Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 686 - 687: Probe 17

Drinking the hot water made her feel warm and comfortable. Unconsciously, her gaze turned towards the bathroom.

From the bathroom came the sound of running water. After about a minute, he withdrew his gaze.

He exhaled lightly. She trusted him too much, didn’t she?

He was very curious. Why did she have such a high level of trust in him?

More than ten minutes later, Tian Xingyun came out of the shower and changed into clean clothes.

She was no longer soaked, and she felt much more spirited.

Then Li Zhiting went into the bathroom to take a shower, with hot steam still lingering in the air.

And there was still a bit of her fragrance...

When Li Zhiting came out of the shower, it was already past five, just in time for dinner.

He took Tian Xingyun to the hotel restaurant to have a simple meal.

Originally, he had planned to take her out for some local specialties after fishing.

But unexpectedly, a sudden heavy rain made it impossible to leave the hotel for dinner.

They could only eat something simple in the restaurant; fortunately, the hotel’s food wasn’t bad.

They ordered more than ten dishes, filling up the whole table.

"You’ve ordered too much; how can we possibly finish this!" Tian Xingyun looked at the table full of food, which was far too much for two people to eat.

"Take your time," Li Zhiting served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you," Tian Xingyun smiled lightly in gratitude.

――

Ziyang finally managed to soothe Tianxin, playing with her in the room.

Outside, the thunder continued to roar, and Tianxin was so scared that she kept hiding in her brother’s arms.

Huo Shaohua smoked outside for a while, but after talking to her on the phone, he felt much better.

He dispersed the smell of smoke from his clothes and returned to the room to soothe his precious daughter.

"Tianxin, how about Daddy holding you?" He reached out to pick her up.

"No, Daddy!" Tianxin snorted coldly, not even giving him a glance.

Her little face was buried in Ziyang’s chest, still mad at her father.

"Tianxin, Daddy was wrong just now. Don’t be mad, let Daddy hold you."

"I don’t want you!"

"..." Huo Shaohua’s expression froze awkwardly. This little girl could hold a grudge.

Ziyang felt even more awkward. He didn’t know whether to hand Tianxin over to the young master or keep holding her...

"Little girl, you’ve even learned to throw a tantrum!" Huo Shaohua withdrew his hand and helplessly watched his daughter.

She had the same temper as her mother!

The rain had lightened a bit when Grandma returned, and the maid had already prepared dinner.

After dinner, Grandma went upstairs to rest, and Ziyang fed Tianxin in the living room.

Tianxin still disliked her father and didn’t want him to feed her.

However, come bedtime, Tianxin was no longer mad.

She wanted Daddy to sleep with her, fussing for a long time to find Mommy.

Huo Shaohua patiently comforted her until she fell asleep.

Father and daughter lay in bed, her small body curled up in his arms.

Huo Shaohua tenderly kissed his daughter’s forehead. The little girl, like her mother, was afraid of thunderstorms.

Speaking of thunderstorms, that woman must be terrified of the thunderstorm and...

Picking up his phone to call her, he found there was no signal!

It infuriated him.

In his mind, he kept repeating to himself, "Trust her!"

――

That night, the thunder and lightning were intense, and Song Yi was so scared she couldn’t sleep!

She finally fell asleep, only to start having nightmares!

This time, there were two children in her dream, and Chen was demanding her life!

She also dreamed of Tian Xingyun stabbing a knife into her heart, killing her!

She woke up with a start, gasping for breath.

Her face pale and lips trembling slightly, she clutched at the blanket, terrified by her dreams.

The fear in her eyes gradually turned into hatred. She wouldn’t allow Tian Xingyun to hurt her.

Not even in a dream!

Afraid to sleep again, she propped herself up on the bed and reached for the phone on the bedside table.

She sent a message to a mysterious person: "I can look for the map, but first you need to teach Tian Xingyun a lesson, give her a warning!"
