go ahead with your things! It’s not worth delaying real work for Nan Jinning! I’m almost done shopping too, heading back with the babysitter and Tiantian now!"

Huo Junmo emphasized seriously, "I’m not doing it for her, it’s for you!"

Hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue felt warmth in her heart, smiling, "Alright, I know you’re doing it for me, you’re worried I’ll be bullied by her, right? But rest assured, in this world, no one who can bully me, Ling Yueyue, has been born yet! No need to worry about me, focus on your meeting, I’m hanging up now!"
