Can't Let Go novel Chapter 97

　　Time stood still as she uttered the words.

　　Body...

　　What an fantasy.

　　Michael Huo's hand holding the grass obviously paused, he was even more surprised to see Linda Yun.

　　She bit lips, a pair of eyes staring at him in stillness.

　　Her fingers pressed harder and her voice became soft and timid. "Could you... Help me?"

　　The sound, like a wronged kitten, tickled the heart.

　　Just then, the waiter served some dishes.

　　"Let's eat." he smiled and raised his glass.

　　Linda Yun blinked in front of the man, squeezed out a false smile on the small face. "Okay!"

　　She was not hungry.

　　Not hungry at all.

　　But she still needed eatting.

　　She was begging for help.

　　Even if it was the last person she wanted to ask.

　　Michael Huo looked at her gently chewing the food in the mouth, instead of swallowing. Once he suspected this dishes were unsavoury.

　　Linda Yun tried to swallow the food in her mouth.

　　Then she handed up the wine to take a sip in front of him.

　　Her eyes drooped, her long lashes masking the true emotion in her eyes.

　　They were taciturn.

　　An hour and a half later.

　　The man paid the bill, and Linda Yun stood up.

　　He naturally wrapped his hand around her shoulder.

　　However the very simple action made her subconsciously move aside.

　　He did not mention it, but slightly drooping eyes and handsome face uncovered the upset. "Are you sure... Want me to help you?"

　　Linda Yun lifted eyes to watch him, a little while, a unexpected smile.

　　The next second, her trembling hand took his wrist. "Of course!"

　　He knew she was nervous and it would be difficult to take this step.

　　But the doctor's words kept ringing in his ears.

　　Only by breaking her conservation and fear perhaps she gradually got better.

　　Originally he wanted to protect her, until she slowly opened his heart.

　　But now that he had the chance to help her overcome that fear ahead of time, why not?

　　Soon, they two got on board.

　　The car barreled along at a high speed.

　　After forty minutes.

　　At Huo House, as soon as they entered, the steward led them to cafe, saying that Master and Madame had been waiting for a long time.

　　They two looked at each other, knowing it clearly.

　　So they went to the cafe.

　　David Huo and Qu Zhirong were drinking coffee, while one was reading the newspaper, the other was teasing the cat.

　　"Master, Madame! The Young Master and Young Madame are here." said the steward.

　　David Huo headed up. "Well, come here."

　　"Father! Mother!" Linda Yun regarded them with courtesy.

　　"Oh, have a seat!" David Huo was polite.

　　But Qu Zhirong always teased the cat in her arms without glimpse.

　　"Tingchen, ah, what was up in this afternoon? Did you reject Yun Group?" David Huo put down the newspaper and looked at him.

　　"I have not rejected any companies that is conducive to develop the Huo Group. But I have said that fair bid is tomorrow. If we sign the contract abruptly, it will make the outsiders say that we have decided internally."

　　David Huo nodded, "Certainly, but I know more or less all the companies biding for the project, few of which can be compared with Yun Group. I believe they all know it. So it won't stir up any discontent."

　　"Precisely because of this, we should be more careful. After all, 'fair public competitive bid' four words already exposed Huo Group to the spot light this time, not to mention the all sorts of gossips that major companies are struggling to grab this project with all their efforts, the news led us to occupy the headlines of various economic channels. Now, the time is around the corner, if we suddenly contract with Yun Group internally, what will they think? Even if it is not good, we'll see the results tomorrow, at least let the loser convince!"

　　The man's legs were crossed, he spoke slowly and clearly, and his posture was languid and relaxed.

　　His words stunned Linda Yun.

　　She always knew that Michael Huo was an elite in business.

　　But unexpectedly, his business model was so clear and intelligent.

　　David Huo nodded. "All right, do whatever you want. Anyway, you will eventually contract with Yun Group, sooner or later."

　　Michael Huo smiled slightly and did not chime in.

　　"Linda Yun!" At that moment, Qu Zhirong called her name.

　　Linda Yun came back to her and looked at her.

　　"Why don't you care a bit about your brother's accident? Has it anything to do with you as the rumor goes?" Qu zhirong observed her action, touching puppet cat in arms again and again.

　　"Mom, this joke is barely funny." Linda Yun hooked up lips. "I'm incapable of it, and even unable to judge his accident. The reason that I didn't go seeing him mainly because... I'm starting my own company."
