Chapter 1204: Chapter 1218: Oh Time, Oh Time, Can You Stop for a While (4)
Qin Shaojin, "It went smoothly, Xiang Feng didn’t let anyone interfere."
Huo Jinnan flicked the ash from his cigarette into his palm, "Be cautious."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, his long fingers spinning the phone in his palm.
A moment later, the phone rang again.
He said in a low voice, "Answer."
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Shaojin’s voice came through, "A small problem came up. We just found out Shu Mengmeng was pregnant, but the fetus died in the womb."
Huo Jinnan became a bit more serious, "Do you know who the father is?"
Qin Shaojin, "Who knows!"
Huo Jinnan took another drag of his cigarette, "Xiang Xiran should know."
Qin Shaojin let out a light laugh, "The problem is, who can make her talk?"
Huo Jinnan, "Tell her we have antibodies."
Qin Shaojin, "She’s not stupid."
Huo Jinnan, "No one isn’t afraid of death. Come to me tomorrow and bring her a pill to try."
He hung up the phone, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, went back to the room, gently kicked the trash can by the door with his foot, bent down, and put the cigarette butt and ash into it, then turned to the bathroom to wash his hands.
After washing his hands, he heard Xiaoqi’s soft whimper, walked over, and felt the little girl’s hand, gently holding it, "Daddy’s here, what’s wrong?"
Xiaoqi stared at Huo Jinnan with wide eyes, her little hand clenched tightly.
"Xiaoqi."
Huo Jinnan gently called out.
The little girl quietly looked at him, pouting her lips.
...
Qin Huan woke up to this scene—
A warm gaze between father and daughter, with the sunlight sneaking through the window, falling on both of them.
She got out of bed and walked over.
Huo Jinnan wrapped his arm around her shoulder, kissing her on the cheek, "Awake?"
Qin Huan, "Mm."
Huo Jinnan, "Still sleepy?"
Qin Huan shook her head.
Huo Jinnan, "Then let’s go eat..."
Before he could finish, the door creaked open, and Captain strutted in with its tail up.
Che Huan, "Captain is here."
Huo Jinnan "mm"-ed, made way for the Captain, and went with Qin Huan to have breakfast.
Xiaoying was there eagerly helping, performing exceptionally well.
The old man sat there, looking very uncomfortable.
He wished he could skin her alive just thinking about how Xiaoying had moved Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi’s hearts.
Originally planned to kick Xiaoying out, but yesterday Anan told him to let Huanhuan handle it.
Keeping her had some use, but just unpleasant to look at.
Now, it seemed she was eyeing Abei! Truly infuriating.
After breakfast, he saw Xiaoying lingering around, either wiping tables or cleaning.
The old man’s face turned not so good instantly, grasping his cane to stand up, with a deep voice, "Xiaoying, come with me to the study."
Qin Huan glanced at the old man.
The old man looked at Qin Huan, "Huanhuan, if the kids are not upset, you and Anan should go outside and get some fresh air."
Qin Huan "mm"-ed, and went out for a walk with Huo Jinnan, "Mom, call me if Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi are hungry."
...
The old man watched them leave the door, his gaze fell on Xiaoying, displeased, he glanced aside at Uncle Guan, "Come to the study with us."
"Okay."
Uncle Guan responded, casting a hostile look at Xiaoying.
Xiaoying stood there, head lowered, not daring to look at the old man and Uncle Guan, slowly following behind them.
Upon entering the study, the old man sat on the solid wood chair by the desk, put the cane aside, coldly lifted his gaze, seeing Xiaoying enter the door, took a deep breath, gestured to Uncle Guan to close the door.
