C8 (1/2)

The little girl took care of the cub and reluctantly turned around to look at Huo Tindong. ”Is it done now?”

The man nodded slightly. ”Sure.”

Ye Jinxin was truly tired. He was just a child, and after experiencing Huo Tindong's deception and intimidation during the day and being scared awake at night by a person's fear, he couldn't take it anymore.

Ye Zichen laid down on the bed weakly with squinted eyes.

”Take off your shoes.”

”Alright.” With her eyes closed, the little girl vaguely replied. Then, she swung her leg, throwing her pink slippers under the bed.

Huo Tindong frowned. Seeing that she couldn't even open her eyes, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Forget it, he had bullied her quite a bit today.

It was more than enough.

Then he bent down and picked up the two little clogs and put them on the shoe cabinet under the bed. He arranged them neatly.

There was no helping it, this was Virgo's strong desire for control.

Everything had to be neat.

He picked the child up from the bed, put him under the covers, and tucked him into the quilt.

He got up, went around the bed, lifted the blanket and went to sleep.

He stood up and was about to turn on the bedside lamp when he suddenly remembered that the girl was sleeping with him. Would the lights wake her?

As he thought of this, he groped around in the dark to take a look. Only then did he discover that the child was hugging his arm, sleeping soundly.

The thing that Huo Tinton hated the most was having someone else touch him while he was sleeping. It would make him feel very dangerous and insecure. This kind of suspicion was also developed through years of commercial plotting.

He wanted to pull his hand away, but just as he moved, Ye Jin's heart subconsciously groaned and tightened his grip.

The man leaned forward and used his other hand to straighten her shoulder, trying to get her to let go.

The child opened his mouth and talked in his sleep, and Huo Tindong leaned over to listen. He heard the little girl call out, ”Mother.”

He felt his heart ache. Only the heavens knew where this affection came from.

He sighed and lay back down on the bed.

Forget it. If you want to hug me, then hug me. At most, I won't sleep tonight.

As he thought of this, he moved closer to the little girl, allowing her to hug his arm more comfortably.

He didn't think that he would fall asleep, but after a while, he fell into a deep slumber.

The habit that he had formed over the years had been broken by a child.

What a miracle.

In the morning, Huo Tindong went out.

He had just acquired the Ye Group, so it was a new position. Whether it was the old or new employees, they were all waiting to see how he, the new CEO, would turn the tide and save the declining Ye Real Estate.

Among them, there weren't many who truly wanted to see him do something.

Most of it was just a joke.

After all, he was the Emperor who had plotted to usurp the throne, and he was unpopular.

Before he even entered the company, he saw his assistant, Wang Xiangnan, hurrying past.

”What's wrong?”

Huo Ting locked the car with a clatter. ”What?” Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows in annoyance as he looked at the person in front of him who was panting heavily. ”What does it look like to be in such a hurry at the company's entrance?”

”Boss, you don't know.” Wang Xiangnan wasn't very old, but his attainments in financial construction were very high, so he was highly valued by Huo Tindong. Because he was similar in age to Huo Tindong, he was young and energetic, unlike the other employees in the company who were afraid of him.
