Chapter 290: 292 The Old Master’s Phone Call (1)_1
Hearing Huo Jinnan’s voice,
the team leader quickly let go of Che Huan, glanced at Huo Jinnan’s expression, and squatted to one side, behaving much more obediently.
Huo Jinnan lit a cigarette, took a drag, and the three of them entered Che Huan’s room together.
He looked at Wen Nuan, "Do you like the team leader?"
Wen Nuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, I really do."
Huo Jinnan turned to the team leader, "These next few days, have Wen Nuan take care of you."
The team leader glanced at Wen Nuan unwillingly and sat there aloofly, showing his reluctance!
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but tug at the team leader’s ear.
The team leader swatted Wen Nuan away with a paw.
Wen Nuan withdrew her hand and looked at Huo Jinnan, "Brother-in-law, I have an unreasonable request, I’m not sure if you can agree to it?"
Hearing how smoothly Wen Nuan called him brother-in-law, Che Huan sitting beside secretly pinched Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan shifted to the side, establishing a safe distance, and mustered her courage to speak up, "Sister Huanhuan, the fact you call brother-in-law’s name in your dreams is already out, so stop being embarrassed."
"..."
Che Huan’s face turned red instantly, and she stood up helplessly, "I’m going to the restroom."
Huo Jinnan took another drag on his cigarette, glanced at Che Huan’s retreating figure, and his gaze fell on Wen Nuan, "Go on, what is it?"
Wen Nuan glanced in the team leader’s direction, "I really like the team leader, but it’s always fierce to me. Brother-in-law, come September, if there’s a chance, could you keep a puppy from the team leader for me?"
A puppy?
Huo Jinnan looked toward the team leader and thought of the annual breeding season when he would take the team leader out for a specific purpose, "Mm, I’ll keep that in mind."
The team leader squatted there with an odd look in its eyes, glaring fiercely at Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan made a face at the team leader and said cheerfully, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Huo Jinnan looked at Wen Nuan, "Still at university?"
Wen Nuan nodded, "Junior year."
"What’s your major?"
"Law."
Huo Jinnan nodded, "Not bad."
Wen Nuan, recalling the exciting trial of the day, mused, "If I could also become a lawyer in the future, that would be great."
Considering her personality, Huo Jinnan frowned slightly, "Law University?"
Wen Nuan nodded again.
Huo Jinnan murmured, "Qin Shaojin might be joining your school as a distinguished professor soon. You should learn more from him."
Learn from him?
She hadn’t found him that impressive, but she did think Du Bin looked very professional in court, which made her fangirl heart flutter uncontrollably.
Before, Du Bin was the heartthrob of the law department. She hadn’t expected to run into him in Li City or that he would really be just like the rumors!
Seeing Che Huan come out, Wen Nuan stood up, "Sister Huanhuan, I’ll go back to my room to rest now."
Che Huan responded and saw Wen Nuan out.
At the door, Wen Nuan whispered, "Both my dad and mom seem to know about your beau staying in your room, and they haven’t objected, so they probably approve, right? Maybe in a few days, Auntie will agree too, Sister Huanhuan, keep it up!"
Mother?
She thought it impossible, for her mom had refused to take her calls for three years simply because she had insisted on marrying Gu Jizhou.
This time, her mother’s reaction was even stronger than before!
If she knew Huo Jinnan was Gu Jizhou’s uncle, it would likely be even more impossible.
Che Huan’s brow furrowed, "Don’t call him brother-in-law casually from now on!"
"I’ll have to call him that sooner or later anyway."
Che Huan stuck out her tongue and dashed off.
Che Huan watched her childish antics and felt a pang of intense envy. If only her mother doted on her like her aunt doted on Nuannuan, perhaps she too would be as naively innocent now?
