As soon as Manager Qian finished speaking, the surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing. He looked up to see Third Master Huo staring at him with a thunderous expression.
"Th-Third Master..." Manager Qian was on the verge of tears. What did I say wrong this time?
The saying "a ruler's mind is unfathomable" was absolutely true. Facing the temperamental Third Master Huo, he felt he’d develop heart problems sooner or later.
An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly rose in Huo Tingyan’s heart.
He’d only been gone for one morning, yet that ungrateful little girl had already forgotten him—not even a single phone call. She clearly didn’t miss him at all!
If this continued, would he even have a place in the little girl’s heart?
Third Master Huo’s expression tightened, feeling his position was perilously unstable.
He suddenly began to regret his decision. Sending the little girl to the Huo family seemed like a mistake.
After all, in that household, everyone wanted to snatch his daughter—especially that shameless Second Brother and the secretly scheming Eldest Brother.
Those two couldn’t have daughters themselves, so they spent all day coveting other people’s little girls!
The more Third Master Huo thought about it, the more restless he became. His expression was grave, as if facing an extremely thorny problem.
Was it too late to bring the little girl back home now?
Unfortunately, what Third Master Huo never anticipated was that, after painstakingly guarding against the wolves within his family in the future, a wild wolf from outside would seize the opportunity to snatch away his soft, adorable daughter.
...
"Meeting adjourned!" Huo Tingyan abruptly stood up. Ignoring his subordinates' thoughts, he turned and strode out.
No, I need to keep the little girl under my watchful eye to feel at ease.
The moment Huo Tingyan left, the previously silent conference room instantly buzzed with activity.
Employees crowded around Assistant Chen, their eyes gleaming with gossip.
"Assistant Chen, what did Third Master mean just now?"
"Has Third Master finally blossomed like an iron tree, wanting to marry and have children?"
"Ahhh! I volunteer! Ever since I joined the Huo Corporation, I’ve been prepared for this! I’m willing to dedicate my life to Third Master!"
"You must be dreaming! Even if Third Master wants to marry, the partner should be me! A fortune teller said I’m destined to have no sons but three daughters. Know what that means? It means I’m the most suitable candidate to be the Huo family’s daughter-in-law!"
Assistant Chen adjusted his glasses, smiling innocently. "Since you all seem so free, how about staying late to work overtime tonight?" As soon as these words were spoken, the employees surrounding him scattered like startled birds, disappearing in no time.
"Gotta go, gotta go..."
"Farewell!"
Assistant Chen curled his lips in a disdainful smirk. "Heh."
Does Third Master need you to bear him a daughter?
Even if you did give birth, could your child possibly be as adorable as Miss Luoluo?
Do you really think any random little girl could replace Miss Luoluo?
You clearly have no sense of self-awareness!
...
"Achoo!" Su Luo sneezed three times in a row. Rubbing her nose, she couldn’t help but wonder: Who’s secretly missing me?
Before the little girl could figure it out, she saw the person she least wanted to encounter.
The moment Su Luo spotted Huo Tianlin, she puffed out her cheeks like an angry little steamed bun and turned her face away stubbornly.
"Hmph!"
Clearly, the little girl was still upset about what happened earlier.
"Walk faster!" Huo Zhenchuan glowered, prodding him forward like urging a duck.
Huo Tianlin shuffled reluctantly towards Su Luo and spoke slowly, "Hey, you there—"Before he could finish, Huo Zhenchuan smacked the back of his head. "Hey what hey! This is your sister!"
Huo Tianlin hugged his head, aggrieved. Finally subdued, he spoke meekly: "Sister Luoluo, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
