chapter 7

“Huo Mingchen.”

A deep, magnetic male voice suddenly rang out.

Both Huo Mingchen and I were startled.

When we saw Huo Yu standing at the doorway, he flinched.

Tears were threatening to fall, his expression was blank-pitiful yet adorable.

“Daddy, why are you back?”

I also felt a bit guilty.

Did he hear our entire conversation just now?

Huo Yu had refined features, but he was usually stern and unsmiling.

At this moment, his brows were slightly furrowed, making his demeanor even colder.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were being bullied at school?”

Huo Mingchen abruptly looked up, staring at me in disbelief.

“You told Daddy?”

I realized what he meant and quickly waved my hands.

“It wasn’t me!”

But he clearly didn’t believe me.

His eyes turned red again, looking as if his trust had been betrayed.

“You betrayed me!”

“We pinky-swore, I’m never talking to you again!”

With that, he shook off my hand and stomped back to his room.

Click.

He even locked the door from the inside.

Me: !!!

Who am I supposed to reason with now?

But even the butler didn’t know about this.

The kindergarten was at fault, so they definitely wouldn’t have told him.

How did Huo Yu find out?

For a moment, I started doubting myself.

I slowly turned to meet his gaze.

“Um, are you sure it wasn’t me who told you?”

My memory really isn’t that great.

Huo Yu: “……”

He looked at me steadily.

For some reason, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

“It probably wasn’t.”

“Is it possible that I found out myself?”

That’s possible.

After all, he’s a domineering CEO.

I let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing him still standing there, I couldn’t help but get annoyed.

“Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and explain to your son that it wasn’t me who told!”

It’s already annoying enough to be misunderstood.

Huo Yu’s eyelid twitched.

“…Got it.”
