Daddy Always Gets Jealous

After reading the draft, Jin Bo was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect Shu Ran to help Xiaoxi like this.

They’ve only known each other for a few months, right? Does that mean the young girl is very likable?

But were the details inside something she told Auntie Shu herself?

Just thinking about her and Lu Yi being childhood friends for many years made him feel a pang of jealousy.

He called Huo Bei, ”Some of the things inside, did you investigate them?”

Huo Bei did not expect the call from Captain Dong to come so quickly, feeling somewhat complex, after all, many years between Xiaoxi and Lu Yi, would Captain Dong mind?

Back then, he had worried about this, and recently decided to give it to Qin Shaojin, realizing that this matter couldn’t be ignored simply by not mentioning it.

If the Huo Family and Captain Dong care, it’s better to know earlier so Xiaoxi wouldn’t be too deeply hurt. If they don’t mind, then it’s purely his overthinking.

On one side is the Huo Family and Captain Dong, on the other his own sister—

Sometimes, his feelings were truly complicated.

Jin Bo, ”Huo Bei?”

Huo Bei snapped back, ”I investigated it.”

Jin Bo, ”Did Shu Ran contact you?”

Huo Bei, ”Qin the lawyer asked me for it.”

Jin Bo didn’t speak for a while.

Huo Bei held the phone, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

After a long time, Jin Bo said softly, ”Make sure to protect Xiaoxi’s information, don’t get her involved.”

Huo Bei, ”I’ll handle it carefully.”

Jin Bo, ”I’ll have Fang Zheng give a heads up.”

Huo Bei didn’t speak for a while, but his mood lightened a lot.

At this time, Captain Dong was still considering Xiaoxi, which proved his worries were unnecessary?

Thinking about Lu Yi’s recent activities, he said in a low voice, ”Captain Dong, I’m afraid Lu Yi won’t give up so easily. He’s recently preparing to open a studio and start filming a movie, and a few days ago he updated his Weibo.”

Jin Bo chuckled softly, ”Don’t worry about the Weibo matter; in the future, he’ll be a one-man show and won’t stir much trouble. The movie matter is even easier to solve; aren’t you also preparing a movie? Then release it on the same day.”

Huo Bei, ”...”

Captain Dong is truly ruthless.

With Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s current box-office draw, releasing on the same day would surely be a dead end, with no chance of success.

Jin Bo added, ”Don’t tell Xiaoxi.”

Huo Bei, ”Understood, Captain Dong.”

Jin Bo, ”I’ve asked you not to call me Captain Dong anymore. Alright, it’s almost noon, go have lunch early.”

Huo Bei, ”Okay.”

He didn’t call him Captain Dong again.

Jin Bo hung up the phone and called Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi was just resting in the bathroom when she received the call, ”Mr. Mayor, checking in?”

Jin Bo, ”Yes.”

He drove into the military district and parked the car right at the canteen door, ”Surprise attack, where are you?”

Yan Xiaoxi, ”Bathroom, do you want to come?”

Jin Bo, ”Come out after you’re done.”

Yan Xiaoxi, ”You were on a visit yesterday, I saw it on the news, don’t fool me.”

Jin Bo glanced at the flowers on the passenger seat, looked in the rearview mirror, sat upright, and adjusted his tie, ”I told you to come out, you come out.”

Yan Xiaoxi finished in the bathroom, came out of the canteen, saw his car, hesitated for a moment, wearing a camouflage uniform, ran over in small steps.

Jin Bo saw her approaching, opened the car door, and casually moved the flowers to the back.

Yan Xiaoxi got in the car, didn’t have time to react, Jin Bo stretched out his arm, closed the car door, and then embraced her, his thin lips brushed her lips, his handsome brow lowered, his voice magnetic and low, ”Haven’t seen you for days, I missed you so much it hurt.”
