Chapter 435: Probe Him

She was very worried that Huo Yunshen and Ye Xun would meet again. She was afraid that Ye Xun would start talking nonsense again and say something unpleasant to him.

The call connected and Xu Xiyan heard a “hello” from the other end of the call. She asked, “Mr. Huo, where are you now?”

“I’m already back. I’m about to come ov—”

Before Huo Yunshen could finish his words, Xu Xiyan heard Ying Bao’s excited voice from the other side of the call. “Uncle Dimples!”

What could it mean if she could hear Ying Bao’s voice from Huo Yunshen’s side of the call?

Wouldn’t that mean that he had already arrived?

Aaaaaaahhhhh…

Xu Xiyan felt goosebumps leaping out of her skin. She dropped her phone and rushed out of the room.

When she came to the living room, she saw a very strange scene.

Huo Yunshen had come through the crystal closet door and Ying Bao was greeting him happily. She threw herself into his arms and had even climbed onto his lap.

Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan were stunned. They were staring at the man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, dumbstruck.

In fact, Huo Yunshen was stunned too. Before he could finish his sentence over the phone, he realized there were other people in Xu Xiyan’s house, and one of those people was his big-mouthed older sister.

Huo Sanyan was the first to recollect her wits. She exclaimed, “What the f*ck! Since when was there a door here?”

Xu Xiyan immediately rushed over to them, chuckling nervously as she explained, “Don’t you think this door is really convenient for taking care of Mr. Huo?”

After exchanging looks with Xu Xiyan, Huo Yunshen picked Ying Bao up and greeted them awkwardly, “You guys are here?”

“Yeah! I didn’t expect you to come, too,” Huo Sanyan said, wheeling her own younger brother into the room enthusiastically.

Ye Xun looked up and down at Huo Yunshen secretly, a suspicious expression on his face. A strange notion flashed across his mind. What is his true identity?

He had planned to buy the apartment beside Xu Xiyan’s unit back when he was moving over but discovered that the owner of that apartment was very secretive. Though he had used various methods to find out about the owner’s identity, he could not find even a single clue.

At this moment he could not help but suspect Huo Yunshen’s identity. It seemed like he was not as simple as he looked.

Other than the members of the JS group, who would go to extreme lengths to keep their identity a secret?

Was he someone from the Dark Zone?

It seemed he would have to look for an opportunity to probe him.

“Uncle Dimples, where have you been all this while? Baby missed you,” Ying Bao said, sitting on Huo Yunshen’s lap with her little arms around his neck.

“Uncle had some family matters to attend to, but Uncle missed you too.”

Huo Yunshen could not explain why; it was clear that he had met with Ying Bao only a handful of times, and yet he had found himself longing for her deeply.

Often, he would think of her cute little face.

“That’s great! Baby is so happy!”

The thought of Uncle Dimples missing her gave the little girl a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

Ying Bao and Huo Yunshen sat there as they gazed at each other, looking into each other’s eyes for a long moment.

The same strange thoughts emerged in Ye Xun’s mind again. He looked at the dimples on Ying Bao’s and Huo Yunshen’s cheeks; their perfect similarity gave Ye Xun a very bad feeling.

There were many times he could not help but wonder whether Ying Bao was Huo Yunshen’s daughter.

But then again, it didn’t seem plausible. If she was really his daughter, why did Xu Xiyan not introduce them to each other as father and daughter?

The thought of his little girl, who he had raised himself, calling someone else her father filled Ye Xun’s heart with bitterness. He wanted to exterminate that possibility at its roots, no matter how trifling it seemed.

“Daughter, you should come down. Don’t keep sitting on your uncle; your uncle is very fragile.”

Ye Xun stepped forward and lifted Ying Bao off Huo Yunshen’s lap, then coaxed her, “My little daughter, how about Daddy plays a game with you?”

“Baby does not want to play games. Baby only wants to play with Uncle Dimples.” Ying Bao had immediately rejected him.
