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

Chapter 1085: Chapter 1127: Ignorant of One’s Place

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue immediately sensed something was off. She looked sharply at Ling’s father, who was standing to the side, and questioned sternly, ”I ask you, when did you meet him? Did you go to see him? Why did you look for him?”

Although this father was better than her mother in many ways, it was precisely because he was too timid and always obeyed her mother unquestioningly that it was only natural for him to do things at her mother’s command.

Under Yueyue’s piercing gaze, Ling’s father glanced away guiltily and stammered, ”I... I went to see him for nothing! I just wanted to ask about your relationship and ensure he takes good care of you!”

Watching Ling’s father’s demeanor, Yueyue knew he was lying but chose not to expose him. She continued, ”Then how did you find out his identity?”

Ling’s father responded truthfully, ”I... I accidentally saw it in a magazine! It had an introduction about him! Although I don’t know many words, I could identify him by asking with the photo of him in the magazine!”

After hearing Ling’s father’s explanation, the doubts that had been lingering in Yueyue’s mind were finally resolved.

No wonder Huo Junmo always said inexplicable things to her! She had suspected he might know something! It turned out she had long known her parents on their wedding day were impostors! Yet he never exposed her lies.

And his attitude toward her began to change after her father met him!

What exactly did her father say to him that day? It seemed there was no truth to be found here; she could only wait to slowly question Huo Junmo back in the room.

”Father-in-law, Mother-in-law!” Although Ling’s father and mother’s behavior was quite annoying, Huo Junmo still politely addressed them.

The titles ’Father-in-law’ and ’Mother-in-law’ brought joy to Ling’s father and mother.

Huo Junmo sincerely said, ”Father-in-law, I’m sorry for hiding my relationship with Yueyue that day, but I...” Just as he was about to explain, Ling’s father interrupted, ”No worries, I don’t blame you, no need to apologize to me, really no need!” He sneaked a glance at Ling Yueyue, afraid she might catch onto something from Huo Junmo’s words!

Though he tried to stop it quickly, Ling Yueyue could still discern the underlying meaning in Huo Junmo’s words.

It dawned on her that when they first met, her father didn’t know Huo Junmo was her husband! Since he didn’t know Huo Junmo was her husband, why did he seek him out?

Anyway, whatever it was, it certainly wasn’t anything good.

As Ling Yueyue pondered in confusion, the eldest sister, who had been standing beside Ling’s father, suddenly ran over to Huo Jiantian, squeezing Yueyue aside and linking arms with Huo Junmo with a sweet smile, ”Brother-in-law, I’m Dajie, the eldest sister of my sister. You can call me Dajie too!”

Dajie’s action made Ling Yueyue frown tightly, showing displeasure.

”Dajie, come here, what are you doing?” Noticing Yueyue seemed angry, Ling’s mother hurriedly beckoned Dajie over.

Before, she had never shown Yueyue a kind face, treating her as if she was never part of the family!

But now it was different! Since Yueyue married a wealthy man, she had to treat her better, sweet-talk her, or how else would she willingly give them money to spend!

In Ling’s mother’s mind, her calculative plans were clattering away.

Dajie stomped her foot, pouted, and coyly said, ”Mom, I’m just bonding with Brother-in-law! I’m happy to see Brother-in-law for the first time!”

”...!” Ling’s mother started to speak but swallowed her words back! She couldn’t help it, these children were her treasures, and no matter what they did, she could never bring herself to scold or hit even once! She spoiled them completely, only wanting to give them the best of everything she had!

Pushed aside by Dajie, Ling Yueyue’s face was extremely unsightly, turning completely ashen!

Just as she was about to explode, Huo Jiantian, who had been silent at the side, spoke up, ”Dad, this older sister is so disgusting, look at her, her clothes are filthy, her face is grimy, and her hair is greasy! Dad, could she be sick or something? If she touched you, would you get infected?”

Upon Huo Jiantian’s words, Dajie’s face instantly turned alternating shades of green and white, utterly mortified!

On the contrary, Ling Yueyue, who had been fuming a moment ago, found her anger vanished upon hearing Huo Jiantian and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Actually, Dajie had clearly dressed up carefully today! She wore a white dress with blue floral prints! The dress itself was nice, but sadly, her skin was darkened from long exposure to the sun in the countryside, so when she smiled, only her stark white teeth could be seen! Plus, she didn’t like washing her hair, making it look greasy, and overall giving off the impression of a dirty village girl.

In fact, apart from being dark and not fond of cleanliness, Dajie had quite standard features! If she could groom herself well, lighten her skin, avoid the sun, and wash her hair regularly, she could be quite a beauty.

”You little brat, who do you think you are, daring to insult me!” Dajie, used to being bossy at home and school, had never been defied! Now being insulted by a mere five-year-old, she was so furious she raised her hand, about to punch Huo Jiantian without thinking twice.

”Dajie!” Ling’s mother exclaimed, reaching out to hold her back.

”Dajie!” Ling’s father was equally aghast, his eyes wide open, stunned and frozen in place.

Yueyue remained unflustered, maintaining an air of calm!

She knew, with Huo Junmo beside her, he wouldn’t let Dajie harm Tiantian! With a character like Dajie’s, accustomed to being domineering, she needed to face setbacks or else she’d never grow up.

As expected, just as Dajie swung her hand at Huo Jiantian, Huo Junmo pulled him back effortlessly, stepped in front of him, and easily seized Dajie’s wrist.

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow, displeased, ”What are you trying to do?”

”This brat insulted me, and I’m going to teach him a lesson!” Dajie struggled furiously, trying to free her hand from Huo Junmo’s grasp, but his grip was too strong for her to break free.

Expressionless, Huo Junmo coldly said, ”He’s my son, and if he’s to be disciplined, it’s not for you to do so!”
