Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1269 - 1247: You Think You’re My Dad?

Jiayi didn’t know how to comfort her.

In fact, she felt she wasn’t qualified to advise Chu Xinyue on handling relationship issues.

Just a few minutes ago, she had an argument with someone.

After a few words, the car stopped in front of the Chu Family’s house.

Chu Xinyue watched Jiayi and George get out of the car and enter the house before instructing the driver to turn the car around and go back to the Ya Family.

**

Evening.

Huo Zhenyang returned to the Chu Family’s home and scanned the living room as soon as he entered.

Normally at this time, Little Kitten would be downstairs with his father-in-law, watching TV and waiting for him.

Today, his father-in-law sat alone on the sofa, chatting with his mother-in-law back in China on his phone.

That little woman was not here.

Chu Yanhan saw him return, looked up from his phone screen, greeted him, and instructed a servant, "Prepare dinner for the son-in-law."

"No need, I’ve already eaten at the army," he nodded slightly, removing his suit jacket with the help of a servant, rolling up the sleeves of his white shirt, "Where’s Jiayi?"

"Upstairs. Right after dinner, she went upstairs and closed the room door, said she was tired."

Looks like the little woman is genuinely upset.

His eyes deepened as he headed straight upstairs.

Her bedroom door was tightly shut, unlike usual when it would be open.

Brows furrowed, he walked to the door, knocked a few times, but there was no response.

Jiggled the doorknob, damn, it was locked from the inside.

He lowered his voice, ordering, "Why lock the door so tight, aren’t you afraid of suffocating? Open it!"

A sweet yet dismissive voice came from inside, "Afraid of a big bad guy sneaking in in the middle of the night."

His face changed, annoyed, big bad guy?

He thought she’d cooled off after coming home, but didn’t expect this little wildcat to hold a grudge.

Is it because they’re at her parents’ house, with her father’s support, she isn’t taking him seriously?

"Open it for me!" he lowly roared, unleashing his authority.

She stomped to the door, "In the army, people respect you because of my brother-in-law, calling you Lord Huo, and you really think you can order me around? You tell me to open it, I should open it? Do you think you’re my dad? I’m not raised by you!"

"You’re quite right about that! I’ve cared for you longer than your dad has!" he sneered.

Does this little cat know that she worries him more than Yiyi does?

It’s like raising another daughter.

Topsy-turvy!

If they were back home in China, or somewhere else, he wouldn’t even bother talking to her, he’d just barge right in.

But now they’re at the Chu Family’s home, there’s some concern that it’d be improper for her father-in-law to see, so he’s constrained.

She counted on her fingers, no way he’s cared for her that long? What an egomaniac! Who needs his care!

She couldn’t be bothered, and the thought of him chatting intimately with the woman she despises most made her angry.

Of all people to flirt with, why did he have to flirt with someone who ruins families?

And they chatted so warmly!

The mere thought of Lan Yurou looking at him made her want to puke.

She returned to the bed, turned over, and stared at the TV, turning up the volume on the remote.

The door didn’t move an inch, and the TV sound from the room grew louder, Huo Zhenyang’s face turned grim as if a trapped beast restlessly paced at the door.

A Chu Family servant vaguely heard the son-in-law arguing with the third miss and cautiously approached, "Son-in-law and the third miss... what’s going on? Is the third miss arguing with you? Not letting you in?"

Huo Zhenyang was a bit embarrassed, letting out a cold snort, "Nothing."

With that, he turned and went back to his own room, closing the door.

Jiayi heard the loud slam of the guest room door across and sat up.

She didn’t think she was being spoiled or unreasonable in her anger.

Seeing her man speaking intimately with the woman she disliked most wouldn’t make any woman happy.

But she didn’t expect to be this angry.

Maybe subconsciously, she was a bit scared.

Unsure if after a certain time together, a man and a woman both feel this way.

It’s that—fear of gain and loss.

Fear he might gradually lose interest in her, and she would no longer hold the same allure for him, making her anxious.

He’s successful, in his thirties, at the golden age for a man, more attractive and manly than a young lad, his every move impeccable, almost capable of attracting any woman who sees him.

But what about her, as he just said, she practically grew up under his wings since they met when she was eighteen.

Without his care, she would be so ordinary.

She wasn’t as dazzling or charming as female stars, able to handle matters skillfully or cheer people up.

She wasn’t as independent or capable as Fang Yao.

Nor was she as composed as Xinyue.

Every time she or her family encountered trouble, they relied on him to rescue them.

Even opening a shop, if not for his support from behind, it would probably be a mess...

Perhaps that’s why her emotions were especially intense this time. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Besides being angry with him, she was angry with herself.

Angry for not being as strong as him, only able to passively enjoy his protection.

Even more afraid.

Afraid he would be attracted to a better woman and one day grow tired of this ordinary self.

After a long while, Jiayi calmed down, walked to the door wanting to open it and go see him, but ultimately stopped.

Biting her lip, pride wouldn’t allow it, finally, she turned around and retreated.

**

Over the next few days.

People at the Chu Family noticed something not quite right between the son-in-law and the third miss.

Chu Yanhan also heard from a servant about the couple’s argument that night and privately asked Huo Zhenyang about it.

Huo Zhenyang only said lightly that it was nothing.

When asked Jiayi, she didn’t say much either.

She still hadn’t told her father about Ya Chen and Lan Yurou, so she didn’t say more this time.

In the end, Chu Yanhan couldn’t ask much further.

...

By dusk, as the sky darkened, the servants served the food at the dining table.

Huo Zhenyang came home early today.

After days of silent treatment with Little Kitten, he had enough. Today he came home purposely early, planning to soothe her properly.

At dinner, Jiayi, as she did the past few days, silently ate without saying a word.

Chu Yanhan observed his daughter’s demeanor, coughed twice, and threw a look at Huo Zhenyang.

Huo Zhenyang was about to speak when an escort from A Country walked in and announced at the door:

"Lord Huo, someone is looking for you."

Huo Zhenyang frowned, annoyed at being interrupted at this moment, raised his brow, "Someone from the crown prince’s side?"

"No."

He put down his chopsticks; if it wasn’t from Ya Chen’s side, then it must be from the S Country government.

During his time in S Country, Prime Minister Qu sent special envoys to visit every few days.

"Someone from the Prime Minister’s side? Tell them to go back." He impatiently raised his voice.

People in the Chu Family held their breath.

Being able to dismiss a special envoy from the Prime Minister like a beggar, perhaps only the third son-in-law could do it.
