So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

Huo Shen was immediately amused by her words.

He stood up briskly, and was about to say that he was going to the bathroom again, but Xie Junfei grabbed his hand.

The girl was wearing a nightgown he had just bought; the soft pink fabric made her look like a dumpling.

She was a little shy before she even spoke, and he waited patiently for a long time before finally hearing the girl stammer out a sentence:

"Uncle Huo, do you need my help?"

"I've learned so many things lately, I can even use my feet instead of my hands..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man abruptly stood up, his voice laced with a hint of gritted teeth:

"Who taught you this?"

"Wait until I get back and deal with you."

After saying that, he strode off to the bathroom as if some raging monster was chasing after him.

Watching his departing figure, Xie Junfei angrily punched the bed.

They say that a life of pleasure is a hero's grave, but why doesn't Huo Shen fall for that?

If he falls for that, she'll definitely be able to extract something from him through "torture"!

At that time, she held all his most important leverage over him.

If he dares to lie, Xie Junfei is determined to take half the old man's life!

Before, the way he looked at me was like he wanted to devour me.

Now that it's real combat, he's the first to desert and run away!

I'm so angry!

Thinking of this, she simply grabbed all the blankets and pulled them to her side, then grabbed one side of the blanket and rolled around on the wide bed, turning herself into a seaweed rice roll.

When Huo Shen returned, there was only a pink blanket on the bed.

Only the little girl's head was sticking out, her long, black hair cascading like clouds onto the pink pillow, smelling sweet and beautiful.

Seeing Xie Junfei's adorable appearance, Huo Shen felt his heart melt.

Regardless of whether she had gone astray, he took two steps to the bedside, then dug the little girl out of the blankets and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Xie Junfei's eyes widened, and she pushed him with all her might:

"Didn't you say you didn't want it? Why are you hugging me now?"

"Get out of here! You're not allowed to sleep in the bed tonight! There's no place for you on the bed!"

After saying that, the little girl twisted and turned, trying to get off the man.

To everyone's surprise, Huo Shen held her exceptionally tightly, one strong arm gripping her chest and holding her close in his arms.

No matter how much she struggled from the waist down, her upper body remained unmoved.

After struggling for a while, Xie Junfei got tired and simply stopped struggling, collapsing into his arms like a cat that had just finished parkour.

As expected of the man I've set my sights on, he's got real strength.

Seeing that the little girl had stopped moving, the man assumed she had had enough fun, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Then he reached out his other hand and pulled her onto his lap, making her sit on his back.

Xie Junfei wrapped her arms around his neck and touched the cheek of the man she had slapped earlier at Lishui Tower:

"Does it still hurt?"

Huo Shen shook his head, cupped his small hands in front of his chest:

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"If you're in a bad mood, hit me a couple more times to vent your anger."

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei was surprised.

People in high positions of power always value their authority highly.

A slap is different from a fist.

If a fist represents a contest between equals, then a slap represents the superior humiliating the inferior.

Xie Junfei used to slap the Qin family members.

After all, for those young masters and ladies who have held high positions for a long time, slapping them in public is far more damaging to their dignity than physical humiliation.

She, a young girl, already understood this principle, let alone Huo Shen.

Such a promise is tantamount to Huo Shen taking a step back and kneeling on one knee in this intimate relationship, willingly becoming the subordinate.

She raised her beautiful almond-shaped eyes to look at the man in front of her, and for the first time began to doubt her own judgment.

Perhaps Huo Shen's feelings for that girl were simply a senior's way of mentoring a junior?

Before she had even investigated the facts, she had rashly lost her temper and attacked Huo Shen, but Huo Shen accepted it completely and even comforted her instead.

Looking at it this way, I realize I was being a bit unreasonable.

People often say that concern leads to confusion, and I've truly fallen for him, which is why I was so anxious after hearing the news.

Thinking of this, Xie Junfei immediately felt a little guilty towards the man, and turned her face to rub against his neck:

"Uncle Huo, why are you so good to me?"

Huo Shen watched as the girl, who had been acting awkwardly all night, finally came to her senses, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her dark hair, looking extremely tender.

Then, the man's deep, pleasant voice whispered in her ear:

"because I love you."

It snowed all night in Beijing, but No. 6 Jasmine South Street remained warm and cozy.

The next day was the weekend, and the man slept in, which was rare for him.

When he woke up, his little girl was sleeping soundly in his arms.

The girl's fair face was flushed pink from being warmed by the blankets, and her lips looked as soft as peach blossoms.

Feeling the warm human heater in her arms move away from her, Xie Junfei hugged the man tightly and pressed him back onto the bed.

The morning is a high-risk time, and Xie Junfei's sleeping posture is not good, so the hem of her nightgown had already been lifted up to her waist.

She clung to the man warming the bed like an octopus, her soft belly pressed tightly against his waist.

From Huo Shen's vantage point, the nightgown couldn't possibly conceal the full splendor of spring.

He took several deep breaths, trying to separate Xie Junfei from himself.

After Xie Junfei slept in late and got up to wash, she found the bathroom damp. Just then, Huo Shen brought breakfast into the room, and she asked him with her face covered in foam:

"Do you have OCD? Why do you shower again in the morning after showering at night?"

Huo Shen lied without batting an eye:

"Taking multiple showers shows that I'm clean, and clean men are healthy."

Xie Junfei was clearly dissatisfied with the answer and rolled her eyes at the man.

By the time she finished washing up, Huo Shen had just finished heating up her milk.

The man was still wearing the pink apron that Zhang Ma often wore. Before he could take it off, he saw his little girl secretly sticking out two fingers, trying to pick the lettuce out of the sandwich.

Huo Shen instantly felt as if facing a formidable enemy:

"No picky eating! A balanced diet is essential for growth!"

"Put the lettuce back and eat your meal properly."

Xie Junfei pursed her lips and reluctantly stuffed the vegetable leaves back into the sandwich.

As Huo Shen watched the little girl with her chubby cheeks chewing her breakfast, he even felt for a moment that he was raising a daughter...

However, looking at the girl wearing a pink nightgown and with her hair sticking up,

Huo Shen sighed and resignedly found a comb in the bathroom.

Then he stood behind Xie Junfei and braided his little girl's hair.

Oh no, this feels more like raising a daughter.
