Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Thinking of the one still inside her, her breathing became uneven, and she started to gasp.

Xiang Xiran was just about to speak when his phone rang. Hearing that the action had failed once more, he closed his eyes.

Incompetent, good-for-nothing bunch!

And then there was Huo Jinnan, who seemed to have developed an almost obsessive desire for possession!

Listening to Shu Mengmeng’s cries.

Xiang Xiran snapped back to reality, looking at Shu Mengmeng, who was covering her face and crying out in pain, ”Your complexion looks okay today. How about I accompany you for a walk outside?”

Shu Mengmeng nodded and went with Xiang Xiran to the courtyard behind the hospital.

Large pine and cypress trees formed shady pathways, blocking the sunlight. It wasn’t too glaring, yet warmly comfortable.

Xiang Xiran walked while glancing at Shu Mengmeng.

Most of the time, Shu Mengmeng’s large eyes stared vacantly into the distance, only offering a simple smile when Xiang Xiran spoke.

After a while, they saw a pavilion.

Xiang Xiran looked at Shu Mengmeng, ”Let’s sit over there.”

Shu Mengmeng followed Xiang Xiran and sat down, leaning on the wooden bench, her eyes filled with confusion.

Xiang Xiran sat there smoking.

Shu Mengmeng kept staring into the distance, wondering what her third brother was doing at this moment?

Would he worry when she wasn’t there? Would he be anxious?

Xiang Xiran looked at Shu Mengmeng, her face dappled with sunlight filtering through the thick pine leaves, glowed like a luminous pearl, indescribably beautiful.

She took a drag of her cigarette, pondering how Qin Shaojin could reject such a beauty and fall for such an immature young girl.

Thinking of herself and Tata, she was confident she was more beautiful than Tata, but—

Huo Jinnan loved Tata, not her!

Shu Mengmeng looked at Xiang Xiran, her voice weak and feeble, ”Can I have a cigarette?”

Xiang Xiran handed a cigarette to Shu Mengmeng, fished a lighter out from her clothes, lit it, and passed the flame over.

Shu Mengmeng took a drag and started coughing.

Xiang Xiran watched, affirming that they were all the same: the ones they loved were like this choking cigarette, hard to give up!

After a long while, she spoke, ”Waiting a year isn’t that long. During this year, I’ll have someone teach you various etiquettes, grooming you to be as elegant and charming as I am. What do you say?”

Shu Mengmeng coughed twice, face flushed, looking at Xiang Xiran, ”Alright.”

Thinking of the men around Xiang Xiran, all circling her like moths to flame, when she becomes like her, would her third brother fall for her?

Qin Shaojin brought Shu Ran back to Hong Kong.

Shu Ran handed all the information she had gathered to Qin Shaojin, ”This is all I know. Wu Long comes every month to visit this person. Since he had people around him who seemed quite skilled, I dared not get too close, only managing to snap a few photos by chance, not daring to approach them deliberately. I think there’s something hidden about him; otherwise, Wu Long wouldn’t be so concerned.”

Qin Shaojin pressed his nose bridge, ”Probably.”

Shu Ran looked at Qin Shaojin, ”Xiaosan, besides me, there seems to be someone else. I’m not sure who, but it might be the same person who took Mengmeng.”

Qin Shaojin’s handsome brows knitted tightly. There was another group watching Wu Long; it could be Xiang Xiran. But did Xiang Xiran really have a reason to take Shu Mengmeng?

If it truly were her, what does she intend to do with Shu Mengmeng?
