One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 687 - 685: Unusual Gaze

After Yuan Yumeng had arranged everything properly, she dared to go downstairs. As she reached the living room, she heard the woman’s slightly cold voice coming from inside.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for taking care of the Ye Family these past few years. I don’t know how to repay you. Whatever I have, as long as you ask, anything is possible."

"..."

It was a voice that Yuan Yumeng found somewhat familiar, but a tone she was not accustomed to.

In her impression, Ye Ruo was a cold ice queen who wouldn’t say such things to anyone, except, of course... apart from Ye Zheng.

But Ye Zheng was dead and would never come back to life.

She didn’t know what Huo Junting had done for the Ye Family over the years to make Ye Ruo speak these words with such sincerity.

Yuan Yumeng waited at the door for a long time without entering. She was waiting for Huo Junting’s response, but he remained silent—

In an instant, her patience wore thin, and she forced herself to go inside.

When Ye Ruo saw who had entered, a flash of astonishment couldn’t be concealed from her face, as if she hadn’t expected to see her here, this woman who had once taken away her beloved.

At the same time, she wondered, hadn’t they divorced? So why was she still living with Huo Junting?

Or was the marriage not yet over?

At this moment, Huo Junting suddenly spoke, "Ye Ruo, this is Yu Meng, you should know each other."

"...Yes, we know each other." Ye Ruo nodded, then stood up and extended a hand, "Long time no see, how have you been?"

Yuan Yumeng looked at that hand, feeling a mix of emotions. She glanced at the cold and stern man sitting on the sofa, then slowly extended her hand to shake it.

Ye Ruo’s hand was unlike those of ordinary girls; it had calluses, the result of years of wielding knives and guns.

She had heard Ye Xu say before that besides being Ye Zheng’s adopted daughter, Ye Ruo also had another identity as Ye Zheng’s bodyguard.

She suddenly became curious about what Ye Ruo had been doing these three years after Ye Zheng’s death.

But the next second, she got the answer. Ye Ruo sat back down, and for the first time, a rare smile flickered across her cold face, "Mr. Huo, if you have nothing else, I won’t disturb you any longer."

"No worries," Huo Junting replied succinctly, "Miss Ye, have you had breakfast? If not, have some here, and we’ll head to the company together later."

Another question mark popped into Yuan Yumeng’s mind. Why were they going to the company together?

Ye Ruo originally intended to refuse, but seeing Yuan Yumeng standing there dumbfounded, she immediately dismissed the idea and agreed graciously, "Sure, thank you, Mr. Huo."

After that, Huo Junting and Ye Ruo walked into the dining room, leaving Yuan Yumeng in the living room.

She didn’t know when their relationship had gotten so good.

Her mind was filled with so many questions that it drowned her entirely—

Finally, as they were about to leave for the company, she suddenly asked, "Can I come too?"

After speaking, she clearly saw the man’s eyebrows subtly furrow, half-surprised and half-puzzled.

Afraid he would refuse, Yuan Yumeng quickly added, "I want to learn and observe."

In fact, that was the truth. The Huo Family had always been a leader in the venture capital industry. As a new graduate, going to observe would undoubtedly be beneficial.

In the car, none of the three spoke, the compartment filled with silence.

Yuan Yumeng would occasionally glance at Ye Ruo, only to often catch her secretly looking at the man, with a hint of timidity and also a bit of melancholy—

It was as if she wasn’t looking at Huo Junting, but rather through him at someone else.

Yuan Yumeng’s mind cleared in an instant, her eyes widening suddenly, so she had feelings for Huo Junting...
