“Keep the secret to yourself then!” Lu Zhaoyang then looked away from Huo Yunting. “We are here!” Lu Zhaoyang announced with the oversized Panda doll in her embrace. Huo Yunting was doing the same at Lin Yazhi’s mansion porch. “Yippee!” Both Yazhi and Xuxu hurrahed running.
Being a professional secretary, Lin Yazhi returned to her room with her bear right after that. A professional secretary would never be the President’s third wheel! That was what the Secretary’s Code of Conduct said.
However, the little boy threw away his new toy. He ran towards Lu Zhaoyang and gripped Lu Zhaoyang’s long slender legs tightly, “Yang Yang, did you miss Xuxu?”
“Yes, of course, dear. Never once I forgot about you.” She sat down and placed little Huo Xu over her laps.
Oh wow, never once, huh.
Huo Yunting was not pleased.
So she’s also been thinking of him even last night when I’m by her side, eh?
Huo Xu gleefully smiled with his little hand wrapped over her arm, “Did Uncle Yunting take good care of you?” He passed a glance at Huo Yunting.
“Of course, look at her. All plump and happy,” said Huo Yunting as he reached out his hand to pinch Lu Zhaoyang’s rosy cheek.
Her body shivered stiffly.
Holy Huo Yunting, did you just *touch* me in front of a kid?
“Aw, Yang Yang’s face is so comfy!” Said the little boy as he rubbed Zhaoyang’s other cheek, “Is Uncle Yunting staying over tonight? You still haven’t finished the story for Xuxu!”
“Okay,” said Huo Yunting looking at Lu Zhaoyang with a smile that reminded Xuxu of Grinch from Dr. Seuss he watched last week.
Lu Zhaoyang’s eyes went wide, feeling the obligation to tell Lin Yazhi to NOT be a busybody and give a copy of the key to Huo Yunting!
“I’ll—make some dinner while you play with your Uncle Yunting,” said Zhaoyang as she placed the kid onto the sofa and headed to the kitchen.
“Uncle Yunting, do you have a gift from Yang Yang too? Can I see?” Said the boy naughtily.
“Sure, Xuxu,” said Huo Yunting as he had the boy in his embrace, “Yang Yang and I are preparing a very, very, *very* big gift for you. You’ll love it for sure.”
“Wow! Really? What’s that? Is that a dog?” The little boy was very intrigued.
“Way better than that. Just wait, you’ll know…”
In 10 months or so. It takes time to produce a younger sister or brother for you, boy.
“Aw—bad Uncle Yunting. How can you tease me like that!”
“It wouldn’t be a surprise if you know what it is.” Huo Yunting placed him on his lap, “Come, I’ll slice you some apple.”
“Aw, thank you Uncle Yunting! I’ll be waiting, okay?” The little boy accepted the offer wholeheartedly. Little did he knew that, probably nobody else on Earth would make the alpha man serve him, not even Zhaoyang.
Lu Zhaoyang peered through the kitchen door, smiling as she watched a healthy interaction between father and son. She was curious of the “gift” Huo Yunting was going to prepare for Xuxu.
And that thought sent chills down her spine for some reason.
Later that night, she got back to her room while typing Huo Yunting a message as she locked the door, took off her clothes to have a shower.
“It’s storytime.” The announcement was pleasing to the little boy’s ears. Huo Yunting picked up the storybook when his phone vibrated.
[STAY WITH XUXU. DON’T COME OVER. I’M TIRED. GOOD NIGHT.]
Oh, she’s tired.
Huo Yunting smiled.
Okay, I’ll spare her for the night then.
“Is it from Yang Yang?” Asked Xu as he stood on his bed in his pajamas.
“Yeah, she said ‘Good Night’ to us.” Huo Yunting then put down his phone and pulled the boy to his embrace, “So, where were we last time?” He angelically giggled at the boy’s innocence.
Huo Li and Lin Yazhi might have shuddered until their bones collapsed if they saw the scene.
And they all slept soundly that night.
The next morning, Huo Yunting sent Huo Xu to his class by car.
Well, Lu Zhaoyang wanted to reject his offer at first, however, on second thought, “Yeah, okay,” she agreed in the end.
It *is* a good experience for him to feel how a happy family is like when they send their kids to school.
I mean—I’ve been alone this whole while, sending and picking up Xuxu alone when Chen was busy with his life.
