Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Qin Moting looked at Wen Ru sleeping soundly, ”I’ll watch over here, you go take care of Huanhuan.”

Huo Jinnan reached into the pocket of his suit, found half a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, took them out, and placed them on the table beside the hospital bed, ”No need to thank me.”

”...” Qin Moting pinched the cigarette in his hand, his fingers curled, without making a sound.

Huo Jinnan glanced over, then turned and walked out the door.

Qin Moting turned to look at his retreating figure, stared for a while, then his gaze fell back onto the pack of cigarettes and lighter on the table.

Men like Huo Jinnan really do suit the taste of young girls nowadays, with each of them calling him a male god and darling husband!

He wasn’t very fond of him, but it seemed unnecessary for him to be. As long as Che Huan liked him, that was good enough.

Thinking of Che Huan, Qin Moting looked towards Wen Ru on the hospital bed, saw the IV tubing slide off the blanket, reached out to pick it up, placed it beside Wen Ru’s hand, and whispered, ”Have I done something to make you sad?”

”Probably, but I just can’t remember.”

————Yunqi Academy————

Huo Jinnan entered the resting room to see Che Huan sleeping restlessly, her brows tightly knitted; his slender fingers caressed gently, bit by bit.

Only when Che Huan’s brows relaxed did he slowly move his fingers away, sat by her side, and, turning his gaze, stared at Che Huan, pinching her wrist.

After a while, he got a call from Shen Mubai, released Che Huan’s wrist, tucked it inside the blanket, and stood up to leave Room 808, heading straight to the hospital suite where Qin Shaojin was staying.

Upon entering, he saw a trembling nurse, Shen Mubai pushing his glasses, and Qin Shaojin with a smirk that seemed deserving of a slap.

Huo Jinnan closed the door behind him, walked over, sat on the living room sofa, lifted his eyes, and looked towards the nurse who was shivering more and more fiercely.

No one spoke; the night’s silence made everything seem extra quiet, quiet enough that only the nurse’s trembling breath could be heard.

After a long time, Shen Mubai finally spoke, ”Did you think you’d be at peace once you left the country?”

The nurse kept her head down, not daring to look at him or speak, always having thought of Dean Shen as a refined and amiable person who was easy to talk to. Today was the first time she sensed an intense chill from his mere act of pushing his glasses while seated!

Shen Mubai removed his glasses, took a cloth from the side, pinched it in his hand, and started to wipe the lenses bit by bit, ”Muhe has never had such an incident before; you’ve set quite a precedent for me.”

”...”

The nurse didn’t speak or dare to look up, her gaze fixed only on the hands that were wiping the glasses. Years of performing surgeries made them long and pale; under normal circumstances, they would be pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, they strangely instilled fear.

Shen Mubai looked towards Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin, seated in a wheelchair, suddenly stood up.

Hearing the noise, the nurse looked up, quickly covered her mouth, and held back a cry of surprise.

”Surprised?”

Qin Shaojin looked at her, innocently smiling, ”A pampered only child suddenly signs up for frontline disaster relief—truly commendable.”

”...”

The nurse didn’t dare to make a sound, her complexion growing increasingly worse.

Qin Shaojin let out a snicker, looking at Huo Jinnan, ”My uncle and I are fine, but it’s Huo’s mother-in-law—”

He didn’t continue, his expression suddenly turning cold. He felt for the recording pen in his sleeve, turned it on, and looked at the nurse, ”Speak up. Who’s pulling your strings? Don’t be fooled by Huo’s good looks, he’s never gentle with women, especially those who don’t know their place.”
