“Huh?”
Lu Zhaoyang looked up at him incredulously and touched his forehead. “Ah, you don’t have a fever!”
Did the sun rise from the west today?
“What is it?” Huo Yunting smiled thinly. “Do you want me to punish me? I wouldn’t mind satisfying your wish.”
“No! I don’t!”
She was not masochistic.
It was already late. Lu Zhaoyang brushed her teeth and went to bed early.
In the following days, she focused on taking care of herself and her baby while keeping up with Huo Chen’s condition. Song Shou told her that he had been busy training every day and no longer succumbed to alcohol, as though he had resumed his routine of old.
She was relieved to hear that, but there was still the matter of old Mrs Huo’s passing to tell Huo Chen.
He would need to know, sooner or later.
Huo Yunting understood her vexation and said gently, “Let me tell him.”
It was his fault anyway. He failed to protect his grandma.
“Alright.”
Huo Yunting booked a luxurious private room at the Golden City and invited Huo Chen, Lu Bai and Yan Se.
It was Lu Zhaoyang’s idea.
She hoped that the setting would help ease their spirits.
She was also afraid that news of old Mrs Huo’s passing would be the last straw for Huo Chen, who was still dealing with Wen He’s death.
The Golden City was as dazzling as always, a place that offered all the pleasures that money could buy.
“Brother Ting, I heard that they hired a new group of top quality dancers here. Why don’t we try them out?” Huo Li suggested.
Lu Zhaoyang chuckled coldly. “I’ve recorded what you just said. Tomorrow I’ll let Yazhi listen to this.”
“…” Huo Li quickly promptly for mercy. “I was wrong! Have mercy, my lady, and please forgive me!”
Lu Zhaoyang hummed and narrowed her eyes dangerously. She looked at Huo Yunting and asked, “What do you think?”
Huo Yunting could feel the danger behind the question and replied solemnly, “I’ll follow your decision!”
“Very good.”
Lu Zhaoyang nodded happily with the satisfactory answer. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her that made her eyes twinkle in amusement.
“I have visited the Golden City for a few times but have never seen the dancers here. Since Huo Li remends it, we should try them out.”
She looked at Huo Yunting and Huo Li and said, “Let me know if any of the ladies caught your eye.”
Huo Li’s eyes widened. “Do you mean…”
Was she trying to find another woman for her husband?
Lu Zhaoyang smiled sweetly and said, “I will allow you to bring that lady home, so that she may teach you how to… dance.”
Huo Li’s face twitched while Huo Yunting looked surprised. The latter smiled and put his arm around Lu Zhaoyang’s waist. He shook his finger to reject the idea.
“Thank you, but I should let Huo Li enjoy this luxury himself. After all, as your husband, I am bound by my vow of chastity.”
“…”
Huo Li was utterly impressed.
Brother Ting really had a way with words.
“I’m glad you’re aware.”
Lu Zhaoyang gave him a look of approval and asked Huo Li to arrange for the dancers.
When they arrived at their private room, the rest of the guests were already there. The atmosphere in the room was awkward, however.
Yan Se simply ignored the awkwardness and snacked on some trail mix and a lollipop, enjoying herself.
Lu Zhaoyang greeted them one by one, and then jokingly said, “I asked Huo Li to get us some dancers. If you see anyone that catches your eye, let me know and I’ll get the bill.”
Before the two men could respond, Yan Se crunched her lollipop and threw a look at her. “Hey, that’s not fair! We are all your guests, so why do they get special treatment but not me?”
