589: Well, Are You Looking to Reminisce the Past?

Well, Are You Looking to Reminisce the Past?

Ming Yue's scandal spread like wildfire. Even after a full day, the media showed no signs of letting it go.1

Huo Yunting made no comment throughout the day. His silence confirmed that Ming Yue was abandoned for good.

The next day, Lu Zhaoyang brought her son to work and let him play in the office while she brought the relevant documents to Huo Yunting's office.

"President, these require your signature." She opened the folder and handed a pen to him.

Huo Yunting took the pen and signed without looking up. He then threw the pen aside and passed the folder back to her.

Lu Zhaoyang was taken aback by his attitude. She took the papers and stared at him for awhile.

"Well, are you looking to reminisce the past?" Huo Yunting threw a cold glance at her.

"..." That was not her intention. She only thought that he looked under the weather.

However, she could not bring herself to express her concern in words. When she remained silent, he yelled at her to leave.

"Get out!"

"Okay." She nodded and turned to leave.

What happened with him?

He was still fine back in the capital.

She returned to her office and saw her son flipping through a book.

The boy was smart but recognized only a few Mandarin characters, making it difficult for him to get suitable reading material in this country.

She went to her son and sat down beside him, watching how intensely focused he was on the book. His face reminded her of Huo Yunting.

Lu Zhaoyang thought back on his moody expression and felt a tiny bit sad.

"Yangyang, I want to learn Mandarin so that I can read these books one day by myself without your help." The boy looked up abruptly and said to her in a serious tone. "I want to go to school!"

"But it's still summer break."

She felt touched by her son's effort in trying to help her. It was true that bringing him to work every day was inconvenient.

"Aren't there a lot of cram schools during summer break? Yangyang, if I go to school, then you can focus on your job and not have to worry about me," he said happily.

Lu Zhaoyang considered the idea and said, "We cannot decide this on impulse. If I register you for cram school, you have to take it seriously."

That fact was, she worried about leaving her son in the office. What would happen if she left him alone here while she attended a meeting and someone tried to kidnap him?

If he was really interested in learning Mandarin, this might be the best solution for the two of them.

"I will. Don't worry Yangyang, Mandarin characters look so pretty, I really like them!"

Young kids overseas all speak English. Her son may speak Mandarin, but he could not write in the language. This made him curious.

"Alright, I'll have a look around and choose a school for you." She stroked little Huo Xu's hair and asked, "If you can't read the words, what are you looking at now?"

"Pictures!"

She smiled in understanding. It was good to see pictures on every page in childrens' books.

Back in her seat, Lu Zhaoyang began to look for a suitable cram school for Xuxu. She would feel safer having a teacher look after her son during office hours.

Later in the day, she applied for leave from Huo Yunting. The latter merely threw her a quick glance before approving it.

Lu Zhaoyang brought her son to a few cram schools before finally deciding on one. The next day, she sent her son to school before going to work.

Huo Yunting had been waiting for the day her son was gone from the office, so that he may take her whenever she entered his office.

However, now that the day had arrived, he was not in the mood.

Lu Zhaoyang noticed the change in him as well. The man did not even seem keen to speak to her.

It's probably better this way, she thought. She was only here to work, after all.
