After giving her a deep look, he gently stepped out.

"Mr. Huo?" Aunt Liu had just finished preparing the brown sugar water and was about to carry it in when Huo Tindong blocked her. He put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, then closed the door easily. Aunt Liu backed away and looked at the quilt on the bed through the crack of the door, thinking that Ye Jinxin had probably fallen asleep already.

"Give me the brown sugar water."

The nanny handed over the bowl.

"Mrs Liu." Huo Tindong took the bowl and asked, "Is there anything strange with Jinxin recently?"

Hiding in the bathroom and crying for no reason, he did not remember this girl being so sentimental.

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment before nodding her head. "Miss seems to be in a bad mood these few days. Her appetite has become smaller than before. Besides, I keep having the feeling that she's in a trance. I don't know what she's thinking."

"When did this start?"

Auntie Liu used her apron to wipe her hands. After frowning for a moment, she said, "It seems …" Yes... Ever since you went to the wedding with Miss Cheng Yingran. "

Huo Tindong's eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he said, "Mrs Liu, it's been hard on you today. You should go back and rest first. I'm busy with my work. I'll need to rely on you to take care of my clothes and food later."

Mrs Liu had never received such a polite request before, not to mention accepting a request from someone of Huo Tindong's status. She could not help but blush as she said, "Mr Huo, this is what I should do. After being in the Huo family for so many years, I have already treated Jinxin as my own child."

Huo Tindong remained calm and indifferent. "Jinxin is very reliant on you too."

Mrs Liu nodded shyly and said emotionally, "Jinxin, this child is sensible."

His expression was calm and unpredictable, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Speaking of which, Mrs Liu had worked at the Huo family for more than ten years, so she had probably spent more time with Ye Jinxin than he had. That girl was so naive, she must have seen this woman as more important than him.

The man sighed in annoyance, while frowning like a small mountain.

He really wanted to chase away all the people by Ye Jinxin's side. In this way, he would become the most important person in her heart.

However, he couldn't. He wasn't at home often. Ye Jinxin had to have someone loyal to guard her.

Mrs Liu looked out the window and said, "It's getting late. Mr Huo, I'll be leaving first."

"En!" Hodan gave an inaudible grunt.

After Mrs Liu left, Huo Tindong wanted to go back to his study to work before going to sleep, but his eyes suddenly glanced at the schoolbag Ye Jinxin had placed on the table, and he remembered the nanny's words: "Miss has been in a trance lately, what are you thinking about?"

This girl, could it be that she had someone she liked in school?

"Hello? Director Huo? "

Wang Xiangnan's surprised voice came out of the phone.

"Mm, it's me." "You don't have to work tomorrow," he said in a low voice as he unrolled the cuffs of his shirt.

"What?" Wang Xiangnan cried out in alarm, "What did I do wrong? Director Huo, you can't just fire me like this, right? I'm old, I …"

"Who fired you!" Huo Ting impatiently interrupted him, "I want you to go to Song City's Champion College tomorrow to watch over a person."

"Keep an eye on him?" Wang Xiangnan was puzzled. "This must be the doing of a private detective."

"I don't trust those people."

"..." "Okay, who do you think you're staring at?"

"My daughter."

Wang Xiangnan swallowed his saliva, "Is that Ye Jinxin?"

The girl who was protected by Huo Tindong and whom everyone in Song City had only heard of was a girl.

"Yes."

Ye Xiangnan felt his scalp tingle. "Do I have to accept this mission?"

"Yes!" "Besides, if he doesn't succeed, he will die."

"..." "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, if Ye Jinxin discovers that you are monitoring her, you have to take all responsibility for her." That is to say, if Ye Jinxin discovers that you are monitoring her, you have to take all responsibility for her.

Wang Xiangnan...

After hanging up the phone, Huo Tindong was still unable to calm himself down.

What if it's true? 'This girl really likes other people. How am I supposed to stop her? '

What was his identity? Father's identity?

But even if it was a father, there was no way to stop his daughter from pursuing her own heart.

Huo Ting Dong frowned and slumped on the sofa behind him. His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the pink schoolbag.

The man's heart skipped a beat. Could there be some clues hidden within the bag?

Huo Ting Dong walked towards the bag. He wanted to open it gently, but when he thought of the evidence inside, he anxiously unzipped it, lifted his hand, and poured out the contents of the bag. The books, pencils, and some tissues didn't show anything suspicious in the bag.

One by one, the man put the items back into the pink backpack, picked up a thick textbook and stuffed it inside. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a beautifully wrapped gift box under the book.

Huo Tindong's movements froze, and his pupils constricted.

He had never given a gift like Ye Jinxin before. Even if he had given a present, he wouldn't have wrapped it up so extravagantly.

Someone else gave it to him? Boy? Girl?

His wild guesses made his mind go blank. Huo Ting Dong let out a long breath and opened the gift box with clenched teeth. He originally wanted to smash the box to pieces, but the gift box was incomplete and it was easy to guess that he had touched the box.

If Ye Jin found out that he was secretly peeking at her school bag, it would likely lower her affability level towards him. Although it didn't have that affability level, he still couldn't do that.

The exquisite box was opened layer by layer.

It was a small wristwatch with a gold chain and a white dial. There were a lot of diamonds at the center of the wristwatch, making it look very beautiful.

Huo Qingtong knew about this brand. It was the latest version of the Patek Fei Li, with a conservative estimate of between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand.

The man squinted as he watched the needle throb, his temples throbbing with pain.

To give such an expensive watch to a girl, the other party definitely wouldn't be a girl.

Ye Jinxin was not very familiar with this watch, so she should not know much about the value of this watch. Perhaps she would accept it as a friend, but even if she wanted to punish someone, she would need to make things clear. At the very least, she had to know who the man who gave her this watch was.

She was like a rose that could not conceal its beauty, blossoming quickly in front of everyone. She was only eighteen, but she had already received the attention of others. If she really met the person who was right, then what reason could he have to have her stay by his side?

He closed his eyes and felt a heavy weight and a sense of uneasiness press against his heart.

Ye Jinxin was the only one that was hard for him to control.
