Chapter 700
Having no other choice, Pearl had to go back and ask Yunwan to stop.
Yun Wan was eager to quell the rumors about herself, so she had no choice but to give the order.
After that, the rumors about Yun Wan gradually subsided.
With the matter settled, Fang Muning sent someone to invite Huo Zhao out together.
Huo Zhao readily agreed and even took the initiative to book a place to eat.
However, Fang Muning was quite uneasy when she went to keep the appointment.
Fang Muning still remembered the time when Shen Rang accepted Huo Zhao's invitation under Huo Zhao's name and then took him to some Sichuan-style restaurant, where they ended up eating in a lose-lose situation.
Therefore, Fang Muning was constantly on edge throughout the journey, ready to turn around and run if things went wrong.
Fang Muning only breathed a heavy sigh of relief when she entered the private room and saw Huo Zhao inside.
His behavior made Huo Zhao wonder, "What's wrong with you?"
Fang Muning shook his head, feigning composure: "Nothing."
After he sat down, Huo Zhao smiled and said, "Actually, I was just thinking of asking you out, but I didn't expect you to be faster than me."
"how?"
"Thank you for that rumor."
Speaking of this, Fang Muning couldn't help but say, "Really, you're a princess now, and the rumors outside are spreading like this, how come you don't care at all?"
Not only Huo Zhao, but also the Yunnan Prince's Mansion and Shen Rang, all showed far too much leniency in this matter.
Fang Muning even wondered if those people were truly good to Huo Zhao.
If she's really good, how can you stand by and watch her get slandered?
“I know who spread this rumor and what they want to achieve, but I don’t care. Why waste my time and energy on her?”
Fang Muning looked shocked.
Is this magnanimous person really the one who pinned him to the ground and beat him?
You know, when I was a kid, I just said she wasn't acting like a girl, and I got a beating for it!
He still vividly remembers that pain.
How did such a little tyrant become so understanding after growing up?
Upon meeting Fang Muning's shocked gaze, Huo Zhao asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Muning snapped out of his reverie and shook his head with a sigh: "I just lament that I was born at the wrong time."
Huo Zhao was puzzled.
But Fang Muning didn't explain further: "If you don't clarify this matter, it will eventually become a disaster. By the time you want to care about it in the future, it won't change anything."
Huo Zhao nodded, though it was unclear whether he had taken his words to heart.
Fang Muning couldn't help but say, "You two are really strange. One of you doesn't care how nasty the rumors are, while the other one gets so anxious when the rumors are unfavorable that she comes knocking on her door. It's really..."
Huo Zhao was taken aback: "She came to you?"
Fang Muning nodded: "Don't worry, nothing was done, your yard is perfectly fine."
His focus was so strange that Huo Zhao was speechless for a moment before saying, "It's not a big deal if things get broken, I'm just worried that you're not as resilient as you were when you were a kid."
Fang Muning: "...Do you even know how to have a conversation?"
Why do you keep bringing up things from his childhood?
Huo Zhao chuckled, but then couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yun Wan always tried to ruin her with rumors, but she never took it to heart. She felt that outsiders didn't understand anything and there was no need for them to understand her. As a result, she completely ignored the fact that this very thing she didn't care about could easily destroy others.
Take Yunwan for example.
Fang Muning remained silent.
