I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds

This doctor was picked out by them from a million people. Why did he want to sack him after taking a look?

Huo Ce had already turned around and walked out. “Where’s Huo Yuan?”

Han Chi quickly followed. “I’ll go take a look.”

Ning Wan walked over. “Eh? Hubby is back? I didn’t hear anything.”

She looked at Huo Ce with a smile. Huo Ce focused. He did not hear any strange sounds this time. It seemed that she did not know what had happened in the piano room.

For some reason, his expression improved a little.

“Where’s Huo Yuan? How was his learning today? I want to check the results of his learning today,” He asked.

“Oh, they should still be in class. I’ll go take a look.” Ning Wan quickly turned around and went upstairs.

Huo Ce realized that she was unwilling to appear in front of him. He could tell from her escaping steps. Strange, she did not seem to be as clingy as before when she saw him and confessed endlessly.

He used to find it annoying, but he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it now.

The moment Huo Yuan saw Ning Wan, he pointed at the chessboard excitedly and said, “Young Aunt, I understand it now.”

Ning Wan put her index finger to her lips and gestured for him to keep quiet. Then, she looked down at the chessboard.

Her chess skills were not high, and she had learned them on the spot in order to fit the character in the past. However, she could tell that the formation of this chess game was very good. She did not expect this PhD to be a little talented. Little Huo Yuan was also a wonder.

“What’s wrong, Young Aunt?” Huo Yuan immediately understood and lowered his voice.

“Your uncle is back.” Ning Wan also lowered her voice.

Huo Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Ning Wan quickly turned around and looked behind her. Huo Ce and Han Chi did not follow her. She said in a low and fast voice, “Your uncle wants to inspect your homework. If you perform well, he probably won’t come back often. But if you don’t…”

Ning Wan stopped.

Huo Yuan understood. “Then Little Uncle will pay more attention to me!”

Ning Wan made an “OK” gesture and pulled Huo Yuan’s hand out. The two of them held each other’s hands tightly, having an unspoken mutual understanding.

Huo Ce sat on the sofa with a dark expression in the living room. Han Chi stood behind him with a confused expression.

Lin Lang and Chi Nan walked out of the piano room while chatting.

Lin Lang was pleasantly surprised to see her son. “Eh? You’re back so early?”

These words were exactly the same as Ning Wan’s.

Huo Ce could not help but frown. Weren’t they all overjoyed that he had moved back home? Why were they not happy that he had returned early?

Chi Nan did not expect to see Huo Ce at this time either. He felt a little uncomfortable, then relieved, feeling that no one would see his dirty thoughts.

“Teacher Chi? Why aren’t you teaching Huo Yuan anymore?” Huo Ce looked at Chi Nan with a thousand-year-old cold gaze.

Chi Nan’s heart skipped a beat. Huo Yuan had already run over before he could speak. “Little Uncle!”

Huo Ce retracted his gaze that could freeze Chi Nan and looked at his nephew. He nodded.

Lin Lang sat opposite Huo Ce and pulled his grandson to his side with a smile. He asked, “Baby, are you tired?”

Chi Nan had already adjusted his expression and emotions. He took out his phone, opened the memo, and handed it to Huo Ce. “Mr. Huo, this is the teaching plan I developed for Huo Yuan. We’ve already started the first step today. Huo Yuan is very smart and obedient. He’s a rare good student. I believe that in time, he will definitely become a little prodigy.”

Chi Nan’s words made Huo Yuan, who was standing at the side, frown. Why did his teacher speak with such an attitude in front of Little Uncle? It was a little flattering and exaggerated.

Huo Ce quietly looked at the content on the phone in Chi Nan’s hand and did not take it.

Chi Nan had no choice but to bend down and show Huo Ce his cell phone.

“Oh, you learned about the Peach Blossom Spring in the morning?” Huo Ce raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan lowered his eyes and retreated.

Chi Nan said proudly, “Huo Yuan is very smart. Ordinary ancient poems are not a problem for him at all, so we talked about this Peach Blossom Spring. He understands it very well. Huo Yuan, recite the first paragraph to Mr. Huo.”

Chi Nan was confident because they had already memorized it in the morning. Even though Huo Yuan did not have a photographic memory, he was not far from it. He was an extremely intelligent child, comparable to him back then.

Huo Yuan looked at them with a hint of cowardice.

Chi Nan went forward and placed his hand on Huo Yuan’s shoulder, encouraging him. “Don’t be afraid. Be bold. Recite it.”
