Upon hearing this, Bun paused her hand and trembled nervously. "What are you talking about, Master! Please knock it off!"
"I mean it. Girls need to be romanced. I've been actively pursuing you lately, but he never said a word."
Bun lowered her head in resignation. He had a point.
"Our correspondent reports that the Young Lady of Mu Group was believed to be kidnapped early yesterday morning..."
Robert Huo abruptly turned off the TV.
His brother, Adam was watching the news channel. Surprised, Adam asked, "What's wrong, Robert?"
"Too much TV is bad for your eyes." Robert said with a smile.
Adam had been watching TV since early morning, and only left the couch to eat lunch and use the toilet.
He was already blind in one eye, so he needed to take care of the other. What if he also lost sight in his other eye?
He could end up having a nervous breakdown.
The other reason that Robert turned off the TV was because of the news on the Mu Clan.
"Fine. But aren't you curious about the woman? The report wasn't done yet."
Robert paused. "Adam..."
"It's fine, Robert. Talking about the Mu Clan isn't taboo for us. Didn't we used to play with Charles Mu? It would be natural for us to know how he's doing lately." Adam smiled earnestly at him. His wide-eyed look invited pity and affection.
Robert was touched. "You're a good kid. I'm glad you think so."
"By the way, how's the girl you like? Are you in touch with her?"
Robert shook his head and said, "No. She said she's already engaged... I'm a bit sad, but she agreed to have a dinner with me after I finish the job in the company."
He had already taken over three subsidiaries of Huo Group since his return. His father wanted to groom him.
"Don't waste your time waiting, Robert. She's only engaged, not married. Don't give up just yet. "
Speechless, Robert raised his head to look at Adam.
Though his advice made sense, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
"When you were in college, you were too stubborn to accept our parents' arrangement and went abroad to study. Now that you've returned and have finally met a girl you like, you're just going to let her go?"
"I..."
"Don't let her go. Pursue your true love, okay?"
"Alright, I'll invite her for dinner."
Robert took out his cellphone. Her phone number was saved in his address book, but when he dialed the number, the voice of a little girl picked up. She was obviously not Linda.
Heart sinking, he hung up. Did she give him a wrong number?
"What's wrong, Robert?"
Robert smiled bitterly and showed Adam his phone. "She gave me the wrong number. A little girl answered. I guess she doesn't want to get in touch with me."
Adam paused.
He turned his good eye away from Robert.
