Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Che Huan’s face felt as if it were on fire. Just as she was about to speak, she heard her uncle cough.

She looked towards Wen Hua.

Wen Hua glanced at Che Huan, his gaze falling on Huo Jinnan, who stood beside her.

Che Huan felt indignant as she glared at Wen Nuan.

She’s doomed me!

Her uncle is bound to misunderstand!

Wen Nuan was startled, then came to her senses, oblivious to her own father’s expression. She excitedly ran over and clasped Che Huan’s arm, exclaiming, ”Sister Huanhuan, so you’ve been sneaking around with him all this time, keeping me in the dark no matter how much I asked. That’s really mean!”

”...”

Che Huan suddenly felt her arm go stiff as Wen Nuan clung to it.

If Nuannuan didn’t mention it, it would have been fine, but now her uncle must have an even bigger misunderstanding!

Doesn’t Nuannuan realize that the atmosphere is off?

”I’m not going to compete with you for him, really!” Wen Nuan glanced in Huo Jinnan’s direction, not expecting that he looked even more attractive in a shirt. The top buttons were undone, revealing a stretch of firm pectorals—like a brooding male lead straight out of a novel! No, even more charismatic than any male lead!

Che Huan stood there, her ears also turning red, not knowing how to explain and looking towards Wen Hua, ”Uncle...”

Wen Hua’s eyes turned serious as he moved his gaze from Huo Jinnan to Che Huan. His voice was surprisingly solemn, ”This is the person who helped you last time, right?”

There was no way she could smooth over this lie.

Che Huan nodded faintly, her voice shrinking a little, ”Yes.”

Wen Hua turned to look at Bi Fu and spoke in a deep voice, ”Xiaofu, take Huanhuan and Nuannuan to the bedroom. I have something to say to this gentleman.”

Bi Fu didn’t respond; seeing Huo Jinnan’s features, she knew he was from the Huo Family.

She had always been worried that Che Huan would compromise with Gu Jizhou to save Old Wen, but it had never occurred to her that the person behind it all was from the Huo Family!

Could their relationship have already progressed to the point of ”cohabitation”?

Her expression grave, she looked towards Wen Hua.

Wen Hua nodded at Bi Fu.

Bi Fu looked at Che Huan and Wen Nuan, her usually warm face now showing a rare chill, ”Huanhuan, Nuannuan, come with me.”

Che Huan bit her lip and looked at Wen Hua, ”Uncle, it’s not what you think, he and I...”

Wen Hua’s hand rested on Che Huan’s shoulder, the movement slightly rigid, ”Huanhuan, go inside first.”

Che Huan glanced in Huo Jinnan’s direction.

In this situation, her uncle would trust nothing she said, especially since he had talked about getting registered with her.

On reflection, the whole situation was murky at best!

Huo Jinnan pinched her hand and gently pushed, his deep-set eyes conveying a message, ”Go inside.”

Che Huan was petrified on the spot—if there might have been a chance for explanations, his single gesture had solidified all suspicions!

What could she say now?

After a long time, Che Huan finally lowered her head to look at the man’s bony hand, her gaze fixing on it. He did it on purpose!

Was this his intention all along?

To ensure she couldn’t clarify things?

Wen Hua coughed softly.

Che Huan snapped back to reality and turned to glance in the direction of her aunt and Wen Nuan. She wrestled free from Huo Jinnan’s hold and entered the bedroom, her mind in turmoil, wondering what her uncle wanted to discuss with him.

It was futile to speak further.

Nothing could be done now, not even jumping into the Yellow River could cleanse her.

Bi Fu saw Wen Nuan already following Che Huan into the bedroom and hurried after them, closing the door behind her as she entered.

Wen Nuan had already begun interrogating Che Huan about Huo Jinnan, ”Sister Huanhuan, he isn’t the owner of the Regiment Leader, is he?”
