Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 449 - 424: Jun, You’re Still So Grumpy in the Morning
Who made me a fool to deserve being played like this, right?
Huo Shaojun looked at Jian Liangtong, whose expression clearly showed her anger but was trying hard to suppress it, raising his long eyebrows slightly as he sat on the sofa.
Jian Liangtong stood awkwardly at the door, neither going in nor staying out.
Ding...
The doorbell suddenly rang, startling Jian Liangtong, who turned around to look.
On the display next to the door appeared the face of a man she had seen before; he was someone’s manager, Guan Yu.
"Still just standing there?" Huo Shaojun furrowed his brows.
"... Oh." Jian Liangtong turned her head, looked at him, then walked over with the remote control and handed it to him.
Huo Shaojun took it, with an unlit cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. After quickly installing the battery, he opened the door.
Guan Yu walked in and, seeing Jian Liangtong, showed no surprise but gave her a friendly smile, "Liang... Miss Jian, we meet again."
Jian Liangtong nodded at him.
Guan Yu placed his things on the coffee table, smiled again at Jian Liangtong, then turned to Huo Shaojun and said, "Everything you asked me to prepare is here."
"Mm." Huo Shaojun responded flatly, and then... nothing.
Guan Yu twitched his lips, "I’ll wait for you downstairs."
Huo Shaojun said nothing.
Uh... okay then!
Reluctantly, Guan Yu turned around to leave.
But when he just took a step forward, he noticed Jian Liangtong was following him.
Guan Yu was taken aback and looked at Jian Liangtong, "Miss Jian, we’re all friends here; no need to be so courteous, seeing me off specially."
Jian Liangtong, "..." Could he be any more narcissistic!
"I’m not seeing you off, I’m leaving myself." Jian Liangtong said earnestly.
"You’re leaving too?" Guan Yu was surprised, looking towards Huo Shaojun.
Seeing him looking at someone, Jian Liangtong glanced at Huo Shaojun, nodded, "Mm."
Guan Yu was instantly bewildered.
"You stay." Huo Shaojun spoke.
"Eh..."
"I told you to stay. I won’t interrupt your discussion anymore, I’m leaving now." Jian Liangtong said swiftly, ready to leave.
Guan Yu quickly grabbed her arm.
Jian Liangtong gasped, turning back to look at him.
Guan Yu smiled amicably at her, pointed at her, "You stay."
"I’m not staying, I have to go." Jian Liangtong fake-smiled. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"No, no, you stay, I’ll leave." Guan Yu also smiled, but directly pulled Jian Liangtong back, patted her shoulder earnestly, and quickly vanished before she could react.
Jian Liangtong watched him slam the door shut as if escaping for his life, too stunned to react.
Huo Shaojun removed the cigarette from his lips, holding it between two long, beautiful fingers, and said to the dumbfounded Jian Liangtong, "Let’s have breakfast first."
Jian Liangtong blinked, furrowing her delicate brows as she turned back to stare at Huo Shaojun, her expression conflicted.
Huo Shaojun lifted his gaze to her, squinted, "Even if you’re leaving, there’s still time for breakfast."
"..." Jian Liangtong looked down, thought about it, and found it made sense, so she turned and walked to the edge of the coffee table, looking at the things Guan Yu had brought.
Among them were two bags of takeout breakfast, and two fashion bags with brands she didn’t recognize. Though unfamiliar, she knew the clothes inside must not be cheap.
Opening the two breakfast bags, Jian Liangtong saw the contents in the boxes, her almond-shaped eyes lighting up slightly. They were unexpectedly her favorite rice cakes and longan barley porridge.
Jian Liangtong looked up at Huo Shaojun, her eyes filled with both delight and a hint of doubt.
Huo Shaojun noticed, his pupils narrowing slightly, as he rose from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom.
Jian Liangtong was stunned, staring at his straight back, and asked confusedly, "Aren’t you eating?"
"You eat," Huo Shaojun said.
"Your manager brought a lot, I can’t finish it all by myself."
"Leave it."
Huo Shaojun coolly tossed out the sentence, then swiftly disappeared into the bedroom.
Jian Liangtong stared at the bedroom direction for a while, shrugged, and started eating.
About half an hour passed, and Huo Shaojun came out of the bedroom, fully dressed.
Jian Liangtong heard the footsteps and looked up, and with just one look, her gaze locked.
The man in front of her was wearing a simple white shirt with a black knit shawl accessory, cropped black casual pants, and white casual shoes.
His short black hair was slightly tousled, and the blue diamond on his left ear glittered dazzlingly, much like him, as if the radiant glow only shone on him.
Jian Liangtong suddenly felt that the saying "God is fair" was the biggest lie in the world.
There was simply no fairness at all, was there?
This man, his height, looks, aura, career—every aspect was perfect to an unfaultable degree.
It felt like a giant solar energy was hovering above, heating up Jian Liangtong’s whole body, and the warmth on her face was so intense even she could feel it.
When his deep eyes swept over, Jian Liangtong quickly averted her gaze, covering the side of her face with one hand as she softly exhaled.
Huo Shaojun did not notice Jian Liangtong’s unusual behavior, sat on the sofa beside her, and asked calmly, "Finished eating?"
Jian Liangtong lowered her head, nodding.
"Go change clothes," Huo Shaojun said.
"..." Jian Liangtong was stunned and looked up at him, puzzled.
Only then did Huo Shaojun notice the unusual blush on Jian Liangtong’s face. His cold eyes fixed on her for a few seconds, and he lightly pursed his lips, saying, "The clothes in the bag are yours, put them on."
Jian Liangtong’s eyes widened as she looked at the fashion bag on the coffee table, pointing at herself, "Mine?"
"Yes."
Jian Liangtong, obedient yet frowning, looked at him and said, "I’m fine wearing this."
Huo Shaojun squinted, staring at her coldly, "Fine?"
Jian Liangtong’s ear tips burned as she awkwardly smoothed the wrinkles on her dress, stubbornly saying, "Fine, alright."
"What are you looking at?" Jian Liangtong, embarrassed and annoyed, clamped her legs together, pressing her hands on the hem of her skirt and glaring at him.
Huo Shaojun smirked as he got up from the sofa, strolling leisurely to Jian Liangtong’s side.
Jian Liangtong guardedly stared at him.
Huo Shaojun tucked his hands in his pockets, leaning slightly, his thin lips brushing against Jian Liangtong’s ear, his voice tinged with mischief and mockery, "If I recall correctly, you didn’t shower last night."
Perhaps it was because he was too close, Jian Liangtong’s mind worked slower than usual, so when he spoke, she didn’t understand what he meant at all.
Huo Shaojun gazed at Jian Liangtong’s lightly trembling long eyelashes from the side, his voice slightly hoarse, "You... inside there should still be your own things."
The word "underwear" was uttered softly, but with them so close, Jian Liangtong couldn’t avoid hearing it!
At this point in the conversation, if Jian Liangtong still didn’t get it, she would truly be a fool!
Her cheeks flushed bright red, Jian Liangtong trembled, biting her lip hard, her almond eyes blazing as she glared at Huo Shaojun, "Pervert!"
After squeezing out those words through her teeth, Jian Liangtong angrily grabbed the fashion bag on the table and stomped heavily into the bedroom.
Bang—
The bedroom door was slammed shut by her, even causing the floor in the living room to shake.
Huo Shaojun slightly lowered his head and glanced sideways toward the bedroom. The corners of his cool lips seemed to lift a bit, or maybe not.
Downstairs in the apartment, Guan Yu sat in an inconspicuous black sedan waiting for two whole hours, finally seeing Jian Liangtong cautiously poking her head out from the apartment building.
Guan Yu felt like he had seen the dawn, hurriedly pushed open the car door, and warmly opened the back seat door, smiling brightly at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong paused for a moment before walking over to Guan Yu.
"Miss, please," Guan Yu looked at Jian Liangtong with starry eyes.
Jian Liangtong’s face flushed slightly, pouting, she said nothing and got in.
Guan Yu cheerfully closed the car door and returned to the driver’s seat, looking at Jian Liangtong through the rearview mirror.
Jian Liangtong had a tall and slim figure, with a supermodel face, fiery red lips, and extraordinarily fair skin that made women jealous and men drool.
Even after having given birth... it was entirely unnoticeable, with a youthful radiance still very prominent.
Moreover, today’s outfit was extremely chic—a red strapless short dress with a black mini-blazer barely covering her tailbone, and her long blonde hair casually tied at the back, while the air bangs on her forehead added to her playfulness and elegance.
In short, it was the first time he had seen a woman combine chicness, allure, and a girlish charm all at once.
"Tsk tsk..."
Guan Yu, caught in his own reverie, audibly remarked.
Jian Liangtong looked at him curiously, "What’s up?"
"Nothing, nothing at all," Guan Yu quickly waved his hand, looking toward the front where Huo Shaojun, wearing a baseball cap, was striding over, "Brother Huo is here."
Jian Liangtong saw him too and subtly pouted her red lips.
Huo Shaojun opened the back seat and got in, then took off his baseball cap, expressionlessly saying, "Drive."
Guan Yu glanced at him, then at Jian Liangtong, smiling, "Aye."
"Seaside South Road." Guan Yu had just started the car when he heard Jian Liangtong say softly.
Guan Yu looked at Jian Liangtong through the rearview mirror, puzzled, "Seaside South Road?"
"I live on Seaside South Road. Sorry for the trouble," Jian Liangtong said.
"So, you’re going home now?" Guan Yu asked in surprise.
Jian Liangtong was puzzled by his startled face, "What’s wrong? Can’t I go home now?"
"Well..." Guan Yu pressed his tongue against his upper teeth, seeking Huo Shaojun’s opinion.
"Times Square," Huo Shaojun said.
"Got it," Guan Yu responded softly and glanced at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong frowned; her face alone revealed nothing of what she was thinking.
Several minutes passed before Jian Liangtong said, "It’s no problem to get out at Times Square. I can take the opportunity to shop before going home."
Huo Shaojun and Guan Yu, "..."
Huo Shaojun’s thin lips tightened, each line on his face showing disdain for Jian Liangtong.
Guan Yu chuckled secretly, saying nothing.
A few more minutes passed before Huo Shaojun suddenly looked at Jian Liangtong, "I’m curious, with your level of intelligence, how have you survived up till now?"
Guan Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly, ears perked to listen to Jian Liangtong’s reply.
Jian Liangtong looked at Huo Shaojun, baffled, "Did I provoke you? Why are you targeting me again?" You should take medication if you’re unwell, why is it so hard?
Huo Shaojun clenched his palm, holding back.
