hangqing didn't mind. He just wanted her by his side! He believed that it would only take a while for her to return to her obedient self.She should forget about that inappropriate flirtation she had w...Later for a period of time, Lu You did not see Zhang Baiyan again.

But when she arrived at the Huo residence, she heard Huo Xi mention his news. After listening, she was slightly stunned—

After that, would there be many occasions where she had to meet Zhang Baiyan against her will

Lu You didn't want to at all.

Their families' feud meant she and Zhang Baiyan were destined to be apart, so when she broke up with him, there was no room for compromise. The hurtful words she spoke were intended to cut deep, and even as she said them, she felt a sense of detachment from herself.

Over the years, she has never wavered.

She never thought she would meet him again, but fate's gears had pushed them back together.

Lu You thought: perhaps she should return to city C.

He could see right through her thoughts, and she smiled after sipping half her cup of flower tea. "You won't run back to city C because of this, will you That's not like you at all, though it does seem…like when you ran off abroad years ago"

Lu Yu acted coquettishly, dragging her feet and refusing to let Huo Xi make fun of her.

Huoxi thought for a moment and then said seriously, "Going home is a good idea!"

She reached out to stroke her younger sister's hair, sighing inwardly: with her uncle's family's status, Lu You would actually be much happier and more relaxed if she married anyone else than following Zhang Baiyan.

Lu You leaned against her arm, reluctantly parting ways.

She also likes city B, her uncle and aunt, and her elder brothers and sisters...

……

When it was almost dinner time, Zhang Chongguang came over and picked up Xiao Zhangrui and Huo Mianmian.

As soon as he returned, Xiao Xing, who was walking around the sofa, rushed over.

Opened his arms to be held by his father.

Zhang Chongguang bent down and picked her up. His legs were much steadier now, he took a small step back and stood firm... He kissed his little daughter, then smoothed out the pretty dress for her.

Little Huo Xing hugged his father's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.

The milky flavor brings saliva to my mouth.

Even his own father didn't find him repulsive, and even hugged and kissed him again. Then he looked at Lu You and said: "Lu You is here, we have your favorite lemongrass grilled fish for dinner tonight."

Lu You still held onto Huo Xi's arm, sweetly saying, "Thank you, Chongguang ge."

"Don't thank me yet! I have something to discuss with Sister Huo."

Zhang Chongguang sat down on the sofa opposite, holding Xiao Hoxing in his arms... Lu You immediately stepped forward. Hearing this, she knew there was something good to be had, so she picked up Xiao Hoxing: "Auntie will take you to the kitchen to find some delicious food."

Little Huo Xing still wants to play with his father.

Pouting her little mouth, she rebelled, "Auntie is bad."

Lu You fiercely kissed her: "Auntie, I love you to death."

She whisked Xiao Xing away in a few moves. Within two hours, she had 2 million yuan from Chongguang Ge in her account as pocket money. So, she loved Xiao Xing dearly, and she also loved Chongguang Ge dearly.

When the hall was empty, Hosi whispered, "It's not the weekend, why did you go to pick up Rui Rui and Mian Mian"

Zhang Chongguang silently watched her.

Though it was the depth of winter, the temperature inside the villa was like spring. Huo Xi wore a silk shirt with black pants. Her long black hair had recently been styled into long curls, and she was a joy to behold simply by looking at her.

After staring for a while, his voice was hoarse: "Zhang Rui's class has an activity that requires parents to participate. He asked me and I agreed on his behalf by signing the form. Huo Xi, could you see if it's convenient It's this coming Saturday."

Ho Xi also looked at him.

Zhang Chongguang picked up the cup and twirled it gently in his hand.

"I just don't want to disappoint Zhang Rui."

Hoshi smiled faintly, which could be taken as agreement. There was a subtle ambiguity between them, and even the servants who bustled in and out of the dining room with dishes couldn't help but smile discreetly.

Zhang Chongguang gave a light cough and asked Huo Xi, "How are things going with that young man"

Huo Xi did not answer him directly.

She didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. She picked up a magazine nearby and flipped through it casually, saying, "Same old, same old!"

Chang Chongguang: ...

He didn't want to ask again, as it would seem too deliberate.

At this moment, Xiao Zhangrui stood on the stairs. His face, usually as impassive as a poker card, had a slight flush, clearly showing he had heard his parents' words and was secretly delighted inside.

Huo Xi looked up and saw him, saying softly, “Go call your sister downstairs for dinner.”

Xiao Zhangrui nodded, turned to call Huo Mianmian. He was so happy that he ate two bowls of rice for dinner and even held his younger sister over and fed her two small bowls of rice.

Lu You was dumbfounded.

She thought, luckily her brother Lu Shu didn't have this problem. When he was happy, he would feed his sister, otherwise she would have grown into a pig when she was a child.

After dinner, Zhang Chongguang didn't stay overnight at the Huo residence. As he was leaving, Huo Xi called him over and said, "You send Lu You off, please. I see that her mood hasn't been good lately, and I don't feel comfortable letting her drive this late."

Zhang Chongguang was just about to light a cigarette when he heard this and put it away.

He said, "I'll take her home."

Before leaving, Huo Xi softly spoke again: "Tell Lao Zhao to drive slower, it's a bit foggy tonight! You should also go to sleep early and remember to soak your feet."

Zhang Chongguang's eyes were deep, gazing at Huo Xi. She stood in the crystal light of the hallway, breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, she was once again so gentle.

It's a man who doesn't want to leave.

But he didn't forget that they had parted ways, that they weren't suitable to be alone together anymore, so he took one last deep look at her and turned away.

Hawsey watched him silently,

She slowly leaned against the wall in the hallway, a slight smile playing on her lips...

*** Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Saturday morning, Huo Xi received a package sent by Qin's secretary.

A white T-shirt with the words "Zhang Rui will win" on it.

Qin's Secretary left a message: [Zhang also has the same style, which was requested by Zhang Rui, the young master.]

Ho Xi leaned back in the leather armchair, holding the card and smiling.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she wore a white T-shirt inside and put on a coat to drive to Ruirui's school. The activity was held in an indoor gymnasium, and parents wouldn't feel cold even wearing T-shirts.

Zhang Chongguang has arrived.

He was also wearing that "Zhang Rui Will Win" white T-shirt. He was naturally handsome, but over the years in the business world, his temperament had been honed into a sharp and aloof one, making him seem unapproachable. Now, wearing this shirt, he looked much younger, like he was in his early thirties.

He sat on the grass, gazing at Halsey, a flicker of hidden fire in his eyes.

Ho Xi walked over and sat down beside him.

"He's pretty handsome."

"Pretty good looking."

They almost spoke at the same time, and then couldn't help but laugh together. Zhang Chongguang's voice was laced with a hint of nostalgia: "Remember when we were in school In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up."

Hawsey looked at him, "You're still very handsome! Quite a few mothers might have their eyes on you."

Zhang Chongguang answered quickly: "I don't want them to see."

He just wanted someone to look at him, in focus, that was enough.

Ho Xi didn't speak at first. After a long while, her voice was very low: "Zhang Chongguang, didn't you say it was over yourself Now, are you a little regretful"

He did not answer, his eyes gazing deeply.

Just as the atmosphere between the two became sufficiently ambiguous, Xiao Zhangrui ran over and sat down between them: "The game will start in a while."

He was still quite worried about Zhang Chongguang's leg, afraid he would get tired and hurt.

Zhang Chongguang patted his little head: "It's okay to have this amount of exercise, your mother and I will definitely get you first place back."

He was so confident for a reason. He grew up with Hsi, and they played countless games of foot binding together, developing an incredible understanding of each other.

Xiao Zhangrui nodded, he still cared about it.

Because usually classmates would point and talk about him, saying his parents were divorced, and that he and Huo Mianmian had no father and were wild children. Once, Mianmian was even spoken to until she cried, but she didn't dare tell her mother.

So this time, both mom and dad came, and he was very happy.

As expected, this kind of competition was child's play for Ho Sze and Cheung Chung-kwong. Even with his injured foot, they still easily took first place.

When receiving the award, Xiao Zhangrui went on stage with a slightly flushed face.

He is rarely so happy.

Just as the trophy was about to be awarded, some kid shouted out of turn: "They must have cheated! Zhang Rui's dad is obviously crippled, how could they possibly come in first"

"Dead lame, dead lame, that's cheating."

……

The child's parents were terrified and quickly covered the child's mouth to stop him from speaking, but hundreds of parents on the field had already heard what he said. No one dared to speak up...

Someone actually dared to call Zhang, the CEO with billions of assets, a cripple.

Before anyone could react, Xiao Zhang Rui rushed over and kicked the kid hard in the ribs. Tears welled up in Xiao Zhang Rui's eyes as he yelled: "If you dare say another word, I'll cripple you, believe me"

The scene was in chaos...

That parent didn't even dare fight back; he just moved his son slightly. Xiao Zhang Rui was still about to hit him, so Zhang Chongguang stepped forward and hugged his son with one hand, bringing him back.

He pressed his son tightly against his chest.

Little Zhang Rui was crying in his arms, a suppressed and heartbroken cry. He kept apologizing to his father, because he knew how proud his father was; how could he bear to be called "crippled" by others

Zhang Chongguang hugged him tightly,

When Xiao Zhangrui calmed down a bit, he lowered his head and kissed his son's hair, whispering, "Dad doesn't mind! Rui Rui, don't cry, okay"

Little Zhang Rui was still sobbing: "They bullied Mianmian again, they were making fun of her, and once Mianmian even cried."

Zhang Chongguang's whole body was tense.

Beside him, Ho Xi was gently patting his son, his fingers trembling slightly.l lose face."Wen Man didn't insist. She told him to remember to take his temperature."If not, I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow."Ho Shaoting smiled and got out of the car.He went to the office...
