Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xu could not stop staring at his new little sister, as if an inspecting doctor, before he frowned, saying, “Yang Yang, my sister looks underweight. We must feed her well when she gets out! She’ll be fles.h.i.+er by then!”
Apparently, fleshy girls would be the basic attribute for cute girls according to little boys like Huo Xu.
Lu Zhaoyang giggled as Huo Yunting lifted his son and snorted, “Well, we will talk about that when you actually get fleshy for once!”
“Yes! Xuxu will eat more vegetables and meat tomorrow onwards so that I’ll become tall and strong to protect my sister!”
“Good boy!” Huo Yunting was very pleased, unlike Lu Zhaoyang who was rather terrified at the idea of her son becoming bulky instead of being lean, cute and handsome.
No, what do you mean by tall and strong? I want a Tom Cruise at my house, not the Rock!
A few days later, Huo Chen and Wen He returned to have a look at the baby girl.
“She’ll be fine, don’t worry,” said Wen He gleefully. “By the way, what’s her name?”
“Well, Yunting and I had already thought of that. Ran. ‘Ran’ as in the sun slowly rises and the scent gradually flows. She’ll be my baby gradually growing into a princess. Huo Ran.”
“Great.” And both ladies got into a sister-to-sister conversation again.
In the meantime, Huo Chen gave Huo Yunting a look, “I need to talk to you,” before leaving the room, leading Huo Yunting to a quiet corner outside the hospital.
They got to a wall on the other side of the hospital, against which Huo Yunting leaned on one feet as he lit his cigarette and puffed a few times—it looked too casual compared to the serious standing posture the military man had.
Huo Chen sighed upon the sight and initiated, “Do you remember the p.a.w.n you used, from Rondel Gang, called Bruce? The one that got arrested in the end?”
“Yeah why?” Huo Yunting tapped the ashes away.
“Apparently, his family is rather established in America.” Huo Chen’s eyes turned grave, “And Bruce seems to be a very important member to the family, that he was expected to expand the forces to Country Z and you messed him up back then. Don’t you think the family would do something about it?”
“Your point being?”
“Well, I had discovered traces about them at the boundary. They might have infiltrated the country during the war at that time.” Huo Chen walked towards Huo Yunting with a severe stare, “If we don’t do anything about it, soon they’ll gather into a stronger force. Eventually, they’ll get you.”
Huo Yunting squinted his eyes upon the advice, “They can’t get in without somebody’s help.”
“What are you implying?”
“HAH!” He sneered, “Have you forgotten someone?” He exhaled a long column of smoke as he lifted his chin slightly at Huo Chen. He announced in a terrifying tone, “Xiang Jinxi.”
“…” Upon hearing the name, Huo Chen enlarged his eyes at first, before losing all expression on his face.
I remember him. He killed my mother.
“So you are implying that Xiang Jinxi has formed an alliance with Bruce’s family?”
Huo Yunting then retracted the threatening eyes of his and replied casually, “Well, not only Xiang Jinxi. We also have Qiu Jin and his family. I had done my research properly. Qiu Jin’s family migrated to France generations back. They were quite established there too. They might not be as formidable as Bruce’s family but they are loaded enough to do something.”
Loaded enough to have run a corporation as major as mine.
Huo Chen frowned, “That’s bad.”
“Bad?” Huo Yunting snickered and sent the cigarette b.u.t.t to the ground with his finger before stepping on it restlessly, “I’ll be waiting.”
Bring the worst. I’ll wait.
