Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 818 - 819: Thirty-Six Stratagems to Win Her Back (29)
She’s grown up, and she won’t insist on having Xingyun’s Mom accompany her like she did when she was little.
It’s great if Xingyun’s Mom can go, but if she can’t... she can understand.
"Of course I can, I definitely have to attend Ke’er’s parent-teacher meeting." Tian Xingyun agreed readily, as Ke’er has considered her a mother since she was little.
As she grew up, she gradually learned the fact of her parents’ death, so she started calling Li Zhiting ’Dad’.
She really wants to call her ’Mom’, but she doesn’t dare to because of the Huo Family.
"Really?" Ke’er was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course it’s true. My Ke’er is so outstanding, I want to hear the teacher praise you in front of all the students’ parents."
"Xingyun’s Mom, I’m not that outstanding." Ke’er smiled bashfully.
"In Xingyun’s Mom’s heart, Ke’er is the most outstanding!"
"Xingyun’s Mom, I love you the most! See you tomorrow!"
"Mm, see you tomorrow."
"Bye-bye~" Ke’er hung up the phone, happily rolling around on the bed a few times.
Xingyun’s Mom promised her to attend the parent-teacher meeting, so happy~

After returning home, Tian Xingyun changed her clothes and went to the garden to tend to the flowers.
These flowers were planted by Grandma when she was alive, and she works hard to keep them growing well.
While weeding in the garden, weeds had grown a lot because she hadn’t personally tended to them recently.
By the time she finished pulling out the weeds, it was already time for dinner.
At dinner time, the father and daughter still hadn’t come back!
Sitting in the dining room, she called him on the phone, but no one answered.
Then she called Ziyang, who answered quickly.
"Mommy~" Tianxin’s very happy voice.
"Tianxin, it’s time for you to come home!" Tian Xingyun was exasperated, wondering if her daughter was having too much fun outside to want to come home.
"No way, I’m playing at Brother Ziyang’s classmate’s house, there’s so much to eat!"
"Tianxin, you can’t always cling to Brother Ziyang, you know?"
"Mommy, I like being with Brother Ziyang!"
"Hurry and come home!" Tian Xingyun sighed softly, feeling bored without her daughter at home.
Without her daughter at home, the house was so quiet it felt unsettling.
"Mommy, I’m going to eat now, bye-bye~"
"Tianxin!" Tian Xingyun smiled speechlessly, her daughter really had become willful as she grew up!
It’s all because he spoiled her, whenever she scolded, he would protect their daughter.
Tonight’s dinner was just the three of them: her, Housekeeper Liu, and Aunt Liu.
Huo Shaohua didn’t come home until past ten at night, flopping onto bed exhausted as soon as he got back.
Tian Xingyun felt heartache seeing how tired he looked, dealing with clients must be exhausting.
These days, clients are not so easy to handle.
"I’ve prepared the bath for you, go soak and relax a bit." She walked to the wardrobe, opening the door to get clothes for him to wear later.
"Thank you, honey." Huo Shaohua sat up, taking off his jacket.
"Was the company really busy today?" She went to the company today and saw that everyone was very busy.
With the staff that busy, he must’ve been even busier.
"Yeah, it was really busy, I was working overtime at the company until now."
"You’ve been working overtime at the company until now?" Tian Xingyun paused a second while getting clothes, turning her head to look at him.
"Yeah, there were so many things to do, I’ve been busy until now, and I haven’t had dinner yet, could you make me some late-night food?" Huo Shaohua took off his shirt, tossed it on the bed, and walked toward the bathroom.
Tian Xingyun stood holding his clothes, not speaking, biting her lower lip as she watched him walk into the bathroom.
He’s lying!
He definitely wasn’t at the company, so why did he say he was working overtime there until now?
Andy said he went out to entertain clients, yet now he’s saying he was working overtime at the company.
Why is he lying to hide from her?
He surely didn’t go back to the company, that’s why he didn’t know she went there, and told her he’d been working overtime there.
