Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 711 - 691: Daddy Is Here!

Jiayi saw the disappointment in Little Baozi’s eyes and forced a smile, making an encouraging gesture.

It’s not like that man has to be there.

Whatever daddy can do, mommy can just as well.

At the beginning of the parent-child sports day, the first cooperative game between parents and children caught Jiayi off guard. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The confidence she had just felt deflated like a punctured balloon.

The game required couples to race to the finish line in a three-legged race, then hand the relay baton to their children, who would then run to the other side.

As soon as the rules were explained, the children dashed towards their parents like birds set free.

Zaizai shook his head and sighed, walking over to stand beside mommy.

Jiayi, watching other couples start to tie their legs together with ropes, crouched down, feeling a bit guilty, "Zaizai, let’s forfeit this game, okay? We’ll take part in the next one. Mommy promises you, we’ll make up the points in the next game!"

Was there any other choice?

In a three-legged race, how do you race with three legs if there’s only one person?

Zaizai’s little face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

Having a bucket of cold water thrown on them at the very start of the sports day, sitting on the cold bench, no one was happy.

The female teacher came over, looked at the two staring blankly at each other, and understanding that Jiayi couldn’t participate in this event, kindly said, "Huo Zhuoting, why don’t you and mommy rest on the side for now—this game you don’t have to join—"

"Who says Huo Zhuoting isn’t participating?"

A deep yet mellow voice, accompanied by the firm sound of leather shoes, came from afar.

The voice, though not loud, carried a unique sense of authority.

It made the noisy crowd quiet down as if the air had cleared after a rain, for a few seconds.

All eyes followed the sound.

A tall and imposing man approached, with depth in his eyes like the distant sky, mysterious and serene, his tightly pursed lips exuding a strong sense of authority, his eyebrows like drawn bows, his temples cut sharp as knives, wearing a Bosideng British style business suit, with a Vacheron Constantin diamond mechanical watch on his robust wrist gleaming in the bright outdoor sun, heading directly towards the track from the main entrance.

The man was very tall, at a glance over one eighty-seven, with a well-proportioned and sturdy build, the neatly pressed and refined suit wrapping a body of golden proportions, highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

The closer he got, the more surprised exclamations were heard in the crowd.

Some parents of the kindergarten children gasped quietly, "Mayor Huo—"

A few parents, who were senior government officials, even temporarily put aside the game, eagerly fawning over, "Mayor Huo has come to join the parent-child sports day?"

Although the parents all knew that Mayor Huo’s only child was a classmate of their own children at Qixing, they had never had the opportunity to meet Huo Zhenyang face to face.

Having the chance to see him today, naturally, they couldn’t flatter him fast enough.

Especially Huo Zhenyang’s direct subordinates at the city hall and several business-minded parents who had always dreamed of getting on good terms with the government.

Zaizai’s eyes widened, and he became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "Daddy’s here!"

Jiayi was stunned.

That day, after attending the wedding at the hotel, Huo Zhenyang had personally escorted General Gan back to his hotel room.

With one in the south and one in the north, it was rare for two politicians to gather, and they had a lot to discuss, causing him to return home very late that day.

In the days that followed, as host and friend, he had kept General Gan in Yunling for a few days.

Every day, General Gan went sightseeing with his granddaughter Gan Xinxin, accompanied by Huo Zhenyang himself.

Therefore, for these past few days, Huo Zhenyang had barely been back to Disheng.

This morning, General Gan, together with his granddaughter and a few others, left Yunling, and he had personally gone to see them off with his assistant and bodyguards.

She thought that even if he knew about Zaizai’s kindergarten parent-child sports day, he wouldn’t have time to come. Yet unexpectedly, he had rushed over.

Huo Zhenyang gave a quick glance at the petite woman not far off, she had applied light makeup today, dressed in a pale blue sweatshirt ensemble. Her long hair was pulled up into a ponytail, probably to prevent it from getting messy, and she wore a pink hair clip that matched her outfit.

It made her look invincibly youthful, a gust of young girl aura hitting one in the face—she hardly looked like someone who had had a child.

She naturally looked young, and this outfit made her appear even younger by several years.

Standing there holding Little Baozi’s hand, she seemed more like Zaizai’s older sister.

He inexplicably glanced down at his own attire and furrowed his brow subconsciously.

Having seen off the Gan Family, he came straight from the airport and hadn’t had time to change his clothes.

His authoritative business suit appeared distinctly uncoordinated next to her casual and lively get-up, like an uncle with his niece.

It was entirely mismatched.

He took off his suit jacket and handed it to the secretary who had come with him and leisurely rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. He also removed the Vacheron Constantin wristwatch, and only then did he feel somewhat satisfied.

He smoothed his collar and said to a crowd of eager parents, "Today, I’m here to participate in the parent-child sports day, just like everyone else, so don’t be restrained, and no need to address me as Mayor this and Mayor that."

Two kindergarten teachers and security staff, understanding the situation, stepped forward to keep the group of parents at bay: "Alright, the first event of the sports day is about to start, please get ready and take your positions."

Only then did the parents disperse, returning to their spots.

Zaizai, who couldn’t wait any longer, dashed over to Huo Zhenyang: "Daddy, Mommy and I were just worrying about not having someone to join us for the three-legged race!"

He took his son’s hand: "How could Daddy not attend your parent-child sports day?"

With that, he led Zaizai over to the woman who was still in a daze upfront, his eyes cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine:

"Had it not been for Auntie Li mentioning that it was Zaizai’s kindergarten parent-child sports day, I would have been unaware."

Her tender lips moved slightly: "You have been busy entertaining the Gan Family these past few days, and there’s a lot on your plate. Such a small affair, I could handle by myself."

He scoffed, "Really? You could handle it by yourself? Then why were you about to drop out of the first game?"

Jiayi’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Today the weather was unexpectedly pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities.

Under the bright sunshine, her skin gleamed with a light golden luster, lively and delicate, her avoidance of his gaze as if she were a goddess statue one couldn’t help but wish to touch.

For no apparent reason, the scene in the hotel bathroom that night came to mind.

He suddenly felt an impulsive urge.

Silently cursing in the depths of his heart, it was really like being haunted.

In broad daylight, looking at her, he even felt the impulse to devour her whole.

Concealing his gaze, he leaned forward and whispered near her ear, his handsome cheek sporting an affable smile, yet his voice was cool and rough:

"Regardless of what’s between us, let’s not let it affect Zaizai."

To outsiders, they appeared to be whispering intimate secrets between husband and wife.

She paused for a moment, said nothing, which was as good as agreeing with him.

"Aren’t you going to get ready?" he squinted.

For the moment, Jiayi didn’t move, her legs as if rooted to the ground.

Thinking about having to cooperate with him in the three-legged race soon, she felt an indescribable reluctance.

"Do you want to disappoint your son?" he asked coldly.
