Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Wen Ru took a deep breath, ”On the 20th, in the early morning, there was a car accident on the road outside the south gate of the Law University. It involved a truck hitting Qin Moting’s head. The hospital they went to at the time was the Army Hospital, and the doctor who received him was a Dr. Chen.”

Dr. Chen?

Thinking of Huo Jinyun’s attending physician during her hospitalization being named Chen Xuebin, he pressed down on his cigarette, ”Mhm.”

As Wen Ru thought about the car accident, she bit her lip tightly, ”Apart from the Qin family’s old lady, the eyewitness who saw my mother killed also included Qin Mochuan.”

Huo Jinnan, ”Okay.”

Gradually, Wen Ru’s breathing became heavier, ”The death of my father was... your grandfather’s doing, and that police station’s chief is named Zhao Rugang.”

Huo Jinnan’s voice was very low, ”I’ll call mom back when there’s news.”

Thinking of Che Huan, Wen Ru calmed down, ”Anan, take good care of Huanhuan.”

”Alright.”

Huo Jinnan didn’t mention the twins. Shen Mubai had said that day that the twin sacs had primary heart tube pulsations, and they were dizygotic twins. But Che Huan’s anemia would become more severe after pregnancy. As the months went by and due to the twins, the anemia would become increasingly serious, easily causing fainting and requiring someone to accompany her at all times.

Regarding the babies, it was also likely that one could develop abnormally, with the two embryos competing in a survival of the fittest scenario, leading to the loss of the weaker one, turning a twin pregnancy into a singleton.

So it was better not to bring it up!

Shen Mubai said he would do his best, and there was nothing else he could do but leave it to fate.

After hanging up the call, he looked at the burning cigarette between his fingers, his eyes ink-dark.

Upon hearing the door, he looked up and saw Che Huan coming in. He pushed the documents on the table aside, ”Come here.”

Che Huan approached with a charming smile, ”I came to find a book to read.”

Huo Jinnan was sitting there, his whole body tense, ”I am a book, just sit there and read at your leisure.”

Che Huan picked up a book from the side, ”So this is the real Huo Jinnan.”

Huo Jinnan looked at Che Huan, dressed in wide-leg pants and a white shirt accentuating her slender waist, ”What did you think I was like before?”

Che Huan, holding the book, took a seat beside him, ”Like a textbook.”

Huo Jinnan reached for the cigarette pack, tapped it a few times with his fingers, pulled out a cigarette then put it back again, ”I thought you were a goody-two-shoes, but you’re quite a surprise, Che Huan.”

”...”

Che Huan sat there, stunned, staring at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan stood up and walked to the balcony, turned around, his strong shoulders filling out a pale white shirt, ”If you keep looking at me that way, don’t blame me for causing trouble in the first three months.”

Che Huan, still holding the book, silently left the study. Huo Jinnan reached for his mobile phone in his dress pants and called the phone downstairs, ”Mom, please spend more time with Huanhuan. She has anemia, and it’s a twin pregnancy which will get more severe. She needs someone to look after her all the time.”

Zhong Qin had just come back from a walk outside, ”I understand. Why haven’t I heard you mention the twins before?”

Huo Jinnan lowered his voice, ”Don’t tell her about it for now.”

Zhong Qin realized that many twin pregnancies turn into a singleton. Having already experienced the pain of losing a child once, Anan probably didn’t want her to go through it a second time if something happened.

Seeing Che Huan descend the stairs, Zhong Qin hung up the phone.

Che Huan sat down on the couch, holding a book in her hands.

Zhong Qin walked over, sat next to Che Huan, ”I was thinking you might be bored during your pregnancy. I contacted the school and arranged for you not to have to attend classes in person. You can study all the courses at home, then just go to the school to take the exams. If you pass, you can get your diploma just the same, how about that?”
