Daddy Always Gets Jealous

”Since Uncle Three has nothing to tell, then I’m sorry.”

Huo Jinnan lifted his hand, his slender fingers playing with a cigarette, he looked down, slowly extinguishing it with a deliberate motion.

Qin Mochuan was also a clever man, understanding what Huo Jinnan meant; he was like the cigarette in the other man’s hand. However— to light his own lamp, he would have to snuff out the light in someone else’s.

He looked at Huo Jinnan, ”Jinnan, I’m not intentionally targeting Che Huan. The matching heart was given to me by someone else, with the condition that I take care of her, I had no choice.”

Huo Jinnan’s gaze fell on Qin Mochuan, staring at him.

Qin Mochuan stood there, with an open and frank expression.

After watching for a while, Huo Jinnan asked in a low voice, ”Uncle Three doesn’t know she’s my woman?”

Qin Mochuan closed his eyes, silent for a while before speaking slowly, ”Sometimes people become greedy.”

Huo Jinnan said nothing else, looking at Qin Shaojin, ”Take Uncle Three back.”

Qin Mochuan didn’t know what he meant, opened his eyes, and looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan turned around, looked at Huo Bei, ”Go start the car.”

Huo Bei drove over and pulled up beside Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan pulled open the car door, got in, swiftly closed the door, and in that instant, the black Bentley started up and quickly disappeared from Qin Mochuan’s sight into the night.

Qin Shaojin looked at Qin Mochuan, who was still standing there, ”Uncle Three, not going back?”

Qin Mochuan turned his head, staring at Qin Shaojin for a long time.

Qin Shaojin, with a smile in his eyes, said, ”I’m sorry, Uncle Three, I didn’t know beforehand that it was here. On the way, I got a call from Huo Jinnan. If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have gotten my legal fees for this year.”

”Shaojin, you’re even scheming against your own uncle.”

Qin Mochuan spoke darkly, pulled open the car door, got in, and forcefully shut the door.

Qin Shaojin didn’t say anything, took the driver’s seat, drove back to the city center, and dropped Qin Mochuan halfway, ”Uncle Three, it’s very late and I’m afraid of driving while fatigued. If something happens halfway, it’s convenient to take a taxi here, so you can just catch a cab back.”

Qin Mochuan cursed inwardly, damn it, but not wanting to fall out with his nephew, simply said, ”Alright”, and got out of the car.

Seeing Qin Mochuan get out, Qin Shaojin started the car and drove away.

On the way back to his apartment, he picked up his phone to call Huo Jinnan, ”Brother Huo, for your sake, I’ve offended my Uncle Three. Now I’m in a real bind, neither here nor there. Just look at how genuinely devoted I am to you.”

Huo Jinnan had just returned to Nanyuan Villa, was entering and changing into his slippers, ”I’ll settle your account in advance.”

”Thanks, Brother Huo.”

Qin Shaojin wedged the phone between his neck and shoulder, reached for a bottle of Veen with his other hand, twisted off the cap, and took a sip, ”Oh, and there’s one more thing, I wonder if you’re interested.”

”Speak.”

Huo Jinnan handed his suit to the housekeeper, turned and went upstairs.

Listening to the footsteps coming through the phone, quick and steady, Qin Shaojin’s lips curved into a smirk, ”In a rush to sleep with your woman?”

Huo Jinnan reached the bedroom door, pushed it open, and saw Che Huan leaning against the headboard, asleep without even having taken off her clothes, his voice softened a few notches, ”Do you have an issue with that?”

”Wouldn’t dare.”

”Get to the point.”

Qin Shaojin set the Veen aside, took the phone in hand, and sat up straight, ”I’m planning to be a visiting professor at the Law University in September, want to join for some fun?”

Hearing the implication in his words, Huo Jinnan’s brows furrowed, ”Speak plainly.”
