Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 172 - 173 Returning to Parent’s Home 1

Huo Shaohua furrowed his brows while staring at that piece of fatty meat and said, "You eat it yourself, I can’t stomach it!"

Such fatty meat was truly hard to swallow.

"You don’t appreciate good food, I’ll eat it myself." Tian Xingyun pouted, looking slightly disappointed, then threw the pork belly into her mouth and ate it.

"..." Huo Shaohua lost his appetite upon seeing her eat the fatty meat.

"Why did you come home for lunch today?" Tian Xingyun asked curiously. He almost never came home for lunch.

It was a bit strange that he suddenly came back to eat.

"Got tired of the company food."

"The kitchen made a lot of dishes today, you should eat more."

"You didn’t go out today?" Huo Shaohua looked at the TV, but kept an eye on her every move from the corner of his eye.

Did she know Tian Ning went for an interview at the company? Did they plan it together?

If they planned it together, what was their motive?

"Didn’t you say I’m not allowed to go out?" Tian Xingyun replied.

"Are you really that obedient?" Huo Shaohua raised an eyebrow, not believing her.

"I’ve always been very obedient, my dear husband!" Tian Xingyun smiled at him, then continued eating her meal.

She had spent the morning working in the garden, then reading and learning to knit.

Time passed like that, and soon it was lunchtime.

Then he came back.

"Eat more." Huo Shaohua smiled, putting the chicken from his bowl into hers.

He believed she hadn’t gone out; if she had, the maid would have reported it to him.

He was just trying to find out if she had been in contact with Tian Ning.

Judging by her earlier behavior, she didn’t seem to know about Tian Ning’s interview at the Huo Family company.

"Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?" Tian Xingyun frowned at him, leaning away to maintain some distance.

This man has been acting too weird lately! What’s his plot?

"What do you mean?" Huo Shaohua was taken aback, finding her question baffling.

"You’ve been acting strange these past few days, suddenly being so nice to me!" Tian Xingyun narrowed her eyes and looked directly into his eyes, voicing her confusion.

"I’m not being nice to you, I’m being nice to the baby." Huo Shaohua paused, then quickly found an excuse.

Now that she mentioned it, he indeed had been treating her differently these past few days.

He didn’t like this change, it made him uncomfortable.

"Oh." Tian Xingyun responded sullenly, feeling a bit down but without knowing exactly why.

So, the reason he’s been so nice to her these past few days was because of the baby.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, neither of them spoke any further.

Only the sound of the TV remained.

After a while, Tian Xingyun composed herself and asked, "Can I go back to Huatan Village for a few days?"

She hadn’t been home for a long time, she really missed it.

She missed everything in Huatan Village, especially the scent of the flowers.

"No!" Huo Shaohua rejected her decisively. He couldn’t allow her to go back to Huatan Village.

Letting her go back would give her and Tian Ning the chance to be alone together.

Absolutely not allowed to happen.

"Why not? I haven’t been home for a long time." Tian Xingyun looked at him angrily, why wasn’t she allowed to go home?

"It’s inconvenient with the baby."

"Very convenient! I’m in great health."

"I said no, just stay home and behave." Huo Shaohua stood up to leave, his bowl already empty.

"..." Tian Xingyun bit her lip in frustration, eating big mouthfuls of food to vent her anger.

Huo Shaohua rested for a while before heading back to work at the company.

After finishing her meal, Tian Xingyun went upstairs for a nap. Lately, she would feel sleepy as long as she was full.

Huo Shaohua had just sat down in his office when Hu Yuxi lazily walked in and sat directly on the sofa.

"I heard you hired Tian Ning?" Hu Yuxi asked, looking at Huo Shaohua.
