The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 9: Concern from Mom

The smile on Gu Qingyin's lips faded. She looked over and saw a woman in a professional suit striding towards her. She didn't even glance at her, but smiled at Huo Xingye, "Good morning, President Huo. Just let me deal with this woman."

A question mark slowly appeared above Gu Qingyin's head, and he also looked at Huo Xingye, "Your girlfriend?"

"My secretary Bai Jiali." Huo Xingye introduced: "This is Gu Qingyin, my...family member."

Gu Qingyin looked too young, so no one would believe her if she said she was his mother. Besides, mother was family, so he didn’t lie.

While Huo Xingye was comforting himself in his heart, he glanced at Gu Qingyin out of the corner of his eye. He was relieved to see that she looked normal and was not angry about it. But the next moment he felt a little unhappy again. Why wasn't she angry when his introduction was so vague?

Bai Jiali's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she looked at Gu Qingyin apologetically, "So you are Mr. Huo's family. I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

She took a step forward, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she pushed Gu Qingyin aside, raised her hand to press the elevator, and then smiled and looked back: "Please come in."

Gu Qingyin blinked and felt something was wrong.

This female secretary was very hostile to her. Had they met before? Was there any enmity?

Huo Xingye looked at Gu Qingyin and said, "Let's go."

Huo Xingye followed Gu Qingyin after she entered the elevator. He took the lunch box and asked casually, "What did you bring?"

Gu Qingyin laughed again, "Crab roe soup dumplings and mixed noodles, and the flower tea I made myself, to help relieve the greasiness."

Bai Jiali was the last one to get on the elevator. She stood at the door with her back to the two of them as soon as she came in. She couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard what was said.

The girls nowadays are really clever, they even chased her to the company. Mr. Huo is really something, he can still indulge her. What about family? Canary also be called a human being? Sooner or later, she will be dumped by the CEO.

"Did you make the soup dumplings and mixed noodles too?" Huo Xingye didn't show it on his face, but his tone revealed a hint of anticipation.

Gu Qingyin was a little embarrassed, "No, I'm not very good at cooking. I can only make tea."

Huo Xingye was a little disappointed, but he still comforted her: "It's great that you can make tea."

Bai Jiali clenched her fists. Why was the CEO so gentle to Gu Qingyin? She was just a little thing kept by a man. Why did she do that?

It's not her fault that she was defeated. It's just that she has been with Huo Xingye for almost two years and has never seen him look at any member of the opposite sex! Could the president really like this Canary? !
Thinking of this, Bai Jiali couldn't help but turn red.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the sixteenth floor.

Gu Qingyin got out of the elevator and sighed in confusion, "It's not on the top floor!" In the novels she had read before, the domineering president's office must be on the top floor so that they could overlook their business empire.

"It's easier to coordinate work at the middle level," Huo Xingye explained.

Gu Qingyin suddenly understood.

"Mr. Huo, there is a multinational meeting at nine o'clock that needs you to host." Bai Jiali looked at Gu Qingyin with some embarrassment, "This Miss Gu..."

"I'll arrange it, you go and get busy." Huo Xingye ordered indifferently.

The smile on Bai Jiali's lips froze for a moment, then she nodded politely and returned to her workstation. In addition to the president's office, there was also a president's office on the 16th floor that was dedicated to coordinating the various departments, with nearly 20 secretaries and special assistants with different responsibilities.

Bai Jiali is just one of them.

Bai Jiali saw Huo Xingye bringing Gu Qingyin into the office. The president came out for a meeting at nine o'clock, but he actually left the woman alone in the office! What if she had bad intentions and stole the group's commercial secrets?
The president believes her so much?!
Bai Jiali's defense was broken again.

At this time, Gu Qingyin was half lying on the leather sofa to rest - the crab roe soup dumplings were so delicious that she ate too much accidentally and felt a little uncomfortable.

While rubbing her stomach to aid digestion, she thought worriedly that Huo Xingye's appetite was too small and he ate less than half as much as she did. Could her son have stomach problems at such a young age?
Gu Qingyin sighed. Her poor son had to shoulder such an important responsibility at such a young age. It was not easy! Those two brats didn't even know how to stay in the company to help out. They only knew how to exploit the boss!

Just now while having breakfast, Huo Xingye briefly mentioned to her about his two younger brothers.

The second son, Huo Xinghai, loves the stage. He participated in a talent show right after graduating from high school. He became an instant hit with his outstanding looks and extraordinary talent for songwriting.

He is currently in seclusion on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, working on his second original album.

The third child, Huo Xingchen, is an e-sports fan. He has been working part-time since his first year in high school, playing e-sports while attending school. Fortunately, he has a good brain and talent, and was admitted to a good university and successfully entered the e-sports major.

At the beginning of this semester, my teacher took me abroad for training. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take more than three months for me to come back.

Therefore, in the short term, Gu Qingyin will not be able to meet her other two sons in real life. However, one of the brothers is a public figure and the other is a semi-public figure. There is a lot of information about them on the Internet, so there is no worry about not seeing them.

When Huo Xingye came back from the meeting, he saw Gu Qingyin sitting in the boss chair holding her phone and laughing. He frowned, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Qingyin's eyes sparkled with pride, "My son was so handsome on Xinghai's New Year's Day stage!" Although they are triplets, the three sons do not have the same face, but are handsome in their own way, and the second son looks exactly like her.

Huo Xingye's eyebrows relaxed a little after hearing this. "Have you been watching videos on your phone? Aren't your eyes tired?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. After it was mentioned, Gu Qingyin did feel her eyes a little dry. When she looked at the time again, it was already five minutes past eleven!
"Does every meeting take this long?" Gu Qingyin put away her phone and sat up straight. "Are you hungry? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

Huo Xingye's expression remained unchanged, but his voice became much gentler, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Gu Qingyin frowned slightly in disapproval, "I heard that the food in the company cafeteria is delicious, take me to try it?"

Huo Xingye paused, looking a little strange. It was almost nine o'clock when she finished breakfast. Now it was only two hours. She was hungry again? She ate more than him in the morning!
"You don't want to go?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Qingyin frowned even more tightly, "No matter how busy you are at work, you can't miss your meals. If you don't eat well, you will get stomach problems."

Huo Xingye was stunned again, and then realized that Gu Qingyin was concerned about her.

Instantly, his whole demeanor softened, with a happy smile in his eyes. "I'm in good health. Let's go later. The dishes haven't been served yet."

"Okay." Gu Qingyin responded, and stood up and walked to the door, "I'll go to the tea room to get you something to eat."

After Gu Qingyin left, Huo Xingye stared at the empty doorway, raised his hand and slowly pressed his chest, thinking to himself, is this the feeling of being cared for by my mother?

It was as if he was soaked in melted syrup, wrapping him in warmth from all sides.
