Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Bingbing coldly said just one sentence, it was really—

She didn’t know what to say, nor did she understand what Qiao Qiao saw in him!

Qin Shaonan: ”Is there anything else?”

Shu Ran: ”Yan Xiaoxi, Huo Bei’s sister, seems to have been dismissed from the company. She probably doesn’t have the courage to tell Huo Bei. You might want to check it out.”

When he heard it was Huo Bei’s sister, Qin Shaonan responded, ”Understood.”

Shu Ran glanced around, ”Xiaoxi is back. Get back to me after you look into it. That’s all for now.”

Qin Shaonan hadn’t had a chance to speak before the call was abruptly ended.

It was the first time Shu Ran had hung up on the second brother, and she felt particularly good. Seeing Yan Xiaoxi enter, ”Xiaoxi, how did it go? What did Assistant Fang say?”

Yan Xiaoxi: ”Assistant Fang told me to focus on working in the special interest group.”

Shu Ran heard this and said, ”That’s good.”

But recalling Team Leader Nie’s previous words, Xiaoxi was introduced by Assistant Fang, likely due to ties with Huo Bei’s side. Since there were many people and they were all busy, it seemed detrimental to Jin Bo’s reputation. She chose not to say much more, keeping it to herself.

Yan Xiaoxi kept in mind what she’d asked of Assistant Fang, hoping he wouldn’t tell Jin Bo, although her hope was minimal.

Furthermore, she wasn’t sure if Jin Bo had seen the rumors.

She didn’t mention it to Fang Zheng.

In the evening, while resting, she received a call from Huo Bei and felt a pang of anxiety. Was he aware of the rumors or her dismissal?

Huo Bei: ”Xiaoxi, do you know Lu Yi?”

Yan Xiaoxi responded, ”Yes, I know him. He’s my ex-boyfriend. Brother, although we broke up years ago.”

Huo Bei: ”Understood.”

Xiaoxi was an intelligent girl; she knew what she was doing. Saying this meant the matter was resolved, and the rest he would investigate.

Yan Xiaoxi’s face felt warm; her brother must have recognized the shooting location, especially the unique blessing character at the entrance. ”Brother, did you return to Hong Kong?”

Huo Bei: ”Yes, just got back. Xiaoxi, is it tough in the troops, are you adjusting?”

Yan Xiaoxi gave a gentle smile, ”I’m adjusting well.”

Huo Bei remembered Wen Nuan and others planning to visit Mrs. Qin over the weekend, ”I’ll come see you this weekend.”

Yan Xiaoxi: ”Brother, there’s no need, you’re so busy...”

Huo Bei’s voice was gentle, ”No matter how busy, I’ll always find time to see my sister.”

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoxi’s heart softened a bit, suddenly feeling a sting, with eyes a little moist.

For years, she hadn’t cried, not even when breaking up with Lu Yi. Yet now, she found herself crying.

Huo Bei heard the faint sobbing and felt a sense of guilt. ”Xiaoxi, I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy lately.”

Yan Xiaoxi: ”I understand.”

Huo Bei thought about the rumors, ”Don’t mind the messages online. I’ll resolve them soon.”

Yan Xiaoxi: ”Okay.”

After hanging up, realizing she finally had someone to rely on, her heart warmed.

Thinking back to those times her boyfriend was stolen and she was cheated on, with no one to depend on, and being oppressed by Zhao Yiran, living a life of confusion and grief, she felt sympathy for her past self.

Thinking on this, just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was a call from Jin Bo, unsure of how to answer.

Back then, there certainly was a childhood friendship and a few years of sentiment with Lu Yi.

Hesitating, she hung up the call without answering.

Soon after, a text message arrived.

Yan Xiaoxi opened it for a glance—

”Good night, don’t be afraid, I’ve got your back.”
