I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 266 - : More Jealous than Your Dad

Chapter 266 -266: More Jealous than Your Dad

Gu Hanchen placed his hand on Zhong Xiaoyi’s shoulder, “Are you implying that we should take our relationship to the next level? I wouldn’t mind going to the civil affairs office to get the certificate with you right now.”

Zhong Xiaoyi hurriedly said: “No, don’t!”

Gu Hanchen frowned and said: “Do you despise me?”

Zhong Xiaoyi whispered: “No, not at all, it’s just progressing too fast.”

Gu Hanchen chuckled, stopped teasing Zhong Xiaoyi, and poured himself a drink to enjoy with Chu Lin.

After drinking for almost an hour, Gu Hanchen and Zhong Xiaoyi finally left Chu Lin’s villa.

In the vast and empty villa, only Chu Lin and Cheng Yue remained.

Chu Lin looked at Cheng Yue and said: “You studied abroad for two years, didn’t you get any impressive pick-up attempts?”

Cheng Yue replied: “You said it yourself, they were just pick-up attempts. From the beginning when I went abroad, I had already planned to return. I’m an only child, and it’s impossible for me to stay overseas. For me, I believe there’s no city in the world better than Jiang City, not even New York.

I never intended to stay in the United States, so I definitely wasn’t going to start a relationship doomed to have no future. Naturally, I wouldn’t care whether or not someone tried to pick me up.”

Chu Lin gripped his glass tightly, “I was just asking. You don’t need to explain so urgently, I don’t really care that much.”

Cheng Yue choked, slightly furrowed her brows and said: “I know you don’t care about me, but I care if others think I’m lying.”

Cheng Yue stood up, “I’m going back first.”

Chu Lin spoke up: “You’ll live here too. If you go back to Chu’s Mansion, it’s destined that I can’t continue to stay here either.”

Cheng Yue hummed in acknowledgment, then went upstairs to select a room. She chose one facing south that came with a small study. From the study’s window, one could see the shade-giving green trees outside, and the summer cicadas were rather noisy.

As the weather grew hotter, the summer heat became intense, causing one to sweat profusely just from stepping outside.

On a rare weekend off, Yuan Xi received a message from Liang Suisui the night before, inviting her out to play today.

Yuan Xi typed a reply to Liang Suisui: “Gu Hanchen is coming to A city today, if you’re bored, come over to my place.”

Yuan Xi thought Liang Suisui would reply late due to her rare break, but unexpectedly she responded quickly: “Sure, I haven’t seen Lele and Anan in a while.”

After replying to the message, Yuan Xi got up to brush her teeth and freshen up. She changed into a relatively loose dress and went downstairs, only to see Huo Shiyuan returning from outside with Anan in his arms.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and said: “Why did you take the baby out so early?”

Huo Shiyuan replied: “Children still need to go outside and get some sun. It’s too hot during the day, so I take them out for a walk in the morning and evening.”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly as she took Anan from Huo Shiyuan’s arms, “Why didn’t you wake me up to go together?”

Huo Shiyuan: “I didn’t think you’d be willing to go out for a walk in such hot weather, even in the morning.”

Yuan Xi chuckled and looked at Anan in her arms, “I’d still be happy to accompany the baby outside.”

Huo Shiyuan asked Yuan Xi: “Are you going to the company today?”

Yuan Xi shook her head: “From now on, I’ll try to free up holidays to spend time with the two children.”

Huo Shiyuan said: “There is an event today at the Shiyi headquarters, will you accompany me?”

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan: “I’ve made plans with Suisui, she’s coming over to play today…”

Huo Shiyuan took out his phone and sent a message to Ye Huan, then went upstairs to change his clothes.

While Yuan Xi was playing with Lele, she received a video call from Liang Suisui.

Yuan Xi answered the video call, and Liang Suisui’s exaggerated voice came through, “My dear Chuchen little bao, have you been missing your auntie?”

As Anan stayed in Yuan Xi’s arms, she excitedly looked towards the phone screen upon hearing the voice.

Yuan Xi laughed softly, “Have you arrived?”

Liang Suisui said, “Sorry, I’m not coming over today. Ye Huan asked me to go to the amusement park.”

“Today? Going to the amusement park in 38-degree heat?” Yuan Xi found it hard to understand as she looked at the bright morning sunshine outside.

Liang Suisui explained, “It’s for love. No matter how hot it is, going to the amusement park with your beloved one is always worth it.”

Yuan Xi smiled, “Alright then, we’ll catch up next time.”

“Bye-bye, Chuchen bao bao.”

Yuan Xi waved her son’s chubby little hand towards Liang Suisui, “Bye-bye.”

“Wuuu wuuu!” Upon hearing the whimpering of a little baby, Yuan Xi quickly turned to look at Little Lele being held by the nanny.

Little Lele looked at Yuan Xi holding Anan and cried with a sense of grievance, his little mouth quivering, tugging at the heartstrings of anyone who saw it.

Yuan Xi handed Anan to another nanny and then took Little Lele in her arms, “Lele, be good, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

As soon as Lele was in Yuan Xi’s arms, he stopped crying.

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, “You really are more jealous than your daddy.”

“Jealous of what?”

Hearing Huo Shiyuan’s voice coming down the spiral staircase, Yuan Xi looked up to see Huo Shiyuan dressed in a custom-made suit and trousers today, with a tie lazily draped over his shirt.

Huo Shiyuan approached Yuan Xi and said, “Help me with my tie.”

Yuan Xi gestured to the Lele in her arms, “She only lets me hold her.”

Huo Shiyuan took Lele from Yuan Xi with one hand, “Sometimes you don’t have to indulge her so much. She’s just six months old and already knows how to manipulate you.”

As Yuan Xi was tying Huo Shiyuan’s tie, she smiled and said, “Why shouldn’t I spoil my daughter? Besides, my Lele just wants to be held by me a bit longer.”

After Yuan Xi finished tying the tie for Huo Shiyuan, she teased the Lele in Huo Shiyuan’s arms into laughter.

Lele laughed out loud, and seeing this scene, Huo Shiyuan also smiled gently; indeed, what does it matter to spoil their daughter a little extra?

Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “Ye Huan took a leave today to go to the amusement park with his girlfriend. Suisui probably won’t come, so why don’t you come with me to Shiyi’s headquarters?”

“Okay,” Yuan Xi agreed.

It was only when she followed Huo Shiyuan to Shiyi that Yuan Xi learned that today’s event was not only Shiyi’s but an association meeting held within the Shiyi Hotel.

Upon arriving at the event, Yuan Xi whispered to Huo Shiyuan, “Why didn’t you tell me it was such an important event? I’m even wearing such a casual dress, and I didn’t even put on makeup.”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “I think you look prettier without makeup.”

Yuan Xi quickly adjusted her mindset and accompanied Huo Shiyuan, mingling with the guests. With years of professional experience, Yuan Xi was not shy at all and performed well as the “vase” beside Huo Shiyuan.

“President Huo, hello.”

Yuan Xi saw a neatly dressed young woman with a perfectly made-up face approaching Huo Shiyuan, carrying a faint scent on her.

“President Huo, I am Li Zhenzhen, the founder of Shijing Inn. I heard that Shiyi is working on a complete resort project by Ruohu in Jiang City, and I would like to build a Shijing Inn there…”

Upon seeing the visitor, Yuan Xi smiled faintly. She had heard of Shijing Inn before, known for creating a high-end and serene bed and breakfast experience.
