t go as planned, Zhang's secretary's flight had a malfunction and was delayed.She called Huo Shaoting in the waiting area, but Huo Shaoting turned off his phone during the trial.He didn't receive a me...Knowing each other for 32 years, 32 gifts, one per year.

Huo Xi one by one opened them, some were watch faces, some were jewelry... Some might just be a small paper note with heartfelt words, and some contained a single maple leaf.

The last gift, what's inside is a little heavy.

Upon opening, it is a spherical glass orb.

That was a gift Huo Xi wanted to give her at his company's anniversary, but they had an argument and she broke it… He actually glued it back together and sent it back to her, but what did he mean by doing that

Huo Xi sat on the rug, his eyes glistening.

The fetus in her womb, it seemed, could sense her emotions and kept moving.

Huo Xi reached out and gently stroked her. She was now seven months along, and they already knew it was a little girl.

Xiaohuxing, in two months he will be born.

It is in the golden September.

With her mother's soothing, little Huo Xing slowly calmed down and seemed to be sleeping peacefully again. Huo Xi looked down at him with tenderness in his eyes.

The phone lying aside rang.

The caller is a stranger, but actually not a stranger. It's Zhang Chongguang's number.

Ho Xi did not block him.

She thought about it for a moment and picked up the phone. The person on the other end seemed surprised, taking a long time to speak in a hoarse voice: "Huo Xi, happy birthday."

Ho Xi fell silent for a moment.

She said to him, "I received your gifts, but Zhang Chongguang, I won't accept these… Our relationship…"

He gently interrupted her, "You want to say again that there's nothing between us, don't you! But Ho Xi, I think you still have feelings for me, otherwise you wouldn't have opened it up to look."

On both ends of the line, breaths were heavy with unspoken desire.

After a long silence, Huo Xi spoke softly, “You’re overthinking it! I'll have those gifts returned.”

She hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

She was still saddened, constantly thinking of those things. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the night view... One by one, golden roses bloomed before her, illuminating the entire night sky.

Even fireworks, he set off 32.

Huoxi stood quietly, tears welling up in the corner of her eyes without her realizing it.

She cried, not from being touched, but from the grief of her past love.

A slender figure stood downstairs.

He was wearing his favorite white shirt and black casual pants, his handsome face looking noble in the night. He stood in the midst of smoke and fire, a half-smoked cigarette still between his fingers.

He looked up at her, his eyes full of affection.

He knew she saw him.

Huo Xi suddenly hated him very much. She picked up her phone and dialed his number. Seeing the surprised expression on his face, he hurriedly answered the call.

When Huo Xi said those words, he didn't feel good about it himself.

She said, "Zhang Chongguang, it's useless! Now no matter what you do I feel nothing... because whenever I see you, I constantly remember the scene of you kissing Song Yun. Your touch on her body, her intoxicated expression, and your bright eyes. Zhang Chongguang, it's useless... I will never forget those scenes for the rest of my life, and we can never start over."

After she finished speaking, she stared at him.

Under the moonlight, Zhang Chongguang's face was pale, and he trembled as he said: "Then I beg you! Huo Xi, I beg you to forget."

Ho Xi lowered her eyes: How could I forget!

She gently hung up the phone and drew the curtains, rejecting his advances.

She piled the gifts in the corner, and if he didn't take them by morning, she would have them thrown away... Deep into the night, Huo Xi couldn't sleep. She paced back and forth, supporting her swollen belly.

She was thinking about many things for tomorrow, but she felt something was missing.

Finally, her gaze fell on the angle where that little glass glowed faintly in the dim light... And downstairs, Zhang Chongguang stood silently in the darkness, murmuring: "Ho Xi, happy birthday."

By the time he turned 32, they had been together for less than half of his life.

Most of the time, they were apart... He thought, every year on this day he would celebrate her birthday, whether or not she forgave him.

……

Early in the morning.

Huo Xi got up early and prepared to leave the hotel. She had a prenatal checkup in the morning.

When she left, she saw things piled up in the corner.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally called the front desk to have it taken away. He instructed them to give it to Zhang Chongguang and wrote down his contact information.

The front desk girl counted those things one by one and packed them well.

She was flabbergasted: how much money would these things cost He must be swimming in cash.

Huo Xi got into the car and called Huo Shaoting: "Dad, I'm going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup first."

Huo Xi wasn't alone. She was used to having her assistant accompany her, it was more convenient. After the checkup, the doctor showed her an ultrasound and said that the baby was very healthy.

The colored ultrasound image already shows the general shape of a child.

"So pretty!"

The doctor was an acquaintance of the Huo family. At first, she was worried that Huo Xi wouldn't like the child and that it would upset her. However, Huo Xi took good care of herself and the child was also well-raised, so she felt reassured.

Ho Xi looked silently for a long time, she smiled slightly.

The assistant standing nearby peeked and thought the child looked just like their father, but didn't dare say it.

As Ho-xi walked out of the clinic, his gaze paused.

She saw Zhang Chongguang standing at the entrance of the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic. He was still wearing the same clothes from last night, carrying a large bag in his hand. It looked like the 32 presents.

Huo Xi thought he was here to give gifts again and lightly said, “I don’t want these.”

Zhang Chongguang gazed at her, for a long time, his eyes then shifting to the assistant's hand.

He whispered, "Come for a prenatal checkup"

He Xi nodded, and then Zhang Chongguang asked again: "Super single... can I take a look now"

The assistant looked at Holly, waiting for her instructions.

Hosei still said calmly, "You can take a look!" After finishing his words, she walked towards the elevator first, clearly not softening her heart towards him.

Although there was an assistant present, Zhang Chongguang still couldn't help but gently squeeze her hand. His voice was low and husky: "Huo Xi, let's talk."

Ho Xi's gaze fell on his palm.

After a moment of silence, she softly asked him, "Zhang Chongguang, I want to ask you, what do you want Do you think it's possible for me to return to your side"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "After going through all that, I'd be so heartbroken to still be with you. Zhang Chongguang, there's more to life than just love, there are many other things worth cherishing... Letting go is good for both of us."

Zhang Chongguang listened quietly as she spoke.

Before he could respond,

Ho Xi gently pulled away his hand and walked towards the elevator.

The assistant shoved a piece of paper into Zhang Chongguang's hand and hurried after him.

Zhang Chongguang's fingers trembled slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down... He looked down at the colorful ultrasound picture. The child's face was almost completely visible, a very beautiful child.

At this moment, his phone buzzed with a message.

At first glance, it was Huo Xifa's. There were only a few short words: [Her name is Huo Xing.]

Zhang Chongguang savored these two characters, his face instantly paling...e was a man.But she always had to pay a price. As soon as she went out, he pinned her against the wall. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his warm breath tickling the tender skin behind her ear...
