Chapter 85

The tense atmosphere, on the verge of becoming anxious, relaxed under this lie, and the previously stagnant air began to flow again. Huo Youqiao took a step back and resumed his usual composed expression. “Yes, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson about his philandering ways, and I won’t let you suffer any more injustices.”

Ye Zhi joked back, “Is this also part of the employee benefits?”

Their eyes met, both showing a sense of relief, but none of their smiles reached their eyes.

Huo Youqiao said, “This is the concern of family members.”

Taking care of a child who had already started kindergarten wasn’t tiring at all, especially since Huo Ran was well-behaved, could bathe herself, and even helped with some minor household chores like peeling garlic. Ye Zhi didn’t feel tired. Moreover, the Huo family had advanced appliances, with a robot specifically for cleaning, and even deliveries of groceries and daily necessities. Ye Zhi only needed to place orders online, so he had much more free time compared to working in the office.

And as for “taking care” of Huo Youqiao, he only needed to iron his shirts and coats and tidy up his closet a bit. He didn’t even need to prepare breakfast or dinner for him when he was on a business trip.

After that night, Huo Youqiao had been away on a business trip for five days.

This time, it was an interstellar trip, so it would last a bit longer. And it just so happened that this period of time could buffer Ye Zhi’s mood.

Being confessed to and then quickly denied wasn’t easy for Ye Zhi. The feeling of getting something and then losing it was much more disappointing than never having it at all. Everything that happened that night, he couldn’t help but replay it in his mind during his free time, repeating every detail over and over again. He wanted to find something, anything, but couldn’t come to a reasonable conclusion.

Huo Youqiao wasn’t someone who played games, he knew that in his heart.

But a drunk person couldn’t be judged by their usual character, and that’s where Ye Zhi was conflicted.

What Ye Zhi cared about the most was how much he wanted to confirm whether he had really been “accepted.”

Did Huo Youqiao really have a slight liking for him?

However, despite his twisted feelings, Ye Zhi didn’t neglect taking care of Huo Ran. Under his care, the little girl smiled more, even willingly attended the interest classes she didn’t like before, simply because he accompanied her. When her father wasn’t at home, she even asked Ye Zhi to sleep with her, citing that she was a little scared.

Although Ye Zhi was already married and played the role of a “wife,” he was still a male, so he asked for Huo Youqiao’s permission first before sleeping with the little girl.

Huo Ran was overjoyed and danced on the bed in her pajamas, excitedly singing. Since they would have a performance at the kindergarten’s art show in a while, their senior class children were going to perform a dance routine. Huo Ran was learning dance, and she sang well, so she was selected to be in the center.

Because she wasn’t proficient yet, she also practiced at home, and Ye Zhi accompanied her.

The music was playing loudly, and the children dressed as little rabbit dolls were bouncing around together. Because it was a children’s song, the dance moves weren’t complicated, but even Ye Zhi, who had never danced before, found it a bit difficult.

He was actually quite embarrassed at first, with stiff hands and feet, afraid to move. It was only Huo Ran’s infectious enthusiasm that made him relax.

The volume was loud, the scene was too joyful, they didn’t even notice someone coming back. Huo Youcheng had the opportunity to see another side of Ye Zhi.

The last time they met, the change in Ye Zhi was surprising enough, and seeing his smile now felt strange. He actually wanted to come back for days, but was held back by his little lover. When the other party finally made him impatient, he cut ties decisively, and only then did he have the opportunity to come back.

But he didn’t expect to see Ye Zhi in this state when he returned.
