So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Chu Yu: "..."

She glared at him, annoyed.

The man chuckled softly, his breath hot against his skin. "My fault."

He turned his head and kissed her soft cheek. "It's because I kissed you so sweetly that you couldn't help but cry out..."

!!!

How could he say such a shameless thing without batting an eye?

Huo Zheng lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, with both hands behind his back to separate her from the cold door panel.

"baby?"

The little girl lowered her long eyelashes and ignored him.

Because of the height difference, he couldn't see the expression on her face even with his head down.

He simply bent down, scooped up her thighs, and lifted her onto his waist, so that the two of them could finally look at each other at eye level.

Caught off guard by being lifted so high, Chu Yu instinctively wrapped her arms around the man's neck and her legs tightly around him to avoid falling.

"Be good, little one, be gentle."

The man's voice was low and husky, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself. While speaking, he also reached out and patted her leg as a gesture of acknowledgment.

Chu Yu, worried about falling, carefully loosened her grip a little, muttering under her breath, "Then why don't you put me down..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Zheng grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her urgently again.

This kiss was more forceful, more intense and passionate than before, filled with an irresistible possessiveness, wantonly plundering and ravaging her lips and teeth...

Huo Cheng knew that this door was well soundproofed, and since no one answered after knocking for a long time, he raised his hand and pressed the intercom doorbell next to it.

Inside the room separated by a door, the two were leaning against the door, kissing passionately.

Huo Cheng's voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Brother! Open the door for me!"

This doorbell is used by Huo Zheng's secretary and assistant when they report his schedule to him outside the door. Huo Zheng's desk is at the very back of the office.

They were right at the door, and the sound of the doorbell came through clearly and loudly.

Chu Yu trembled in fright and accidentally bit the man's lip, causing blood to gush out instantly. Combined with his dazed expression and the redness in his eyes, she exuded a bewitching and seductive charm.

She was so stunned that she didn't even hear what he was saying.

"Xiaobao?"

"Ok?"

Huo Zheng smiled somewhat helplessly. As expected of his little darling, he could even get distracted at a time like this.

However, he was also glad that her attention wasn't on him, otherwise she would have easily noticed his change.

Should we let him in or not?

"ask me?"

"Yes, I'll do whatever the boss lady says."

"..."

She didn't speak, and Huo Zheng wasn't in a hurry either. He just calmly held her and stood by the door.

The two were deeply in love, oblivious to the life or death of those outside.

"Huo Zheng".

"what happened, Babe?"

"I'm hungry."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man immediately dropped his lazy expression, picked up the person, and quickly walked back to his office chair to sit down.

He took out his phone with one hand, sent a message, and then looked at the little girl in his arms.

Chu Yu felt a little intimidated by his gaze. Even though the wound on her lip where she had bitten it was still bright red, it did not diminish his cold and aloof demeanor.

Since they met, Huo Zheng has never been fierce to her, not even with a stern face.

So all he had to do was slightly suppress his gentle expression, and that was enough to make her tremble with fear.

Huo Zheng knew that his usual serious and cold demeanor would frighten her, so even when he was angry, he never showed a stern face in front of her.

The little girl in his arms knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and dared not look him in the eye.

The man paused for a few seconds, but ultimately couldn't bear to be angry with her. He sighed softly and slowly said, "Xiao Bao has been watching TV ever since I left?"

Her little head remained lowered, and she nodded slightly, responding with a barely audible "Mmm~"

Have you had enough cookies?

"I've had enough to eat."

"Have you finished your little milk tea?"

"Finished."

"..."

Chu Yu then realized that she had blurted out the whole truth in her nervousness. She timidly looked up and tugged at his sleeve. "This is the last time, I promise!"

A good partner can always teach you something from them.

For example, sliding on your knees.

This was the first time Huo Zheng had seen the little girl admit her mistake so readily. He was both angry and amused, but ultimately couldn't bear to scold her too much.

"I just had my assistant order food from Huaxi Mansion. It'll be here soon. Be a good boy and eat your meal in a bit."

He never restricted her from eating any snacks, not even those he considered "junk food".

Even a simple snack can bring instant satisfaction and happiness, which is the most precious thing.

So within reasonable limits, he never restricted her from eating those "small garbage" and "dirty stalls," and he was even willing to accompany her to check out all sorts of newly discovered hidden gem shops.

This is why Chu Yu was so good at admitting her mistake.

Huo Zheng's love is always accompanied by respect and tolerance. He is extremely possessive, but he will not restrict her clothing in any way. She can wear any dress she likes, and he will always prepare a warm coat for her.

He taught her many lessons and took meticulous care of her.

Yet it had absolutely no preachy tone or greasy fatherly air.

She often wondered how strong a core of strength a calm and gentle person must have to be to maintain such composure and gentleness.

Chu Yu didn't realize that she had unconsciously voiced her thoughts.

The man was taken aback at first, then raised his hand to stroke her face, lifting her head to look at him.

“People are different and there is no comparison between them. People with stable cores have their own innate qualities and experiences that cannot be told to outsiders. Xiao Bao doesn’t need to be envious.”

"Besides, with me, you never need to be that strong."

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Assistant Zhou Rui's voice came from the doorbell: "Chairman Huo, the meal from Huaxi Mansion has arrived."

Huo Zheng raised his hand and pressed the remote unlock button. The door opened with a "beep" and Zhou Rui pushed the door open and walked in.

"Just put it on the coffee table."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

With a conscience still intact, Chu Yu finally remembered Huo Cheng, whom they had just completely ignored, and craned her neck to look outside the door.

Zhou Rui reacted quickly and immediately guessed what she was looking for. He lowered his head slightly and said gently, "Madam, President Huo had a meeting and just left."

Tanmeng Technology in Huocheng has its own independent company building, which is not too far from the Huo Group headquarters building.

"Got it, thank you."

"Madam, you're too kind. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now. I hope you and Chairman Huo enjoy your meal."

Huo Zheng nodded, and Zhou Rui then turned and left.

"Your assistant is quite something."

The man was amused to see the young girl speak so earnestly for the first time.

"It's really not easy to be praised by the boss's wife."

After saying that, he picked up the person, got up, and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Chu Yu then noticed the food box that Zhou Rui had just brought in—a black lacquered box with gold-painted lotus and brocade patterns.

Why would she know?

I saw it once when I accompanied my boss to a top-tier auction in the original world.

Antiques of national treasure level certainly wouldn't belong to the Huaxi Mansion.

"What are you daydreaming about? Do you like this food box?"

Huo Zheng was already using baby disinfectant wipes to clean her hands when he casually asked a question.

"Oh? Oh, it's quite pretty."

The man continued without stopping, echoing her words, "If you like it, you can have it. There are plenty of these kinds of things in the warehouse at home. I'll take you back another day to pick some out."

He hadn't realized the young girl liked these old things; if he had known, he would have emptied the storeroom long ago.
