An Wuyang whimpered in a daze and confessed.
The cramped, dim carriage was filled with a faint, unusual smell, but it wasn’t particularly serious yet.
He grabbed Huo Yunchuan’s clothes with both hands. Due to the force, his slender fingers were tense, and his knuckles turned white, making him appear especially emotional.
An Wuyang’s light blue checkered shirt was perfectly intact, without a single wrinkle. Only the hem was carefully rolled up and the two ends were tied tightly together.
There was no other way.
This was a shirt that the little angel really liked.
It looked particularly youthful and handsome on him, and he wore it at least twice a week, so it couldn’t get dirty.
With a sobbing voice, he asked in a muffled tone, “Are you done yet?”
Huo Yunchuan’s voice was hoarse and low as he replied, “Almost.”
“……”
That line again!
After being deceived so many times, it was never finished on time.
The boy, with red-rimmed eyes, angrily tugged a handful of the other’s hair and accused, “Big liar…” Then he bit the liar’s ear, humming and enduring it.
He didn’t know how much time passed, but An Wuyang felt a muffled sound from the head he was holding.
He got distracted and couldn’t control his bite…
“Hiss…” Huo Yunchuan’s ear stung sharply; that little bit of stimulation was really going to kill him.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” An Wuyang apologized, his face flushed, with a hint of tears in his eyes. “Let me rub it for you.”
The boy lifted his hand to rub Huo’s ear.
The man, released and relaxed, sat quietly for a while, then fumbled for a wet wipe to clean up. Since having a son, Huo Yunchuan’s skills and techniques in these tasks had improved significantly… all practiced on his son.
An Wuyang shyly dressed, grumbling about the air inside the car, his face hot, “The smell is so strong, let’s get out of the car quickly.”
He then opened the car door and got out, his movements inevitably a bit clumsy, not as nimble as usual.
Huo Yunchuan locked the car and adjusted his clothes as he walked. His long legs, wrapped in suit pants, caught up to the slowly walking boy in just a few steps.
Today, he wasn’t wearing a tie, and the three unbuttoned buttons at the collar made him look particularly bold.
A long arm wrapped around An Wuyang’s waist, and a gentle concern came as expected, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
An Wuyang paused, then shook his head, “No, I’m just a bit sleepy.” He usually took a nap at this time, but today’s outing disrupted his routine.
He yawned and leaned lightly against Huo Yunchuan in the elevator, making it much easier.
A middle-aged man who entered the elevator with them eyed them suspiciously, then gave Huo Yunchuan a disdainful look.
Huo Yunchuan frowned, holding his little angel tighter, and said in a devilish tone, “We are legal partners, please don’t let your mind wander.”
An Wuyang opened his eyes, sleepily glanced at the embarrassed man, then looked down at his own checkered shirt and white shorts.
He turned his head to look at the mature, charming, and handsome CEO next to him…
Indeed, with such different styles, the age gap seemed quite noticeable.
On the eleventh floor, the embarrassed man hurriedly rushed out as soon as the door opened.
Huo Yunchuan, who preferred living in high-rise buildings, glanced at the closed elevator door and snorted lightly, “Narrow-minded.”
An Wuyang, always following Huo’s lead, nodded in agreement, “Exactly.”
For some reason, Huo Yunchuan’s mood visibly improved, his eyebrows lifted with a hint of joy, and he couldn’t help but touch his little angel’s face, “You were very good today.”
Recalling the intimate moments in the car, Huo Yunchuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
His little angel wasn’t just good; he was also a bit playful.
An Wuyang received this praise unexpectedly. Although he felt that the word “good” didn’t quite suit him, he chose to be very forgiving and didn’t argue.
They soon reached the twenty-fifth floor.
Back home, An Wuyang dragged his exhausted body, forcing himself to take a shower.
Yawning, he then headed to the big bed and slept soundly for the entire afternoon.
When he woke up, the phone screen showed 4:40 PM, startling An Wuyang.
He quickly got up, washed his face in the bathroom, and then hurriedly found his backpack to complete his study tasks.
An Wuyang’s daily tasks now included English dictation, reviewing professional courses, completing his reading plan, and doing reading comprehension.
He carefully read the book Huo Yunchuan had chosen for him—*Sophie’s World*. An Wu Yang tried his best to understand it, and whenever he encountered something he didn’t understand, he immediately took out his phone and searched online.
…Even though he didn’t always understand the answers he found.
Studying for about an hour at a time inevitably made An Wuyang a bit restless.
He turned on some light music, sneakily grabbed a snack from the fridge, and returned to his bedroom, opening the package…
“Studying?” Huo Yunchuan’s voice suddenly appeared.
An Wuyang glanced down at his snack. Thankfully, facing away from the door saved him.
“Uh… yeah.” His throat had been a bit uncomfortable lately, so Huo Yunchuan had forbidden him from eating hot snacks.
“Come out and eat.” Huo Yunchuan suggested.
An Wuyang glanced again at the open package, quietly gathered it up and stuffed it under his books. “Oh.”
As a man with cleanliness tendencies, Huo Yunchuan immediately tidied up the messy desk for his little angel without hesitation.
Just as he picked up the open professional book, a crispy biscuit with seaweed flavor peeked out from underneath the books…
Huo Yunchuan: “…”
He remembered these childish yet mini-shaped biscuits—last time they traveled abroad, his little angel had packed them into the suitcase with determination.
Were they really that delicious?
Huo Yunchuan’s deep gaze lingered on the bag of crispy biscuits for quite some time.
After careful consideration, he picked up the bag, used his fingers to open the packaging, and took out a piece.
An Wuyang, looking horrified, hid by the doorway, wide-eyed as his hidden biscuits were effortlessly discovered by Huo Yunchuan.
Even more shocking was that Huo Yunchuan actually ate one.
An Wuyang felt his heart sink because he knew how delicious those were!
“Wu Yang, it’s time for dinner,” Aunt Zhang looked up and saw him. “Hey, what are you hiding here for? Where’s Mr. Huo?”
Inside the house, Huo Yunchuan heard the commotion and came out with the little angel’s biscuits in his hand.
“Mr. Huo, it’s almost dinner time. Are you snacking now?” Aunt Zhang noticed what he held and immediately lectured, “Don’t eat too many fried snacks, they’re not nutritious, you know?”
Chastised, Huo Yunchuan calmly glanced at the blushing little angel and took responsibility, “You’re right.” Then, in front of both of them, he opened the trash can lid and threw away the biscuits.
An Wuyang: “……”!!
Not even one piece eaten!
They say people become more hypocritical as they grow older, often putting on masks, with one set of thoughts inside and another on the surface.
At this moment, An Wuyang felt the sting of regret but showed indifference on the surface.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat,” he sat down to have his meal, comforting himself, “It’s okay. I threw away a pack of seaweed-flavored biscuits, but there are still milk-flavored, strawberry-flavored, caramel-flavored, and even barbecue-flavored biscuits in the fridge.”
He planned to take them to school on Monday or openly eat them when Huo Yunchuan went out for work.
“Those in the fridge are also thrown away,” Huo Yunchuan informed, facing Aunt Zhang.
“Oh, um?” Aunt Zhang, belatedly realizing whose snacks were in the fridge, immediately looked at An Wuyang with apologetic eyes.
An Wuyang felt like he couldn’t keep up his facade any longer.
Huo Yunchuan finally saw An Wuyang’s change of expression, and a perverse satisfaction rose in his heart, a feeling no less than having an intimate moment with his little angel.
“Wu Yang, what’s your opinion?” Huo Yunchuan glanced at him. “After all, those are your snacks.”
An Wuyang, torn between not wanting to give up the delicious treats in the fridge and fearing Huo Yunchuan’s authority, pondered carefully, “My opinion is… not to throw them away.”
Suppressing the flutter in his heart, Huo Yunchuan unexpectedly replied, “Okay, we won’t throw them away.”
The cute little heart trembled slightly, feeling like an excited deer in his chest.
Aunt Zhang, who was dumbfounded, murmured to herself, “…Mr. Huo’s actions are really puzzling.”
Later that night, a sudden realization struck Aunt Zhang as she lay in bed. Mr. Huo was simply teasing their silly Wuyang.
In any case, the crisis of the various flavored biscuits was averted, and they continued to be An Wuyang’s occasional snack.
On Sunday, Grandpa Huo called his eldest grandson, muttering about wanting to see his son-in-law and great-grandson.
His dutiful grandson readily agreed without hesitation.
Then, he started a video call with his grandfather. “You can chat with them slowly.”
“!! You little rascal! I meant bring them home, not video chat!” Grandpa Huo was exasperated.
On the other end, Huo Yunchuan calmly explained, “Bring them home? That’s not possible.” Despite his grandfather’s vigorous complaints and how much he missed An Wuyang and Dun Dun, Huo Yunchuan remained cool and rational. “I visited Grandpa and Grandma yesterday, and today they can’t leave the house.”
An Wuyang leaned over and saw Grandpa, immediately smiling and greeting, “Grandpa, good weekend.”
With his sweet smile and twinkling eyes, An Wuyang’s greeting instantly calmed Grandpa Huo’s irritable mood.
The old man’s face and voice made a complete 360-degree turn, smiling even brighter than the weekend sun. “Wu Yang, did you visit Grandma and Grandpa yesterday?”
An Wuyang: “Yes.”
Grandpa Huo: “After a busy day like that, rest well today, alright?”
An Wu Yang: “Mm, you too. It’s autumn now, take care of yourself.” And also, “We’re not going back this weekend. Please give my regards to Mom and Dad.”
“Well, our Wuyang is really obedient,” Grandpa Huo said, his face full of kindness.
Huo Yunchuan wondered, Why should he be obedient?
