Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Che Huan lazily snuggled into her blanket, one hand caressing the group leader next to her, ”Just got back, took a shower, getting ready to sleep.”

Nothing special happened?

Qiao Qiao was silent for a while, not hearing Che Huan’s voice. Could it be that the little demon of the Huo Family didn’t bully Huanhuan? Has that kid really fallen for Che Huan? So precocious!

After the calm, she slowly said, ”You’ve really hit a peach blossom streak lately, captivating both young and old!”

”What nonsense are you spouting?”

”I’ve heard all about it, the little demon from the Huo Family has taken a fancy to you and even brought you home!”

Little Demon?

At the mention of these three words, Che Huan couldn’t help but laugh, ”Such a lovely child, and you’re calling him Little Demon. Don’t you have a heart?”

Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes, ”What do you think! He’s the hospital’s top troublemaker, the biggest headache, has driven countless nurses insane. When I see him, I stay well away.”

Che Huan turned over, finding a more comfortable position and picturing the little guy’s rosy lips and white teeth, ”Really? He seems quite cute to me?”

Cute?

Hearing someone describe the little demon in such a way for the first time, Qiao Qiao choked, coughing until her face was red, ”That’s because you haven’t seen his devilish side. I guarantee that once you do, you won’t be calling him that again...”

So the little guy’s reputation was usually this bad?

Che Huan smiled, ”I forgot to tell you, he’s invited me to have lunch tomorrow.”

Qiao Qiao’s eyes nearly popped out, asking incredulously, ”Really?”

Che Huan hummed in affirmation, ”Goodnight, go to sleep early.”

Qiao Qiao, still stunned after the phone call ended, could hardly believe it. That kid had actually taken the initiative to invite Huanhuan for a meal. She really wanted to go and watch. Thinking of how the little guy threw his weight around in the hospital, she quickly dismissed the idea.

The next day

Che Huan looked at the group leader squatting beside her and worried. The creature’s daily food intake was astonishing; it had eaten her out of house and home in just a week, and was especially picky—refusing the bad and only eating the best and most expensive dog food!

Looking at her withering wallet, she poked the group leader’s head with her finger, ”What do we do?”

The group leader glanced at her, then dutifully sat to one side, pretending to notice nothing.

Charmed by its demeanor, Che Huan flicked its forehead, ”When your owner returns, remember to make him pay up your food bills.”

The group leader let out a whine, then cozily nestled back into Che Huan’s arms.

Che Huan was somewhat distressed. She had sent last month’s salary to her mother, leaving only living expenses—and now she was out of funds!

She called Qiao Qiao to borrow some money. Just as she was about to speak, looking down at the group leader, her phone rang.

Seeing an unfamiliar number, Che Huan hesitated but then answered it, soon hearing a timid boy’s voice, ”Huanhuan, can you come to pick me up right now?”

Che Huan was slow to respond.

The little guy was sitting on a sofa, nervously pursing his lips, ”It’s Little Hanhan.”

Recognizing the little guy’s voice, Che Huan quickly replied, realizing it was the young Huo from yesterday, ”Yeah, that’s fine.”

The little guy immediately cheered up, his lips curling into a smile. He glanced at his class schedule; there was still one class remaining. He decided to skip it altogether.

After hanging up, he called Uncle Lu, his young voice full of arrogance, ”Come pick me up later.”
