Chapter 651: Any News?
After eating, Huo Xian and Huo Chengyu headed to the study for a game of chess while Yan Jinyi and the others chatted leisurely in the garden.
Yan Jinyi sat on the long chair with a large German Shepherd seated in front of her. It kept licking her body from time to time.
Huo Xishen was seated right beside her with an English book in hand.
As Tan Sangsang watched, she couldn’t help but take out her cell phone to take a few photos, only to find that Yan Jinyi was really compatible with him!
“Sangsang, how did you get to know Third Brother? Who made the first move?”
Huo Qingyuan asked curiously, resting her face in her hands.
“Uh…”
Yan Jinyi suddenly looked up and beckoned at Huo Qingyuan. “Come here.”
“Second Sister-in-law, I’m listening to a story.”
“What story? How nice can Huo Zihang’s story be? Go walk the dog.”
Huo Qingyuan was a bit reluctant. “Our home is so large and it’s already an adult dog. It can walk itself.”
Yan Jinyi raised her brows and looked over coldly.
Huo Qingyuan shivered a little and waved her hand at the dog reluctantly. “Fine.”
Seeing that Huo Qingyuan had been driven away, Tan Sangsang heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known what excuse to give.”
She couldn’t possibly make up a Cinderella story, right?
“Jinyi, I’ll head home now, my mom is still waiting for me at home. She’ll be worried if I get home late.”
“What era are we living in now? Have some fun before you leave.” Yan Jinyi then turned her head to look at Huo Zihang. “Is Huo Zihang having the runs? Why isn’t he out yet?”
Tan Sangsang coughed awkwardly.
At this moment, Huo Xishen suddenly closed the book and looked at Tan Sangsang coldly. “Miss Tan, you have a son who’s about four or five years old, right?”
Tan Sangsang was stunned.
Yan Jinyi was too. “How did you know?”
“Darling, this is the Huo Family. I believe Miss Tan won’t blame me for checking up on her background.”
Tan Sangsang smiled and said, “Of course not. The Huo Family is a notable and prominent family that many are coveting. It’s only right for you to run a check on me.”
“But I wonder…”
Sensing that Tan Sangsang was anxious, Huo Xishen continued, “Don’t worry, no one else except me will know about this.”
Tan Sangsang heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Something unpleasant happened once and I do have a five-year-old son but don’t worry, Mr. Huo, I’m here today just to pretend to be Huo Zihang’s girlfriend. He’s just using me as an excuse to not go for blind dates.”
Tan Sangsang felt that she had good self-awareness.
“I never thought of making Huo Zihang become my child’s stepfather. He has nothing to do with Huo Zihang and never will. Mr. Huo, rest assured.”
Huo Xishen didn’t answer and instead, looked at Yan Jinyi with a sideways glance. “Darling, Miss Tan is so much more sensible than you are.”
Yan Jinyi glared at Huo Xishen. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, you should be gentler.”
Tan Sangsang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. ‘Mr. Huo Xishen has really hit the nail on its head.’
At Huo Xian’s insistence, Huo Zihang sent Tan Sangsang home. Yan Jinyi wanted to tag along but she was forced to stay by Huo Xian.
‘What exactly is this old man trying to do!?!’
She lied down on the sofa in displeasure, only to see Huo Xian staring at her belly for a long time, making her scalp tingle.
She subconsciously picked up the pillow and placed it on her legs. “Grandpa, what’s the matter?”
“It’s been a long time, has there been any signs in your belly?”
Yan Jinyi was confused. “Huh? Signs? What?”
“Girl, are you shy? That brat Chengyu has actually divorced Shen Yan, so now, my hopes of having a great-grandchild are on you and Xishen.”
