Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Chapter 140: 140 Third Uncle (2)_1

Huo Jinnan leaned back in a black leather chair, turning to gaze out of a large floor-to-ceiling window. He lit a cigarette and smoked charmingly.

Che Huan hadn’t heard his voice for a long time and spoke very softly, ”Mr. Huo, shall I hang up first?”

”Mhm.” Huo Jinnan’s slender fingers twirled the phone as the color in his eyes deepened gradually.

After a long wait, the call didn’t end hastily as usual. Hearing the sound of his smoking, Che Huan gently hung up the phone and stared at her phone screen, which was cracked.

When the call ended, Huo Jinnan stood up, still holding the phone to his ear and remained standing—

A simple white shirt, a black tie, and a meticulous collar; expansive swaths of sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden halo onto his figure.

He didn’t turn around until Huo Bei entered the room, then he tossed the phone on the desk.

Huo Bei laid a video copied from the breached surveillance system on the office desk, ”Sir, this is what you asked for.”

Huo Jinnan glanced down, ”Give it to the reporters.”

After her interview, Che Huan returned with little confidence.

She lay in bed, unable to wait for Qiao Qiao’s call and dialed her directly.

Qiao Qiao said she would be over in an hour.

Che Huan waited, but Qiao Qiao didn’t come for a while, anxiously peering out the window.

It wasn’t until there was a knock at the door that she came to her senses and quickly went to open it. Seeing Qiao Qiao, she asked worriedly, ”Are you really okay?”

”Look how scared you are, I’m fine, aren’t I back safe and sound?” Qiao Qiao sent a flirtatious glance Che Huan’s way.

Only then did Che Huan notice Qiao Qiao’s completely different look and couldn’t react for a moment!

Her previously smooth long hair was cut to ear-length, now styled into a retro inward-curling bob with bangs covering her pretty forehead. She wore a fluttering white long-sleeved goddess dress that, even with bright red lips, added an air of innocence...

”You’re really okay? Why the sudden artsy look?”

Qiao Qiao laughed, ”I’m fine, someone made a phone call, and he was unusually polite to me!”

Che Huan looked Qiao Qiao up and down, ”Planning to go on a date?”

Qiao Qiao twirled in a full circle, sounding quite vain, ”What do you think of my new style? Don’t I look like a pure schoolgirl?”

Che Huan let out a chuckle, ”Talking about high school students? You wish!”

When Qiao Qiao looked at Che Huan, she thought of the favor she had promised Gu Jizhou and averted her eyes.

If Huanhuan found out about that child, would Gu Jizhou let Huanhuan off easily?

It was a mistake. Maybe it was better for Huanhuan not to know and to start her brand-new life anew!

Suddenly, her mind drifted to the white Porsche that had picked up Che Huan downstairs that day, and she became momentarily lost in thought.

”Qiao Qiao?”

Hearing Che Huan’s voice, she came out of her reverie and looked at Che Huan.

Che Huan smiled at Qiao Qiao, ”What’s on your mind?”

”Men.” Qiao Qiao shot a coquettish glance at Che Huan, ”By the way, the lawyer Qin you mentioned last time, isn’t that the well-known ace lawyer Qin Shaojin?”

”Yes, have you heard of him too?” Che Huan turned to Qiao Qiao, surprised that she knew Qin Shaojin; indeed, he was famous enough for even nurses to know!

Qiao Qiao avoided Che Huan’s gaze, ”Just a sudden thought to ask. He’s quite a famous figure. So, are you having a second spring?”

”What second spring!” Che Huan thought of Qin Shaojin who had always been wrongly accused and felt somewhat guilty.

Looking at Huanhuan’s expression, it must be so!

She just hadn’t expected it to be him!
