Chapter 897: Her First Kiss is Mine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She lowered her head, kissed lightly on her daughter’s lips, and grinned widely.

“Your first kiss is mine.”

Huo Yunting leisurely stepped into the room and eyed her incredulously. “Dream on. Her first kiss was with me yesterday.”

!!

Lu Zhaoyang was furious. She was about to chastise him for being so shameless when little Huo Ren reached an arm out, caught a loose strand of her hair and put it in her mouth.

Lu Zhaoyang immediately pried her hand open to loosen her grasp and kissed her again.

“Renren, be nice.”

Little Huo Ren pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry.

Huo Yunting saw his wife panic and quickly took their daughter from her arms.

Little Huo Ren broke into a smile again and reached her arms up to stroke his chin.

That put a smile on Huo Yunting’s face, but also made Lu Zhaoyang jealous.

She did not mind Huo Yunting, but the fact that her daughter preferred someone that was not her was annoying.

Very, very annoying!

Since the little infant was too fragile, she had to stay in the incubator.

Both Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting loved her very much and felt sorry for her condition.

Their hearts melted whenever they visited their daughter together to the point where Xuxu was occasionally neglected.

Fortunately, the boy had matured. Moreover, Lu Zhaoyang had always taught him to be a responsible brother to his sister, so he did not feel offended.

Instead, he felt sorry for his younger sister every time he visited her.

The infant girl had to be incubated for at least another month, so Lu Zhaoyang continued to stay in the hospital.

On the other hand, Huo Yunting travelled between the hospital and his office daily.

One day, he stepped out of the hospital to see Huo Chen’s car waiting for him. The man seemed to be in a gloomy mood.

“Get in.”

Huo Yunting opened the car door and sat down beside him.

“You have news?”

“Yes.”

Huo Chen nodded grimly.

“Something is stirring in the capital recently, although it may not be obvious at first. I hired people to investigate and found that an unknown power is invading the capital. They are attempting to reach out and collaborate with the local powers to secure a position in the capital.”

Huo Yunting clicked his tongue and looked vaguely amused.

“What a coincidence.”

“Hmm?”

“Three days ago, someone was also stirring the pot in the city.”

Huo Yunting paused before adding, “It’s called Jin Financial or something, hailing all the way from France. It is a cash-rich organization that managed to connect with all the right people in a very short time. It even won the bid for a project against Thunderbolt Corp.”

He sounded equal parts impressed and sarcastic.

Jin?

Is this Xiang Jinxi’s way of announcing his return?

What a joke.

He had chased the man out of the country before, and he could do it again.

Thunderbolt Corp was headquartered in the city. However, since Lu Zhaoyang came to the capital to attend a wedding and gave birth after that, he s.h.i.+fted the company’s main functions to their branch office in the capital. Most of the matters back in headquarters were managed remotely.

Huo Chen looked thoughtful.

“I see that they are coordinating an attack both covertly and overtly against you.”

Huo Yunting tossed his lighter up and down meditationally.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled thinly. When he chuckled, it sounded almost chilling.

“I have waited for him for so long.”

Huo Chen studied the man and promptly made his decision. “Leave the Bruce family to me. As for Xiang Jinxi…”

He paused before continuing reluctantly, “I’ll leave him to you.”
