Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 182 - 180: Where I Live, You Live

The eldest son’s business dealings with giants and tycoons from Europe and the Middle East, and interactions with politicians, Mafia Gangs, and associations from various countries...

How could Huo Tianpei not know?

The son of today is no longer a mere businessman; otherwise, where would the reputation of a business devil come from?

Although Huo Tianpei still holds the position of chairman and maintains control of the Huo Group’s shares, he is well aware that after having had little involvement in the company’s affairs for many years, he’s somewhat like a figurehead, uncertain whether he could still hold sway over his son.

At the moment, he was relying purely on a father’s authority, trying his best to make his son compromise.

Huo Zhenyang’s deep, dark eyes were filled with a piercing coldness as he scrutinized the elderly man.

Such a gaze implied that if this elder wasn’t his own biological father, he might have already been dragged out.

His tone was so devoid of emotion yet chilling to the bone, "So, are you threatening me?"

Bound by paternal dignity, Huo Tianpei naturally wouldn’t back down either and stared straight at his son.

Yao Zhenru felt a secret joy in her heart, hoping desperately that Huo Zhenyang would just storm off and thoroughly infuriate the old man!

The atmosphere in the Huo Garden living room suddenly became unbearably tense, as if it was filled with the scent of gunpowder!

Even the usually adept roundabout butler was stunned and didn’t know what to say to mediate.

It was at this moment that a lazy, coquettish voice broke the impasse between father and son:

"Zhenyang, I’m sleepy."

The girl rubbed her eyes and spoke softly, easing the awkward and strained standoff between father and son.

Huo Zhenyang’s frigid gaze gradually softened, he curved his lips slightly and fondly ruffled the little girl’s hair. His actions and tone were filled with indulgence:

"Butler, prepare a room and have the servants draw a bath."

The butler was taken aback. Was the young master planning to stay with Miss Jiayi?

Huo Zhenyang had already turned his gaze toward the old man, with inscrutable, almost devious eyes, he lazily stated, "I and the little girl have been on a plane for hours, we will stay over, no problem, right?"

Huo Tianpei felt his breath catch in his throat, knowing his son was using this as an excuse to avoid the earlier question.

However, with Jiayi’s intervention, at least the sharp tension between father and son was somewhat alleviated; Huo Tianpei let out a sigh of relief, after all, he didn’t want to fall out with his son.

Thinking this, although the old man’s expression was still serious, his tone was slightly milder, "Prepare rooms for the young master and Miss Jiayi."

Huo Zhenyang tenderly pinched the little girl’s cheek, "Baby, go upstairs first. You didn’t sleep well leaning on me during the flight, dark circles are showing. Go take a bath and sleep."

Mu Qingran watched the pair display their affection, her face turning green as she clenched her fists.

"I’m staying at Huo Garden? Isn’t that inappropriate?" Jiayi glanced deliberately at Mu Qingran.

"What’s inappropriate about it? You’re my fiancée; no one has more right to live in Huo Garden than you. Where I live, you live."

The man spoke gently, playfully grazing the little girl’s nose with his finger, showing boundless indulgence.

Jiayi pouted, "Okay, then I want to stay in the room next to yours!"

"Why must you have the room next to mine?" The man chuckled lightly.

"I’m afraid that in the dead of night, some ill-intentioned mice or cockroaches might sneak into your room and eat you up!"

...

The sweet conversation washed over Mu Qingran in waves.

At the last statement, her face turned purple, how could she not perceive the blatant sarcasm!

Mice? Cockroaches? Wasn’t that referring to herself?

What’s going on now? Does she intend to stay and cling to Zhenyang, brazenly flaunting their love and sweetness, forcing me to back off or infuriating me to death?

At that moment, Huo Zhenyang gave a slight smile and said even more directly, "Afraid that rats and cockroaches will eat me? Then just stay in the same room with me—wouldn’t that be even safer?"

Stay in the same room? Mu Qingran’s complexion looked even worse.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhenyang had already turned his head towards Huo Tianpei: "We’re going to head upstairs to rest. We won’t keep you any longer, please continue your meal at your leisure."

Jiayi sweetly faced Huo Tianpei and said, "Thank you, Grandfather."

Clutching the man’s arm, she walked to the staircase and yawned sweetly, coquettishly saying, "I’m so tired."

Without a care for the nearby servants’ gaze, Huo Zhenyang picked up the little one in a sweeping motion, before the crowd, lowered his head and rubbed his prominent nose against her, whispering, "Are you still tired now?"

"Not tired anymore... hee hee... that tickles." The little one didn’t hesitate, clung to Huo Zhenyang’s neck, and let him carry her up the stairs.

The butler blushed at the sight.

Several female servants of the Huo Family also turned their faces away.

Mu Qingran had known that Jiayi would show off their love if she stayed in Huo Garden, creating trouble for herself, but she didn’t expect to be shown this the moment she arrived!

Jealousy began to simmer up bit by bit.

She was so enraged that she trembled, clenching her fists. If it weren’t for the child in her belly, she would have rushed up to tear the two apart.

"Grandfather, are you really going to let that girl stay in Huo Garden?" Yao Zhenru watched as the couple’s figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs, dissatisfied.

Mu Qingran also stared intently at Huo Tianpei, with tears of grievance falling from her eyes.

With Jiayi living in Huo Garden, she wouldn’t need to eat—living off anger would be enough to fill her up!

Huo Tianpei frowned deeply: "Let it be, it’s just living here after all. Anyway, Jiayi was once engaged to Zhenyang, is it right to drive her away? After some time, when Zhenyang and Qingran are married, she won’t be able to stay here herself."

——*——

Second floor.

Away from the people downstairs, the environment became quiet.

Finding themselves alone, Jiayi lightly pounded on his sturdy chest and whispered like a mosquito: "There’s no one here. Put me down."

She had anticipated that getting Mu Qingran’s DNA for a paternity test wouldn’t be so easy, so she had resorted to their already-agreed second plan—to stay in Huo Garden for the time being.

First, she would always find some other way to expose Mu Qingran.

Second, acting out uncensored passionate scenes with Huo Zhenyang day and night; seeing Qingran upset would make her feel pleased.

The coquettishness and tenderness she showed downstairs were now gone, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Although he had known that the girl was just acting downstairs, he hadn’t expected her to change this quickly.

This girl’s main purpose for returning to G City was indeed just to strike at Mu Qingran!

Huo Zhenyang felt displeased, glanced down at her, and eventually, gently set her down on the floor.

Jiayi walked to the doorway of her and Huo Zhenyang’s bedroom, hesitating for a moment.

Although it was acting downstairs, pretending to be close to him, she hadn’t expected this man to suggest sharing a room...

She turned her head back and whispered, "Otherwise, I’ll sleep in the room next to yours, is that okay? Just doing that will probably make Mu Qingran angry enough."

"What do you think? We’ve already agreed downstairs to sleep in the same room, if we now separate into two rooms, what do you think others will think?"

Huo Zhenyang’s voice carried a tone of displeasure as he stepped forward and pushed open the bedroom door.
