Chapter 584 Worrying about Huo Zhizhou Every Year

“He hasn’t contacted me either,” Sui Sui said.

Jiang Ruan was taken aback for a moment, assuming that Huo Zhizhou was too busy: "You can send him a message, he will reply to you when he is done."

“He’s only replied to one message in all these days.” Although Sui Sui often bickers with Huo Zhizhou, he still cares about his father. “It was the day he went on a business trip.”

Jiang Ruan asked, "What did he reply?"

Sui Sui told her everything: "I asked how long the business trip would last, and he said he didn't know. He also said that he might be busy for a while and wouldn't have time to check messages."

"Then he must really be busy." Jiang Ruan didn't think much of it.

Huo Zhizhou had been very busy before, but no matter how busy he was, he would always find time to send her messages or call her, even if it was only for a minute. This was the first time he had ever been this busy.

Sui Sui asked, "But he's never been this busy before."

He had all the things he has now when he was president of the Huo Group. Back then, he was able to manage both the company and his other businesses.

How come now—

"Mommy." Sui Sui tilted her little head up.

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Sui Sui: "I'm afraid he'll do something foolish by himself."

Jiang Ruan rubbed his head: "No, it won't happen."

Putting aside Su Anran's situation, he is mostly a responsible person. Sui Sui is his child, and he wouldn't do that.

Sui Sui hung her head, her little mind starting to wander.

He was in a bad state when I went to see him that day, and Uncle Jiang Yu kept stopping him from going upstairs. Although he later explained that he was working overtime, it was obviously strange considering what had happened recently.

"Send him another message or call him later and see if he replies," Jiang Ruan tried to reassure him.

Sui Sui lowered her eyes and said, "No."

Jiang Ruan paused.

Sui Sui opened her chat history and call history with him, and found that none of the messages and calls he sent and made in the past few days had been answered, and they were even still showing as unread.

“He has never been this busy.” Sui Sui is just a child after all. Although he doesn’t care much about his parents’ divorce, it’s because he knows that even if they are divorced, they will still treat him well and his mother can be happy.

But now.

Dad has lost contact.

It still has some impact on him.

"I'll call Jiang Yu," Jiang Ruan reassured him, "and ask about the situation."

Sui Sui's voice was muffled: "I already asked."

Jiang Ruan stopped unlocking her phone.

Sui Sui said, "Uncle Jiang Yu said that Dad is busy and will be busy for a while."

Jiang Ruan frowned almost imperceptibly between her brows.

Jiang Yu knew, which meant he would tell Huo Zhizhou about it.

Every year he tried to find Jiang Yuzu, which showed that he missed him a little, but Huo Zhizhou still didn't reply to his messages, which was really unusual.

Sui Sui thought so too.

That's when he told Jiang Ruan about it.

"Let me ask about the situation." After much consideration, Jiang Ruan called Jiang Yu.

When Jiang Yu saw her phone call, he was calling Huo Zhizhou to have dinner, but the latter was unmoved and had no appetite, so he told him to leave.

Jiang Yu advised, "You haven't eaten much for several days."

Huo Zhizhou: "I don't want to eat."

He really had no appetite.

Every time I force it down, I spit it out.

His body is rejecting food, and now he doesn't even feel hungry.

“Your health will suffer if you don’t eat,” Jiang Yu said. “The young master has asked you about the situation several times. If we continue like this, he will definitely become suspicious.”

The words had barely left his mouth.

His phone rang again.

As he picked it up, he said, "Probably the young master again..."

At this point, Jiang Yu suddenly stopped, looking at his boss sitting in the chair with a hesitant expression.

Huo Zhizhou noticed: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu handed over the phone: "It's Miss Jiang."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes flickered, and his hand unconsciously tightened.

Soft and soft—

"Should I answer?" Jiang Yu asked. "If I answer and they ask about your condition, what should I say?"

Huo Zhizhou was about to make an excuse when he remembered her previous coldness and disgust towards him, and finally said with a mix of emotions, "She doesn't care about me."

Jiang Yu: "What if?"

Huo Zhizhou: "No."

She so desperately wanted to avoid him, how could she possibly care?

This call was most likely about Sui Sui. He had been feeling so down these past few days that he was afraid of replying to the wrong message and making the little one worry, so he simply used being busy as an excuse.

Jiang Yu opened his mouth and answered the phone.

I also turned on speakerphone.

"Miss Jiang," he said naturally, just like every time he greeted her.

Jiang Ruan: "Where is Huo Zhizhou?"

The simple four words stirred up ripples in Huo Zhizhou's heart.

He underestimated Ruan Ruan's influence on him. Just hearing her voice was enough to revive his lifeless heart, and his mind was filled with thoughts of her.

"The boss is busy." Assistant Jiang said this while looking at Huo Zhizhou, so as to receive his eye signal. "Is there something you need?"

Jiang Ruan said directly, "He's not busy."

Jiang's assistant: "Busy."

Jiang Ruan: "Then send me a picture of him being busy."

Seeing that his boss hadn't made a move yet, Assistant Jiang decisively agreed: "Okay."

Not long after.

He then sent the photos over.

Looking at the photo, Jiang Ruan calmly asked, "Was it taken in advance?"

Jiang's assistant was in his throat.

Is it really necessary to be this smart?

"It was just taken," Assistant Jiang said seriously, his words and tone revealing no sign of his suspicion.

“Tell him to pick up his phone and reply to Sui Sui’s message, or make a call.” Jiang Ruan didn’t say much more to him, knowing that the photo wasn’t real-time. “He’s a little worried about him.”

Huo Zhizhou felt a tightness in his chest.

He really wanted to ask, "What about you?"

Are you worried about me?

Do you miss me?

Yet, I know very well the answers to these questions.

Ruan Ruan would coldly and ruthlessly reply to him: I'm not worried, I don't want to.

“This…” Assistant Jiang looked at his boss.

The latter nodded slightly.

That's considered agreement.

“Okay,” Assistant Jiang said. “I’ll talk to him about it later.”

Jiang Ruan hung up the phone.

He didn't ask a single question.

Assistant Jiang looked at Huo Zhizhou and said, "If you calculate the time difference, it's still eight or nine o'clock in the evening for Miss Jiang. When do you plan to call the young master?"

Huo Zhizhou took the phone.

Looking at the message Sui Sui sent him, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

After a moment's hesitation, he replied: "Your mommy said you miss me?"

Sui Sui was stunned for a moment when she received the message.

This time, he didn't act all haughty; he readily admitted, "Yes."

Sui Sui: [What have you been doing these past few days? Why have you been so busy?]

Huo Zhizhou: [Call me Dad and I'll tell you.]

Sui Sui: [Dad.]

Huo Zhizhou paused.

He didn't expect the little guy to be so decisive.

Weren't they always so arrogant?

He added a bit of difficulty: [Say it using voice.]

Sui Sui: "Dad, what have you been busy with lately?"

Hearing the child's clear yet slightly muffled voice, Huo Zhizhou felt a pang of guilt in his chest.

He let out a soft breath.

After I calmed down, I called him.

Judging from this little guy's reaction, if he doesn't make a phone call, he'll probably be thinking about all sorts of random things.
