Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 469 - 467: I Don’t Want a Little Brother so Soon
Huo Zhenyang finally stopped the car, a satisfied smile curving at the corner of his lips. The little lady had at last begun to compromise.
There was plenty more time in the future, no rush. In this world, there were only two things he could afford to wait on: one was money, the other was time.
Seeing him stop, Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car with Zaizai. They headed swiftly toward home, avoiding any prying eyes.
"I just saw that godfather was using his mouth to ’poof poof’ you, right?" Zaizai suddenly remarked as they were about to go upstairs.
He had kept silent just now to save his mommy’s face, knowing she got embarrassed easily—did she think he was blind?
Jiayi’s heart nearly leaped out of her chest, "Don’t talk nonsense."
"Hmph. You hide everything from me, I’m not talking to you anymore! I’m going to hang out with grandma!" Zaizai huffed, clearly upset.
All Jiayi could do was respond in a soft, coaxing tone, "Alright, alright, it was with the mouth... but mommy also ’poofs’ you with her mouth when you fall down, it’s normal."
As if he, Chu Zhuoting, didn’t understand anything!
Zaizai’s lips curled up into a smirk: "It’s normal for mommy to ’poof’ me, but you’re a girl and godfather is a boy, so when you ’poof’ it’s not normal. That’s how babies are made; only husbands and wives can do that!"
Jiayi was torn between laughter and tears, not knowing what to say, and could only curse that man a hundred times in her heart.
When Jiayi didn’t reply, Zaizai patted her shoulder, "Actually, you dating godfather and getting married to him wouldn’t be so bad. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t oppose it, it’s much better than you meeting those unknown men outside."
He paused, then continued earnestly, "However, absolutely no ’poofing’ before marriage! I don’t want a little brother so soon!"
Date? Get married?
Jiayi’s heart, which had been restless all night, cooled down completely upon hearing Zaizai’s innocent words, and she couldn’t help but break into a self-mocking smile.
Zaizai was thinking too much.
He would never know, would he? That man, alone in Yunling City, needed a woman to keep him company, solely for the purpose of supporting her.
How could marriage even be a possibility?
She had actually let herself get carried away all night.
Zaizai’s words brought her heart back to calm.
Collecting her emotions, she took Zaizai’s hand and they went upstairs.
——————
The day after the amusement park visit.
Jiayi felt that her relationship with that certain someone had undergone a subtle chemical change, although she wasn’t angry anymore. She still tried to avoid getting too close to him when working at Disheng.
It seemed she feared that getting any closer would lead to getting burned.
Luckily, he wasn’t at Disheng every day.
In the past, she thought this wasn’t his house so he didn’t come often, occasionally returning to his own place.
Now she understood that his recent return to the country was focused around Yunling City, investing in The Seven Coastal Cities, often flying between them on short trips.
Ade, upon realizing Jiayi was aware of the Boss’s identity, spoke more freely around her.
She finally grasped why even Vice-Mayor Xu had given him such great face.
The man’s return from overseas wasn’t only about re-establishing his business standing but also marked a determined foray into politics.
As Mayor Qiao of Yunling City approached his term’s end, he was currently in the race for the mayoral position of Yunling City. With his capabilities, status, and connections, it was almost a certain victory.
The deputy mayors below him were not without their flattery.
Xiaobo’s father, the Deputy Mayor Xu, also made concessions for the same reason.
In fact, Jiayi had wanted to ask Ade if Huo Zhenyang was sick, since the incident of him taking medication for a headache that night was still fresh in her mind.
However, Ade didn’t mention this at all, but instead reminded Jiayi not to talk recklessly about the Boss’s illness outside.
By evening, the sky over the Disheng Villa Area was dyed with the colors of the sunset, making the beautifully structured villas look even more noble and lush.
That day, work ended early, so Jiayi came to the villa to clean early as well.
She had only finished half the work when she heard the sound of decisive footsteps at the front entrance of the villa, accompanied by the respectful voices of Sister Hui and the hourly maid:
"Mr. Huo is back."
Then a man’s voice, slightly weary but still composed, followed: "Hmm. You all may leave."
Jiayi was about to turn around with Sister Hui and the maid to go back to the maids’ room temporarily, waiting for him to go upstairs before continuing her work, when she heard the footsteps approaching rapidly, without the slightest pause.
"You stay."
Huo Zhenyang’s voice was cold and clear, yet resolutely powerful, brooking no refusal.
Sister Hui looked back, giving Jiayi a piercing glance, and then looked at the young master, feeling that the relationship between the two had changed lately, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly how.
Nonetheless, no matter what, the young master’s treatment of this woman seemed to be very unusual.
Fearing the young master’s anger, Sister Hui didn’t linger, pressing down her speculations and displeasure before leaving first.
Jiayi stood still without looking up: "Mr. Huo, do you have any instructions?"
Since she hadn’t accepted his offer to forgive her debt, she might as well maintain a bit of professionalism and quietly fulfill her duties as a maid in debt.
Huo Zhenyang watched her respectful demeanor, not the least bit pleased, on the contrary, a hint of indescribable chill appeared at the edge of his lips.
Ever since that day at the amusement park, this little woman had been avoiding him, and he was very clear about it.
The previous avoidance was because she was angry that he had kept things from her, making a fool out of her. But this time, her avoidance seemed to push people thousands of miles away, as if he was tainted with poison.
And now, she still maintained the attitude of a maid towards her master, which made him even more displeased.
Holding back his discontent, Huo Zhenyang said firmly: "Change your clothes, and come out with me."
Jiayi swallowed: "Where to?"
"Shengjing Hotel. Accompany me to meet some mayors and political figures," the man tossed out casually.
Shengjing Hotel? Even though Jiayi had never been there, she knew it was the most luxurious place in all of Yunling, no, it should be considered among the most luxurious in The Seven Coastal Cities.
The lavish decor and the environment of Shengjing Hotel was just one aspect of it.
What was more important was that this was a gathering place for elites, where numerous top-tier political figures congregated.
Jiayi muttered: "Last time going to the yacht was alright, but this time the occasion is too solemn, I’m afraid I can’t handle it and will embarrass you. Perhaps you should find someone more professional, like Tracy and the others."
A shadow fell over Huo Zhenyang’s face, a trace of gloom descended, and he took several steps forward.
The lengthening shadow fell upon her, forcing her to shrink back involuntarily.
He lifted her chin with his hand, commanding her to tilt her pale, delicate face up: "This time it’s not me asking you to go, someone specifically invited you."
Having not been this close to her in many days... he thought the special feeling he had for her would fade, but being in close proximity now, the heat within him flared like a wildfire, consuming his entire body.
And it made him unbearably itchy.
"Someone invited me?" Jiayi was astonished. How could that be? Who would invite her?
