She just broke up with the dog, how could he be willing to accompany her back?

But even without today's incident, Huo Jingbo would not have gone, because every time she asked him before, his answer was that he was not available.

Shang Manyue bit her lower lip, unable to answer her directly for the moment.

Mrs. Shang lost her husband when she was young, and raised her son by herself. He had a successful career, married a good wife, and gave birth to a beautiful and clever daughter. She thought she could finally enjoy a happy life.

Unexpectedly, an accident took away the lives of her son and daughter-in-law. The white-haired person sent the black-haired person away. At that time, if she hadn't been reluctant to leave the poor little Man Yue, she would have followed.

Her health has gradually deteriorated over the years, and the only thing she worries about is Shang Manyue, fearing what she will do if she leaves too.

Shang Manyue got married three years ago. When she heard that she had married the man she liked, the old lady was very happy, thinking that her little granddaughter would have someone to rely on, and she would feel at ease even if she left.

However, the wedding was never held, and Shang Manyue was never able to bring Huo Jingbo back for her to see.

He is always said to be busy.

The old lady understood it at first. Although she lived in the countryside, she had also heard of the reputation of the Huo Group. As the president of the Huo Group, my uncle was indeed very busy.

But three years have passed and she still hasn't come back once. The old lady inevitably feels uncomfortable. Is it because she is really busy and can't spare any time, or... he doesn't care about her little full moon at all.

Shang Manyue's silence made the old lady's heart sink. "Manyue, tell me the truth. Is my uncle treating you badly?"

She never expected the old lady to be so perceptive. Shang Manyue's heart skipped a beat. She quickly denied it, "Of course not, grandma, don't think too much, Jing Bo and I are fine."

Some time ago, the old lady's physical examination results were not very good. She couldn't bear the stimulation at all, so she definitely couldn't tell her the truth.

Shang Manyue took a deep breath and her brain started working rapidly. She couldn't be perfunctory this time. She had to think of a reason to convince her and stop her suspicions.

She bit her nails and considered it, but the phone in her hand was suddenly taken away. Shang Manyue was startled and looked up suddenly.

Huo Jingbo put the phone to his ear and introduced himself directly over there, with a low and sweet voice, "Grandma, I'm Huo Jingbo, hello."

Shang Manyue was immediately frightened. What did the dog want to do? Could it be that she made him unhappy just now, so now she wants to expose her lies with her grandma to get revenge on her?

"Give me your phone!"

She didn't dare to make a sound, she only used her lips, and even rushed over to grab it.

If that bitch dares to make grandma angry, she will die with him!

Huo Jingbo saw her intention and raised the hand holding the phone so high that Shang Manyue couldn't reach it no matter how much he jumped.

He seemed to be playing monkey tricks, which made her eyes red with anger.

Shang Manyue was so angry that she laughed, "Okay, you damn thing, go to hell!"

She stopped grabbing the phone and instead grabbed the man's neck with both hands.

Huo Jingbo lowered his eyes and looked at her. He opened his thin lips and spat out slowly, "Grandma, I was too busy before. I'm sorry. I will take time to go back with Man Yue this year."

Unexpectedly, Shang Manyue's hands became awkward.

Huo Jingbo cut off the phone, with a hint of playfulness on his lips, and said, "Mrs. Huo, are you planning to kill your husband?"

Shang Manyue's anger subsided immediately and a smile appeared on her face, "How could that be? I'm just... giving Mr. Huo a neck spa. Don't worry, it's free."

"The kind where you can see the King of Hell after you're done?"

"..."

Shang Manyue reached out to take her phone back and charge it again. She suddenly thought of something and looked up at him, "Do you really want to go back with me?"

At this time of year, no matter whether she acts coquettishly, begs, or loses her temper with him, he never lets up. This time he actually agreed? Everything is weird.

Wouldn't it be a pretense to agree first, and then let her go when the time came, so that grandma would be happy for nothing?

Huo Jingbo frowned and asked, "Don't you want me to accompany you back?"

"It was true before." Shang Manyue said frankly, "But this year, I don't want to do it anymore. We will definitely end up getting divorced anyway, and there is no need for grandma to see you again."

Huo Jingbo's heart seemed to be stabbed by something. He pursed his lips and said subconsciously: "It's not that I didn't want to go before, I just happened to be busy."

Shang Manyue didn't want to laugh, but what he said was really ridiculous.

It would be better not to tell such an untenable lie.

Her voice was extremely calm, "That's really a coincidence."

Seeing her "just make it up" look on her face made the inexplicable irritability in his heart emerge again, and if the conversation continued, they would break up on bad terms again.

Huo Jingbo looked away, "Since I agreed, I will definitely accompany you back this year."

Shang Manyue looked at him.

But that handsome face was always expressionless, and his dark eyes were as dark as ink, and she could never see through it.

"Send the time and place to Yang Ge and he will arrange it."

After saying these words, the man opened his long legs and strode away.

...

Every year on the anniversary of his parents' death, Shang Manyue would go back to stay for a week and spend some time with the old lady. She was old and in poor health. To put it bluntly, she missed seeing her more often than not.

She had always wanted to take the old lady to live in the city so that she could take care of her more easily, but the old lady was unwilling. Firstly, she did not want to burden her because she was afraid that her husband's family would gossip about her. Secondly, she was used to life in the country.

The house in the country was left to her by her husband. It had the best memories, familiar neighbors, relatives and friends, and she couldn't bear to leave.

Therefore, Shang Manyue had no choice but to give up this idea and hired a relative to take care of her. He made frequent phone calls and went back to see her when he had time.

After Shang Manyue packed his suitcase, his cell phone dinged several times.

She walked to the bedside table, picked up her phone, and found flight ticket information, booking a flight for ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

The other was a WeChat message sent by Yang Ge.

Yang Ge: [Madam, Mr. Huo has a cross-border meeting tonight, so he won’t go back. Let me convey to you that at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, he will pick you up and take you to the airport. 】

Shang Manyue replied with a "good" emoji.

Just as she was about to put down her phone, after thinking about it, she opened her mailbox again and edited an email.

Although she can freely arrange her work when there are no tasks, but as a rule, she has to say hello to the president and ask for leave.

[President, I would like to take seven days off and go back to my hometown to pay homage to my parents. But don’t worry, when I come back with a full charge, I will work even harder. No matter what task you give me, I can complete it! 】

The president replied instantly: [Okay. 】

Shang Manyue breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought the president would be a little unhappy. After all, she had just returned to work and had to take seven days off. She really is the best boss!

...

The next day.

Shang Manyue raised her head and saw the antique clock hanging on the wall. The time pointed to eight o'clock.

Outside the door, Huo Jingbo was still missing.
