Chapter 36: Your Taste in Women Is Getting Worse

After seeing him nod in agreement, only then did Ye Anxin nod back with satisfaction. She took out a piece of paper and a pen from her backpack, wrote down her phone number, and handed it to Huo Jiantian. “Tiantian, this is my phone number. My name is Ye Anxin. If your father hits you again, you should call to tell me, and I will come back to defend you.”

“Big sister is so nice! Thank you, sister!” Huo Jiantian happily took the note and put it directly in his pocket.

“Okay, I’ll be leaving now.” Ye Anxin patted his head, turned around, and walked toward the door.

As Ye Anxin’s hand touched the doorknob, Huo Yunmo’s voice rang out from behind her, “Madame brought back Tiantian for me, so I would like to treat you to a meal to say thank you.”

“No need. It wasn’t a big deal.” Ye Anxin shook her head and refused, and then she opened the door and left.

Only after Ye Anxin had gotten on the elevator, gone downstairs, and exited the Huotian Building did Huo Jiantian happily hug Huo Yunmo’s thigh and say with a smile, “See, Dad, I’m the capable one. All I had to do was squeeze out a few tears, and not only did she tell me her name, but I also got her phone number. Dad, in the future, we can go out with big sister if we have nothing to do, and she definitely won’t refuse me. Now that I’ve given you the opportunity to approach big sister, how will you thank me?”

“You little rascal!” His eyes full of doting affection, Huo Yunmo couldn’t help but caress his little head.

Huo Jiantian grimaced at Huo Yunmo, and then moved his gaze toward the woman who was standing behind the desk in a daze. He smacked his lips and said with disdain, “Dad, your taste in women is getting worse.”

When she heard him say this, the beautiful face of the woman standing behind the desk turned pale and became completely embarrassed.

Huo Yunmo glanced at the woman as he said emotionlessly, “You don’t need to come for work anymore after today.”

“President…!” The woman’s face immediately lost all its color, and she staggered back two steps.

Huo Jiantian stood with his hands on his hips as he said, “Go away! What my father needs is a secretary. He doesn’t need a woman like you who only wants to climb into his bed to work beside him.”

The woman’s body trembled as she staggered away.

“You little rascal…!” When he saw his son’s mischievous mannerisms, Huo Yunmo’s eyes became gentle and soft.

…

That night, when Ye Anxin returned home from school, Mu Beiting had unexpectedly already returned and was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper.

Ye Anxin put her textbooks on the coffee table and sat down next to Mu Beiting, asking with a smile, “Mister, why did you come home so early today?”

Mu Beiting glanced at her, then put aside his newspaper, and asked nonchalantly, “Where did you go today?”

Ye Anxin didn’t understand what he meant for a while. She blinked and said blankly, “I was at school all day. I didn’t go anywhere. What are you talking about?”

As soon as Ye Anxin finished speaking, it was obvious that the surrounding temperature had dropped a few degrees, and Mu Beiting’s emotionless eyes had instantly become gloomy.

“Mister…?” Not understanding Mu Beiting’s change in mood, Ye Anxin questioned meekly. Everything had been fine moments before, so why was he angry again?

Mu Beiting said in a deep voice, “Do you remember what I told you last night?”

Ye Anxin carefully racked her brains, then said sullenly, “You told me a lot of things last night. Which one do you mean?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s eyes became colder again. His thin lips parted slightly, and he said coldly, “I told you to stay away from Huo Yunmo, and what did you promise me?”
