Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The More One Tries to Defend Oneself, the Worse One Looks
Han and Huo Tingdong spend all day and night together, so his understanding of Huo Tingdong must be more profound than what she sees.
Han raised his head in surprise, blinking in confusion: “Violent?”
Momo asked with vigilance: “Mommy, did he bully you?”
Lin Qi hurriedly waved her hands: “No… I was just asking.”
Momo said: “Mommy, if he bullied you, don’t hide it from me. I won’t let him off!”
Lin Qi bitterly smiled: “Really, there’s nothing! I was just wondering if he would ever hit Han when Han doesn’t behave…”
Han said with an innocent face: “Han is always well-behaved.”
While speaking, he pouted his lips in grievance: “Does Aunt Qiqi think Han is not well-behaved?”
Lin Qi quickly responded: “No, I’ve always thought that Han is the best behaved! Even more so than Momo.”
Momo also showed a look of dejection: “Does Mommy think Momo is not well-behaved?”
Lin Qi: “…” Done for. Can’t explain this clearly.
Suddenly, Han said: “Daddy never hits me or scolds me.”
Then he looked towards Momo, “But Momo hits me.”
Momo slapped his head, “Don’t badmouth me in front of Mommy.”
Han scrunched up his face pitifully, rubbing his head with his hand. Even though Momo’s slap didn’t hurt, a crying child gets his way after all!
As expected—
Lin Qi immediately stood up, scolded Momo: “Don’t bully Han!”
With that, she held Han tenderly, comforting him with a few words.
…
Upon arriving at the company, as soon as Huo Tingdong entered the office, Mo Ke came over: “Mr. Huo, have you measured Miss Lin’s neck circumference?”
Huo Tingdong’s face turned ashen, glaring at Mo Ke.
Mo Ke, thoroughly confused by the glare, asked: “Mr. Huo, what’s wrong? Did things not go smoothly?”
Huo Tingdong said: “You didn’t give me a tape measure yesterday.”
Realizing his mistake, Mo Ke laughed awkwardly twice: “My oversight, my oversight! I brought it today.”
With that, he took out a brand-new tape measure: “It’s alright if we didn’t measure it yesterday, we can just measure it when we go back today!”
Suddenly, Huo Tingdong spread out his hands, gesturing with both hands, “About this long.”
Mo Ke: “… Mr. Huo, please don’t tell me you used your hands to measure?”
Huo Tingdong said: “I measured it after she fell asleep.”
Mo Ke laughed: “It’s a good thing Miss Lin didn’t wake up midway, otherwise she might have thought you were trying to strangle her!”
Huo Tingdong’s face turned green again.
Mo Ke pulled out the tape measure, measured the length Huo Tingdong had indicated, and got the size.
“When will we go pick the necklace?” Mo Ke asked.
Huo Tingdong replied: “Today.”
Yueyang Mall.
Cartier counter.
The counter manager had just approached when she saw two handsome and attractive men standing in front of the counter.
She couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Having been at the counter for so many years, she’s seen men accompany women to shop at the counter and buy jewelry, but this was the first time she saw two men come together.
Huo Tingdong said, “You choose.”
Mo Ke nodded, beginning to select from the counter.
A few sales associates gathered, whispering among themselves: “These two men are so handsome!”
“Could the two of them be a couple?”
“It looks like it. Look… the one picking the jewelry, he’s so gay, obviously a bottom.”
“Wah wah wah! Why do all the handsome guys go for internal consumption these days? No wonder I can’t find a boyfriend.”
Mo Ke, halfway through picking, overheard the salesgirls’ discussion, twitching his eyelid fiercely.
Are these people mistaking him and Mr. Huo for a couple?
Such an injustice.
What’s more unjust is, why is he being pegged as a bottom?
He admits, he’s not as dashing and handsome as Huo Tingdong, not as tall, but he also has manly pride; surely he doesn’t appear like a delicate bottom, does he?
Meanwhile, Huo Tingdong, who had clearly heard the gossip, looked at Mo Ke: “What does ‘bottom’ mean?”
Everyone petrified.
The counter manager glared fiercely at the salesgirls.
How could they gossip so loudly about someone and let the subjects hear?
Now, the situation was unbearable due to the awkwardness.
Mo Ke pursed his lips, at a loss for words: “Bottom is…”
How should he explain such a thing to a straight as an arrow man like him?
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow: “What is it?”
Mo Ke leaned closer, lowering his voice: “Mr. Huo, it seems we’ve been mistaken for a couple.”
Huo Tingdong: “A couple?”
Mo Ke: “Bottom means… the receptive partner in a male homosexual relationship.”
Displeasure clearly spread across Huo Tingdong’s face.
Mo Ke also awkwardly said: “Such misunderstandings, there’s no need to clarify them on purpose, otherwise it’ll only make things worse.”
After all, it was just behind-the-back talk.
If they went out of their way to explain, it would seem like a guilty conscience.
Huo Tingdong said with distaste: “Don’t stand so close to me.”
Taking the hint, Mo Ke stepped back a couple of paces: “How about you pick it personally, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Tingdong approached the counter, his gaze falling on the displayed diamond necklaces.
The salesgirls excitedly started again: “The two of them look so loving! The husband is personally picking a diamond necklace for the wife.”
“That husband is so tall, definitely over six feet! Plus, he looks very wealthy; the suit he’s wearing is custom-made, starting at a hundred thousand.”
“Such a tall, handsome, and wealthy prince with diamonds turning out to be gay…”
The salesgirls sighed with regret.
Huo Tingdong looked up, sweeping a glance over them, his eyes filled with a dangerous glint.
The group immediately silenced in fear.
The counter manager, embarrassed, said: “Sir, what can I do for you? I can help you make a choice.”
Huo Tingdong said: “I’m buying a diamond necklace for my wife.”
He stressed the words “my wife.”
Mo Ke immediately came over, pointing at a piece from the Creative collection: “Mr. Huo, I think this design suits the wife perfectly.”
The counter manager, somewhat surprised, said: “This gentleman is… Mr. Huo?”
Mo Ke nodded solemnly: “This is Huo Tingdong, Mr. Huo, and I’m his executive assistant.” He deliberately clarified their relationship.
The counter manager’s attitude became extremely respectful: “So it’s Mr. Huo!”
As a shareholder of Yueyang Square, Huo Tingdong’s name naturally resonated like thunder.
But…
Did Huo Tingdong get married?
As the heir to the Huo Family, the public knew only that Huo Tingdong had once had a very brief marriage and was divorced with a son. No one heard about him remarrying.
The counter manager dared not to ask more and immediately presented the Creative series diamonds which Mo Ke had selected, smiling: “Mr. Huo, your executive assistant has a good eye! This is Cartier’s latest Creative series diamond necklace, a favorite among wealthy ladies.”
She put on black velvet gloves, carefully taking out the diamond necklace.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Huo Tingdong took it.
His hands were very large, making the necklace seem especially delicate in his grasp.
The diamonds, shining like meteors, were a full 3 carats; the brilliant sparkle of the diamonds cascading at his fingertips.
The counter manager said: “If it’s for your wife, this Creative series is definitely the right choice. Every woman loves diamonds, especially Cartier diamonds.”
Mo Ke inquired: “What’s the retail price of this necklace?”
The counter manager replied: “This Creative series diamond necklace is priced at 998,888 yuan.”
