Daddy Always Gets Jealous

The faint scent of tobacco quickly dispersed, filling every inch of space around her, so alluring that it sent one’s heart into disarray.

The vague feelings inside seemed to swell, like bubbles endlessly popping one after another without pause, rapidly filling her chest —

Until only the cigarette butt remained, Huo Jinnan looked down at it, removed his hand from her shoulder, and tossed the butt into the nearby trash can.

Che Huan hurriedly stood up, about to flee in panic, when suddenly she was lifted by her waist and placed on the bed, falling instantly parallel with the mattress before she could react.

Huo Jinnan took off his clothes, turned off the light, and lay down beside her, ”I’ve driven over five hours from Hong Kong and am a bit tired, so let’s keep it quiet.”

”...”

Che Huan lay stiffly on the bed, watching Huo Jinnan pull the covers over and close his eyes, her breathing uneven. He had the nerve to sleep in her bed just like that!

It wasn’t long before he seemed to fall asleep.

The man’s sensually light snoring reached her ears, pleasing to listen to, as if the notes of a captivating flute were tickling her body, almost like the feeling of being electrified, spreading through her veins!

She glanced sideways, aided by the moonlight streaming through the window, observing Huo Jinnan. Looking at the man’s sleeping features, she thought of the ”Quiet and Beautiful Man” — wasn’t this the déjà vu she felt?

However, his beauty wasn’t the feminine kind, but sharp and vibrant with masculinity, just as Nuannuan had said, it felt very manly, not like the popular pretty boys of today, but more like a walking hormone emitter!

Her face heated up, Che Huan shifted her gaze away, thinking back to that night in the Huo Mansion when they’d shared a bed, too scared to move, just lying there in silence.

Although she was very sleepy at first, suddenly she couldn’t fall asleep, staring at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.

After a while, she realized that Jizhou hadn’t been in the room.

It seemed like Jizhou had disappeared ever since he arrived. Where had he gone?

...

The next day, when she woke up, the warmth beside her was gone.

But turning her head, she saw women’s panties drying on the balcony —

Her breath suddenly became erratic!

Had he washed them?

In her mind emerged the image of the man’s long, impressive hands, and her face grew hotter. After a while, she looked away, got up, and saw a note on the bedside, ”Come tonight.”

He was coming again tonight?

She stared at the strong, vigorous writing for a long while before coming to her senses and glancing at the time — it was already nine o’clock!

Had her uncle and aunt not come to call her?

After hastily washing up, she stepped out of the guest room only to find Jizhou waiting at the door.

She rushed to the hospital where her uncle, aunt, and Wen Nuan were all present.

Che Huan felt somewhat embarrassed; her uncle had been tired for several days without proper rest, yet she had overslept!

Fortunately, nobody mentioned anything, as if nothing had happened.

Che Huan sat down, her face turning pink with embarrassment.

It was Wen Ru who spoke first, ”Nuannuan, did Gu Jizhou come looking for you last night?”

Che Huan nodded.

Wen Ru’s face looked grim, ”Since you’re divorced, you should cut ties completely.”

”Mom, I understand.”

Che Huan pushed her bangs aside and cast a glance at Jizhou.

Wen Nuan tugged at Che Huan’s arm, ”What does Gu Jizhou mean by this? Does he want to remarry or what?”

Che Huan smiled at Wen Nuan, ”I definitely won’t remarry. There’s no sense in jumping out of a fire pit only to jump back in, right?”

Wen Nuan nodded vigorously, her thoughts wandering to her idol. She sneakily looked in Wen Ru’s direction, wondering if her aunt would oppose knowing that Sister Huanhuan was seeing Gu Jizhou’s uncle.
