I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Really Annoyed Huo Shiyuan?

Huo Shiyuan stared into Yuan Xi’s eyes, clearly sensing her displeasure, but he didn’t know what had made her angry.

“Earlier, I told Xiao Shihuo that you agreeing to give him ice cream doesn’t count. Is that what made you angry?”

Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “From now on, I’ll listen to you. However much ice cream you say to give him, that’s how much he’ll get.”

He didn’t need to make Yuan Xi unhappy just for Shihuo’s sake.

Yuan Xi said, “I’m really not angry.”

Huo Shiyuan tentatively kissed Yuan Xi’s lips, and she did not refuse.

When Huo Shiyuan wanted to take it further, she stopped him and said, “Tomorrow is not the weekend, and we still have to go to work.”

Huo Shiyuan took a deep breath, “You go to sleep first; I’ll go take a shower.”

Daytime thoughts become dreams at night; Yuan Xi’s entire dream was about Xiao Shihuo growing up to be a tattoo-covered young man who indulged in all vices and struggled to find a job.

The blonde-haired Xiao Shihuo accused Yuan Xi, “It’s all your fault. You gave me ice cream even when I played the piano wrong.”

Huo Shiyuan added, “Spare the rod, spoil the child!”

Yuan Xi woke up abruptly, and it was only six o’clock with Huo Shiyuan still asleep beside her.

Yuan Xi couldn’t fall back asleep; the six o’clock summer morning sun was already very bright.

Yuan Xi went downstairs and breakfast wasn’t ready yet, so she didn’t eat and drove to Michen Building instead.

Work was the best way to get rid of the random thoughts in her mind.

After all, even if Xiao Shihuo was spoiled, he wouldn’t end up having to struggle to find a job.

When Yuan Xi received a call from Huo Shiyuan, it was 7:30 AM.

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

Yuan Xi said, “I have eaten.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “Where did you eat? The bodyguard said you didn’t eat on the way, and Mi Chen Cafeteria wouldn’t have been serving breakfast so early, right?”

Yuan Xi replied, “There are some bread, snacks, and milk in the secretary’s office.”

Huo Shiyuan sensed something was wrong when Yuan Xi hung up the phone. It was clear she had been upset since last night, but she wouldn’t say why.

Huo Shiyuan frowned and reached out to Chen Yuan in the group chat, then privately messaged him.

Yuan Xi heard her phone beep and picked it up to see a message from Chen Yuan.

Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: Your husband asked me to check if you’re angry at him?

Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: No, how did he even ask you about it? [awkward]

Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: I’m coming over today, shall we talk later?

Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: Sure.

After holding two meetings in the morning, Yuan Xi went to a nearby restaurant for lunch with Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan noticed the dark circles under Yuan Xi’s faint makeup, “Did you not sleep well?”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yeah.”

“Are you really angry at Huo Shiyuan?”

Yuan Xi shook her head, “No, I just feel a bit anxious about the child. Previously, I thought it was enough for the child to be born safely and grow up happy and healthy.”

Chen Yuan replied, “Hmm.”

Yuan Xi continued, “But yesterday, when Huo Shiyuan was forcing Xiao Shihuo to practice piano and said I was spoiling the child, I realized that just growing up happy might not be what’s best for him. I’m not angry, just confused and anxious about how to discipline him in the future.”

Chen Yuan chuckled lightly, “Why do you need to be confused and anxious about your child’s future? Your family’s wealth, if your child is capable, he will inherit it. If not, set up a family trust and hire a professional manager. Your family’s fortune will last till your great-great-grandchildren.”

Yuan Xi said, “But Huo Shiyuan, he needs a perfect successor, right?”

Chen Yuan looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Your child isn’t due for another half a year, there’s no need to get so anxious about it. Think about it, you can manage such a big company like Mi Chen, how could you possibly fail to educate your own child?”

Yuan Xi said, “Managing Mi Chen is much simpler than raising a child.”

Chen Yuan, smiling, glanced at her phone and said, “Stop worrying, are you free now? Come with me to buy some clothes, it’s a custom here in Jiang City that all the clothes worn post-marriage must be brand new. I’m getting married in October, and the weather will still require summer-autumn wear by then.”

Yuan Xi knew her old clothes wouldn’t fit anymore, so she went with Chen Yuan to the mall to shop for clothes, hoping it would take her mind off things.

The acquired Hengfan had changed its name to Yi’an under Fu An Group, a high-end mall.

After arriving at Yi’an Mall, Liang Suisui also showed up.

Seeing Yuan Xi, Liang Suisui chuckled and said, “The busybee has time to shop now? Finally not in your shirt, suit, and A-line skirt combo.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “I’ve gained weight, can’t fit into those clothes anymore.”

“It’s not weight gain, is it showing now?”

Liang Suisui gently touched Yuan Xi’s stomach and exclaimed joyfully, “It’s kicking me!”

Yuan Xi laughed, “That’s just me, I ate too much, and now I’m bloated.”

Liang Suisui asked, “Have you checked the gender?”

Yuan Xi shook her head, “They didn’t say during the last prenatal checkup, it must not have been clear yet. The gender should be identifiable during the next checkup.”

Yuan Xi could hardly remember the last time the three of them had gone shopping together; Mi Chen’s constant demands had meant it had been a long time since they had all been to the mall together.

After buying some clothes she liked, Yuan Xi felt much less anxious and took a ride back to Ruohu Mansion with Liang Suisui.

Upon entering Ruohu Mansion, Xiao Shihuo was happily eating ice cream.

Sister Chen, upon seeing Yuan Xi enter, said, “Madam, Xiao Huo has had his third ice cream this afternoon; he probably won’t even want dinner.”

Yuan Xi looked at Xiao Shihuo, puzzled, “You just let him eat like that?”

Sister Chen whispered, “Xiao Huo asked President Huo if he could have ice cream, and President Huo said he could eat as much as he liked…”

Yuan Xi walked over to Xiao Shihuo, took the ice cream from his hands and said, “No more eating, your sister bought you some clothes.”

Xiao Huo said happily, “Really?”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “Go wash your hands and mouth, let’s try on the new clothes.”

After Xiao Huo washed his hands, he jumped around and went over to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi put the newly purchased clothes on Xiao Huo, finding they fit perfectly, “Xiao Huo looks so handsome!”

Seeing Huo Shiyuan coming downstairs, Xiao Huo twirled in front of him and said, “Do I look good? Sister bought me new clothes!”

Yuan Xi called Xiao Huo over, “There are several more to try.”

Xiao Huo hopped over, allowing Yuan Xi to dress him while he reminded her to take pictures to send to his mommy.

Huo Shiyuan glanced over the pile of shopping bags in the hall and asked, “Which ones are mine? I want to try them too.”

Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyuan and said faintly, “I didn’t buy yours.”

Xiao Huo then put on a new denim jacket and denim shorts, striking a cool denim pose.

“Brother, do I look cool?”

Huo Shiyuan frowned and spat out a word: “Ugly.”

After saying that, Huo Shiyuan turned and went upstairs.

Xiao Huo looked puzzled, “Sister, am I ugly?”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “Not at all, Huohuo, you’re very handsome and cool.”

Qin Lang came down from the second floor, approached Xiao Huo and said, “Young master, President Huo has asked me to take you back to City A right now.”

Xiao Huo protested, “I don’t want to, I don’t want to!”
