Chapter 20: Small Request

Ning Wan could not hide her surprise.

Huo Ce looked at her calmly.

Ning Wan swallowed her surprise bit by bit and said gently, “Yes, Sir!”

[Help you pack up my *ss! Who knows what you’re going to bring? I’ll pack a suitcase of underwear for you! Let’s see what you can do!]

Ning Wan held Huo Yuan’s hand and turned to leave.

Huo Ce looked at her back in shock. This woman! This woman! Is she crazy?

D-didn’t she love him the most? Why couldn’t he feel it?

Huo Ce shook his head, wanting to shake out the messy thoughts and voices in his mind. He felt a little confused.

“Sir.” Han Chi hesitated and called out to his dazed boss.

Huo Ce came back to his senses and looked at Han Chi.

“Young Madam—” Han Chi wanted to ask Huo Ce how he should arrange for Ning Wan.

“Is she different from usual?” Huo Ce interrupted Han Chi.

Han Chi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. “Young Madam? No, hasn’t she always been like this?”

She had always been like the most loyal maid. She would look infatuated, afraid that others would not know how much she loved the boss whenever the boss appeared.

Han Chi did not have a good impression of Ning Wan. She often went to the company to cause trouble when she first married into the family. She cleared all the female employees who coveted his boss. She did not care about his boss’s face nor about her own image at all. In the end, she became known as a jealous person.

The boss’s eligibility was obvious even though the female employees they fired did have inappropriate thoughts. This was unavoidable. As the young madam of the Huo family, it was really embarrassing for her to be so petty.

It was obvious that she was good to her boss, but she was so good that it was a little perverted and she was looked down upon.

This was also the reason why the big boss had taken a fancy to her back then. He felt that she was the only woman who truly loved the boss.

What the Huo family needed was this role.

Thinking about it, Han Chi did not understand what his boss meant.

“I mean, don’t you think she’s very suitable to be Huo Yuan’s mother?” Huo Ce muttered, as if he was asking Han Chi or himself.

Han Chi resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

“Son, you want to bring Wanwan and Huo Yuan to Coconut City? I want to go too!” Lin Lang pushed the door open and barged in.

Huo Ce was stunned for a moment. He had asked Ning Wan to go with him on the spur of the moment. He was a little anxious and could not take it if his mother went along. He knew his mother very well.

His business meetings could turn into a vacation instead with his mother around.

He took a deep breath. “Mom, the partner I’m working with this time values the stability of the partner’s family. That’s why I brought Ning Wan and Huo Yuan along. The schedule is especially tight and it’s very tough. I’m afraid your body won’t be able to take it.”

“Why can’t I? If Wanwan can take it, so can I! I can’t be separated from Wanwan! I can’t even eat without Wanwan!” Lin Lang completely refused to accept this reason.

Huo Ce was speechless. What did that woman do? How could she make his mother and Huo Yuan so inseparable from her?

Lin Lang burst out laughing seeing his son’s helpless expression. She turned around and looked at Han Chi, who was standing at the side like a “statue”. She pulled Huo Ce’s sleeve and lowered her voice. “It’s fine if I don’t go, but you have to promise me something!”

“Alright, go ahead,” Huo Ce replied, preparing to give her a bank card.

However, Lin Lang said, “Take advantage of this trip to change your mood and get Wanwan to give me a little grandson!”

Boom! It was like a thunderclap exploded in Huo Ce’s ears. The corners of Han Chi’s eyes twitched and he almost choked on his saliva. The two of them looked at Lin Lang in disbelief.

Lin Lang stood on her tiptoes proudly and patted her son’s shoulder. “It’s settled then. See how I deal with you if you don’t do it!”

She turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and warned her dumbfounded son, “Don’t tell Wanwan that I pressured you. I kept telling her that it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have a child. It’s very difficult for her to get pregnant if she’s under pressure, understand? Silly son?”

“Cough, cough, cough—” Huo Ce choked and coughed for no reason after Lin Lang closed the door.

Han Chi almost bit his tongue holding back his laughter.
