Just as she was putting on the bracelet, Huo Yunting had wrapped his arms around her waist, forcing her to him.
His forehead slowly touched against hers as he leaned over. Lu Zhaoyang could feel the warmth of his body, and weirdly, it was cozy.
His voice was low and attractive. “Happy birthday. I have prepared for you another gift.”
Whatever it was, Lu Zhaoyang did not want it. She had a hunch that he was up to no good.
“I am going off. I will continue tomorrow,” she wriggled, trying to get free from his clench.
However, Huo Yunting tightened his wrap and their bodies were now pressed together. He chuckled. “I have been in the cold storage for a long time. Is it my turn to get laid tonight so that I can present myself as a gift to you?”
Sure enough, her suspicion was confirmed.
They had indeed not been sleeping together for a long time. But what had a birthday to do with that?
“No!” Lu Zhaoyang sternly refused. “I am hungry. Can you let me go first?”
“Too long of abstinence is not good for health. Miss Lu, you have to unwrap the gift—me—tonight for the sake of our happiness for the rest of our lives.”
Huo Yunting had no intention of letting her go. He had not hugged her soft body for a long time. He missed it.
Fortunately, a phone call saved Lu Zhaoyang.
Who was it calling at this hour?
She could sense that Huo Yunting’s muscles stiffened. He appeared displeased as he had no choice but to loosen his grip on her a little, but he never lost sight of her.
Lu Zhaoyang took out her mobile phone. When she saw ‘Mom’ appeared on the caller ID screen, she instinctively felt a sense of relief.
She just thought that if it were Chen who called, Huo Yunting would definitely get mad. But since it was her mother, it did not matter much.
“Mom, why haven’t you rested yet?” Lu Zhaoyang was the one who first spoke. She tried to sound as calm as possible.
“Yang Yang, happy birthday. You are one year older now. Are you enjoying yourself during your birthday? Are you busy lately?” Xue Yuming also spoke softly to her.
It was the first call between the mother and daughter for a long time since they parted. It felt as if nothing had ever happened before in the Huo family.
After all, they were blood-related.
“I am fine. I was busy during the New Year and had not found the right time to call you.”
She stiffened her body muscles for fear that Huo Yunting would suddenly make a silly move.
“Give your best while working for your brother. Don’t make him angry. I will hang up now. Have an early rest, and remember to eat a bowl of longevity noodles.”
“I will.” Lu Zhaoyang replied andhung up the phone.
Before she even had time to tuck her mobile phone in her pocket, she heard Huo Yunting laughing. “Hear that? Your mom told you not to make me angry.”
“It doesn’t matter, are you not already angry?” She could sense his anger just now.
“Women and petty men are hard to please. I will not go down to your level and argue with you. Let’s go for dinner.”
Huo Yunting finally let his hands off her.
Appetite was just as important as sexual well-being, especially when her stomach condition was less than ideal.
Everybody had left, and Lu Zhaoyang did not intend to stay any longer. She went back into her office, took her handbag, and left with him.
“Isn’t it a perfect time to eat hot pot in this weather?” Lu Zhaoyang looked at him. “It is a little wish for my birthday, President Huo.”
