Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 589 - 590 Discovery 6

"Mom, I’m going to pick vegetables with Grandma," Ke’er said, running towards the kitchen.

"Slow down," Tian Xingyun called out.

"Sister~"

"Sweetie, have you been good today? Did you upset Grandma?"

"Daddy~ I want Daddy!" Sweetie pouted unhappily, she hadn’t seen her father in a long time.

"Shall we call Daddy, okay?"

"Daddy~" Sweetie grinned.

Tian Xingyun took out her phone and dialed Huo Shaohua’s number. He should be off work by now.

――

Huo Shaohua was currently entertaining a few clients over dinner and had a few drinks, feeling a bit dizzy.

His eyes were fixed on the phone on the table, wondering if he should call her.

Just tell her he misses his daughter, that’s why he’s calling.

As he hesitated, the phone suddenly lit up and vibrated.

Seeing the name on the screen, his heart jumped, and he quickly picked up the phone, "Hello."

Receiving her call made him inexplicably excited. Even while being with Li Zhiting, she still thought of calling him.

Knowing that she was having a barbecue with Tian Ning and Li Zhiting made him feel very upset.

He drank a few more glasses out of sadness, but now receiving her call made him especially happy!

She still had him in her heart!

"Daddy~ I miss you!" Sweetie shouted, as Tian Xingyun put the phone on speaker and held it close to her daughter.

"Sweetheart, Daddy misses you too!" Huo Shaohua smiled, hearing his daughter’s voice made him very happy.

"Sweetie has been insisting on calling you, so we did. Hope we’re not disturbing you?" Tian Xingyun said cautiously, worried she might be interrupting him and Song Yi.

"I’m not busy," Huo Shaohua said, glancing at everyone at the table, then got up and walked out.

Leaving behind a puzzled Andy and Hu Yuxi, along with several clueless executives.

Andy rolled his eyes internally, thinking, is this what he calls not busy?

These executives were important clients, and President Huo just told them he’s not busy, essentially implying they weren’t important.

This... President Huo, isn’t that a bit too capricious?

"President Hu, is President Huo talking to his child?" one of the bolder executives asked, having heard rumors that Huo Shaohua had a daughter.

When they heard him say "Daddy misses you too," could the rumors be true?

"Yes, his daughter," Hu Yuxi replied, not hiding the fact.

His cousin had answered the phone in front of so many people, and hearing his words, they could guess.

If he tried to hide it now, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, his cousin had no intention of hiding Sweetie’s existence, openly taking her to the company.

What else was there to hide?

"Does President Huo really have a daughter? How come I’ve never heard about his marriage?" another executive asked curiously.

"He’s quite low-key, he’ll announce it when the time is right," Hu Yuxi replied, assuming Huo Shaohua was already married.

But he didn’t mention who Mrs. Huo was, though in his heart, he somewhat hoped it was Xingyun.

Besides Xingyun, no one else deserved the title of Mrs. Huo.

But he also didn’t want it to be Xingyun because he liked Xingyun.

He wished Xingyun could marry him, which made him very conflicted internally!

After Hu Yuxi said this, the others wisely refrained from asking more questions.

They resumed chatting and drinking, without bringing up Huo Shaohua again.

Huo Shaohua sat in the lounge, unable to hide his smile.

"Are you home?" Tian Xingyun asked. She thought if he was home, they could end the call.

To avoid Song Yi seeing it and causing unnecessary trouble again.

"I’m entertaining clients outside," Huo Shaohua answered honestly without hiding from her.

"Then you go ahead, we’ll call you later!" Tian Xingyun said anxiously, knowing the clients he entertained must be important.
