Chapter 585 Not building relationships with your ten fathers?

Sui Sui's eyes lit up when she saw the call from him.

He turned to look at Jiang Ruan and handed her the phone: "Mommy, Daddy is calling."

“Then you can talk to him slowly,” Jiang Ruan said gently. “Just say whatever you want to say or ask.”

Sui Sui: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan nodded and walked outside.

Sui Sui wanted to call her over and ask her to stay and listen, but then she thought about their relationship and ultimately didn't say anything.

Sui Sui waited two or three seconds before answering.

As soon as the call connected, Huo Zhizhou's deep, slightly hoarse voice came through: "You're willing to acknowledge me as your father now?"

Sui Sui remained silent.

Huo Zhizhou: "Not here?"

Sui Sui: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou: "Then why aren't you saying anything?"

Sui Sui: "Why don't you reply to my messages or answer my calls?"

"I'm very busy. I replied to this one this morning, and the next one might be tonight." Huo Zhizhou tried his best to keep his composure so that he wouldn't notice anything unusual. "If you reply with only one sentence and then leave it unfinished, wouldn't you be even more worried?"

“I don’t believe it,” Sui Sui said.

Huo Zhizhou: "You have that right."

Every year, my heart is filled with indescribable complexities.

Huo Zhizhou teased him deliberately, "Why didn't you go find your ten fathers? Such a good opportunity, why didn't you cultivate a relationship with your ten fathers?"

“I want to see you.” Sui Sui ignored his words.

He's going to take it back; I'll definitely use that phrase to shut him up later.

Changing the subject is the best outcome.

Huo Zhizhou: "Next time."

Sui Sui: "Why?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm making this call in a spare moment. I'll open the phone for you when I'm done with this."

Seeing his refusal, Sui Sui guessed that his condition might not be very good.

Even though his tone of voice was similar to usual, his voice was noticeably less energetic than before.

Is he sick?

"Then please have Uncle Jiang Yu film a video for me," Sui Sui said. "In the video, please make a heart shape with your hands for me."

Huo Zhizhou chuckled softly.

That kid.

They're quite cunning.

“No.” He refused.

Sui Sui's tone still carried a childish quality: "Why?"

"It's a bit unfair that I have to fulfill so many requests just because you call me 'Dad'." Huo Zhizhou even came up with a tactful reason for refusing, "Why didn't I think of these things when you called me 'Uncle Huo' before?"

Sui Sui: "Are you afraid?"

Huo Zhizhou replied seriously, "Um, I wouldn't dare."

Sui Sui: "..."

Every year brings its own emotions.

But he couldn't refuse because of this reason.

"If you're willing to bring me and your mother together and work towards that, I might consider it," Huo Zhizhou said, stating a condition he simply couldn't fulfill.

Take a deep breath every year.

Stinky dad!

"You wish."

"You were the one who thought of it first," Huo Zhizhou replied calmly.

Sui Sui exposed him: "Don't think I don't know that you're saying all this just to avoid being filmed, because you're afraid that if you are filmed, I'll see that you don't actually have a job and are lying to me."

"You can agree to my conditions, and I'll have Jiang Yu take the picture for you right away," Huo Zhizhou said methodically.

Year after year, he hesitated to speak.

Why don't you agree first?

They agreed but did it half-heartedly.

How can a little kid like him bring people together?

"Don't just agree and then pretend to go through the motions." Huo Zhizhou could tell what he was thinking even through the phone. "What I need for matchmaking is for you to actively cooperate with my actions."

Sui Sui: "..."

Sui Sui refused: "I don't want to watch it."

He was worried about him.

But he will always be on Mommy's side.

Don't even think about turning him against his cause.

"Mm," Huo Zhizhou replied, "I need to get back to work too."

As the call was about to end, Sui Sui felt a pang of reluctance. She didn't know when they would be able to contact each other again.

Thinking about these things.

He suddenly spoke up: "Dad."

His voice was muffled, which made Huo Zhizhou feel uneasy.

“You can send the previous message in the morning and the next message in the evening,” Sui Sui said. “But I don’t want to have no messages at all.”

Huo Zhizhou agreed: "Okay."

Sui Sui: "Mmm."

Huo Zhizhou: "Go to sleep."

Sui Sui: "You too, get some rest early."

Huo Zhizhou: "It's daytime here."

Sui Sui: "Oh."

Huo Zhizhou said goodnight to him and then hung up the phone.

Seeing the call end, Sui Sui felt a little relieved. When he didn't reply to her messages, she was worried that he might be feeling unwell, fainting, lying down, or hospitalized.

It seems he can still speak.

It shouldn't be too bad.

right!

That's it.

She comforted herself year after year.

Previously, we could monitor his daily activities by counting his steps, but his father turned it off at some point, so he has no idea what's going on with him.

When Assistant Jiang watched his boss hang up the phone and regain that faint sense of stagnation, he made a suggestion: "How about we go back to China? Or bring the young master over for a few days?"

She seemed to be in better spirits when talking to the young master.

They are also in a relatively good state.

"No, thank you," Huo Zhizhou refused.

Assistant Jiang said, "But your diet..."

"I won't die." Huo Zhizhou knew his physical condition very well. "You just go about your business and don't worry about me. Just treat this as a vacation."

Jiang Yu: "..."

How could we possibly ignore it?

How can you go out and play without worry?

“If you really miss Miss Jiang, call her,” Jiang Yu said. “Tell her you’re missing her so much you’ve lost your appetite, and show her what you look like now.”

"Go on with your work," Huo Zhizhou interrupted him.

He didn't want her to worry.

I didn't want her to overthink it.

Even when she saw herself like this, she remained unmoved.

“But—” Assistant Jiang was still worried.

With a single glance from Huo Zhizhou, Jiang Yu suppressed his emotions and left.

He had just stepped out of the villa when Lin Bei and Lin Feng, who had been idly strolling around outside, spoke up first.

"How about it?"

"Has the BOSS eaten?"

Each of them said one sentence.

Assistant Jiang shook his head.

Lin Bei sighed: "If this continues, my health will definitely collapse."

"Miss Jiang just called and said that the young master misses him and asked him to call the young master back," Assistant Jiang told them.

Lin Bei: "What did the BOSS say?"

Lin Feng: "Did you fight?"

Jiang's Special Assistant: "We did it."

“It seems that Miss Jiang’s words still have an effect.” Lin Bei said seriously, and started to come up with various ideas. “Why don’t we tell Miss Jiang about the BOSS’s situation? After all, the BOSS is the young master’s biological father, and Miss Jiang should not stand by and watch him die.”

"You can't say," Assistant Jiang instructed.

Lin Feng: "What if we don't say the BOSS is dead?"

Jiang's Special Assistant: "We'll talk about it when we're dead."

Lin Feng: "I feel like I'm about to die."

Lin Bei: "..."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Assistant Jiang sighed: "The boss doesn't want to bring negative emotions to Miss Jiang. If he says it, it might be seen as a self-inflicted injury."

Sometimes he doesn't even know what the boss is thinking.

Using a self-inflicted injury as a pretext occasionally is harmless.

How could they not consider this at all?

"Should we talk to President Gu?" Lin Bei asked. "If he were here, things wouldn't be so lifeless."

Jiang's Special Assistant: "I won't say."

Assistant Jiang: "The boss instructed us not to tell anyone. You guys finish what he asked you to do and then go on vacation. I'll take care of things here."

Lin Bei and Lin Feng sighed silently.

I don't know whether to call my boss a stubborn person or something else.
