Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey - Chapter 35
Chapter 35: Defending Huo Jiantian
“Mwah…I won’t do it again, I promise I won’t do it again…” Huo Jiantian’s eyes flowed with tears. He looked extremely pitiful and sorrowful.
No matter how woeful he sounded as he continued to cry, Huo Yunmo didn’t fall for it at all. In fact, he started spanking his butt more and more forcefully.
“Mwah…a child without a mother is pitiful. Mother, why did you die so early? You left me alone in the world. If you had known beforehand, you should have just taken me with you… Ugh… Dad doesn’t like me… He hates me… He wants to kill me…!” Huo Jiantian started crying even louder and more miserably.
Ye Anxin, who really hadn’t wanted to intervene, was suddenly overcome with pity for him. She rushed forward and snatched Huo Jiantian away from Huo Yunmo’s evil clutches.
Holding onto Huo Jiantian, Ye Anxin squatted on the ground and wiped away his tears. She then reprimanded Huo Yunmo in an angry tone of voice, “Hey…what’s the matter with you? He is your biological son, so do you really want to kill him? He’s still young, so just teach him a more age-appropriate lesson. How can you beat him like that? How cruel of you!”
“Who asked you to stick your nose in our business. You just get out right now!” Huo Yunmo yelled this as he looked at Ye Anxin for the first time. When he caught sight of her appearance, the anger in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by surprise instead.
Ye Anxin hugged Huo Jiantian. Then she stood up and said in anger, “Mr. Huo, although Tiantian was wrong for not going to school and rushing into your office without knocking, it is also wrong of you to beat a child. What’s more, Tiantian is already a child to be pitied for not having a mother. Instead of beating him, why don’t you try to love him even more and give him all the maternal love that his mother never gave him? Children are very fragile and sensitive, so how can you beat him so easily? That could give his young, fragile heart a huge trauma. If you hit him again, believe it or not, but I will call the police.”
Ye Anxin was so angry that she blabbered out everything in one breath.
Although she had never liked to be nosy and stick her nose into other people’s business, the little guy had been crying so sorrowfully moments before that she got a heartache just from seeing him cry.
Without answering a single word, Huo Yunmo simply watched her little mouth blabber on and on.
While Ye Anxin reprimanded Huo Yunmo, Huo Jiantian took advantage of her distracted state and made a face toward Huo Yunmo as he motioned toward Ye Anxin with his chin. He looked absolutely triumphant as he looked at his dad with an extremely smug expression on his face.
Ye Anxin caressed Huo Jiantian’s tear-stained face and asked him with anguish in her voice, “Tiantian, does it still hurt? Tell sister, and if it hurts sister will take you to the doctor.”
Huo Jiantian shook his head, pouted, and said with a choked sob, “Sister, it doesn’t hurt anymore. He is my dad, so he should beat me when I do something wrong. Please don’t blame my dad, and please don’t call the police to arrest him.”
Huo Yunmo’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch twice when he heard these words.
Ye Anxin verified again, “It really doesn’t hurt?”
Huo Jiantian nodded and replied, “It really doesn’t hurt.”
“Then that’s good. I’m so glad.” Ye Anxin breathed a sigh of relief, then she put him down on the ground cautiously, and walked up to Huo Yunmo. She said with disdain, “Mr. Huo, did you see that? Tiantian treats you as his closest family. When I said that I would call the police, he was extremely worried about you. Don’t hit such an obedient and understanding child again in the future. Otherwise, you will end up regretting it later.”
Huo Yunmo didn’t answer and simply continued to stare at her in the same manner.
Upon seeing that he didn’t answer her, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but raise the volume of her voice a little bit, “Did you hear what I said?”
After a while, Huo Yunmo nodded stiffly.
The moment he nodded, he clearly saw that behind Ye Anxin, Huo Jiantian was cheering and applauding and almost leaping up with joy.
