One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 684 - 682 Grievance

In an instant, both Yuan Yumeng and Lin Zheng were stunned, their minds short-circuiting—

Especially Yuan Yumeng; she never imagined he would also come over. Why hasn’t he gone to work yet? Why?

"Um..." Lin Zheng grinned cheekily and said, "Actually, it’s just that... Meng Meng, you should tell him yourself!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

With that, Lin Zheng shirked the responsibility and slipped aside.

Soon, the awkwardness in the room was almost tangible; he really couldn’t stand it, so with a smile, he added, "Meng Meng, I’ll head back to my room first. You have a good chat with big brother!"

Before leaving, he glanced at the man standing at the door with an arrogant and indifferent expression, thinking it’s better to forget about it! Even if he were extraordinary, he wasn’t someone Lin Zheng could handle, since he already had feelings for someone else.

He also took a look at the still-stunned little girl, hoping she’d take care of herself!

As a close friend, he’d done all he could; matters of the heart need to be resolved by oneself.

After Lin Zheng left, the whole room was enveloped in an eerie silence, indescribable, just leaving a chill running down one’s spine.

Yuan Yumeng was still holding the clothes she was folding. Huo Junting glanced at the clothes and then closed the door, walked in directly, and asked with an aggressive gaze, "Where are you planning to go?"

"Go... go to the hotel." Yuan Yumeng, why are you flustered? Don’t panic!

"So, you’re going to the hotel." The man’s tone was calm, yet impossible to ignore. "What did Lin Zheng mean by what he said earlier?"

Yuan Yumeng’s heart skipped a beat, almost tearing the clothes in her hand. "He was just talking nonsense, he’s like that, sometimes his mouth runs wild, rarely saying anything true."

"If that’s the case, why do you like him?" He glanced again at the clothes in her hands, "Stop pulling, they’ll rip if you keep at it."

"..."

Yuan Yumeng’s heart was in turmoil. By the time she gathered her thoughts, the man had moved beside her, just like last night, standing behind her. The warmth of his breath on her neck as he spoke made her feel ticklish—

She instinctively moved aside, still clutching the clothing in her hands, as if it was her only lifeline.

"Matters of the heart are hard to explain. Even if he might be unreliable, he treats me pretty well."

Yes, just like that, stay calm, don’t be afraid!

Having been in business for so long, Huo Junting had developed a keen eye and could spot a lie immediately. Moreover, this little girl had always been incoherent when lying since she was young, so how could he not know?

"Oh, I see. Then make sure he doesn’t talk nonsense in the future; after all, you can’t joke about these things—"

Yuan Yumeng thought he believed her, relieved to have dodged a bullet, just glad he believed her.

But the relief lasted less than three seconds before she felt the hot breath again behind her. It was like a net ensnaring her effortlessly, leaving her unsure of what to do, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Directly telling him to back off would seem deliberate, like revealing there’s indeed something to hide.

But with him so close, she genuinely felt uncomfortable, every cell in her body nearly intoxicated.

All she could do was helplessly pray in her heart, Huo Junting, please go away! Please go away!

However, the man not only didn’t leave but also reached out to take the clothes from her hands, "It’s Lin Zheng who should leave, not you."

"...You were just angry with me." Yuan Yumeng said in a low voice.

She hadn’t realized it herself, but when she said this, she looked particularly aggrieved, her mouth subconsciously pouting.

Huo Junting’s heart softened immediately, "You clearly didn’t consider me one of your own just now. Shouldn’t I be upset?"

"You shouldn’t! You just shouldn’t!"

Anyway, she just felt wronged as if she’d never been so aggrieved before.
