Chapter 968 - 1011: Getting the Marriage License Tomorrow
After arriving at the yard, just as Ling Yueyue had expected, no matter what Ling Yueyue said, Huo Jiantian would always contradict her. If Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue got a bit too close, he would stand right in the middle to separate them, occasionally casting Ling Yueyue a triumphant little glance, blatantly provoking her barely-contained fury.
Every time Huo Junmo lost his temper and twisted his ear, he would, just like he did in the restroom, pout and sing "Only Mom is Good in the World" with a grievance, leaving Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue both exasperated and amused, full of fire but unable to vent.
Under Huo Jiantian’s constant antics, they finally finished touring the garden and the three of them returned to the main house. Huo Jiantian sat on the sofa looking very pleased with the infuriating smirk on his lips.
Huo Junmo invited Ling Yueyue to sit down on the sofa, and with a smile, he asked, "Now that you understand my situation, do you still want to marry me?"
As soon as Huo Junmo asked the question, Huo Jiantian immediately looked at Ling Yueyue with expectant eyes!
He really hoped that, after all his mischief earlier, Ling Yueyue would retreat in the face of difficulties and not marry his dad!
Unfortunately, he was disappointed!
Ling Yueyue almost instantly, without even thinking, blurted out, "When I, Ling Yueyue, say something, I mean it! If I say I will marry you, then I will, as long as you agree, no difficulty can stop me from marrying you!"
Upon hearing Ling Yueyue’s bold declaration, Huo Jiantian’s little heart instantly sank.
In stark contrast, Huo Junmo’s smile slowly spread to his eyes as he gently said, "Since you’re not backing out, we’ll go to the civil affairs bureau for our marriage certificate tomorrow, and I will arrange the wedding at the earliest possible date!"
"Tomorrow!" Ling Yueyue was completely surprised that Huo Junmo was even more eager than she was, planning to get the certificate tomorrow! For a moment, she didn’t know how to react.
Huo Junmo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"No, no, no, of course not! We’re going to get it eventually anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we get it early or late! It’s better to get it early, then you won’t have a chance to back out!" Ling Yueyue unabashedly voiced her thoughts aloud.
When Huo Junmo agreed to marry her, she was afraid that he might have been impulsive and would regret it after calming down! Since they’ll get the certificate tomorrow, then it’s a done deal. He can’t back out! This is beneficial and harmless to her!
Seeing Ling Yueyue’s candid expression, a brief glimmer flashed in his smiling eyes.
Seeing that the two of them had settled on this, Huo Jiantian felt his young heart deeply wounded. He threw himself onto the sofa, yelling defiantly, "No, no, I don’t want Dad to marry this wicked woman. I want Sister Anxin to be my stepmom, I don’t like her, boohoo... I don’t want this!"
Huo Junmo ignored his tantrum, and instead, glanced at the time on his watch, saying, "It’s getting late, let me drive you home!"
Ling Yueyue looked at Huo Jiantian, still lying on the sofa, flailing and crying so pitifully, wondering if she should comfort him before leaving!
Seeing her hesitation, Huo Junmo casually raised an eyebrow, "Don’t worry about him, he’ll stop when he gets tired of crying!"
"Well... okay then!" Ling Yueyue forced a smile, finding the way this father and son duo interacted both amusing and puzzling.
She thought, Huo Junmo loves Huo Jiantian, but not in the spoiling way where he dotes on him like a fragile object, nor in an indulgent way!
Logically speaking, Huo Junmo should deeply love his deceased wife! After she gave birth to Huo Jiantian, she passed away without a chance to even see her child! In such situations, Huo Junmo should be doting on Huo Jiantian! But she felt it wasn’t the way she imagined!
Lying on the sofa still protesting, Huo Jiantian saw his father leave along with Ling Yueyue, and immediately forgot about crying. He jumped off the sofa in a hurry, chasing after them, "Dad, I want to go too, take me with you!"
Seeing that just moments ago he was crying so bitterly, and then drying his tears and acting as though nothing happened, Ling Yueyue just wanted to give Huo Jiantian a thumbs up and award him an Oscar for his acting!
Such good acting skills, wasted just like that, what a pity.
Huo Junmo walked to the garage, opened the passenger-side door, and just as Huo Jiantian was about to hop in, he grabbed him by the collar, pulling him out, "It’s already past seven. By eight, you need to shower and go to bed, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow! Therefore, you can’t come!"
"No, I want to come! I don’t want Dad and the wicked stepmom to be alone! If you guys make a little brother or sister for me, then I’ll be completely abandoned!" he said, sniffling, and in seconds, tears welled in his eyes.
Ling Yueyue’s mouth twitched as she glanced at Huo Junmo.
Not fazed by Huo Jiantian’s pitiful act, Huo Junmo just pretended not to see, lightly tossing him aside. He grabbed Ling Yueyue’s arm, guiding her to sit in the car. Then he circled around to the driver’s seat, started the vehicle, and drove off.
"Dad... Dad...!" In the rear-view mirror, Ling Yueyue could still see Huo Jiantian chasing after their car, all the while calling out for his dad!
Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but glance at Huo Junmo!
She was sure that he saw it too, just like she did! But Huo Junmo chose to ignore it, drove straight out of the villa, and left.
Not long after leaving the villa, Huo Junmo suddenly asked, "Where do you live?"
Ling Yueyue was taken aback, then promptly provided her address!
Huo Junmo lived in a high-end villa area, whereas Ling Yueyue stayed in a remote, affordable suburb!
It took nearly an hour to get from Huo Junmo’s place to Ling Yueyue’s home.
Ling Yueyue kept an eye on her surroundings the entire way. When they approached the street opposite her neighborhood, she quickly spoke up, "Here, you can stop here, crossing the street is my home. Your car is too luxurious, driving it in would cause a commotion! Plus, the houses there are old, the ground is uneven, and the roads are poor. We don’t want to damage your car! I’ll just walk in!"
"I’ll walk you in!" Huo Junmo parked the car in a spot, opened the door, and got out with Ling Yueyue.
Ling Yueyue quickly waved her hands in refusal, "No need, the road inside is really bad. I’m afraid... I’m afraid it might dirty your clothes!"
