Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Unable to hear Huo Jinnan’s voice, Huo Jinyun couldn’t help but shudder, ”Anan, are you listening?”

Just then, the call was cut off, and a busy tone sounded.

Huo Jinnan looked towards Huo Bei, ”No need to check.”

”...”

Huo Bei looked at Huo Jinnan, what did the gentleman mean by that? Could it be that the call was from Miss Che Huan?

Huo Jinnan glanced at Huo Bei, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and watched the blue flame on the lighter, taking long, deliberate drags from the cigarette.

Huo Bei, Huo Jinbei, and Huo Jinxue stood beside him, watching him.

Huo Jinnan’s face was devoid of any emotion. After smoking for a while, he extinguished the cigarette butt between his fingers and got up to leave the ward, ”Have Shen Mubai prepare for surgery.”

————Yunqi Academy————

Army Hospital, high-ranking officials’ ward

Huo Jinnan stood in front of the hospital bed, looked down at Huo Qichang with his leg in a cast, and placed a divorce agreement next to the pillow, ”Sign it.”

Huo Qichang lay there, glanced sideways, and saw the words ”divorce agreement,” his eyes suddenly contracted, ”I won’t sign it.”

”Gu Jizhou once said the same thing.”

Huo Jinnan stood in front of the hospital bed, his gaze piercingly cold as he stared at Huo Qichang, with not a trace of warmth in his eyes, and the atmosphere around them grew chillier and chillier.

Huo Qichang lay there, managing a bitter smile. So, that was Che Huan’s purpose in getting close to Anan. What was her next step? Who was her target?

So smart, his father, yet in the end, he fell right into the trap he had set himself!

This was just the beginning, not the end, right?

Married to Jizhou, she endured humiliation for five years, and then, five years later, became Xiaowei’s mother.

That night, five years ago, must have been Che Huan’s calculation as well, right?

It didn’t matter. To save Xiaoqin, he would carry this burden!

He closed his eyes, saying nothing, and did not sign.

Huo Jinnan stood there for a while, then said in a low voice, ”Huo Qichang, for all these years, what have you considered my mother to be?”

Huo Qichang was startled; it was only the second time in so many years that Anan had called him by his full name.

After a long while, he barely squeezed out the words, ”wife.”

”A chess piece or a wife?”

Huo Jinnan glanced at Huo Qichang, ”Just see how long you can drag this out. The agreement is left there. When you’re ready to sign, give me a call, and I’ll have Huo Bei come to collect it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Huo Qichang twisted his head to stare at Huo Jinnan’s retreating figure, his vision blurring as he watched for a long time.

Exiting the hospital, Huo Jinnan had only walked a few steps when he happened to run into Uncle Guan.

Uncle Guan looked at Huo Jinnan, ”Second Master.”

Huo Jinnan did not make a sound but stopped and looked at Uncle Guan.

Uncle Guan seemed to want to say something, but suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Under that daunting gaze, he felt a compelling aura that made it hard for him to breathe, sending a shiver of ice through his veins.

Huo Jinnan asked in a cold tone, ”Uncle Guan has no wife or children, but surely you have relatives, like a father or mother, don’t you? But do you even understand what it means to have human emotions and social etiquette?”

”...”

Uncle Guan stood there as if mute, having never married in his life and having followed the old master, but the Second Young Master’s words were a bit too harsh.

Did the Second Young Master know?

The thought made him shiver all over.

Huo Jinnan huffed lightly, ”Tell Huo Chengshan to behave himself.”

Addressing the old master by his full name!

Uncle Guan looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan had already stood up to leave.

Uncle Guan stood there, took a deep breath, and after a long time, made a phone call to the old master, ”I just bumped into the Second Young Master, and he seems to be aware.”

”Haven’t we left behind no evidence?”
