WARNING! Tsundere President

She made a simple dish of fried rice with eggs. She ate it silently and alone and then cleaned up after herself.

When she returned to the living room, only her mother was left sitting on the sofa.

"Come here!" Xue Yuming yelled.

Lu Zhaoyang walked slowly toward her but stopped at just a meter away from her and did not sit down. "What is it?"

"How dare you cry!"

Xue Yuming notice her bloodshot eyes but did not comfort her daughter.

Earlier that day, because of Lu Zhaoyang, the old Mrs Huo had once again reproached her! She was still angry about it!

Xue Yuming thought her daughter's good relationship with Huo Yunting could do her better, but now…

The only thing her daughter did was create a mess!

"…"

Lu Zhaoyang felt bitter over the entire affair. Her mother, her only blood relation in this family, had sided against her just like everyone else.

"Forget about Huo Chen. I told you that it's impossible. If you still want to stay in the Huo family, then let go of that hope. There's no one here to pity your sorry look. Do you think he can protect you all the way from the military? The old Mrs Huo is true to her word. If she doesn't approve of you, you will live a dreadful life, do you understand?"

Xue Yuming finished her lecture and made her leave. Lu Zhaoyang was her daughter and she did not want her to live in misery.

However, she cannot allow her daughter to ruin her own life too.

"I never thought of being together with him. I left for other reasons, not the one that you think."

She was escaping Huo Yunting and the ordeal of being trapped between him and her mother.

"I see that you've learned nothing more than talking back from your years of job experience. As expected of Huo Yunting's head secretary!" Xue Yuming stopped walking and glared at her daughter. "Understand your position. The Second Master is a captain, a military man! Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you should think about his, don't you think? You cannot be so selfish and only think about yourself!"

Lu Zhaoyang was speechless. If she was selfish, she would not have come back.

She stood there and watched her mother left the living room. The servants walking past the living room were gossiping, so she went back upstairs to her own room.

Lu Zhaoyang gripped her phone tightly in her hands but did not know who to call.

She rested against the headboard and gradually fell asleep.

In her dreams, she saw Chen. They were still in France, enjoying a simple but peaceful life together.

He rode a motorcycle with her on the backseat. She carried a basket filled with freshly picked lavender flowers, to be used to decorate their cottage.

Ring —

Lu Zhaoyang was woken up by her phone's ringtone. She looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen and accepted the call without hesitation.

She had a feeling that it was from Huo Chen!

"Is it you…" She asked doubtfully.

"Yang Yang." A familiar voice spoke from the other side. Her heart skipped a beat.

It was really Chen!

"How is your wound? Are you feeling better?"

"Don't worry, I am doing fine here. What about you? Is the family causing any trouble for you?" Huo Chen was now alone in his office.

Before this, there were constantly guards around him to stop him from calling back home.

He knew that they were under the old Mrs Huo's instructions. That made him worried about Yang Yang's situation.

"Don't worry about me. They wouldn't do anything. I still have your protection!"

Lu Zhaoyang snuggled down under her blanket as she spoke. The whistle of the cold wind outside sounded frightening.
