Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Huo Jinyun and Huo Qichang—

Thinking of these two, I felt that there were still many unknown stories between them.

Upon seeing Che Huan and Huo Jinnan entering the door after changing into their slippers, I smiled at Che Huan, my gaze then settling on Huo Jinnan, significantly cooler.

Huo Jinnan glanced at Qin Moting and shifted his gaze away from him, exchanged a brief pleasantry with the elderly Mrs. Qin, and walked over to Wen Ru, ”Mom, how are you feeling?”

Wen Ru smiled at Huo Jinnan, ”The surgery went quite well, I think.”

Huo Jinnan helped Che Huan to sit beside Wen Ru. Just as he was about to sit next to Che Huan, he noticed the little one frown and left a small gap between them.

The little one glanced at Huo Jinnan and sat between Wen Ru and Che Huan, speaking out with the manner of a little adult, ”Grandma, I heard from Shen Mubai that you were discharged last night. Why didn’t you stay in the hospital to recover for a few more days after the surgery?”

Wen Ru looked at the little one, ”Haven’t seen you for several days, you seem to have grown taller and a bit more tanned, too?”

The little one pursed his lips, ”Grandma, I’ve been practicing Taekwondo.”

...

The old lady watched them chatting happily from the side, feeling too shy to intrude, only looking on eagerly.

Qin Family’s patriarch looked toward Huo Jinnan, ”Are you busy on usual days?”

Huo Jinnan and the elder Mr. Qin chatted intermittently about business, current politics, and sports.

Qin Moting watched from the side, somewhat surprised that his father could get along with Huo Jinnan and that his father didn’t seem to mind his Huo Family identity.

I remembered that in the past, both the elder Mr. and Mrs. Qin were quite wary of the Huo Family members.

After chatting for a while, the little one turned to the elder Mr. and Mrs. Qin, ”Are you my maternal grandfather’s parents?”

The old lady had been eagerly waiting for a chance to speak and seized the opportunity with a tender smile, ”Yes, Xiaowei.”

She edged closer, trying to join in with Wen Ru and Qin Moting, but couldn’t get very close, leaning forward, looking at the handsome little one, her heart filled with affection, ”Yuanyuan went home and told me how handsome my little cousin has grown.”

Yuanyuan? Is that the Yuanyuan from Tuantuan and Yuanyuan? The one who had a crush on Huo Jinnan?

The little one sat there swinging his legs, ”Oh, so you are the one who asked her and her older brother to look after me?”

The old lady nodded.

The little one pouted discontentedly, hmph, did he look like someone easy to bully? Not sharp at all.

Thinking of her as Qin Xiaosan’s grandmother, ”How come I don’t see Xiaosan around?”

Che Huan couldn’t help but laugh a little listening from the side.

The old lady was there, looking dazed.

After staring at Che Huan for a long time, coming back to her senses and seeing the little one looking at her, she tugged the elder Mr. Qin and asked in a low voice, ”What did Xiaowei just ask me?”

The elder Mr. Qin reminded her softly, ”He’s asking about Xiaosan.”

The old lady uttered an ”oh,” looked back at the little one with a kind tone, ”Xiaosan, well, he doesn’t live here. Only your maternal grandparents live here.”

Turning to Wen Ru, she looked cautiously in Wen Ru’s direction. Although Wen Ru seemed cool and distant, she hadn’t given the old lady any unpleasant looks, yet, remembering how she once looked down on Wen Ru and thought Huo Jinyun was a good match, agreeing to the Huo Family’s marriage proposal which indirectly led to the subsequent tragedy, she felt like a thief in her heart.

Wen Ru, feeling the old lady’s gaze upon her and recalling the abruptly ended conversation outside the courthouse that day, let her own eyes fall on the old lady.
