"Is that so?" Yan Jinyi's eyes were filled with some doubt.
It really wasn't me, isn't Shenyang Daily the place where your best friend, Miss Tan, works at? Why don't I call them and ask about it..."
While speaking, Huo Zihang got ready to make a call but Yan Jinyi refuted, "It's alright, Sangsang doesn't answer calls from strangers. I'll call her instead."
While speaking, she headed to the garden with her cell phone.
Huo Zihang stared at Yan Jinyi's back. 'How am I considered a stranger? She's had an interview with me before.'
Yan Jinyi quickly called Tan Sangsang and reckoned that she should be picking Mu Mu up from the kindergarten because she could hear the sounds of children cheering for joy.
"Jinyi, I have to take Mu Mu to the hospital for a vaccine now. If you have something to talk to me about, can we leave it for later?"
Yan Jinyi looked up and said, "You just have to answer one question. Who was the one who provided Shenyang Daily with the information about Yao Xin's past?"
Tan Sangsang quickly answered, "Huh? Didn't your husband send Assistant Wen to personally deliver the document to us?"
'My husband?'
'When do I have...'
'Oh, right, Doggy Huo, Huo Xishen. I'm always forgetting the fact that I'm a married woman now.'
Yan Jinyi smacked her forehead.
"So Doggy Huo was the one who gave you guys the info?"
"Jinyi, Mr. Huo is an esteemed and respectable figure in society. Can you give him another nickname? Does Mr. Huo know that that's how you address him? Didn't he hit you?"
Yan Jinyi scoffed in disdain. 'Hit me?'
'What a joke!'
'Why would Huo Xishen dare to hit me?'
After she hung up, Huo Xishen happened to arrive home.
Dressed in a perfectly-trimmed suit, he looked just like a refined prince. Yan Jinyi thought that he should have gone out to socialize and entertain clients today.
Yan Jinyi ignored everything else and rushed over to hug Huo Xishen tightly. "Mr. Huo, you're back. Shall we begin the treatment now?"
Huo Xishen's body stiffened and he subconsciously reached out to hold Yan Jinyi to prevent her from falling.
Yan Jinyi could feel clearly that Huo Xishen was trembling. She blinked and said with a sultry smile, "Mr. Huo, you actually intervened to help me get rid of a villain. You do deserve a reward, how about an extra kiss today?"
After ensuring that Yan Jinyi had regained her balance, Huo Xishen pushed her away gently. "Darling, please behave yourself in public."
"Behave, my foot!" Yan Jinyi started cursing straightaway. "You and I are a married couple and this is our home, Mr. Huo. This is your territory, isn't it normal for us to be loving and show our affection for each other here? Why don't you ask around and see if anyone dares to object?"
"…"
Huo Xishen knew how sharp-tongued Yan Jinyi was.
He decided not to speak anymore.
"That woman is not qualified to pose a threat to you, Darling."
"Duh, she can't even be considered a threat."
Huo Xishen couldn't be bothered to say anything about her arrogance. "Since she can't even be considered a threat, you don't have to personally deal with her."
Yan Jinyi winked at him and said, "Mr. Huo, are you planning to protect me from now on?"
Huo Xishen pressed his lips together without saying anything. He merely gazed at her with ambiguity.
"It'll be quite expensive to be my escort, Mr. Huo, you'd better be prepared to blow some money."
Huo Xishen raised his thick eyebrows. 'Haven't I already given her my black card?'
Yao Xin finally managed to contact Zhuang Lijuan and was now kneeling in front of her and begging for help.
"Madam Zhuang, it was your idea to do this in the first place. Madam Zhuang, please help me, your son is a famous actor. As long as he puts in a good word for me, I'll definitely escape scot-free."
Zhuang Lijuan looked at Yao Xin whose makeup was smudged and said with disgust, "It's your business, not mine."
