Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 1158 - 1160: Picking a Date for the Engagement

Ziyang’s kiss was passionate, a sign of how long it had been since he last saw Tianxin.

Tianxin’s fervent response only intensified his desire, and he swept her into his arms, heading towards the bed before they both crumpled onto it.

They held each other, lost in a passionate embrace, clearly missing one another deeply.

"Knock, knock~"

"Tianxin, you're back?" Tian Xingyun’s voice called out from beyond the door.

Ziyang and Tianxin both froze instantly, holding their breath, terrified of any sound escaping the room and alerting Tian Xingyun.

"Tianxin?" Tian Xingyun inquired again, receiving no answer from her daughter.

Hadn't the maid mentioned Tianxin’s return?

Why the silence? Could she possibly not be in her room?!

"Mom, I’m here!" Tianxin pushed Ziyang away and sat up.

Ziyang reluctantly sat up as well, though he hadn’t actually intended to go any further with Tianxin at that moment.

It was just that their moment had been abruptly interrupted... leaving him undeniably annoyed...

"Now that you’re back, head to sleep quickly. Don’t linger by the front gate anymore! Understood?" Tian Xingyun instructed her daughter with a tone of maternal concern.

It was a known habit of Tianxin’s to wait by the front gate, hoping to catch sight of Ziyang!

"Okay, I understand." Tianxin nodded, inwardly wishing for her mother to depart swiftly.

Otherwise, discovering Ziyang in her room would be an absolute disaster!

"Head to sleep now, don’t stay up too late!" Tian Xingyun said with a knowing look before turning to leave.

"I know, good night, Mom." Tianxin replied, a slight frown on her face as she found her mother's words rather peculiar.

"Silly girl." Ziyang chuckled, reaching out to affectionately ruffle Tianxin’s hair.

"Why are you calling me names?" Tianxin turned her head, pouting slightly as she looked at him with mild dissatisfaction.

"Madam was simply advising us to be mindful and get our rest early!" Ziyang explained the implied meaning of her mother’s words.

It seemed Madam already knew he was in Tianxin’s room, yet she hadn't entered to disturb them.

Her knock was merely a gentle reminder for them to be sensible!

"What? Mom knew you were in my room?" Tianxin exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening.

"Yes." Ziyang confirmed with a nod.

"No wonder Mom said those odd things; she was reminding us." Tianxin giggled shyly, finally grasping her mother’s intended message.

They had entered the house openly, so it was natural for her mother to be aware.

If her mother knew, then her father must also be aware of Brother Yang's return.

The fact that her father hadn't shown himself but her mother had appeared suggested that her mother had successfully swayed her father’s opinion.

If Father wasn’t opposed, she could finally relax, because with Mother’s support, Father’s objections would be futile anyway!

"Since when did you become so slow-witted."

"It’s because I think about Brother Yang every single day; my brain cells can’t keep up, so my IQ must have dropped!" Tianxin laughed, embracing Ziyang with newfound confidence.

With her father’s opposition gone, she felt a profound sense of peace and could finally be with Brother Yang without any worries!

"I think about my Tianxin every day as well." Ziyang tightly hugged the young woman, lowering his head to kiss her hair.

Now, he too could finally be with her at ease~

Tian Xingyun returned to her chamber and secured the door, her gaze falling upon Huo Shaohua, who was engrossed in documents on the sofa.

After refreshing herself in the bathroom, she emerged with her skincare products and settled beside him.

"Honey, let’s schedule a date for Ziyang and Tianxin’s engagement. This way, Ziyang can return to the company sooner to assist you, and we can put an end to the whispers and gossip." Tian Xingyun stated as she applied her skincare. Although Tianxin wasn't of legal marriageable age, an engagement would suffice for now.

It was better to be open about their relationship than to allow rumors to fester!

While the Huo Family wasn't overly concerned with public opinion, taking steps to preemptively quash rumors was prudent!

Given the significant age gap between Ziyang and Tianxin, their union would undoubtedly attract considerable gossip!

Tianxin herself wasn't bothered, and as parents, they had nothing to fear.

They wholeheartedly supported their daughter’s choice, and moreover, Ziyang was an exceptionally outstanding young man!

He was truly flawless in every regard!
