WARNING! Tsundere President

Huo Li had bought a spacious and comfortable house for them. It was renovated and fully furnished but never lived in since.

His mother behaved as normal throughout the drive home, and that gave him confidence that she was really on the road to recovery.

Huo Yunting skipped work for the rest of the day to accompany her. They watched TV, ate their meals, and chatted throughout the day.

Qiu Ran seemed to be in a good mood and never mentioned the Huo family or Xue Yuming.

On the other side of the city, Lu Zhaoyang was a little surprised that Huo Yunting did not visit her that night.

He had been visiting almost daily in recent times.

Perhaps… he had found someone else?!

For the rest of the week, Huo Yunting did not go to her apartment but only exchanged a few calls with her.

Lu Zhaoyang, on the other hand, was too stubborn to ask what was preoccupying him and could only simmer in her own vexation.

One day after dinner, when Huo Yunting was watching TV with Qiu Ran in the living room, he felt a sudden emptiness.

It had been a while since he saw Lu Zhaoyang.

He missed her.

"Mum, I won't be staying tonight. I'm glad that you are doing much better now." He looked at the time and said to his mother, "I'll leave you to it then, there's something I have to do."

"Go do your thing. I do feel much better now, don't worry."

Qiu Ran nodded gently at him, looking almost normal.

"Take care of my mother." Huo Yunting spoke to the caretakers in the house before leaving the place.

Qiu Ran continued watching TV. When she heard the car engine running, she immediately stood up and headed for her room upstairs.

"Ma'am, how can I help you?" A maid asked her anxiously.

"I'm going to bed!"

Qiu Ran replied without looking at her as she went straight to her bedroom. Once inside, she locked the doors and started rummaging in her wardrobe panickedly.

She panted heavily as she searched and finally took out a white bottle of pills. She took one out and swallowed it dry.

When the effects finally kicked in, she shut her eyes and sat down on the floor, breathing evenly.

It was all an act.

Her condition had not improved at all. During the past days when Huo Yunting was here, she had to take her pills in secret…

Who knew when she would have another episode!

In order to leave the horrible place and see Huo Zhenning again, she had to pretend to feel better. There was no other way.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Ma'am, are you still awake? Would you like some hot milk, and do you want us to prepare a bath for you?"

"No thank you, I got this. You can retire now."

"Alright… Have a good night, Ma'am."

When the maid left, Qiu Ran quickly hid her medication in her wardrobe. When that was done, she removed her makeup that was meant to make her look healthier and laid down on her bed.

It was a sleepless night.

…

On the third floor of the seventh block in Serena Apartments, Lu Zhaoyang had just showered and was about to go to bed when she heard someone opening the door to her apartment.

Huo Yunting was the only person other than her to have a key to her place.

She went to the door in her bathrobe and saw him changing into his indoor shoes.

"How cooperative you have become! I see that you have showered just in time for me."

He took off his jacket and marched eagerly toward her.

"I shower every night. It has nothing to do with you."

She turned back to return to her bedroom and ignored Huo Yunting.

Who knows where he had been enjoying himself in the past few days! Has he finally had enough and realized he missed home?

Haha!
