The Huo residence.
Receiving Pei Yushen's call was like taking a reassuring pill. The little dumpling, who had drifted in dejectedly, suddenly became the center of attention as she strode out of the room with high spirits.
Seeing Miss Chaochao's refreshed appearance, the servants whispered in surprise, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Miss Chaochao has cheered up.
In a great mood, Chaochao hummed a little tune as she went upstairs to wash up. Holding her little toothbrush, her mouth full of foam, she seemed to be asking with a touch of sentimentality, "Daddy, when was the last time you..."
She tilted her head and looked at Huo Qin, who was sitting on the sofa.
Huo Qin paused briefly with his pen, the nib tapping the paper. "Does getting up in the morning to go to work count?"
"No garlic, no garlic, of course not garlic!" Chaochao shook her head, spitting out little bubbles in her mouth anxiously. "I want the kind that we won't see for a long time..."
Huo Qin pondered for a moment and said, "We sent one away a year ago, and we probably won't see him for another twenty years."
"Ah..." Chaochao's mouth gaped open, revealing a surprised little expression. "That will be a very, very long time, Daddy, aren't you worried?"
Twenty years, that's definitely longer than her fifteen years. She's old enough to drink alcohol by now, and Daddy still hasn't seen that person.
"Don't worry, he's doing well, he has food and drink."
"That's what Huo Qin said casually."
I overheard other CEOs chatting last time, and one of Huo's former rivals was so tired in jail that he practically wore out his sewing machine.
After Chaochao finished brushing her teeth, Huo Qin looked up at her and asked, "Did Pei Yushen call you?"
Chaochao puffed out her cheeks and nodded at him with a "glug glug" sound. After spitting out the mouthwash and wiping her mouth, she said excitedly, "Yes, yes! Just now... uh! Daddy, how did you know!"
She hasn't told anyone yet!
Huo Qin knew, of course. He knew that Pei Yushen had asked the old man for Chaochao's number, and that he had also turned off the unknown call rejection mode on Chaochao's smartwatch.
Huo Qin replied calmly, "I guessed."
After all, he didn't know when Pei Yushen would call, but he knew from the little dumpling's suddenly relaxed expression.
Chaochao, who blindly trusts her father, first showered him with compliments, then suddenly remembered something urgent. She ran to the bedside table, picked up her little watch, and pointed at it: "Oh dear, I haven't saved Yushen's phone number yet!"
At the same time, a slight sense of melancholy washed over me: "I don't even know when I'll see Brother Yushen again..."
Huo Qin raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a calm voice, "You want to see him?"
While staring at her watch screen, Chaochao nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course I want to see him! I just don't know where he is..."
She should wait for her brother Yu Shen to come back and find her.
Anyway, I already have their phone numbers, lalala~~
Huo Qin lowered his eyes thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Then, right after lunch the next day, Chaochao arrived at the inpatient department of Songhe Hospital, looking completely bewildered.
Songhe Hospital is a top-tier tertiary hospital in City B and a private hospital wholly owned by the Huo family.
Chaochao stood blankly at the door of the VIP ward, her little hand instinctively taking the bag handed to her by the bodyguard. After lunch, Huo Qin said he would take her to see Pei Yushen, and Chaochao quickly packed her things and rushed over. It seemed like they arrived at the hospital in the blink of an eye; the little dumpling's mind hadn't caught up with her body yet, and she was still in a daze.
She thought her little brother was in a very, very far place.
Huo Qin didn't come to the hospital; it was Old Master Huo who came.
The old man bent down and patted the little boy's shoulder, "Go in, it's inside."
The warm-toned wooden door to the ward was pushed open.
Pei Yushen, lying in his hospital bed, had already caught a glimpse of Old Master Huo's face through the observation window of the room, though he didn't know why they had come.
He turned his head indifferently, his calm gaze pausing when he saw the little dumpling entering the room.
As always, Chaochao wore her hair in two little pigtails, dressed in a floral three-quarter sleeve top and mint green corduroy overalls, carrying a woven bag in her two little hands, and peeking into the room with a chubby face.
Upon seeing that the person leaning against the bed was none other than Pei Yushen, Chaochao's almond-shaped eyes lit up instantly. Clutching her bag, she ran over with small, quick steps, exclaiming, "Brother Yushen, Chaochao's here to see you!!!"
Pei Yushen's stunned eyes finally moved, and he propped himself up to sit up. "You...your grandfather brought you here?"
He originally wanted to ask why you came, but after realizing it was a pointless question, he changed his answer, but it still seemed like a pointless question.
Chaochao stood by the bed and nodded vigorously, her almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents. "Yes, yes, they said they would bring me to see Brother Yushen!"
I didn't expect her to be the first to approach the young man! She's such a good girl, hehe.
Pei Yushen calmly placed the candy in his hand on the bedside table. He raised his hand to stroke the little dumpling's fluffy hair and smiled gently, "Thank you for coming to see me."
After peering through the small glass window for a while, Old Master Huo turned his gaze to the two bodyguards by the door and said in a deep voice, "You two stay here."
Xu Sheng, who was standing nearby, received the signal and led Old Master Huo toward the elevator, whispering, "Don't worry, Grandpa, everything has been arranged."
Old Master Huo, showing no outward sign of joy or displeasure, nodded casually.
