Chapter 443 More or Less
Facing Guo Zhenzhen's loving gaze, there was no change in Huo Yunting's emotions, not even his expression.
"Ms. Guo, I really have someone I like."
If Su Baitian hadn't threatened him with Xiao Muzhen, he wouldn't have come here tonight.
Guo Zhenzhen frowned, "Huo Yunting, the Guo and Huo families are about to cooperate. Are you sure you really want to reject me?"
Huo Yunting's eyes grew colder as he stood up and said, "Ms. Guo, I really have no interest in you at all, so I hope you can respect yourself. If you think it's shameful for me to reject you, you can tell others that you're not interested in me. I have work to do, so I'll excuse myself now!"
After saying that, Huo Yunting turned around and left.
Looking at his back, Guo Zhenzhen's eyes flashed with anger, but then she didn't know what she thought of, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She fell in love with Huo Yunting the first time she saw him, so she had to get this man, no matter what method she used!
She took out her phone and called Guo's father, saying softly, "Dad, I really like Huo Yunting, but he doesn't seem interested in me. I think if we can get engaged, maybe if we cultivate our relationship, he'll like me."
"Nonsense! You said you wanted to have dinner with him, and I shamelessly went to Mr. Su to arrange a meeting. Since he doesn't like you, you just like someone else. Are all men in this world dead?!"
"But I like him, I don't want anyone else. If you don't agree, I won't go home!" Guo Zhenzhen's tone was full of threats.
Father Guo was so angry that he almost lost his breath. He said angrily, "I can't see what's good about Huo Yunting. He has a cold face all day long. A man like him won't care about others!"
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't love others, as long as I can love others, that's all. I will definitely treat him well. Dad, can you help me talk to Uncle Su, okay?!"
Father Guo remained silent. Guo Zhenzhen kept trying for a while before Father Guo said coldly, "Okay, I get it. I'll try, but I can't guarantee success."
"Is there anything my father wants to do that he can't succeed? Dad, I love you! After I marry Huo Yunting, I will definitely let him treat you well!"
"Go away, go away! You haven't even started yet, and you're already dreaming!"
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to get a beauty treatment. I'll wait for your good news!"
After hanging up the phone, Guo Zhenzhen curled up the corner of her mouth into a determined smile.
Not to mention that what Huo Yunting said tonight was obviously an excuse. Even if he really liked a woman, she would make him fall in love with her. She had the confidence!
After leaving the hotel, Huo Yunting went to Xiao Muzhen’s favorite pastry shop to buy some mung bean cakes, and then drove back to the villa.
When he returned to the villa and saw Xiao Muzhen sitting on the sofa watching TV, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Why are you still watching TV downstairs today?"
Xiao Muzhen turned her head and saw the pastries in his hand, her eyes flashing.
"Which client are you having dinner with tonight? Why are you back at just after nine?"
The expression on Huo Yunting's face froze for a moment, and although it was fleeting, it was still seen by Xiao Muzhen.
Her heart sank and she had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second...
“There are several clients that you don’t know, I’ll take you with me next time.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. If Huo Yunting had told her the truth, it would have shown that he was honest and there was nothing wrong with him, but he chose to lie, which meant that he had something to hide.
She put down the remote control, stood up and said expressionlessly: "I know, I'll go upstairs to wash up."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen turn around and leave, Huo Yunting hurriedly took two steps forward, raised the mung bean cake in his hand in front of her, and said with a smile: "This is your favorite cake from the shop. I've been waiting in line for a long time."
Seeing him handing the mung bean cake to her like he was presenting a treasure, with his eyes full of expectation for her to praise him, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
He clearly showed that he loved her so much and she was all in his eyes, but why did he lie to her because of another woman and make her feel uncomfortable?
"I don't want to eat today. I'll go upstairs first."
Noticing Xiao Muzhen's cold attitude, Huo Yunting frowned, took her hand and whispered, "Zhenzhen, are you in a bad mood? Is there something wrong with your work?"
"It's okay, just a little tired."
She broke free from Huo Yunting's hand, turned around and walked straight upstairs.
Huo Yunting stared at her back for a while, then suddenly said, "The person I'm having dinner with tonight is Guo Zhenzhen, the daughter of a client of the Huo family. Do you know about this?"
Xiao Muzhen's back stiffened for a moment, and Huo Yunting instantly confirmed his thoughts.
"Zhenzhen, I was wrong to lie to you about this matter. Can you give me a chance to explain?"
Hearing Huo Yunting's humble voice, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frown and looked back at him.
"I asked you when you came back. I was giving you a chance then, but you missed it."
Huo Yunting walked forward quickly, his eyes full of guilt. "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. There was originally a dinner arranged by an elder tonight, and I didn't know it was just me and Guo Zhenzhen. But I already made it clear to her, and I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to know too much."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she chose to believe it when she saw the sincere eyes.
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but if you lie to me again next time, I won't let you off easily!"
"Um."
Huo Yunting reached out and held her in his arms, his eyes full of guilt.
"I will never lie to you again."
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but curl her lips and said unhappily, "Mr. Huo, don't make promises lightly, because you will easily get slapped in the face."
Huo Yunting smiled and said, "No."
"Okay, I'm going to go wash up and go to bed. I won't talk to you anymore."
"Don't you want to have some of your favorite mung bean cakes?"
"I'm not eating anymore, I want to lose weight!"
Looking at her arrogant look, Huo Yunting couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a smile, "Okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I still have a few documents. I'll come up to accompany you after I finish reading them."
"Um."
After Xiao Muzhen went upstairs, the smile on Huo Yunting's face gradually turned cold. He returned to the study and immediately called Su Baitian.
"Boss Su, I only promised you to return to the Su family, not to go on a blind date. I hope you won't do such boring things again in the future!"
Su Baitian's voice was full of displeasure. "What President Su?! I'm your father! Zhenzhen is a perfect match for you, and she likes you. What's wrong with being with her? From now on, both Su's and Guo's will be yours!"
Huo Yunting sneered, "I have no interest in either the Su or Guo companies. I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible. I will only have one wife, and that is Xiao Muzhen!"
