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

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1162: She Gave You Some Benefits

”Your brother has already bought the train ticket. He’ll be on tonight’s train and should arrive at Jin City Railway Station by two in the afternoon tomorrow. Tell him where you’re staying so he can go directly to find you!” Unexpectedly, Ling Shenglan’s mother’s attitude and tone were very good and very patient.

Even though it was over the phone, Ling Shenglan could still sense the change in her mother’s attitude! For this change, Ling Shenglan couldn’t help but snort coldly in her heart.

It seems that her ’good sister-in-law’ is calculating in her mind, thinking that her big brother will get a lot of benefits from her this time, which is why she’s talking so politely! In the past, she wouldn’t even bother to talk to her, let alone take the initiative to answer her call.

Ling Shenglan shook her head, refused, and said, ”No need. I’ll go to the station to pick up my brother tomorrow! He’s spent nearly his entire life in the countryside and hasn’t had many chances to come over. I’m afraid he won’t find the place, and worried he won’t be willing to spend money on a taxi, so it’s better that I go and pick him up myself!”

”Fine, fine, fine! Let’s settle it like that then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now!” With that, after hearing Ling Shenglan’s response, her mother finally hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Ling Shenglan’s eyes narrowed, and her face turned particularly unpleasant.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, she only needs to wait patiently for one more night and morning to see her brother and find out how Yueyue has been living these past five years!

With that thought, Ling Shenglan clutched her phone tightly, hailed a taxi, and left.

......

After parting ways with Ling Shenglan, Ling Yueyue took a taxi back to the Huo Family Villa.

She didn’t call Driver Old Liu to pick her up because she didn’t want her aunt to think she was showing off after marrying someone.

As soon as Ling Yueyue arrived home, the phone in her pants pocket started ringing immediately.

She almost didn’t need to look at the caller ID to guess it was a call from Huo Junmo!

Sure enough, when she pulled the phone out, it was indeed a call from Huo Junmo!

Ling Yueyue answered the call, put the phone to her ear, and gently said, ”Hello!”

Immediately, Huo Junmo’s gentle voice came through the phone, ”Where are you now? Are you home?”

Ling Yueyue replied, ”I just got home! You don’t need to worry!”

Huo Junmo chuckled and said, ”Since you’re home, I’ll pick up Tiantian and come back! Originally, if you were still with your aunt, I was going to pick you up together!”

Ling Yueyue nodded and said, ”I’m already home. I was thinking about Tiantian, so I came back earlier! You can come back straight after work!”

”Okay! Good!” Huo Junmo responded softly. After chatting briefly with Ling Yueyue, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up with Huo Junmo, Ling Yueyue went upstairs to play with Tiantian! By this time, Tiantian had already woken up and was playing with age-appropriate toys in the nursery.

Ling Yueyue sent the nanny out and then stayed with Tiantian to play in the nursery!

When Tiantian saw Ling Yueyue return, she immediately smiled widely, crystal-clear drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, looking extremely cute!

Ling Yueyue smiled and shook her head, wiped the drool from her mouth, kissed her plump little cheek, then held her and sat on the bed to play with toys.

Ling Yueyue played with Tiantian for a long time until the nursery door was pushed open from the outside, and Huo Junmo’s tall figure appeared in the nursery. Only then did she shift her attention from Tiantian and sweetly smiled at Huo Junmo, ”You’re back?”

”Yeah! I came to find you as soon as I got home!” Huo Junmo nodded, walked to the bedside, and waved at Tiantian.

Tiantian smiled widely and waved her chubby little arms vigorously at Huo Junmo.

Huo Junmo took her from Ling Yueyue’s arms, sat on the bed, and picked up one of Tiantian’s favorite toys to play with her.

Seizing the moment while Tiantian was quietly playing with the toy, Huo Junmo asked without lifting his head, ”How was meeting with Aunt today?”

”...!” Ling Yueyue was silent for a moment, then said, ”I don’t know, indescribable feeling! It always felt like after not seeing each other for more than five years, she seemed to have completely changed! If I wasn’t sure she was my aunt, I’d think she was an imposter! She’s just too nice to me, so nice it’s unbelievable!”

Huo Junmo lightly tapped Ling Yueyue’s forehead, teasing, ”Isn’t it good she’s nice to you? You’re really hard to please!”

”If she’d always been nice to me, of course, I’d be happy! But before, when we lived together every day, she was just like that to me, and now after five years of not seeing each other, she’s suddenly nice, and I’m not used to it! I’ve been wondering if she has some plot since she returned this time, otherwise, why be so nice to me? No real kindness can exist without ulterior motives!” As she spoke, Ling Yueyue nodded firmly, fully agreeing with her assessment, ”Yes, that’s it; she must have some plot returning to find me!”

Seeing Ling Yueyue’s serious face, Huo Junmo couldn’t help but tap her forehead again, helplessly saying, ”What nonsense are you thinking? Someone being nice to you means they have a plot? Can’t you consider that maybe after these five years apart, she realized how important you were to her, so she changed her attitude?”

Ling Yueyue pursed her lips disdainfully, ”Huh...! She’s just my aunt, not my biological mom. No rule says an aunt must be nice to her niece! So, what does she have to feel guilty about?”

Hearing Ling Yueyue’s words, Huo Junmo paused his interaction with Tiantian, then quickly resumed, continuing to entertain Tiantian while casually saying, ”An aunt is also family! Before you met me, aside from your parents, she was the closest person to you! If she’s sincerely good to you, just accept and get along well! After all, she won’t stay long in Jin City; leave her with good memories before she leaves!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue suddenly stopped smiling and looked seriously at Huo Junmo.

Sensing Ling Yueyue’s gaze, Huo Junmo looked up at her, touched his face, and oddly asked, ”Why are you staring at me like that?”

Ling Yueyue looked suspiciously at Huo Junmo, feigning seriousness as she asked, ”Why do I feel like you’ve been speaking nicely about her these past two days? Quick, did she give you some benefit? That’s why you’re always speaking for her in front of me?”

Seeing her serious look, Huo Junmo couldn’t resist giving her head a little knock, ”What have you been thinking about all day? Looks like your brain really needs some clearing out!”
