Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Wen Nuan ”Hmm” with a nod, affectionately linked arms with Che Huan, ”Sister Huanhuan, how about you don’t leave tonight?”

Che Huan smiled and went to the bedroom with Wen Nuan, both squeezing into one quilt, chatting together as they did when they were children.

Wen Nuan looked at Che Huan with concern, ”Sister Huanhuan, did you really not go find him?”

Che Huan shook her head and pinched Wen Nuan’s chubby cheeks, ”Do you think your cousin is that foolish?”

Wen Nuan gave a simple-hearted smile, nodded vigorously, her eyes still swollen like peaches, ”Of course not, my cousin is the smartest.”

...

Half an hour later, Bi Fu left the house and saw that the lights in Wen Nuan’s bedroom were off. She quietly returned to her room and made a phone call with her mobile phone, speaking fiercely, ”Gu Jizhou, if you plan to use Wen Huawei to threaten Huanhuan, you can drop dead! Even if he’s sentenced to death, he will never let you succeed!”

As soon as she finished, she hung up the call, restless, staring out into the night, unable to sleep.

————Yunqi Academy————

The next day, as soon as Che Huan arrived at the company, she went straight to Gu Yunqing’s office, ”President Gu.”

Gu Yunqing turned around and leaned back in his office chair, squinting at Che Huan, ”Do you know who Mr. Huo is?”

Che Huan shook her head.

Gu Yunqing scrutinized her for a moment, then picked up a document from the table, scanning it carelessly, letting Che Huan stand there.

Che Huan did not speak, just stood quietly, knowing it was because of last night’s events, it was evident that President Gu had a liking for Mr. Huo.

Gu Yunqing kept flipping through the document, with the images from last night filling his mind, not registering anything he read. After a while, he threw the document heavily onto the desk, glanced at Che Huan, and said lazily, ”He is Jizhou’s uncle.”

Gu Jizhou’s uncle!

Che Huan stared at Gu Yunqing in astonishment, suddenly, her lips feeling dry and her palms breaking out in a sweat.

Was it really so, could her uncle still be saved?

Gu Yunqing’s gaze fell on Che Huan, pleased with her reaction, ”Go on now, work hard, and don’t harbor inappropriate thoughts.”

”President Gu, I understand.”

Che Huan left the General Manager’s office, still shaken.

Gu Yunqing watched Che Huan’s retreating figure, thinking of the night before, when his sister-in-law mentioned that Huo Jinnan went to Gu Mansion to pick up the commander but did not enter, only sending Huo Bei to collect him. If the commander had been staying in that room, jumping around, his vigilance would certainly have noticed something.

However, he wondered if Huo Bei would speak out of turn.

Would Huo Bei have been aware of that night five years ago?

If he were smart, he would know that she was bound to become the lady of the Huo Family, and he wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly.

Nevertheless, she felt somewhat uneasy, for with Huo Jinnan’s experience, he was sure to notice something.

She suddenly regretted last night’s rashness, wanting only to test the waters. She hadn’t expected that dumb dog to come barging in, causing so much trouble!

It seemed that she had to deal with Che Huan sooner rather than later.

...

Back in her office, Che Huan sat at her desk, her mind in turmoil, her fingers tightly intertwined, growing increasingly agitated.

What to do?

He had said there would be news within a week, never had she felt a week could be so excruciating.

She wanted to contact him for confirmation but had no way to reach him.

After sitting for a while, Che Huan looked at her laptop’s screen and typed in the three characters for ”Mr. Huo.” All that came up were some messy messages, nothing useful.

After work, she took a taxi to Qiao Qiao’s place to pick up a suit, then made a trip to Yunshang, where she found the manager from that day, ”I’m looking for Mr. Huo.”
