!"After hanging up the phone, Wen Man stared at the table full of dishes for a long time.After a long while, she slowly sat down and ate her meal in silence.There was still a lot of food left, so she...Ho Xi indeed tasted it.

She lowered her head and stared for a long time, finally using the spoon to... bring it up to her lips.

The icy mung bean paste, originally intended to be cool and refreshing.

But these taste buds detected a hint of bitterness.

Ho Xi tasted the flavor. She first ate very slowly, then faster and faster... Soon she finished a small bowl and looked up to the maid and said: "It's quite delicious."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief.

She took the bowl and said with a smile, "There's one more bowl. You can have it later. Sir said you shouldn't eat too much and to avoid getting cold."

Ho Xi softly hummed in response.

The maid was happy to see her willing to drink. As she left, her steps became much lighter. As she reached for the doorknob, a voice came from behind, "I'd like a bowl of chicken stew with mushrooms later."

The maid turned with delight, saying: "Alright, I'll have the kitchen prepare it right away."

Hoshi was a bit stunned by that look, pretending to lower her head and look at the book in her hand... The maid reminded her: "Miss, you're holding the book upside down."

Huo Xi's face flushed, and she coughed lightly: "I'm doing prenatal education for the child."

……

The maid goes downstairs.

Ho Shaoting put down the magazine in his hand and asked, "Have you eaten" Wen Man was also concerned, and Mianmian and Xiao Zhangrui on the side also pricked up their ears to listen...

The servant spoke succinctly: "I've eaten! It was very good."

She thought about it and then said, "I should know who did it, but I'm not saying anything... Now, I still have to make chicken with mushrooms in the kitchen. Mr. and Mrs., I'll go do some work in the kitchen."

Ho Shaoting was quite pleased: "Finally willing to eat, still Chong..."

The next second he realized something and immediately stopped.

Wen Man knew what he wanted to say, so she only sighed softly and turned to take care of Mian Mian and Rui Rui.

As Rueru walked upstairs, she couldn't help but glance back at the villa.

Outside the villa, there was a black SUV parked.

Zhang Chongguang leaned against the car, the night wind blowing up his shirt collar and hair... He stood there for a long time, until his phone rang.

"

It's a servant from the Huo family calling, his voice a little tense: "Master Chongguang, Miss has eaten, and her appetite is also good. You can rest assured."

"

After the man finished speaking, he immediately hung up, afraid that others might hear him.

He greedily took advantage of Young Master Chongguang's favors and reported to him, in case Mr. and Mrs. knew... It would be terrible!

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he hung up the phone, he saw Huo Shaoting standing at the door.

I don't know how long I listened for.

The servant's hand trembled, his lips quivering for a long time before he dared to speak. He knew Huo Shaoting's strict and disciplined nature...

Ho Shao-ting's gaze was deep.

After a moment, Huo Shaoting walked closer. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and said: "Lao Wu, could you spare a light"

He feigned complaint again: "Your wives are too strict. I dare not even touch a cigarette in front of her. That's right, this pack of cigarettes was secretly given to me by Lu Shuo."

Lao Wu knew it was a safe passage.

His eyes welled up, and he quickly took out his lighter, lighting a cigarette for Huo Shaoting and saying, "Your wife is just concerned about your health."

He Shaoting held a cigarette between his long fingers, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

Between his eyebrows and eyes, there is still the sharpness of his youth.

He patted the maid's shoulder with a smile. "You're right! Oh... don't tell the madam."

Lao Wu quickly assured, "You can rest assured that I won't say anything."

Ho Shaoting stepped out of the kitchen, walking in the deep courtyard under the night sky. The cigarette between his fingers wreathed in a thin veil of gray mist... but his eyes were slightly moist.

It feels like the past is right here before my eyes again.

That year, he brought Chongguang back and told him that this would be his home from now on, that he could call him Dad but also Uncle...

He chose the spotlight. Chongguang thought he was chosen because of his panda blood type, but if he didn't like it, why would he take him home Driven by profit... no matter how expensive or in demand, how many people would be willing

Moreover, there was an accident during his time at Chongguang Primary School.

Excessive blood loss.

That was also the time when Huo Shaoting once transfused 800 milliliters of blood into him. 800 is the limit, if not for treating him like his own son, how could Huo Shaoting, such a cold-hearted person, have done so

Ho Shao-ting walked through the path, and around the corner was where you could see outside of the villa.

Indeed, looking out, I saw a black SUV.

His former son-in-law stood there, looking well; he wasn't smoking.

Ho Shaoting looked for a while, then silently turned his body and walked towards the villa... Zhang Chongguang also saw him over there. His beautiful lips moved slightly, but Ho Shaoting had already entered the house.

That night, Zhang Chongguang stood outside for a long time.

……

Summer is gone, autumn has come.

Zhang Chongguang often makes food and lets Mianmian and Ruier bring it back. Hoxi is willing to eat most of the time, probably for the child in his stomach.

She was willing to eat, and he would delve into researching recipes.

But she still refused to forgive him, unwilling to let him accompany her for prenatal checkups, unwilling to see him... even as labor neared, she didn't want him by her side.

"Daddy, does it hurt to give birth" Mianmian asked.

Zhang Chongguang was momentarily lost in thought, and then he suddenly remembered Huo Xisheng's wise appearance when she gave birth. He had been there in the delivery room, watching as Huo Xi gritted her teeth and paled with pain, clutching his hand tightly.

But when the baby was born, Hoshi smiled gently.

She whispered, "Zhang Chongguang, he looks so cute."

He was lost in thought, Mianmian called him again. Only then did Zhang Chongguang come back to his senses and just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. It was a secret call from the Huo family: "Master Chongguang, Miss may have given birth early."

Zhang Chongguang's hand holding the phone trembled.

He hung up the phone right away and told Mianmian, "Mommy's going to have a baby. We should go over there."

Mianmian is quite nervous.

When she was leaving, she took hold of Zhang Chongguang's little finger… She hadn't been this close and dependent on him for a long, long time since the incident in Melbourne.

Zhang Chongguang's eyes turned red.

He knew Mianmian was afraid, so he gently hugged the little girl and said softly, "Daddy's here!"

The little girl still held onto him.

Zhang Chongguang, fearing a delay, though she was nearly ten years old, he still lifted her up and quickly got into the car... The car drove fast and steadily, he hadn't forgotten Mianmian in the car.hings to her, it was him who refused to acknowledge the child as his own.As Ye Bai was in a daze, Lu You broke free from his grasp and walked into the elevator.Ye Bai didn't stop him.He watched silent...
