WARNING! Tsundere President - Chapter 512

Little Huo Xu did not expect Lu Zhaoyang to agree so quickly. He tapped his chin with his finger with a thoughtful look.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Ahh, let’s go to Z Country! Is Yang Yang not born in Z Country? She must be familiar with the place, and we can save money by not having to hire a tour guide!”

Huo Xu had some petty cleverness and thought that he was smart enough to save money. But when he looked up, he found that Lu Zhaoyang was in a daze without a smile.

“Yang Yang?” The little guy called and looked at her.

Lu Zhaoyang came out of her thoughts. Hearing the name of her home country brought back so many memories. She missed the food, family, and that person, who had been coming into her dreams for the past years.

She wanted to return there but was unsure whether it was the best time and how to face the things and people back home.

Huo Chen had gone to New York. She was thinking of discussing it with him once he returned.

“What happened to you, Yang Yang? If you do not like, we can go to other places. Please do not get upset.” Little Huo Xu thought that she did not want to go back there and shook his head. “We are not going to Z Country!”

Lu Zhaoyang came to her senses and pinched his cheek. “I did not say that I am not going back. Your grandma is still in Z Country. I have always wanted to go back to see her. Let me contact your grandma first. Okay?” Huo Yunting was in the city; if she went to the capital, they might not bump into each other.

“Okay!” Xuxu was hopeful.

In the evening, after her son fell asleep, Lu Zhaoyang returned to her room and took out her cell phone, standing at the window and looking at the night sky outside. It was 9pm while over in Z Country, it was 9am. Her mother should be awake by now.

She unlocked the phone and called Xue Yuming. The phone rang for a long time before her mother answered with a cold voice. “What?”

“Mom, how are you doing?” Lu Zhaoyang tried to put up a smile, but it was tough to do so. Despite the distance, Lu Zhaoyang could still feel the cold unconcern of her mother.

“Aww, I did not know that you are still concerned about me. Do I have anything to do with you now?” Xue Yuming’s distorted tone of voice and sarcasm fully showed her disgruntlement. How could Lu Zhaoyang not come back to see her after all these years? Since Lu Zhaoyang was so heartless, she might as well disown her.

“Mom, don’t be angry. I may go back to see—” Before Lu Zhaoyang could finish, Xue Yuming had hung up. Lu Zhaoyang’s heart sank. It seemed that going back was absolutely necessary now. Otherwise, her relationship with her mother might come to a bad end.

Huo Chen arrived home the next morning. During breakfast, Lu Zhaoyang told him about her idea of going back with her son. Huo Chen agreed without hesitation. He even volunteered to go with them, or he could be worried.

“Yeah! That’s great! I heard that the children over there all look like me; black eyes and black hair!” Little Huo Xu was full of curiosity about everything there and talked non-stop with excitement.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Lu Zhaoyang made up her mind. She had applied for a half-month leave under the pretense that her eyes needed a rest.

After getting through all the procedures, the three of them hopped on the plane on their way home.

The little guy was excited until he fell asleep after the meal. Lu Zhaoyang looked at him; he had not fully grown up, but she could vaguely see the resemblance to Huo Yunting. She could not help but start to feel nervous.

If Huo Yunting still had hate and resentment in his heart after so many years, and if they returned and happened to bump into Huo Yunting, would he forcibly take away Xuxu?

No, Xuxu was also her son. Even though legally they were still husband and wife, she must not allow her son to be separated from her, no matter what.

“Yang Yang.” The gentle voice of Huo Chen sounded in Lu Zhaoyang’s ears. She subconsciously tilted her head away from him, trying to conceal her emotions.

“I know what you are worried about. To be frank, I did not cover our tracks when we left. Huo Yunting could surely trace us. But he had not come to find you after so many years, perhaps this might indicate that he has forgotten you. Is it not?” Seeing her pale face, Huo Chen tried to comfort her. He was not worried about Huo Yunting would find out anything but more about what was in her mind.

“Mhm.” Lu Zhaoyang nodded.

Since Huo Yunting was so vindictive, had he known where she was and about the child, he would have come for her long ago. But he did not do anything. Perhaps, he had let go of her.

It was still daytime when the plane landed. The little guy was having jet lag and had not woken up.

Huo Chen had pre-booked two rooms in a hotel. Lu Zhaoyang took the child from him and went into her room.

Not long after, the hotel waiter delivered their lunch. Huo Chen came over to her room to have lunch together.

“It is one month to four years since you last left. Now you are back. How do you feel?” Huo Chen sat across from her, taking a sip of red wine and asked with a smile.

Lu Zhaoyang pretended not to care. “It is hard to describe.” But the way she grabbed the chopsticks in her hand so hard was a dead giveaway of her state of mind.

“When are you going back to the residence of the Huo family?” Huo Chen knew that she came back was mainly for Xue Yuming.

“Tomorrow. Xuxu is still asleep.” Lu Zhaoyang looked back at her son, who was sleeping in bed. “We need to recover from jet lag.”

“Then let’s sleep after the meal.” Huo Chen lowered his head and ate, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in him.

After lunch, Lu Zhaoyang lay in bed but could not sleep. She leaned over to kiss her son’s forehead before getting out of bed. She went to sit in front of the computer, browsing the web. She could easily see all the changes in the past years online.

One news was particularly a shocker to her. Huo Yunting had appeared on the headline. She moved the mouse over and clicked to read, eyes glued to the screen.

Innocent young woman Ming Yue flaunts her luxury villa. Said to marry Huo Yunting soon!

There were more details under the headline. It was mainly about this actress named Ming Yue, who was said to marry a wealthy man soon. Ming Yue was a new actress; Lu Zhaoyang had never heard of her before she left. Could it be Su Cheng who brought her into the industry?

Lu Zhaoyang had always been wishing that Huo Yunting would focus on other women in the past. But now, her heart ached, and she did not know why.

The tidbit about Huo Yunting aside, what baffled Lu Zhaoyang, even more, was that Xiang Jinxi had also made it to the news.

Xiang Jinxi had turned out to be the president of Xiang Yuan Corp., and his company had been going hostile with the Huo family and Thunderbolt Corp. for a while. It was speculated that there was no love lost between Xiang Jinxi and the Huo family.
