Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Huo Jinnan stubbed out his cigarette and looked at Qin Shaojin.

The day before? Wasn’t that July 20th?

He picked up his phone and made a call, ”Huo Bei, check what Huo Jinyun was doing on July 20th that year.”

Qin Shaojin looked at Huo Jinnan, ”Huo bro, you’re already married, and you’ve slept with her, why get so fixated on the details? Aren’t you afraid of getting burnt?”

”It’s better than living with a time bomb.”

Huo Jinnan hung up the call, his gaze landing on Qin Shaojin.

Qin Shaojin let out a snort of cold laughter, ”Even if it turns out to be Huo Jinyun, she doesn’t have the capacity to serve a sentence.”

”...”

Huo Jinnan didn’t make a sound.

Qin Shaojin looked at Huo Jinnan, ”My grandma saw it but didn’t get a clear view of the license plate. However, the accident site wasn’t far from the Qin family.”

Huo Jinnan lifted his eyes.

Qin Shaojin pressed the bridge of his nose, ”This might be Auntie Four’s unresolved issue, thinking the Qin family was involved because her mother came to ask my grandfather and grandmother that day, demanding what should be done about the child in Auntie Four’s belly, and that my Uncle Four should give an explanation.”

Huo Jinnan lit another cigarette, took a drag, and held it between his fingers, gently tapping the cigarette with the pad of his index finger.

”That’s all there is to it.”

Qin Shaojin turned and left the partition.

Huo Jinnan sat for a few seconds, got up, and left the private room directly.

Yu Zimu was somewhat confused, ”Huo bro came but didn’t play a single round?”

Qin Shaojin called Qin Shaonan, hung up, and looked at Yu Zimu, ”Busy making babies.”

Yu Zimu nodded in understanding, then looked at the leader, ”So, is this why the leader was abandoned and banished to your place?”

Qin Shaojin glanced at the leader, who was squatting there with an unhappy face, ”That’s about the size of it.”

Yu Zimu looked at the leader, reached out to pet his head, ”Suddenly feel really sorry for you...”

Before his words fell, the leader suddenly rolled over, ”Woof woof—” and lunged at Yu Zimu’s arm.

Yu Zimu was so frightened that he hastily pulled back his hand, flipping over backward from his seat!

Qin Shaojin laughed unkindly, ”Scaredy-cat, the leader isn’t really going to bite you.”

Yu Zimu lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling, and it took him several seconds to calm down. He got up, straightened his chair, and looked at the leader, ”Believe it or not, I’m going to stew you tonight and have dog meat stew.”

Qin Shaojin laughed, lit a cigarette, and dangled it from his lips in a devil-may-care manner, ”I think it’s the leader who’s going to stew you and have a human meat stew.”

Just then, the phone rang. Seeing it was Wen Nuan, he bit on his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring before answering, ”What, do you want me to pick you up?”

Wen Nuan bit her lip, unsure of how to begin!

She and her aunt had gotten up to find that her uncle had already left.

Qin Shaojin gave a smile that was as harmless as an animal’s, lounging on the sofa. He elegantly unbuttoned his suit and rolled up his shirt sleeves, ”If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

Yu Zimu watched from the side, taken aback, ”That sudden move of yours scared the hell out of my old back.”

Qin Shaojin looked over with a smile, ”Aren’t you always wanting to have a go at me? We could find a place to spar in a bit.”

Wen Nuan listened, hung up the phone feeling dejected, and decided to wait for her uncle.

When she returned to the living room to see Wen Ru in a daze, she went over to sit beside her and asked with concern, ”Aunt, what’s wrong, are you not feeling well?”

”No.”

Wen Ru snapped back to reality, looking at Wen Nuan. She thought about what the old Madam Qin had said to her the night before, not sure if it was true or false. After everything she’d been through, she no longer dared to trust anyone easily.
