647: Your Mum...

Your Mum...

"Sure, I'll fetch him from school." Huo Yunting replied after hearing her request. It was a good opportunity to get something from her in return. "What's my reward?"2

Their relationship had improved recently, a fact that made him more audacious.

There was no way he would help her without getting something back.

Lu Zhaoyang noticed the cunning smile on his face and knew exactly what he meant.

She went to his side and pecked on his lips.

"There's your reward. Thank you for your help. Xuxu likes you, I'm sure that he will be very happy to see you. I'm going back to work now."

She took a step back and added, "When you're back with him, I might just reward you again, depending on my mood."

"Wonderful. I hope it's not just a light peck like what you did. I want something deeper."

"Mm." She would endure this for now so that he would help her out.

Huo Yunting took a look at the time. When she was gone from his office, he stood up and got ready to leave.

This was his first time picking up a child, it made him feel strangely nervous.

Instead of asking Huo Li to drive, he drove to the school himself.

At the school, he parked his car and entered through the school gate like all the other parents.

Huo Yunting was a famous personality who frequented the headlines of economic news.

The other parents quickly realized who he was and started to gossip.

Did the president of Thunderbolt Corp have a son?

Huo Yunting ignored the judgmental, curious and scandalous glances directed at him while he studied the school grounds.

The walls were painted with murals, and they looked like they were drawn by the students.

He made his way to little Huo Xu's classroom and saw the boy sitting obediently at his seat.

The boy noticed him and smiled warmly. His eyes sparkled in a moment of focus and Huo Yunting found the boy to look very much like himself.

The DNA test was the only thing that convinced him that he was not the boy's father.

"Uncle Yunting!"

The boy raised his tiny fat arm and waved at him joyfully.

The teacher in the classroom was shocked to see that it was Huo Yunting who came to pick up the child.

Huo Xu looked very similar to the President Huo, and they shared the same family name!

The boy called him "uncle", though.

Could he be… born out of wedlock? A nephew, perhaps?

Huo Yunting watched as the little bundle of joy skipped toward him. He bent down and took his school bag, and then scooped him up with his other hand.

"I'm fetching you today."

"Okay, is Yangyang busy?" Huo Xu was not afraid of the change in plan. After all, Uncle Yunting was family.

"Yeah, she's busy, but you will see her very soon."

Huo Yunting carried him and left the school under the inquisitive eyes of the parents and teachers.

Fortunately for him, he never minded what other people thought of him.

Huo Xu did not mind, either. He stepped into the backseat of the car obediently.

"Do you feel like having anything, boy? I can get them for you." He started the car engine and added, "We can buy something for Yangyang too."

"Wow, alright!"

Huo Xu was thinking about what Yangyang liked to eat when something occurred to him. He looked up at Huo Yunting and asked, "What do you like to eat, uncle?"

They had spent so much time together, but Huo Xu thought he did not know his uncle well yet.

"Your mum..." He paused, knowing that the boy was too young to understand him anyway. "... has a very similar taste to mine."
