Chapter 1200: Chapter 1242: Love Rival

"Just lie down here for a bit, I’ll go to the kitchen and get some food prepared for you!" Saying this, Huo Junmo kissed Ling Yueyue on the forehead, stood up, and left the room.

Ling Yueyue lazily lay on the bed, feeling completely listless. Although she was awake, she didn’t feel like moving at all.

When Huo Junmo returned, Ling Yueyue was lying in bed with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling.

Huo Junmo walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked softly, "What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Ling Yueyue didn’t look at him; she continued staring at the ceiling, distractedly saying, "I’m thinking about you and Nan Jinning!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue lump him together with Nan Jinning, Huo Junmo’s expression turned serious and he said unhappily, "Why are you dragging me and Nan Jinning together? Our whole relationship stems from Jiansi; without Jiansi, I would have no relation to her!"

Seeing that Huo Junmo seemed angry, Ling Yueyue reached out her arms, hooked them around his neck, and grinned, deliberately asking, "What’s wrong? Don’t like being lumped together with her? Angry at me?"

With a straight face, Huo Junmo said earnestly, "I’m not angry with you, and I never will be. I’m just upset that you mentioned me and her together!"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow, "You’re upset, but Nan Jinning is very happy!"

When she still wouldn’t stop, Huo Junmo gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words, "Mrs. Huo...!"

Seeing Huo Junmo angry, Ling Yueyue not only didn’t stop but continued to speak recklessly, "Am I wrong? Look, she came all the way from Du City for you, probably planning to spend New Year’s here! She’s gone out of her way for you; all she’s thinking about is you! Look at your heartless face; she must be so heartbroken watching you!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue still wouldn’t stop, Huo Junmo couldn’t be bothered to be angry anymore and raised an eyebrow, with a half-smile, asking, "So you’re suggesting I should have feelings for her?"

Hearing his words, Ling Yueyue wasn’t angry either and countered, "Would you dare?"

Without hesitation, Huo Junmo decisively answered, "Of course I wouldn’t dare!"

After his response, Ling Yueyue’s face bloomed into a smile brighter than flowers, satisfied, "Good thing you answered ’wouldn’t dare,’ if you answered ’would dare,’ watch what I’d do to you!"

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow, "What would you do?"

Ling Yueyue smirked, "You can try, and you’ll find out!"

"Ha ha...!" Huo Junmo chuckled dryly, not daring to continue Ling Yueyue’s topic.

Ling Yueyue asked, "You’ve probably met Nan Jinning already, right?"

Huo Junmo nodded, gently saying, "Mm, I’ve met her! When I returned just now, she greeted me at the door! Luckily, you called to let me know she was coming, or I definitely would’ve been shocked! But I was prepared for it, though Tiantian was startled!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue sourly said, "Tch! Really acting like the lady of the house, actually greeting you at the door!"

"Tiantian and Tiantian obviously don’t welcome her! Especially Tiantian, she seems to know her and treat her like an enemy, always likes to throw things at her when she’s not paying attention!" Thinking of the scene when he came home, he still found it amusing.

Just after returning home, Tiantian got out of the car and upon seeing Nan Jinning immediately asked why she was here again! Looking upset, making Nan Jinning so embarrassed she was almost furious.

Later, inside, Tiantian was running around playing in the house! Nan Jinning tried to greet her, but she ignored it!

Every time she wasn’t paying attention, Tiantian would throw her toys at her! Though a child’s strength is small, it didn’t hurt, but for Nan Jinning it was definitely humiliating. She was obviously furious but couldn’t explode.

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, who would welcome a woman trying to steal their dad! But Tiantian did great, she deserves praise!"

Listening to her, Huo Junmo couldn’t help but roll his eyes, speechless, "Do you really teach kids like this?"

Ling Yueyue pouted, confidently saying, "What? I think I teach very well; look at Tiantian, she’s only a little more than a year old and can already sense who the enemy is. This sharp intuition, you should thank me for teaching her so well!"

Huo Junmo said helplessly, "Alright, alright, my dear wife, you’ve taught her very well! I’m grateful you gave me such a lively, cute, and smart child! Now, you should get out of bed; it’s about time to eat! If you’re hungrier, the baby in your belly will protest!"

Ling Yueyue squinted, sweetly saying, "Wait for me, I want you to go down with me!"

"Okay! I’ll wait here for you!" Huo Junmo couldn’t help but reach out and touch Ling Yueyue’s messy hair, smiling and nodding his agreement.

"I’m going to freshen up now!" Ling Yueyue smiled sweetly, carefully got out of bed, walked to the bathroom, freshened up and then walked out, reaching toward Huo Junmo.

Huo Junmo took one look at her hand, knowing well what to do, and reached out his hand, holding hers tightly.

Ling Yueyue pulled Huo Junmo up, domineeringly saying, "During the time Nan Jinning is here, we have to be as loving as possible, and you have to be even gentler and more considerate to me than usual, I want her to be envious to death, see if she dares to come here again to ask for it!"

Huo Junmo obediently replied, "I willingly cooperate with the boss lady! Whatever the boss lady says goes, I’ll definitely do as I’m told!"

"Good boy!" Ling Yueyue sweetly smoothed Huo Junmo’s handsome face with her free hand, then she and Huo Junmo walked hand in hand out of the room.

After leaving the room, the two walked hand in hand down the stairs.

Originally, Ling Yueyue thought Nan Jinning would definitely come to greet them first when they were going down! Unexpectedly, as they got halfway down the stairs, they saw a scene that made Ling Yueyue laugh and cry.

Nan Jinning was sitting on the living room sofa, playing with her phone while watching TV!

Meanwhile, Tiantian was holding toys running all around the living room! Every time she ran behind Nan Jinning, she would forcefully throw the toy at Nan Jinning.

Making Nan Jinning’s face turn red with rage, her stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent.

After being hit by Tiantian several times, Nan Jinning became more vigilant, always guarding against Tiantian, her eyes tracking Tiantian worried the toys would be thrown again.

Unfortunately, even with her eyes on Tiantian, Tiantian was still recklessly throwing the toys at her! At first, Nan Jinning was able to dodge smoothly.
