Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Che Huan looked at Huo Jinnan with lingering fear, and because of the dangerous element in his eyes, she quickly picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a bite of food, and put it into her mouth, completely unaware of its taste!

At the time of the divorce, she didn’t want to pour a bucket of dirty water over her own head.

Huo Jinnan let go of his grip.

Che Huan took her dinner to one side and ate silently.

Gu Jizhou stood downstairs, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had drenched him, ”Uncle, who were you talking to just now?”

Huo Jinnan pressed his thin lips together and asked indifferently, ”Is it important?”

Gu Jizhou stood there, his throat tightening in waves, ”Is it the girl you’re planning to bring to meet my great-grandfather for the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

”Yes.” Huo Jinnan flicked off some ash lightly, a thick haze clouding his eyes.

Gu Jizhou suddenly felt as if he couldn’t breathe, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Huo Jinnan hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and looked at Che Huan, ”Still in love with him?”

Che Huan wanted to say ”no love,” but felt that saying it in such a scenario seemed to take on a different flavor, so she slowly nodded her head.

As she looked up, she met his deep and penetrating gaze and quickly averted her eyes. However, she misplaced her chopsticks, which fell to the floor, leaving her face flushed with embarrassment.

Che Huan was about to bend down to pick them up when she encountered Huo Jinnan’s hand and quickly withdrew her own.

Huo Jinnan picked up the chopsticks and left the study. In less than ten minutes, he returned with a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Che Huan.

Che Huan took them and continued her dinner in silence.

After a while, she looked up at Huo Jinnan and asked softly, ”When will Lawyer Qin come back?”

Huo Jinnan looked at his watch—it was already past nine—and spoke in a very low voice, ”If Gu Jizhou doesn’t leave, he probably won’t come back.”

Che Huan asked hesitantly, ”Gu Jizhou isn’t going to stay the night, is he?”

”Quite possibly.” Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan, his eyes holding a depth she couldn’t understand.

Che Huan paused slightly, ”Are you friends with Lawyer Qin?”

Huo Jinnan flicked the ash off leisurely, ”Sort of.”

After a three-second pause, Che Huan asked again in a low voice, ”Does your involvement have anything to do with him taking my divorce case?”

Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan, his gaze resting on her, ”Do you want to hear ’yes’ or ’no’?”

”...” Che Huan was at a loss for words. He had so easily tossed the question back to her, not the usual slick tact!

She shifted her gaze away, not saying a word, feeling uncomfortable all over. Sitting with him like this all night, she really would end up with a heart condition!

Huo Jinnan watched Che Huan for a while and then stood up, ”Go sleep in the adjacent guest room in a bit.”

”What about you?” In an instant regret after asking the question, Che Huan swiftly avoided Huo Jinnan’s gaze.

Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan, his voice magnetic and alluring, ”Do you want to sleep with me?”

Che Huan’s face turned beet red, her breathing rapid and heated as she said, ”I’ll sleep in the study, and you take the guest room next door.”

Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan for a moment, a cryptic smile crossing his lips. He glanced sideways at the group leader, ”Take her to the guest room next door.”

The group leader wagged its tail at Che Huan.

Che Huan didn’t want to stay in the same room as Huo Jinnan and quickly followed the group leader.

Once in the guest room, she took a look around, locked the door behind her, and then became lost in thought realizing she had indeed locked the study door earlier.

How exactly had Huo Jinnan gotten into the study?

Che Huan quickly glanced at the door of the guest room and confirmed it again before slowly making her way to the bedside, where she stood and looked towards the door, suddenly remembering what he had said earlier.

”In this world, there’s no door I want to enter that I can’t,”...

Could he break through walls? Like the male leads in TV dramas?
