Chapter 1198: Chapter 1240: Throwing Herself Into His Arms

Huo Junmo was still somewhat uneasy asking, "Are you sure you don’t want me to find you and come back with you?"

"There’s really no need for that. Am I, your wife, such a useless person? Rest assured! No one will gain any advantage from me! Just focus on your work, okay? That’s it, I’m hanging up now. Bye!" With that, she didn’t wait for Huo Junmo to respond and hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yueyue led the nanny and Tiantian home by car.

When she returned home, Nan Jinning was sitting on the sofa in the hall, legs crossed, leisurely eating the fruit from the coffee table while watching TV. Her suitcase was placed beside the sofa.

Being too engrossed in watching TV, Nan Jinning didn’t realize there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind the sofa.

Seeing that Nan Jinning hadn’t noticed her presence at all, Ling Yueyue snorted coldly, walking towards the sofa and sneering, "Oh, Miss Cousin, what kind of wind blew you here today?"

Hearing Ling Yueyue’s voice, Nan Jinning paused her fruit-eating motion, slowly turned her head, glanced at Ling Yueyue, then traced a line down her face, finally focusing on her swollen belly.

Realizing Nan Jinning was staring at her belly, Ling Yueyue intentionally pushed her originally not very large belly forward, allowing Nan Jinning to see it even more clearly.

Staring at Ling Yueyue’s swollen belly, Nan Jinning’s eyes sparked, "You’re pregnant again?"

Ling Yueyue sat down on the sofa next to Nan Jinning, deliberately feigning surprise, "Ah, you noticed! You know, your brother-in-law is in his prime right now, and I’m only twenty-two. At our age, we’re at the honey-moon phase! As a young couple, spending every night together, pregnancy is a natural thing! What’s more, your brother-in-law said he wants me to have another one. By then, our family will be perfect!"

Although Ling Yueyue’s words weren’t explicit, she was blatantly telling Nan Jinning about how intense their nights were.

And Nan Jinning naturally began to imagine the scene of Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue embracing each other passionately! Jealous flames burned fiercely in her heart.

Seeing Nan Jinning’s eyes spewing fire, appearing on the brink of madness with jealousy, Ling Yueyue felt a sense of satisfaction inwardly and didn’t conceal it on her face, smirking as she asked, "I wonder what business you have today, Miss Cousin? If I recall correctly, Mr. Huo seemed to have told you all, not to come to our house unless there’s something important!"

Listening to Ling Yueyue’s words, Nan Jinning became furious, "Since when did this become your house? This is my sister’s and brother-in-law’s home! I came to see my brother-in-law, to see my nephew, what’s wrong with that? Let me tell you, we are on winter break now. I already told my aunt and uncle that I’m staying here for the winter break. I’ll leave when school starts! I brought my luggage, and don’t you think of kicking me out, I won’t leave even if you try!"

Ling Yueyue raised her eyebrows, sneering, "Winter break? Your aunt and uncle agreed, but your brother-in-law and I didn’t! Let me be frank with you, you’re not welcome here. If you’re here, none of us will be happy. If you want to save face, you’d better leave before I forcefully kick you out. Otherwise, I’ll have the servants throw both you and your luggage out!"

Nan Jinning snorted, furious, "Hmph! Go ahead and try to throw me out, you shameless little vixen, taking what’s mine, benefiting without cause! Let me tell you, my brother-in-law became what he is today because of my sister’s and brother-in-law’s joint efforts! My sister gave her life for my brother-in-law, and yet here you are, snatching him away when he’s successful! There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world! Don’t think your child will get my brother-in-law’s inheritance. Even if it’s a son, it won’t matter! Everything my brother-in-law has belongs to Tiantian, don’t even think of taking it!"

Ling Yueyue retorted without hesitation, "This is Huo Family property, nothing to do with you! Regardless of who Huo Junmo decides to give it to, you have no right to interfere! However, there is one point you mentioned correctly, all that Huo Junmo has now was earned through Jiansi’s efforts alongside him. Although Jiansi is gone, her contribution is immutable! Therefore, out of her memory, I can agree to let you stay here! But, let me warn you, me allowing you to stay doesn’t mean you’re the mistress of this house, free to do as you please! You’d better behave yourself, don’t harbor any malicious intentions, or else, don’t blame me for being rude!"

"Hmph, do you really think you’re someone? I’ll stay here, and it’s none of your business!" Nan Jinning disdainfully shot Ling Yueyue a glare, then leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and resumed eating fruit.

Ling Yueyue looked her over from head to toe, stood up, and without expression, told the butler next to her, "Butler, find two servants to tend to Miss Cousin, remember, they must serve her well without any mishaps, or they’ll be sent packing!" Ling Yueyue deliberately emphasized her tone when saying ’serve well.’

The butler wasn’t a fool, naturally understanding Ling Yueyue’s underlying message, quickly nodded, "Alright, I’ll find two people to carefully attend to Miss Cousin!"

The butler understood Ling Yueyue’s underlying meaning, and Nan Jinning naturally also picked up on it, quickly saying, "I don’t need any personal care!"

Ling Yueyue replied with a forced smile, "A guest is a guest, we as hosts should take good care of you, no need to be polite with us!"

Nan Jinning impatiently responded, "I said I don’t need it, so I don’t need it! Ling Yueyue, don’t think that I don’t know, you just want to have two people monitoring me! I, Nan Jinning, am not a fool, I won’t let you control me!"

Towards Nan Jinning’s words, Ling Yueyue didn’t avoid, directly nodded, admitting, "I do want people to monitor you closely! Don’t think I’m unaware of your little schemes! For an adversary coveting my husband, now living brazenly in my house, if I don’t have someone watch you, and you take advantage of my pregnancy, sneaking into my husband’s bed, then who will I cry to!? I, Ling Yueyue, am not a fool, I won’t let such a thing happen!"

Being exposed by Ling Yueyue, Nan Jinning’s face flushed red, trembling as she pointed at Ling Yueyue, stammering, "You... you... you’re talking nonsense, don’t slander me! I, Nan Jinning, am not such a woman!"
