Daddy Always Gets Jealous

The old master closed his eyes, his voice heavy.

Though there was no evidence, he also didn’t expect to really keep the secret from Anan, given Anan’s intelligence, seeing through these things wouldn’t be difficult.

Actually, he just needed there to be no evidence.

After a pause, he said in a low voice, ”Let me know when Xiaoqin’s surgery is successful.”

Uncle Guan had the young master’s words on the tip of his tongue, but still swallowed them back and didn’t pass them on to the old master.

————Yunqi Academy————

Huo Jinnan didn’t go back to the hospital and headed straight to Yunshang.

Yu Zimu, Shen You, Qin Shaonan, and Qin Shaojin were all there.

Huo Jinnan looked towards Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin, thinking of what his fourth uncle said about Miss Cheng being very safe, sat there properly as if he knew nothing.

Huo Jinnan watched for a while, then diverted his eyes and smiled with a curve of his lips.

Qin Shaojin laughed harmlessly, ”Huo brother, your smile is so enchanting, if I were a woman, I’d definitely fall in love with you.”

”If you were a woman, you’d be a disaster of beauty. I couldn’t afford you.”

Huo Jinnan lit a cigarette, took a drag, looked up and glanced at Qin Shaojin.

Shaojin sat there, adjusting his collar, ”I’ll take that as a compliment from you, Huo brother.”

Huo Jinnan didn’t make a sound, his gaze sweeping across Shaojin’s face.

Qin Shaojin sat there, smiling bewitchingly.

Next to them, Yu Zimu and Shen You didn’t quite understand what play Huo brother and Qin Xiaosan were putting on; it was totally baffling.

After a while, Huo Jinnan’s eyes turned cold, ”Xiaosan, one day, you better not fall into my hands.”

Qin Shaojin touched his wrist, ”Huo brother, we have always loved each other like brothers. Saying that, you hurt my heart.”

”Just understand for yourself.”

Huo Jinnan didn’t say anything more and looked at the waiter on the side.

The waiter came forward, set up the mahjong, and shuffled the tiles for them.

The private room was rarely quiet, the only sound was the crisp clinking of mahjong tiles colliding.

After a while, the waiter looked at Huo Jinnan, ”Mr. Huo, it’s ready.”

Huo Jinnan didn’t speak, pinched the dice between his long fingers and rolled them on the table, sweeping a glance then fixing his eyes on Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin was the first to draw tiles.

And that’s how they played for a dozen rounds, with Yu Zimu losing the worst.

Yu Zimu sat there, starting to cry poor, ”Huo brother, Qin Xiaosan, take it easy, at this rate, I’ll lose even my underwear.”

Huo Jinnan raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Zimu, ”Have some dignity; then you can just walk out bare-assed.”

”...”

Yu Zimu felt grievance. Was there such a boss who treated his own subordinate this way? Even Huang Shiren wasn’t this cruel!

Shen You was also losing but kept silent the whole time, having heard from Shen Mubai that Auntie Zhong was currently undergoing surgery, and the heart that matched was sent by Huo Jinyun.

He didn’t know what was going on inside, but the whole affair was extremely mysterious!

Could it be that Huo brother made a deal using Miss Cheng and Huo Jinyun?

With this thought, he dared not look at Huo brother’s face any longer; Huo brother’s mood clearly wasn’t good! It was enough for Yu Zimu to charge in and become cannon fodder alone; he didn’t need to go out and get bombed too.

Nevertheless, those few sentences Huo brother said to Qin Xiaosan earlier had a hint of suspense.

Obviously, Qin Xiaosan wouldn’t side with Huo Jinyun, but why was that?

Looking up at Qin Shaojin, he saw that Shaojin sat there, chatting and laughing merrily, as if nothing had happened.

Qin Shaonan talked very little, only sitting on the side watching the others play mahjong.

Huo Jinnan was even more silent, his gaze never leaving the tiles in his hand and the cigarette between his fingers.

They made it past midnight, all the way to 2 am, when the phone that had been quietly lying next to Huo Jinnan’s hand rang.

He glanced at it and didn’t answer, stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and left the private room.
