Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Huo Bei, ”Okay.”

Jin Bo hung up the phone and dialed Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi was in the kitchen washing vegetables, preparing dinner. Hearing the phone ringing in the living room, she wiped her wet hands on her apron and dashed to the living room. She quickly picked up the phone and saw it was Jin Bo, answering, ”Are you working overtime?”

Jin Bo, ”Hmm.”

Yan Xiaoxi glanced at the time, ”So when will you be back roughly?”

Jin Bo picked up a hand crossbow from nearby, ”I’ll be back very late. You go ahead and sleep, don’t wait for me. I’ll eat dinner out. If it’s too late, I won’t come over.”

Yan Xiaoxi heard that he had a social engagement, ”Okay, then I’ll just cook for myself.”

Jin Bo thought of Huo Bei going over and worried she might feel awkward.

He believed Huo Bei would soon call her, so he didn’t mention it, glancing at the time on his wrist, ”Then cook early, eat early.”

Yan Xiaoxi, ”Okay, I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up, she suddenly felt a bit down, too lazy to make dinner.

Lying on the sofa, she ordered takeout with her phone and started watching a TV drama.

But the images on the TV screen were quickly forgotten, and her mind was full of the older man, as if brainwashed.

Wondering what kind of engagement he had? Out until so late!

Could be eating out and then going to some unsavory places?

Just thinking about it made her uncomfortable!

But the older man shouldn’t be into that kind of nightlife, right?

Lost in thought, her phone rang again.

Seeing it was her brother, she answered, and her mood lifted upon hearing her brother was coming, ”Bro, when are you coming over?”

Heard he would be there in half an hour, she jumped up, ”Don’t buy food on your way back, I’ve already cooked.”

Huo Bei thought it was made for the captain, and he was getting lucky.

However, he also felt bad for his sister.

Yan Xiaoxi called out again, ”Bro?”

He snapped back to reality, ”Okay.”

Hanging up the phone, he continued driving toward Xiaoxi’s place.

Yunshang

When Jin Bo arrived with Qin Shaoling, the lobby manager directly led them to Box No. 1.

Upon entering the box, they saw Zhou Xiaotong sitting inside.

Zhou Xiaotong was surprised to see Jin Bo with Qin Shaoling.

Originally thought he would bring Yan Xiaoxi.

But soon, he regained his composure, ”Mayor Jin.”

Jin Bo saw him reach out to shake hands, walked over, stood there, and remained unmoved.

Zhou Xiaotong persisted for a moment, seeing Jin Bo not offering his hand, then didn’t force it.

He looked at Qin Shaoling, ”This is—”

Jin Bo, ”No, just happened to meet a friend.”

Zhou Xiaotong looked at Qin Shaoling, ”Sorry.”

Qin Shaoling stood there, looking at Zhou Xiaotong, although courteous, not very fond, ”My surname is Qin, I’m called Qin Shaoling, used to be comrades in arms with Mayor Jin.”

Zhou Xiaotong, ”Oh, I see, and so beautiful too, a woman of substance indeed.”

Qin Shaoling smiled lightly, not saying much.

Zhou Xiaotong offered a seat.

Jin Bo sat down, looked at Qin Shaoling, ”Sit where you like.”

Qin Shaoling walked to a spot near Jin Bo, not too close, not too far, just right.

Zhou Xiaotong looked at the box manager, ”Menu.”

The box manager quickly brought the menu in.

Zhou Xiaotong looked at the box manager, ”Hand it to Mr. Jin.”

The box manager handed the menu to Jin Bo.

Jin Bo passed it to Qin Shaoling, ”Ladies first.”

Qin Shaoling, ”Thank you, Captain, still so gentlemanly...”

Halfway through her words, she saw a familiar figure entering the box, and the rest of her sentence suddenly came to a halt.
