Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 166 - 167 Plotting against Husband 8

She raised her wrist to check her watch; it was already eight o’clock and she still hadn’t returned.

This is becoming more and more unacceptable; it looks like I’ll need to establish some household rules.

Feeling a bit thirsty, she was surprised to hear the maids whispering when she walked to the dining room.

"That Mr. Tian Ning today was very kind to the Young Madam."

"I even saw him touching the Young Madam’s belly." The two maids whispered in the kitchen, completely unaware that their conversation was overheard by Huo Shaohua outside.

Huo Shaohua’s face darkened, turning around and leaving the dining room with a cold expression.

Tian Xingyun, you’re quite something! I want to touch my own baby and you won’t allow it.

And now you let another man touch my child. You’re really something!

Fine, fine.

An hour later, Tian Xingyun happily walked into the living room carrying several bags.

Coming home today felt great; originally, she had wanted to stay the night.

But her mother said since she was married now, staying at her birth home required discussing with Grandma and Huo Shaohua.

So today, she could only return to the Huo Family first, planning to discuss it with Grandma another day before going back.

"Young Madam, you’re back." The maid saw Tian Xingyun walking into the living room and immediately greeted her.

"Haven’t you all rested yet? It’s already past nine." Tian Xingyun asked with a slight smile, noting that usually, by this time, the helpers would be off duty with only the night staff remaining.

Why has no one left today?

"Young Madam, Master is waiting for you. Let us help you with these." The maid said, reaching for the bags in Tian Xingyun’s hands.

"Thank you." Tian Xingyun smiled and handed the items to the maid.

Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the side hall with curiosity. Why was he waiting for her?

He was acting very strange today; it definitely wasn’t something good.

Huo Shaohua already knew Tian Xingyun had returned, hearing her footsteps approaching.

He turned off the TV, got up, and walked towards her. Tian Xingyun saw him approaching.

She stopped and waited for him to come closer, seeing his stern expression that clearly implied it wouldn’t be a pleasant conversation.

Huo Shaohua stood beside her, shoulder to shoulder, looking straight ahead and said in a low voice, "Go upstairs."

After saying that, he walked away without waiting for her reply.

"..." Tian Xingyun frowned. What did he want now?

After a few seconds of hesitation, she turned and followed him, bracing herself mentally.

No matter what happened, she wouldn’t be intimidated by him; she had to keep calm for the sake of the baby in her belly.

Upstairs, in his room, he stood with his back to her, silent.

Tian Xingyun took the initiative to ask, "What’s the matter?"

"Where did you go today?"

"Today, Tian Ning came to see me. I asked him to take me to buy some yarn to learn knitting sweaters." Tian Xingyun answered honestly, knowing lying was not an option.

Otherwise, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.

"Who are you knitting the sweater for?"

"For the baby."

"Did you forget what I said yesterday?"

"..."

Huo Shaohua turned around, staring at her with a sharp gaze, "I told you yesterday not to interact with other men. Are you ignoring my words?"

"Tian Ning isn’t just anyone; he’s my brother who grew up with me next door." Tian Xingyun explained, annoyed by Huo Shaohua’s attitude.

"Bullshit brother; I bet you’re still hung up on old feelings!" Huo Shaohua sneered coldly, suspecting the nature of the relationship between Tian Xingyun and Tian Ning.

It was definitely more than just a sibling relationship; they were childhood sweethearts.

If it’s not mutual affection, then what is it?

"Huo Shaohua, watch your mouth!" Tian Xingyun snapped at him angrily.

This man had no shame, speaking in such a humiliating way.
