Daddy Always Gets Jealous

She wanted to reach out and stop him, but thinking of her uncle, her hands dropped to her sides again.

”I’m not interested in women who throw themselves at me.”

Suddenly, she heard a deep, cold voice followed by the sound of fading footsteps and then a ”bang” as the door was slammed shut, setting off an echo in the suite.

She opened her eyes, and Huo Jinnan was already gone.

It was quiet for a while, and Che Huan sat up, staring at the door, lost in thought. Would he help her?

She had no way of contacting him and no way to confirm.

She dressed herself, glanced at the man’s suit jacket she was clutching, put it on, and returned a call to Gu Yunqing, ”President Gu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back.”

Gu Yunqing’s face looked awful. He clutched the steering wheel tightly, not controlling his strength, and the engine suddenly died. He stomped on the accelerator in frustration, ”Alright, head back then. First thing tomorrow, come to my office.”

Che Huan hung up the phone, left Yunshang, and made a call to her cousin Wen Nuan, ”Nuannuan, how’s Aunt doing?”

Learning that her Aunt’s mental state was very poor and that she hadn’t eaten, drunk, or slept for several days, Che Huan sighed softly, ”Nuannuan, take good care of Aunt. I’ll find a way to save Uncle.”

”Cousin, no matter what, don’t go looking for him—promise me, okay?”

”I understand.”

After hanging up, Che Huan quickly left the club.

Standing at the entrance, she waited for a while but saw no taxis. She tried hailing a ride with her phone app but got no takers. Thus, she could only stand there on the curb, crippled and waiting like a rabbit for a hawk.

...

In private room number two, Yu Zimu sat closest to the door, peering down the corridor. Hearing the heavy slam of the door next to him, he glanced sideways at Shen You, ”Only twenty minutes? That fast, no way, right?”

Shen You stayed silent, his gaze shifting behind Yu Zimu.

Yu Zimu turned around and the sudden shadow before him came into focus as Huo Jinnan. He wanted to bite his own tongue.

Huo Jinnan stood in front of Yu Zimu, looking down, ”To the Training Room.”

What? The Training Room! Huo Jinnan’s Training Room was no ordinary place!

”Bro Huo, I was wrong, really wrong!” Yu Zimu, regretful, looked at Huo Jinnan, wondering how he could move without a sound!

”Let’s go,” said Huo Jinnan as he turned and walked out of the room.

”...” Yu Zimu desperately glanced at Shen You and Qin Shaonan for help, but why was it him again?

Shen You gave a hypocritically sympathetic pat on Yu Zimu’s shoulder, ”Muzi, neither your Taekwondo nor your Sanda techniques are solid. It’s good for Huo Ge to give you a proper training.”

As soon as his words fell, a chill comment floated in from the doorway, ”Come along.”

Shen You didn’t dare to call for Qin Shaonan. With three of them, it was Huo Ge beating them up. If it were four, it would be Shaonan and Huo Ge teaming up to beat him and Muzi.

In his heart, he screamed ”I don’t want to,” but he still quietly followed.

Soon, Shen You heard footsteps behind him. Turning back, he saw Qin Shaonan following, ”Shaonan, aren’t you supposed to be...”

”More interested in a training session,” Qin Shaonan trailed at the back, ordered the waiter to put the bill on Huo Jinnan’s tab, and caught up. He had only walked a few steps when he saw Huo Jinnan abruptly stop.

Following Huo Jinnan’s gaze, he saw Che Huan standing on her tiptoes and looking towards the intersection.

When she turned back, Che Huan also saw Huo Jinnan.
