You Are My Starlight

Acting Cute Won’t Get You Anywhere (Part 3)

Huo Ting was already immune to Dongdong’s acting cute.

However, things weren’t the same with Su Mianmian around.

He had wanted to get even with him, but when he saw Su Mianmian looking at him with eyes filled with anticipation and red hearts, his turned soft at once unexplainably.

Of course, the red hearts and stuff... they were purely his imagination.

Su Mianmian met his aesthetic standard perfectly.

He always had had no resistance to such looks.

“I’ll let you off this time” Huo Ting said expressionless. “If you act on your own again, I’ll cut off your network!”

“That’s great! Dongdong!”

“Yeah!”

The two happily ignored what Huo Ting said next.

“...” Huo Ting said.

...

After the small incident in the morning, Su Mianmian had breakfast and then bade farewell to Dongdong.

Dongdong carried Little Fire and stood at the door, waving his little handkerchief reluctantly.

“Miemie, I can’t bear the thought of you gone. Can you not leave?”

“Baa...” Little Fire wore a striped clothing today.

Su Mianmian smiled and touched his head, and also Little Fire’s head before she said said, “Be good, I will come back and visit you next time.”

“You adults never mean what you say.” Dongdong talked like he was very experienced. “Words like ‘next time’ or whatever don’t sound sincere at all.”

“...” Su Mianmian gave it a thought and said, “I... I’ve been quite busy recently, I will come find you again after I’ve settled my stuff.”

Her family issue was now in a mess. Dongdong was right. She really didn’t know when next time would be.

Dongdong was a thoughtful child. Seeing Mianmian’s awkward expression, he said, “It’s okay, I will wait for you no matter how long it takes.”

Su Mianmian was very moved and was about to hug Dongdong when she heard him say, “We have slept together, you have to take responsibility.”

“...” Well... she had to take back her emotions.

After Su Mianmian left, Dongdong smoothed the hair on Little Fire’s back and said with a hint of sadness, “Miemie just told me secretly that she thought Daddy looked a little familiar. Do you think she doesn’t recall seeing Daddy before?”

“Baa...” Little Master, I’m hungry...

“I don’t know what to say about Daddy. I’ve created such a good opportunity and he didn’t cherish it. According to the TV dramas that I watched, shouldn’t the girl be pushed onto the bed at this time? Why didn’t he take action?”

“Baa...” Little master, hurry up and feed me something!

“Hey, do you think Daddy is not okay? I haven’t seen him with anyone these years. Auntie Mary said that several aunties undressed themselves but Daddy remained unmoved! Oh no, there’s definitely something wrong with Daddy!”

“Baa...” Little Fire was too hungry, and stuck out its delicate tongue to lick Dongdong’s hand.

“Little Fire, I didn’t wash my hands after I went to the toilet just now!”

“Baa...” This lamb is dying!

...

Mary had been a little sad recently.

Everyone suspected that she had an affair with Big Boss.

There was really no justice!

Come on, Boss wouldn’t have an affair with her even if he has one with Chen Ce?

Boss had recruited so many secretaries all these years, and everyone who worked for a long time did so because they wanted to get onto his bed.

Mary was a smart person. She had long been clear about her position, hence she was able to stay with Boss, and get promoted from a small secretary to a secretary general.

But she couldn’t counter everyone’s gossip, and her blind dates haven’t been smooth as a result.

Big Boss was twenty-eight years old and has a four-and-a-half-year-old son.

His ex-wife was a secret existence. Mary had been in the company for more than six years, but not only had she not heard or seen her, she hadn’t even heard about her before.

However, Boss was getting married soon!

Mary was so happy that she almost cried. This way, no one would suspect her of having an affair with Boss anymore, and there would be hope for her blind dates!

She has to strive toward getting married this year!

“Mary, why are you twitching your face? You’ve had too much Botox?” Chen Ce said without any expression on his face.

Chen Ce, special assistant to Huo Ting.

Twenty six years old, 1.8 meters tall, very handsome, but always looked expressionless.

In addition, he also had a wicked tongue.

“You’re the one who had Botox. Your whole family had Botox!” said Mary angrily.

She is a natural beauty!

“What a big temper! Has your blind date failed again?”

“...please scram, thank you!” Mary couldn’t be bothered to say another word to him.

“All right!” Chen Ce shrugged and was about to walk in with the materials.

“Wait a minute. Has the matter on the lady boss really been decided?” Mary gossiped.

Chen Ce looked at her and said, “Yes, Old Master Huo has given an ultimatum, saying that he has to get married this month no matter what, as long as the bride is a woman and is alive! He cared about nothing else.”

Mary silently noted the gossip, and couldn’t help but got excited.

Chen Ce cruelly threw a wet blanket on her and said, “But Boss seems to have another way of thinking, and asked me to bring the bride’s information to him. I don’t know if things will change in the end.”

“Why is this so? Didn’t he choose the bride himself?” Boss had previously stated the conditions, and they went to search according to the standard.

Chen Ce shook his head and said, “She was chosen by Dongdong.”

“What?! Why is Little Young Master messing things up at this time?”

Chen Ce shrugged, got past the fuming Mary, and took the materials to Huo Ting.

“Boss, the stuff are all here,” Chen Ce said.

“Just leave them.” Huo Ting looked up and said coldly. “By the way, please lower your voice the next time you gossip.”

“...” a crack appeared on Chen Ce’s expressionless face.

Oh no, there goes his year-end bonus!
