Chapter 496 - Dying To Be Alone With Her
The car began to move. Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan sat close together. Ying Bao sat between them, on top of their laps, basking in the warmth of both her parents.
Huo Yunshen extended an arm and draped it over Xu Xiyan shoulder. The touch of his large, masculine hand was electrifying; Xu Xiyan felt a current run through her, and her limbs and extremities grew numb.
The hand moved gently downwards to rub her back. Huo Yunshen had not said anything, but when Xu Xiyan turned to look at him, she saw the burning passion in his eyes.
She had missed him, but he had missed her a million times more.
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”—she had only been away for a few days, but Huo Yunshen felt as though he had not seen her for years.
He had missed her so much he thought he was going crazy. He wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her long and hard, but their daughter was watching.
The little girl had also missed her mother very much. As soon as they returned home, Ying Bao clung to her mother like a koala, refusing to leave her for even a minute.
Huo Yunshen wheeled himself past the living room several times. Mother and daughter were playing together in the living room; it frustrated him to see the beautiful, delectable woman so close at hand, yet out of his reach.
In order to enjoy his “benefits” as soon as possible, he racked his brain and came up with an idea. “Cherry, do you want to go play with Feimo? Daddy can send you over to his place!”
Cherry enjoyed Tang Feimo’s company very much. Her eyes sparkled as she said, “Ooh, I want to play with him! But Feimo said he won’t be at home today!”
Huo Yunshen: “…”
Huo Yunshen returned to his room and called Tang Yichen. “Where are you?”
“I’m driving my family to Jingshan for a day trip. We’re on our way there now,” Tang Yichen answered.
“Old Tang, I want you to come back, right this moment. Report to Shengshi Yujing within 30 minutes, and bring your son, Feimo, with you,” instructed Huo Yunshen.
Tang Yichen was close to flipping out. It was the weekend, the only time he was able to take his family on a vacation. He was already halfway to his destination—and Huo Yunshen wanted him to go back?
Tang Yichen thought Huo Yunshen was being absolutely unreasonable. “Why? It’s the weekend, I deserve my time off!”
“I’ll let you take a day off some other time. Do this for me, and I’ll owe you one. But if you don’t come back, I’ll send your wife that photo of you hugging that lady when you were drunk. Choose wisely.”
Huo Yunshen hung up without waiting for a reply.
On the other end of the line, Tang Yichen stared helplessly at his phone. He had not expected Huo Yunshen to remember that specific incident. It had been a complete misunderstanding: Tang Yichen had had a little too much to drink during a dinner with his clients, and had accidentally fallen on top of a young lady after bumping into her. Unfortunately for him, Huo Yunshen had taken a photo of it to use as blackmail material.
It was an honest mistake,and he hadn’t done anything wrong; nevertheless, he did not want his wife to misunderstand. Sometimes, an explanation just wasn’t enough. The best way to avoid a misunderstanding was to—
Tang Yichen obediently turned the car around and sped towards Shengshi Yujing. He managed to arrive within 30 minutes.
He knocked on the door to Apartment 101. The door opened, and Tang Yichen presented himself and his son to Huo Yunshen. He asked, “I’m here, Old Huo. What’s up?”
“Nothing.” Huo Yunshen turned around and called for his daughter. “Cherry, Feimo is here. Go play with him!”
Upon hearing that, Ying Bao immediately rushed down the stairs. She happily went out with Tang Feimo.
Tang Yichen’s eyes almost rolled out of their sockets and onto the floor. “That’s it? You ordered me to drive back here within 30 minutes just for this?”
“This is extremely important,” Huo Yunshen said nonchalantly. “These children are budding flowers, our nation’s future pride and joy. Take good care of them. If anything happens to them, I’ll hold you responsible!”
Tang Yichen was a smart man. He could tell from Huo Yunshen’s strange behavior that: A) his Little Xixi had probably just returned from an outstation trip, and B) he was now dying to be alone with her.
Tang Yichen chuckled. He asked, “Oh, is the lady back home? Want me to teach you a few tricks?”
“Buzz off! I don’t need your tricks!”
Bam! Huo Yunshen mercilessly shut the door in Tang Yichen’s face.
