Chapter 29

Lin Xin did not care about Huo Yuan’s small protest at all.

“I heard that you found a tutor for Huo Yuan? It’s time for him to learn something seriously,” Lin Xin said in a very familiar tone.

Huo Ce said calmly, “I’ve sacked him. Ning Wan will be in charge of Huo Yuan’s daily homework. Children should focus on playing. Happiness is the most important.”

“S-sacked? Let her be in charge of Huo Yuan’s homework?” Lin Xin raised her voice, losing her composure a little.

Ning Wan was shocked. For Lin Xin’s attitude and Huo Ce’s confession.

Huo Ce frowned. Lin Xin immediately realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly smiled politely at Ning Wan. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to look down on you.”

[It’s okay. I know you look down on me.]

Ning Wan’s “inner voice” was calm and even sincere.

Lin Xin elegantly dabbed the corners of her mouth with a tissue and tried her best to control her emotions. “Huo Yuan is the heir of the Huo Corporation that you and Elder Brother have chosen. Naturally, he has to be nurtured since he was young. Look, aren’t you bringing him to all kinds of meetings now to let him see the world and get him involved at such a young age? We’ve all been educated elites since we were young. He’s five years old and not young anymore. He should start learning and gain cultural knowledge of the system. How can you still indulge him in playing and fooling around?”

Huo Ce glanced at Ning Wan, who was picking up food for Huo Yuan calmly. “I believe Ning Wan can be Huo Yuan’s first tutor.”

The food in Ning Wan’s chopsticks landed on the table with a “plop”.

[Where did your confidence come from? Mr. Huo, even if you’re confident in yourself, don’t be confident in me!]

Huo Ce’s gaze softened as he looked at Huo Yuan. “Ning Wan is right. A child has to enjoy childhood first. I’ve worked hard to make the Huo Corporation better because I want Huo Yuan to be happier than my brother and I. Huo Yuan is Ning Wan and my son. He naturally should be accompanied and taught by Ning Wan. I believe in her. No problem.”

Lin Xin did not look too good.

She had never seen Huo Ce like this.

Even Ning Wan had never seen it before!

If it weren’t for Little Glutinous Rice’s repeated assurance that Huo Ce’s body would never be occupied by transmigrators, she would have suspected that Huo Ce’s soul had been replaced. He had become very different, but she couldn’t tell what was different.

This was the first time Ning Wan had seen Huo Ce disrespect Lin Xin. Ning Wan did not dare to look straight at Lin Xin’s expression.

However, Lin Xin was someone who did great things. She adjusted her emotions in an instant and smiled at Ning Wan. “Yes, Ning Wan has a good temper. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chosen by Elder Brother to be the Young Madam of the Huo family.”

Huo Ce nodded. “Yes, Elder Brother has always been very good at judging people.”

[Are they talking about me? Why does it sound so much like a fantasy?]

Huo Yuan wiped his mouth. “I’m done eating.”

Huo Ce said gently, “Ning Wan, change him into formal clothes. There’s a panel discussion in half an hour. Accompany him to listen in. The meeting will end at about ten o’clock then you can have free time, but the scope can only be in the hotel.”

“Yes, Little Uncle.” Huo Yuan jumped down from the chair and pulled Ning Wan over. He whispered, “Young Aunt, let’s go.”

Ning Wan stood up elegantly. “Then we’ll go back to our room first. Take your time.”

Ning Wan had her own way of dealing with Lin Xin’s transgressions. Wasn’t it just ignoring her? Who didn’t know how to do it?

She could see Lin Xin’s ugly expression from the back of her head. Unfortunately, she was trapped by her status. She could only endure it and not flare up even if she was unhappy.

Ning Wan smiled comfortably and left with Huo Yuan happily thinking of this.

Needless to say, this Miss Lin Xin would also be targeted by the book transmigrator or was already a book transmigrator. She was so determined to get the position of Huo Yuan’s stepmother and was extremely ambitious.

However, Ning Wan was not afraid of her. Ning Wan was in the mood to watch a show when facing such an arrogant young lady from a wealthy family who wanted to achieve her goal. Why not throw the problem to Huo Ce and let humans with high IQ fight?

Ning Wan was in a good mood and was calm about being able to attend the Huo Corporation’s internal meeting. She took notes for Huo Yuan and wanted to help him revise them when she was free. This made the Huo family employees look at her in a different light.

Finally, it was time for them to move around freely. Both of them were equally excited. The first activity was to go swimming by the sea.

Ning Wan wanted to bring Huo Yuan to swim in the indoor swimming pool, but Huo Yuan did not want to.

Fortunately, the seaside bathhouse was in front of the hotel and Huo Ce’s bodyguards were following them. Ning Wan was relieved. Nothing was more important than Young Master Huo’s safety after all.
