Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1916: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (120)

Xia Cha looked at the man who was driving beside her. Seeing his calm expression and lack of any thoughts, she said, “I heard that you’re the head of the Huo family now. Congratulations.”

Huo Heng drove without looking elsewhere and replied calmly, “It’s my fate to not be able to escape the Huo family. My father is the real Third Master.”

“Ah?” Xia Cha was a little surprised, but she quickly regained her senses and smiled. “That’s good. In that case, Old Master will trust you more.”

“After you left, the Old Master told me that you saved him before.”

After the topic changed, the cold atmosphere in the car seemed much better.

The two of them were like old friends that they had not seen for a long time, as they spoke one after another.

But none of them mentioned their feelings for each other.

Ten minutes after the car drove out, Huo Heng’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.

Xia Cha sat at the side and did not speak.

Perhaps it was because the car was too quiet that she could hear faintly that it was a woman who had called him.

She couldn’t hear what the woman was saying, but she saw Huo Heng’s lips twitch and a smile appear on his handsome face. “Then let’s meet the day after tomorrow. Gift? What gift do you want?”

Xia Cha looked down at her bag on her lap. Her slender fingers pinched the strap of her bag and her fingers tightened.

“Alright, I’ll buy it from you.”

Soon, he ended the call.

Xia Cha glanced at him from the corner of her eye. The smile on his face was not polite or distant, but there was a rare hint of sincerity.

Was she his girlfriend?

Xia Cha glanced at his left hand that was holding the steering wheel. He was not wearing a wedding ring.

She was probably just his girlfriend.

“How has it been over the past year?” He asked her after the call ended.

Xia Cha was distracted and did not hear what he said clearly.

He glanced at her and saw that she was looking out of the car window, her fair side profile tense and she looked like she did not want to talk to him. He pursed his lips.

The car stopped below the apartment.

Xia Cha thanked him and got out of the car.

She was at the entrance and was about to swipe the card to go in when footsteps sounded behind her.

The man chased after her.

“Are you free tomorrow?”

Xia Cha turned back and looked at the man behind her.

The dim street lights fell on her, but she felt that the warm light was a little cold.

She stared straight into his eyes, suppressing her emotions. “Is there anything on?”

“I want to help my friend choose a gift. You’re quite good at fashion.”

Xia Cha almost picked up her bag and threw it at him.

Why did he ask her to get involved when he was helping his girlfriend pick out gifts?

She was the one who had asked for the break up first. At that time, she swore that she would never like him in this life, but that did not mean that she was open-minded enough to choose gifts for his girlfriend.

Did he think so highly of her?

The words she wanted to reject turned into, “Sure.”

Her emotions were not shown on her face at all.

She had a pretty and classic oval-shaped face and was smiling openly and naturally.

Even after she disappeared from his sight, Huo Heng didn’t look away.

He took out a cigarette from his pants pocket, took one puff, but put it out quickly.

He glanced at the apartment she was staying in and the lights were turned on there.

He turned around and entered the car.

…

Xia Cha had a good night’s sleep.

She thought she would lose sleep.

Perhaps because she was too exhausted, her mind went on strike and she did not think too much about it.

After booking a flight ticket to Yan City tomorrow, Xia Cha washed up and took a look at her phone.

There were several missed calls.

Her roommate, Ah Ning, and her best friend from Capital University had called her.

Xia Cha replied to their messages one by one.

She glanced at the caller ID again, but didn’t see Huo Heng’s number.

But it might be because she had changed her number and he did not know.

Xia Cha thought she was ridiculous. He was going to buy gifts for his girlfriend. Why did she agree to helping him out?

But it was not good to go back on one’s words.

Xia Cha did not know if Huo Heng’s phone number had changed, so she tried to send a message out.

“What time are you going to choose the gift today?”

After sending it out, Xia Cha did not care about her phone.

She went to make breakfast.

She only went into the room to take her phone after she was done eating.

She had received a reply.

“Come downstairs.”

It had been sent 40 minutes ago.

Xia Cha ran to the balcony and looked down.

She saw a black sedan parked downstairs. It should be Huo Heng’s car.

The corners of her lips twitched and she thought that he could not wait to choose gifts for his girlfriend?

Xia Cha did not want to make herself too sullen. She chose a long dress from her suitcase and put it on.

In the past year, Xia Cha had grown taller. In addition, Xia Yanran had hired a nutritionist to treat her. She looked like a blooming begonia. She was simply beautiful.

She was slender and the long sleeveless dress highlighted her appealing figure.

Her fair slender arms were exposed.

The skirt hem ended at her knees and it was not revealing, but it made one’s imagination run wild. When she walked, her fair legs could be seen faintly and with her high heels, it was enough to show her femininity.

Her hair was dyed the color of tea. The ends of her hair were slightly curled and spread over her shoulders. Her oval face was only the size of a palm while she had light makeup on her face. Her teeth and scarlet lips were clean and beautiful.

Huo Heng had already smoked several cigarettes.

A weary expression appeared on his face.

There was a knock on the car window just as he put out the cigarette and was lighting another one.

He wound the window down and looked at the woman standing outside.

“I’m sorry. I only just saw the message. I was making breakfast.”

Huo Heng’s gaze scanned her face to her body.

He said calmly, “I’m fine. Get in.”

Xia Cha opened the door and smelled the smell of tobacco in the car. She frowned, wanting him to smoke less, but then remembered that she was not anyone to him and had no right to ask him to do anything.

Xia Cha lowered the window of the front passenger seat.

Huo Heng didn’t say anything else. He started the engine and drove out of the district.

After some distance, Huo Heng said, “Were you the one who composed Ah Ning’s song?”

Xia Cha hummed.

Not long after arriving at the capital, she met Ah Ning again.

At that time, she had gone to a hotel with her sister and brother-in-law for dinner and bumped into Ah Ning, who was accompanied by a woman in her forties.

The woman threw a key card at his face. “If you don’t go, don’t even think about staying in the industry.”

At that time, Ah Ning had said, “If I have to sacrifice myself for the singing career I like, I’m willing to give up on my dream!”

There were not many people who could uphold their own music dreams.

When she saw Ah Ning, Xia Cha seemed to have seen her past self.

So, she called someone she had worked with before.

He sent over the lyrics and melody she had written, asking for Ah Ning to sing it.

Ah Ning shot to fame with one song.

Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha’s slightly dazed expression and pursed his lips tightly, not saying anything else.

The car stopped at the entrance of a mall.

Huo Heng and Xia Cha got out of the car.

This mall was owned by the Huo family. After Huo Heng arrived, the mall manager came to welcome him.

They entered a jewelry store.

“I want to give a bracelet to a friend,” Huo Heng said.

The staff took out more than ten exquisite and beautiful bracelets.

Xia Cha’s gaze froze as she spotted a Camellia-shaped bracelet.

Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha, as if he was asking for her opinion.

“What kind of person is your friend?”

Huo Heng smiled slightly. “A strong woman.”

“This one then!” Xia Cha chose a diamond bracelet.

Huo Heng looked at the staff. “Wrap it up.”

After finishing her mission, Xia Cha could not wait to leave.

Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha. “Shall we have lunch together?”

Xia Cha shook her head. “It’s fine, President Huo. I have something else to do later. I’ll get going.”

Without waiting for him to say anything, Xia Cha quickly left.

Huo Heng did not chase after her. He turned back and looked at the staff.

The staff was about to put the remaining bracelets back to where they were when Huo Heng pointed at the camellia bouquet and said, “Wrap this up for me too.”

“Alright.”

…

Xia Cha invited her roommates for dinner.

Although she did not appear on screen now, the songs she created were very popular.

Many famous singing stars would email and invite her to write songs, and the remuneration they gave her was very generous.

She felt that this kind of life was quite good too. She did not have to show her face but could live contentedly.

She could take vacations and go out for a breather. It was indeed much easier than being a celebrity.

The next day, Xia Cha took a plane back to Yan City.

She did not expect to meet Ah Ning again on the plane.

“Camellia, I asked your roommate and learned that you’re going back to your hometown today.” Seeing Xia Cha looking at him with her dark eyes, Ah Ning raised her hands. “I swear that I didn’t come with you on purpose, but I found out that your family is running a farm. I just have a few days of leave and want to have a vacation in a quiet place.”

Other celebrities on vacation either went to the Maldives or went to see the the Northern Lights. He sure was good to choose to go to a farm for a vacation.

Xia Cha was speechless.

However, their family did business and she had no reason to reject them.

“Teacher Xia, am I not welcome?”

Xia Cha said, “Don’t call me Teacher Xia. Also, it doesn’t matter if I welcome you or not. What’s important is that you don’t let your fans chase after our family.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

…

Xia Cha suddenly returned.

She was accompanied by a man who looked like a big celebrity.

The uncles and aunties in the villa did not know any celebrities, so they naturally did not recognize Ah Ning.

But Xia Chuan, Xia Lan, and Xia Xing knew him.

Xia Xing was also Ah Ning’s fan.

Seeing Xia Cha bringing Ah Ning back, she pinched Xia Cha secretly several times.

“Cha Cha, are you in a relationship with Ah Ning?”

“Second Sister, I didn’t expect you to be such a crazy fanatic.”

When Qiu Zhi and Xia Zhenyuan found out that Xia Cha had returned, they rushed back from the orchard.

Seeing the increasingly beautiful Xia Cha, Qiu Zhi pulled Xia Cha into her arms and cried tears of joy.

Xia Zhenyuan’s eyes turned red.

…

Yan City.

Huo Heng came back to see Jian Yi and passed the gift to Jing Yu.
