WARNING! Tsundere President - Chapter 789

Finally, after his phone had vibrated for over half an hour, Huo Chen picked up his phone.

“Hello.”

“Chen!”

Lu Zhaoyang cried unhappily from the other end of the line. “Why were you not answering?”

“… My apologies.”

“It’s fine,” Lu Zhaoyang said anxiously. “Where are you now? I’d like to visit you, can I?”

“Sure.”

Huo Chen would never reject any request by Lu Zhaoyang.

He never did, and he never would. Perhaps it had become a habit for him.

He exhaled slowly and spoke with a hoarse and tired voice.

“Yang Yang, tell Huo Yunting to bring Lu Bai with you. I need to speak to him.”

“Okay!”

Lu Zhaoyang was so overjoyed with his safe return that she did not notice that he sounded off. She merely agreed to his request.

Half an hour later…

Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting arrived in their car at Huo Chen’s place.

Lu Zhaoyang was so eager to step out of the car that she forgot to unbuckle her seatbelt before she got up from her seat.

Realizing how eager she was to see Huo Chen, Huo Yunting pulled a face and pursed his lips. He helped her release her seatbelt and then shot a warning glance at her.

“You better control yourself, or I will keep you inside the house until after you give birth.”

“…”

She huffed in annoyance.

Huo Yunting opened her side of the door and was about to help her out when she put her hand on his shoulder instead.

“If that’s the case, then you better take good care of me, little Ting.”

Huo Yunting smiled thinly at her defiance.

Together with them was Lu Bai, who rolled his eyes at their antics.

I can’t take this anymore! He thought

“Yang Yang.”

Huo Chen was already waiting for them at the steps in front. He saw their interaction and relaxed up a bit.

Upon hearing his voice, Lu Zhaoyang grew excited and wanted to run to him, but because of the look her husband gave her, she put a hand on her belly for protection and reluctantly took small, careful steps toward Huo Chen.

Huo Yunting and Lu Bai followed slowly behind her.

Huo Chen quickly understood the situation and was taken by surprise. “You’re pregnant again?”

“Yes!”

Lu Zhaoyang smiled warmly. She was practically radiating with happiness and contentment.

“Congrats.”

“Thank you.”

Lu Zhaoyang found it odd for him to speak so little words with her. While Huo Chen had always been a quiet man, he had always been more generous with words when it came to her.

Besides, he looked a little disquieted, like he was burdened by something particularly distressing.

Lu Zhaoyang was bothered by what she saw and asked hesitantly, “Chen, your operation was a success, right? Or did something happen?”

According to the news, Huo Chen was victorious. Sha Kang was shot to death by him in an accident, while the Golden Triangle was peaceful once more after the purge.

The military had discussed and come to a decision of classifying Sha Kang’s death as an accident.

Huo Chen’s eyes darkened. He took a glance at Lu Bai, who was looking around the place idly with his hands in his pockets.

“Let’s talk inside.”

Lu Zhaoyang could not understand, but Huo Yunting threw a quick look of understanding at Huo Chen.

They were both men, and more than that, they were family.

He recognized instantly the deep pain that was Huo Chen was keeping suppressed.

It was the kind of suppression that had gone on for far too long and on the verge of collapse.

Huo Yunting considered the situation and took only a few seconds to guess the truth.

The guests entered Huo Chen’s house and took their seats.

Lu Zhaoyang was about to ask for more information when Lu Bai spoke first, “Where is Wen He? Is she not here?”

“…”

Huo Chen pursed his lips, slowly stood up and went to Lu Bai.
