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

Chapter 1132: Chapter 1174: Sealed Memories

After the dishes were ordered, Ling Shenglan started chatting with Huo Junmo again! It seemed she wanted to take advantage of the meal to gather all details about Huo Junmo, afraid to miss any subtleties!

Listening to their conversation, Ling Yueyue felt like an outsider for the first time, unable to join the discussion, and tried several times to stop Ling Shenglan from continuing to investigate Huo Junmo’s background, but although Ling Shenglan kept promising, she soon forgot and kept asking.

Eventually, Ling Yueyue simply stayed silent, gradually feeling impatient.

Not long after, the dishes they ordered arrived! Ling Yueyue thrust a bowl into Huo Junmo’s hand, saying grumpily, ”Alright, stop talking, let’s eat first before the food gets cold!”

Ling Shenglan hurriedly agreed, ”Yes yes, let’s eat first! Anyway, I won’t leave anytime soon; we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future! We can discuss things later, there’s no rush today!”

As Ling Yueyue was about to eat, her hand holding the rice, she suddenly froze upon hearing this.

After a long pause, she asked blankly, ”You’re not planning to leave? Didn’t you say you would be gone in a few days?”

If it weren’t for knowing she’d soon leave, she wouldn’t have agreed to meet her with Huo Junmo! She wanted her to leave peacefully, and more importantly, to urge her to leave quickly.

For some reason, this time her aunt came back, she felt uneasy all over!

If her aunt treated her cold as before, she’d feel more comfortable! But now that her aunt suddenly became so warm, she really couldn’t adapt!

”Initially, that’s what I intended, but this time I returned specifically for you; after searching for half a year and finally seeing you, I can’t bear to leave! So, I want to stay longer! We haven’t seen each other for over five years, and I just want to spend more time with you!” Ling Shenglan obviously sensed the eviction in Ling Yueyue’s words, but she didn’t mind at all!

After all, the way she treated her before, it’s natural she’d want her to leave quickly!

Indeed, when returning, her requirements were simple, just wanting to see her once and then leave! If Yueyue wanted to go with her, that would be great! She certainly hadn’t thought about staying in Jin City longer!

However, upon seeing her after five years, she found that she really missed this daughter, and upon seeing her, she couldn’t bear to leave! She just wanted to stay by her side, properly taking care of her!

And to help retrieve the money from her brother and sister-in-law!

Yueyue is her daughter, no matter what, she can’t let her daughter suffer in silence! Until the matters here are resolved, she absolutely won’t leave!

”...!” Listening to Ling Shenglan’s words, Ling Yueyue not only didn’t show any happiness, but instead looked at Ling Shenglan strangely, completely in disbelief.

If she really couldn’t bear to leave her, then five years ago she wouldn’t have resolutely followed her uncle abroad, leaving her alone in Jin City!

Now suddenly returning claiming she can’t bear to leave her, wanting to spend more time with her!

To be honest, after five years, she really doesn’t know how to interact with her.

Facing Ling Yueyue’s surprise and bewilderment, Huo Junmo appeared especially calm, ”It’s rare for Aunt to return this time; indeed she should stay longer. I can accompany Yueyue to be a good host, see where Aunt wants to go, and if there’s time, I can also accompany!”

After hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue’s face changed dramatically, glaring at him fiercely, her eyes full of warnings.

But Huo Junmo seemed not to notice, placing a piece of cilantro mixed with beef into Ling Yueyue’s bowl, softly saying, ”This is your favorite dish, taste it quickly; it’s really good!”

Ling Yueyue grumpily stuffed the cilantro mixed beef into her mouth, chewing it strongly and vigorously, as if venting all dissatisfaction onto the beef, as though Huo Junmo was the beef.

This annoying man, knowing well what she thought, desperately wished her aunt would leave soon, yet he still spoke such words, wasn’t he digging a pit for her to jump into?

However, with her aunt around, she couldn’t openly tell her to leave quickly, saying she was not welcome!

Thus, she could only suppress all her anger within and plan to confront him later to see what was wrong with him today, daring to decide for her.

”Yueyue, this sweet and sour spare ribs used to be your favorite, come on, have a piece!” Ling Shenglan pretended not to notice Ling Yueyue’s small actions, placing a piece of sweet and sour ribs into Ling Yueyue’s bowl.

”I haven’t eaten this dish in a long time!” Ling Yueyue looked at the sweet and sour ribs in her bowl, hesitated for a moment, and placed them back in Ling Shenglan’s bowl.

Although she knew it was impolite, that’s how she was; if she liked something, she liked it, if she didn’t, she didn’t; she’d never force herself to accept something she didn’t like!

Seeing Ling Yueyue return the ribs, a hint of hurt flashed across Ling Shenglan’s eyes, ”Sorry, my memory of you still stops at more than five years ago; I didn’t know your taste changed!”

Seeing her like this, Ling Yueyue felt a surge of guilt for no reason, ”Actually, it’s not your fault; when I lived with you, the family conditions were not good, usually we ate the cheapest dishes, sometimes when there was no money, you picked up discarded vegetable leaves from the market to eat! So, the occasional sweet and sour ribs, of course, I liked and ate heartily! But since you left, I haven’t eaten this dish again, and never had it, over time, I stopped eating it!”

Actually, only she knows that when her aunt left her alone, outwardly she seemed fine, but inside she was very hurt! And eating sweet and sour ribs with her aunt was her happiest memory in fifteen years!

After her aunt left, she buried this memory deep within because only then she wouldn’t be sad, and could be strong!

Eventually, this memory was completely sealed over time, and she really stopped liking this dish! Maybe subconsciously she didn’t want to recall past events!

”Oh! I understand! You now like the dishes Junmo ordered, don’t you?” From the moment the dishes were served, she observed that Yueyue ate happily, almost every dish she ate a lot, mostly the cilantro mixed with beef!

So she guessed these dishes must have been specially ordered by Huo Junmo for her!
