Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Huo Bei, Uncle Lu, and Rong Ma listened clearly, ”Understood, sir.”

The little guy also nodded his head, happily pursing his small lips, ”I won’t go telling others, I’m very tight-lipped, you know.”

Zhong Qin sat there, looking toward Huo Jinnan. In fact, Anan’s words were mainly for her, weren’t they? He was probably afraid that saying it directly would make her feel uncomfortable.

She looked at Uncle Lu and Rong Ma, ”If the young miss returns in the future, pay attention and don’t let her find out.”

”...”

Thinking of how the master didn’t allow them to let the young miss in, Uncle Lu and Rong Ma exchanged glances and responded, ”Understood, ma’am.”

Zhong Qin patted Xiaowei’s head, ”Would you like a little brother or a little sister?”

”A sister!”

The little guy voiced out with certainty.

Huo Jinnan glanced at the little guy.

The little guy pursed his lips, his voice soft and adorable, ”Of course, a little brother is fine, too, but I’m just worried about the burden on dad and mom, right? Isn’t it said nowadays that a daughter is like China Merchants Bank, and a son is like China Construction Bank? If we have two China Construction Banks, how tired dad would be...”

He was about to continue when he heard Huo Jinnan’s cool voice, ”It’s not for you to decide.”

The little guy ”oh”-ed, lowering his head to drink soup. See? Having a little brother just like Huo Jinnan would be so annoying! It was inconvenient for Huanhuan to pick him up, and if he upset Huo Jinnan again, maybe Huo Jinnan would never come to pick him up at the school gate again. How embarrassing that would be for him! Like a child with no parents!

Che Huan looked at the little guy, seemingly coming to an understanding, then turned her head to look at Huo Jinnan, ”Feeling neglected, aren’t you?”

Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan and was about to speak when his phone rang.

He stood up and went to the balcony.

Che Huan raised her head, looking in the direction of the balcony, her gaze falling on his tall and straight figure.

Although he hadn’t said much, he had been very busy these past few days, spending several hours in the study each time—

She feared that besides the matter of the contracts, there was something else!

Zhong Qin looked at Che Huan, ”Huanhuan, eat more, don’t worry about him. Anan has been in the military since he was very young; the training was very tough, so this bit of busyness and tiredness is nothing to him.”

Che Huan and Zhong Qin talked about some past events of his time in the military.

It was then she learned about his past, which shone like the sun. Looking back at the figure on the balcony in the sunlight, he seemed to grow even taller.

Zhong Qin looked at Che Huan, ”So his grandfather still hopes for him to return to the military; he might not give up so easily.”

Che Huan remained silent, feeling somewhat upset in her heart. Had he completely lost hope in the old master of the Huo Family?

Thinking back to the time Jian Jun suggested he wear his military uniform for another round of wedding photos and how he refused, to him that place and uniform were sacred. If it wasn’t for the old master’s blind partiality, he wouldn’t have destroyed the faith in his heart!

Huo Bei observed Che Huan’s expression; was the lady hiding her feelings too well, or was she truly deeply attached to the master?

Thinking this, he spoke softly, ”Madam, the master will not go back.”

Che Huan snapped back to reality and looked at Huo Bei.

Huo Bei talked about some of their past times in the military camp.

Che Huan listened, completely engrossed.

Accidentally mentioning Qin Shaoling made the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Huo Bei quickly steered away from the subject.

Che Huan didn’t have the courage to delve deeper; everyone has a past. She had one, and so did he. He didn’t judge her past, and she didn’t ask about his. All that mattered was the present and the future.

Huo Jinnan finished the call and came over, hearing their conversation, he looked at Huo Bei, ”Too talkative.”
