Chapter 497: 499 Internet Celebrity (4)_1
After hanging up and receiving calls again and again—
Huo Jinnan finally answered and put it on mute before returning to the ward, casually tossing the phone on the table beside the hospital bed.
"Anan."
The old man called out, but with no response, he waited a while and asked as gently as possible, "Are you listening?"
"..."
"Anan..."
After calling out several times, the old man realized.
He had done this often in the past few days, unable to bear Ayun’s constant sobbing calls, he’d set his phone aside to prevent nuisance.
He sighed heavily, fearful that Ayun’s call at this moment would spoil his plans, but he didn’t hang up and set the phone aside, turning to Uncle Guan, "Uncle Guan, do you think it’s possible for Anan to return to the military?"
Uncle Guan paused and didn’t speak. For most people, going back now—and merging myriad honors into one—was undoubtedly the best timing! Once he returned to the military, what awaited him was promotion and honor, and with Second Young Master’s military experience, along with the prestige of the old master and the grandfather, a direct promotion to major general should be no issue.
However, the Second Young Master’s thoughts were always hard to predict, and he couldn’t be sure.
Considering the Second Young Master’s capabilities, it would truly be a pity if he didn’t return to the military.
The old man saw that Uncle Guan didn’t speak and closed his eyes. He too was uncertain. But Anan couldn’t possibly lack affection for the military—he had the soldier’s spirit and innate sense of duty—or he wouldn’t have accepted the mission during the recent earthquake.
Now, the higher-ups wanted a person, and they’d made a lot of effort to rally support!
He, of course, very much wished for Anan to return. With Anan’s ability, it was only a matter of time before he would soar high in the military ranks!
After a pause, he looked at Uncle Guan, "Get ready, we’ll go to Muhe Hospital in a bit."
Uncle Guan acknowledged with a sound.
The old man thought for a moment, "Uncle Guan, wait, isn’t Jinxue’s birthday coming up soon?"
Uncle Guan acknowledged, "Yes, miss’s birthday is next Monday."
The old man nodded, "Then we won’t go to Muhe Hospital tonight. Prepare a satisfying birthday gift for Jinxue."

In the evening, Che Huan casually grabbed an unknown book and sat in the living room to accompany the little guy.
The little guy watched a TV series for a while, got bored, and picked up the phone to play games!
After playing for a while, he got bored with that too, and looked at Che Huan.
How come Huanhuan is reading so attentively? He hated reading the most!
Looking at his aunt sitting on the side, she just knew how to be glued to her phone all day, never progressing!
He leaned closer and saw Huo Jinnan’s photos and a bunch of comments about how handsome he was, blackening his little face. Really! Was Huo Jinnan that handsome? He didn’t think so!
Actually, he had always felt he was more handsome than Huo Jinnan!
Thinking about how Huo Jinnan had taken Huanhuan away, he just let it go, but he still felt somewhat indignant.
Suddenly, his big eyes blinked as an idea struck him, he couldn’t wait and looked towards the window—why wasn’t he back yet?
Around ten o’clock, the sound of a car horn could be heard outside.
Soon after, Huo Jinnan came in.
The little guy glanced at him and saw Huo Jinnan standing there changing into slippers, and surreptitiously grabbed the phone aiming to find the ugliest angle of Huo Jinnan. Unable to find any, he felt so annoyed he wanted to smash the phone.
Huo Jinnan swept a glance in Che Huan’s direction, his gaze passing over the little guy.
The little guy sat there guiltily, and when he saw Huo Jinnan move his gaze away, he patted his chest in relief. Thank goodness, that was a close call. He thought Huo Jinnan had noticed and got so scared he felt terrible!
