she came to her senses, she couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! She's really something. Gu Changqing is such a jerk! These two scumbags are a perfect match."She was afraid that Wen Man would be unhapp...Ho Xi's face was pressed against the pillow.
After a moment, she softly said, “Dad, I’m getting a little tired. Could you talk to him for a few days”
Huo Shaoting didn't say anything. He just quickly packed up Little Huo Xing and put him in the baby stroller... The newborn, who had just been born, opened his eyes and couldn't see things 20 centimeters away. He just kept staring with his dark eyes and shaking his little head.
He couldn't help but kiss the few hairs on top of her head.
Xiao Huo Xing was different from other children. When he was born, he had a little bit of hair, which was deep brown and curly.
It should have been inherited by Wen Man.
Even though the child came about that way, Huo Shaoting still liked him.
He looked for a long time before he walked out.
Outside the door, Zhang Chongguang was waiting. When he saw Huo Shaoting come out, he hurried over. The word "Dad" remained unsaid. Instead, he asked: “How is Huo Xi Is she willing to see me”
Ho Shaoting doesn't like to talk to him.
He looked at him for a moment. "Hoxie said a few days ago, right"
Zhang Chongguang felt a slight disappointment, but he quickly said: “My parents have been busy taking care of things here these days. Mianmian and Ruirui will stay with me first. I… won't be busy this month.”
He Shao-ting agreed, but in the end he added: "Let's not call it that!"
Zhang Chongguang remained silent.
Ho Shaoting felt a complicated mix of emotions. In the past, they were as close as father and son, but now their interactions were polite and distant… But what could he do He had several children and couldn't simply cut them off completely.
As they were talking, Huo Yunsi and his wife arrived.
Brought refreshments to Huo Xi.
An Ran went in first, Huo Yunsi followed behind, still couldn't help but glare at Zhang Chongguang fiercely.
Now Zhang Chongguang has no status in the Huo family. Staying here is not a solution. Besides, Mianmian and Ruirui went back first, so now it's just in the villa.
He stood silently at the door for a while, then said his farewells and left first.
……
A week later, before Hsi was discharged from the hospital, she met Zhang Chongguang.
Wen Man had been taking care of things inside. When Zhang Chongguang came over, she moved out of the way.
Leaving, she whispered, "She just gave birth, Chongguang, don't agitate her!"
Zhang Chongguang's throat tightened: "Mom, I know."
Wen Man thought about it for a while, but ultimately didn't say anything. She just turned back to Huo Xi and said, "I'm going to talk to the doctor, then we can go home after finishing the paperwork."
Ho Xi leaned against the headboard and nodded gently.
Wen Man left, and Zhang Chongguang's gaze fell on Huo Xi. Her complexion wasn't good; it was obvious that childbirth had taken a toll on her vitality. Perhaps it would take a year or two to recover.
Zhang Chongguang's throat tightened: "Huo Xi."
Huo Xi was very calm, she also looked at him and softly said: "The child is over there, you go take a look. But she's asleep now, don't wake her up."
Zhang Chongguang, however, could not move.
He looked deeply at his former wife, the woman who had given birth to their three children. He tried to make amends, perhaps from the moment they divorced he had never stopped wanting to reconcile.
"Hoseki, let me take care of you. I won't do things you don't like."
"Children also need their fathers."
……
Even though Rao Si kept telling herself to stay calm, after all their relationship had long since ended completely, she couldn't help but retort when she heard this, her tone slightly cold: "What have you been doing all this time"
Zhang Chongguang's eyes darkened: "It's my fault."
He still craved, craved that she would give him a chance.
The atmosphere is tense...
After a long, long time, finally Huo Xi Kai spoke.
She composed herself and said softly, “Zhang Chongguang, I know what you’re thinking. You think that because of the three children, I will eventually soften my heart, so you've been courting me for the past six months. But Zhang Chongguang, we grew up together, understanding each other better than anyone else. What possibility do you think there is between us Maintaining this dignity is all I can offer you.”
Zhang Chongguang's face was pale, even paler than Huo Xi who had just given birth.
He carefully digested what Huo Xi had said.
When she looked up again, her eyes returned to their usual tenderness: "Okay, I understand!"
Ho Xi knew he hadn't given up, but she was helpless.
Since she was a child, in her marriage with Zhang Chongguang, she couldn't do things her own way. She turned her face toward the crib and whispered, "Don't you want to see the baby"
Zhang Chongguang hummed in agreement.
He walked to the crib and gazed intently at the little baby. The babe, plump and white, was sleeping soundly, breathing in a sweet, fragrant way.
She is very cute.
Zhang Chongguang couldn't help but look at Huo Xi: "You look a lot like you did when you were a child."
Huoxi just smiled faintly and didn't respond, Zhang Chongguang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed again.
Just then, Xiao Huo Xing started to cry.
Her little face was flushed, and her two white and tender legs kicked powerfully...Daddy couldn't help but pick her up. He checked with one hand and found she wasn't peeing.
Zhang Chongguang looked at Huo Xi: "He might be hungry."
After that, the atmosphere became a bit awkward because while they were hungry and needed to be fed milk, they had already divorced. This topic was too sensitive.
Huo Xi started breastfeeding her baby on the third day after delivery.
At this point, Zhang Chongguang said softly, "Carry her over here."
Zhang Chongguang's heart pounded in his chest, he carefully took the earth-shattering crying baby into Xi Huo's arms. When taking the child, the two of them inevitably came into some contact.
He hadn't touched her in ages, and now even this slight brush against her through her clothes sent a jolt through him. He couldn't help but speak her name: "Huo Xi."
Ho Xi gently held the child...
She paused for a moment. “Go back first! I’ve said what I needed to.”
They were close, and now between them was their child, a living testament to their shared past. Zhang Chongguang, overcome with emotion, impulsively reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder before leaning in closer. "Xiao Xi, don't do this. Please give me another chance. I won't…"
He couldn't go on.
Because of Huo Xi's presence beneath her hand, his body was stiff as a board, his entire being resisting his touch.
Originally, during my time in Geneva and Melbourne,
Even after half a year,
She did not forget, nor could she let go and find peace, nor had she forgiven him.
She had always harbored resentment towards him, for his coercion of her in the past.
Zhang Chongguang felt a deep sadness in his heart. He didn't insist anymore, very gently letting go of her, his voice soft: "You feed the child, I'll leave first."
He said nothing, waiting for him to leave.
Zhang Chongguang took a few steps back and gave the child one last, lingering look before walking out.
The corridor outside the intensive care unit was eerily quiet, the only sound the crisp tap of his leather shoes... Suddenly, Zhang Chongguang couldn't even bear the sound of his own shoes.
He walked to the end of the hallway, in a deserted place, and lit a cigarette with trembling hands.
He quit smoking, but occasionally gets a cigarette when he's feeling stressed.
A thin veil of gray smoke rose, and through the haze, Zhang Chongguang's eyes glistened with moisture.
He didn't go back to the ward, he just bowed his head and scrolled through his phone.
As soon as I opened my phone, a major breaking news alert popped up. At 9 am this morning, a serious traffic accident occurred on a certain road in city B. Multiple vehicles were involved in a chain-reaction collision, and one of them was an ambulance from the blood transfusion center. According to reports, multiple people were killed or injured in the accident, including a celebrity - Huo Shaoting, former president of the Huo Group.
Zhang Chongguang brushed past others, his face pale. and handed it to Huo Shaoting: "Here, this has the answers you need!"Ho Shao-ting opened it, his eyes fixed.He was a legal professional, and before opening this file, he had never imagined himself do...
