WARNING! Tsundere President

Huo Yunting looked at Huo Li quietly, refusing to lay out his cards. The latter was annoyed that he could not tell whether Huo Yunting was giving him a look of sympathy or ridicule.

Fortunately, the staredown ended swiftly. "Don't worry. Just focus on helping me with this one thing," Huo Yunting said slowly.

"What is it?"

Huo Yunting asked him to come closer and whispered in his ear.

"Got it?"

Huo Li looked invigorated.

"Of course, consider it done!"

"Goodbye."

Huo Li slipped away with renewed enthusiasm. Huo Yunting did not linger as well. He used his wife as an excuse to leave for the capital and ignored all the rumours gradually building up in the company.

In the hospital, he hugged his beloved daughter and then helped Lu Zhaoyang back to her room.

After she settled down in bed, she asked, "Is Xiang Jinxi back?"

Huo Yunting raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"

"Anyone with a brain can work it out, okay?" Lu Zhaoyang said and frowned. "Who else would dare to challenge you so openly? Besides, the name of that company makes it even more obvious."

Huo Yunting looked at her in surprise. "I see that not all women become dumb after their pregnancy."

"…"

Lu Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him and frowned worriedly. That made her husband's heart ache.

He wrapped her in his arms and buried his head in the crook of her neck to savour her smell.

"Don't worry, know that I will take care of this. Just stay in the capital in the meantime and stay away from the city."

Huo Yunting was keeping Xiang Jinxi in check, while Huo Chen had his eye on Bruce's family. Lu Zhaoyang would be safe.

"Alright."

Lu Zhaoyang did not doubt her husband's abilities. She wanted to help out, but since she had only recently given birth and was busy looking after her ill daughter, she was in no mood to work.

"You be careful."

Huo Yunting stopped himself from making a joke when he saw how concerned she was and simply nodded instead.

"I will."

A few days later, the battle between Jin Financial and Thunderbolt Corp continued with no signs of abating. It was not an all out war yet, but the people in the business circle observed them with great interest.

They found out that Jin Financial had robbed Thunderbolt Corp of a few projects and even bought some of its shares, but Huo Yunting had not responded in kind. It was all very puzzling.

Xiang Jinxi's tactics had not eroded Thunderbolt Corp's foundations, but it was simply not Huo Yunting's style to play dead.

Xiang Jinxi realized that as well.

Having been defeated by the man before, he knew more than anyone to tread very carefully.

"Lance," he called.

The man in question came in and greeted in typical Western fashion, "Mr Xiang."

"Do something for me, please."

"Yes?"

Xiang Jinxi's gaze turned cold as he said in a low voice, "I want Huo Yunting to be surveilled twenty-four hours a day. You will report to me immediately if something is amiss. Remember to be extra careful and avoid being found out. Huo Yunting is a cunning man and you will do best if you leave your ego out of this!"

Lance straightened himself and nodded firmly.

"Get to it."

"Yes, sir."

Xiang Jinxi stood up and paced around his office. Then, he took his phone and dialed a number.

"Mr Eric."
