“Brother Yunting, it’s been awhile.” She smiled warmly as she approached him.
“I don’t need a shoulder massage,” he said dismissively, feeling almost repulsed by Mo Shan’s presence.
Her perfume made his nose itch.
Mo Shan awkwardly stopped in her tracks but continued to talk conversationally, “Brother Yunting, I haven’t seen Zhaoyang in a long time too. I heard that she now works for a small company instead, called Ge Yu or something, is that right?”
The question alerted Huo Yunting. He finally looked her in the eye with a touch of suspicion.
Why would she suddenly bring up Lu Zhaoyang?
“If you’re interested in Ge Yu, you can work for them too.” He put down his cup and started to move his mouse around, pretending to work on his computer.
“I don’t think I will do well in a competitive environment. Your sister has the smarts, though. She must be thriving there.”
Mo Shan continued talking, which made him think that she was trying to hint at something.
Something was not right. He recalled all of Mo Shan’s past transgressions against Lu Zhaoyang.
This incident with the Golden Territory project... Could she have a hand in it?
Mo Shan did not seem to notice his rising suspicion, but decided to stop mentioning Lu Zhaoyang. Just speaking of the woman irritated her. “Brother Yunting, let’s go for dinner tonight...”
Slam!
Huo Yunting’s mouse landed by her feet. She jumped back in surprise and stared wide-eyed at him.
“Brother Yunting, what... what is it?”
He stood up from his seat and took one step after another toward her. The smile on his face was pleasing enough but for some reason it gave her the chills.
“Sorry, what were you saying about tonight?”
Mo Shan’s pulse raced as she watched him get closer to her.
Hearing his words made her heart leapt — was he finally beginning to realize that she was the one for him?
She was so nervous that by the time he was right in front of her, she abruptly closed her eyes.
“Aha.” Huo Yunting chuckled condescendingly. “Too ashamed to look at me?”
When the kiss did not arrive, Mo Shan opened her eyes and finally realized that something was wrong. She asked numbly, “What... what do you mean?”
“Mo Shan, do you want to confess, or should I present the evidence to you?” His lips arched into a cold smile. “Do you really think that anyone can enter Thunderbolt Corp’s office unnoticed? That anyone can touch my computers without any consequences?”
Evidence?
He found evidence?!
Mo Shan stared at his dark expression and started to sputter guiltily.
“I... Brother Yunting... I...”
Huo Yunting took out his phone, threw a flat glance at her, and made to call someone.
“Brother Yunting, don’t! I acted out of concern for you! I had to frame Lu Zhaoyang. To think that both of you...” She sobbed and pulled at his arm as she tried to explain herself. “I... I want to be with you. I don’t want to see you continue with this mistake. You and Lu Zhaoyang are siblings by name! You cannot be together...”
Huo Yunting’s eyes flashed in recognition. The woman had found out about that “secret” of his.
He effortlessly pushed her away and smiled maliciously.
“You have no say on what I do with my life.”
He went back to his seat with his phone still in his hand. “Go home and pack your things. I will see to it that the Mo family will be out of business in the next three days.”
He had never been the merciful type. An eye for an eye, with no exceptions!
