Chapter 749, Huo Xi, Do You Pity Me or Sympathize With Me?

Gu Changqing was the most handsome man in the world back then, have you forgotten Do you want me to help you remember"Aunt Ruan struggled to fight back.Gu Changqing let go of Wen Man, he called the s...He spoke to her, his breath warm against her skin, swirling around them both and seeping into her very bones.

Crispy and numb.

Huo Xi thought it was too intimate, turned his face slightly away, and stiffly said, "I haven't finished my soup."

Zhang Chongguang stared at her.

After a while, he leaned in and actually tasted her lips.

He said in a low voice, "Tang talked about it a little, but it's pretty good for postpartum women to drink."

He looked down at her chest, a knowing look in his eyes. There was an unspoken meaning behind those words, the kind that only adults understand - sometimes it's not about what's said, but what's left unsaid.

He pushed against his shoulder, blushing.

She sat down again to drink the soup. Even during her confinement, she was graceful and beautiful due to her good posture since childhood.

Zhang Chongguang looked for a long time, his eyes gentle.

……

The next day, Huo Xi was able to go out after her confinement period, and Zhang Chongguang took her and the children back to the Huo residence.

Let's see, this is the first time he's come in through the front door since the Melbourne incident.

The entire Huo family felt quite touched.

The servants also know that Young Master Chongguang saved the master, and now his status is different from before. However, they heard that he still hasn't remarried. They don't know how to address him, and they feel awkward seeing Zhang Chongguang.

Zhang Chongguang is fine.

He opened the car door and let the two children out. Mianmian and Ruirui ran to see their grandfather. Zhang Chongguang watched them, then turned to Huo Xi and said: "Recently, it seems they've grown quite a bit. Ruirui is almost as tall as Mianmian now."

As he spoke, he carefully helped Huo Xi out of the car.

In the golden autumn of October, the weather has turned slightly cool.

Zhang Chongguang helped to smooth the cloak on his shoulders and said gently, "You go inside with the child first, I'll take the things."

Huo Xi nodded, and Wen Man had already come out to greet him.

After the child was discharged from the hospital, Wen Man never saw them again. Now she missed them very much.

She took a good look at the baby, then at Huo Xi, and finally felt relieved.

All is well!

Zhang Chongguang, just as he always had, called out to his mother. Then, he opened the trunk of the car and took out the gifts, naturally, as if he were still a part of this family, and just like in the past, returning home to visit with his wife and children.

Wen Man's mood was a bit complicated.

She helped Zhang Chongguang carry two things. Zhang Chongguang stopped his movements and smiled sideways: "Thank you, Mom."

Thus, Wen Man's mood became even more complicated.

……

The master bedroom on the second floor, at the east end.

Although Huo Shaoting has recovered mostly, his body is still not quite right and he is still recuperating.

Mianmian and Ruirui lay beside him at the bed, keeping him company by talking softly to him, trying to cheer him up.

Huo Xi held Xiao Xing out for him to see, her face soft and her voice carrying the tenderness that comes with being a mother: "He's gained over three pounds in just over a month, and he's been so well-behaved at night."

Huo Shaoting felt a little relieved.

At this time, Zhang Chongguang also went upstairs and pushed the door open.

He took out two cigarettes and placed them on the bedside table, saying to Huo Shaoting, "These were brought back by people from the company on a business trip in the mountains. They're all natural... I didn't tell Mom."

The atmosphere was thick with tension. Huo Shaoting coughed lightly, "You're leading me into a crime! If Huo Xi's mother found out, it would be disastrous – I might have to spend two months in confinement."

But he always liked it, picking it up and looking at it for a long time before putting it down.

Zhang Chongguang sat down on the sofa beside him and talked with Huo Shaoting about some Middle Eastern affairs.

There's a big project, so he needs to discuss it with Huo Shaoting first.

Probably because male thinking is a bit different, no matter how much Huo Shaoting hated it to the bone, when it came to business, men were very restrained and rational. After about ten minutes, they considered it over.

Ho Shao-ting started teasing Little Ho Xing again.

The nanny brought over a small baby crib and placed little Huo Xing inside. The little guy lay comfortably, his tummy full from eating.

Huo Shaoting's eyes were full of tenderness as he said to Huo Xi, "You're so handsome! With me watching over the child, you and your mother should have a good chat. She's been thinking about you these days."

Her nose twitched slightly, how could she not know

She hummed in response, "I'm going to see Mom."

After she went downstairs, the atmosphere in the living room was a little awkward, and Zhang Chongguang wasn't as relaxed as before... Huo Shaoting smiled slightly: "You must have worked hard taking care of the two of them."

Zhang Chongguang wanted to speak, but found his throat slightly constricted...

Huo Xi went downstairs and asked the servants, finding Wen Man.

Wen Man was busy arranging the small flower hall. They were going to have lunch there at noon. Perhaps it had been a long time since their home had been so lively. As Wen Man inserted the azure roses, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness and stared blankly into space.

He came in just as the scene unfolded.

She knew the reason, so she walked over slowly and gently hugged Wen Man from behind. Her voice was soft; "Mom, I'm fine. I've been doing well lately, you see... I've even put on some weight."

Wen Man felt down, but she didn't want to worry Huo Xi.

She put down what she was doing, pulled Huo Xi down to sit beside her, and asked him about his life recently in detail.

Zhang Chongguang went to the hospital every other day, as he often said, but Wen Man was still uneasy.

"It's really good," Huo Xi smiled faintly, "He didn't force me to do anything."

Wen Man felt a little better.

Later, she hesitated for a moment before asking Huo Xi, "What are you planning to do in a month"

Huo Xi tightened the shawl around her shoulders and whispered, "I think it's time to leave. Mom, some pain can't be healed by time, nor can it be erased by his kindness. I can't forget what happened, and I can't forget what he did to me abroad."

A woman is forced by her lover to do that kind of thing.

She felt nothing.

He tried to find a way for her to accept it.

The more she relished the extreme pleasure, the more nauseous she would feel looking back on it afterward.

Ho Xi said that, Wen Man didn't dissuade.

She is not just Hsi's mother, she is also a woman who can understand that feeling.

She just gently stroked her daughter's hair and murmured softly, "Just do what you like! Your father said, don't say three children is thirty children, our family can afford it."

In her heart, Wen Man also hoped that Zhang Chongguang would be well.

It's not just for the three children, but also because raising a family is a journey.

She didn't say those things.

Outside the door, Zhang Chongguang stood quietly. The small hall was not soundproof, and he had heard every word Wen Man Hoxi said.

Back at the house, he heard and saw all the worries of the Huo family for Huo Xi.

I'm worried she'll be forced into something, that she won't be happy.

No one was truly optimistic about them.

Including Hsi, she also said she was leaving, even though he had known it all along his heart still ached painfully at that moment.

Zhang Chongguang smiled faintly.

He didn't go in right away, but walked to an empty hallway and took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. He trembled as he lit one, taking several puffs. His long fingers still shook.

Zhang Chongguang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

Maybe Hsi never forgives him, even unto death.

Autumn is deep, through a pane of glass, the newly planted flowers outside are in full bloom, making the man's complexion even more dull.aoting, when you think of us, call us and Huo Xi will come see you!"Her voice was broken.Because she knew, the time he could remember her was very, very little!He Shao-ting closed his eyes in pain.Wen...
