Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1110: Sowing Discord

Huo Junmo pondered for a moment, then picked up a blue folder on the desk and handed it to Meng Bo, ”What I asked you to investigate is in here. Remember, I need you to investigate this thoroughly. I want to know every detail clearly!”

Meng Bo took the blue folder from Huo Junmo, opened it, and glanced at it casually. When he saw the contents, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Huo Junmo in disbelief, ”This...!”

Huo Junmo’s expression remained unchanged, ”You weren’t mistaken! It’s exactly what’s in there. Investigate it thoroughly. I need to know as soon as possible!”

”Got it. I’ll instruct someone to handle it right away!” Meng Bo nodded, closed the folder, and turned to leave.

After Meng Bo left and the office door was closed, Huo Junmo leaned back in his chair, one hand on the armrest of the leather seat, the other playing with a pen. A mysterious glimmer flashed in his deep eyes, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking!

.........

Due to Ling Yueyue’s pregnancy, Huo Junmo finished his work early at the company and went home! The task of picking up Tiantian from school was left to the family driver.

Actually, before, it was also the family driver who picked up Tiantian from school. Ever since Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue started planning to get married, Huo Junmo took on the role of the driver, picking up Ling Yueyue and then going to pick up Tiantian afterward!

After Ling Yueyue got pregnant, everything seemed to revert to how it was before! The task of picking up and dropping off Huo Jiantian returned to the driver! To take care of Ling Yueyue and since her school schedule was variable, Huo Junmo also assigned a driver just for her.

After returning home early, Huo Junmo sat in the living room watching TV with Ling Yueyue on the sofa!

Ling Yueyue lay on the sofa without a care, her head resting on Huo Junmo’s thigh. Meanwhile, Nan Jinning sat on the sofa next to them, her gaze not on the TV at all, glaring angrily at Ling Yueyue. Her eyes were almost popping out.

Ling Yueyue could clearly feel the murderous glare from Nan Jinning on her, but she chose to ignore it directly, rubbing her head lightly against Huo Junmo’s thigh, she coyly said, ”Mr. Huo, I want some grapes!”

”Okay!” Huo Junmo replied softly, leaning over to pick up grapes from the coffee table in front, peeling them, and then feeding them to Ling Yueyue’s mouth.

Ling Yueyue opened her mouth wide and ate the grapes that Huo Junmo offered, then spat the grape seeds into Huo Junmo’s palm.

Huo Junmo threw the grape seeds into the trash bin and continued peeling grapes for Ling Yueyue.

Watching Huo Junmo serve Ling Yueyue like a servant, even spitting seeds into his hand, and she didn’t bother to move at all! Instantly, jealousy burned within Nan Jinning! If looks could kill, Ling Yueyue would have been pierced by a thousand arrows from her gaze by now.

Just as a bunch of grapes was about to be finished, Huo Jiantian came back with his school bag!

Seeing everyone at home, he immediately wasn’t happy, complaining, ”Dad, you’re obviously off work already? Why didn’t you pick me up from school and had Old Liu do it instead?”

Before Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue could speak, Nan Jinning interjected, ”Your dad came home very early today! Do you know why he didn’t pick you up from school? It’s because your stepmom is pregnant now, and soon you’ll have a little brother or sister to take away your dad’s love! So... you’d better get used to going to and from school by yourself!”

As soon as Nan Jinning finished speaking, both Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue frowned.

Huo Junmo said displeasedly, ”What nonsense are you spouting? Are these the kind of words an aunt should say?”

Ling Yueyue said angrily, ”Nan Jinning, what do you mean by that? Are you deliberately trying to sow discord between me and Tiantian?”

Nan Jinning snorted coldly, speaking righteously, ”Did I say anything wrong? Are you not pregnant? Didn’t brother-in-law come home early to accompany you today? When you were lying on his thigh just now, didn’t he feed you grapes one by one, even throwing the seeds you spat out into the trash for you?”

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue was infuriated and was about to retort when Huo Jiantian asked softly, ”Dad, toxic stepmother, is what Aunt said true? Am I really going to have a baby brother or sister soon?”

Ling Yueyue looked at Huo Jiantian, only to see him looking at her sadly, with a cautious and tentative expression, her heart couldn’t help but soften. She sat up from the sofa, reached out to pull his wrist, bringing him closer, then rubbed his hair with a gentle voice, ”Tiantian, I do have a little sister in my belly! But don’t worry, even if there’s one more sister, it won’t take away our love for you! Your dad and I still love you. We just want to give you a companion so that someone can play with you most of the time!”

Huo Jiantian looked at Ling Yueyue timidly, asking uncertainly, ”Really?”

”...!” Ling Yueyue was about to respond but hadn’t opened her mouth yet when Nan Jinning interjected coldly again, ”How could it be true? You’re not even her biological child, not one she carried for ten months! How could someone else’s child be as dear as one’s own? I think she’s just scheming to marry your dad and then have a brother to fight for your inheritance! Once the baby in her belly is born, not only your dad but even the Huo Tian Group will be taken by them! You’ll be left to be an orphan by then! In this house, you’ll just be an outsider! You...!”

Before Nan Jinning could finish, Huo Junmo, unable to tolerate it, spoke up, ”Enough! As an aunt, as an elder, at this moment, you should be saying words that befit your status! But instead of comforting Tiantian, you are deliberately uttering fictitious things to provoke him! Is this what an elder should do? If you dare to say such sensationalist things in front of him again, pack your bags and leave immediately!”

”I...!” After being ruthlessly scolded by Huo Junmo, Nan Jinning swallowed her words forcefully, her face turning blue and white with anger, but she didn’t dare to utter another word of provocation.

Ling Yueyue glanced at Nan Jinning, unwilling to pay any attention to her. She pulled Tiantian to sit between her and Huo Junmo, speaking gently, ”Tiantian, even if you don’t believe me, you should trust your dad! Even if the child in my belly is born, you will both be your dad’s children. He loves both of you equally, so you can rest assured!”
