d everyone, related or unrelated, who had grievances or favors to settle, came.Jiang Ming came with Jiang Sheng.Gu Changqing is here.Even Huo Zhending and Mrs. Huo came with Huo Mingzhu... The Huo fam...Joe Jingnian came over and overheard this.

He stood at the entrance to the hall, utterly humiliated, his voice trembling slightly: "Zhentian, do you really want to sever ties with me"

Ho Chin-tien, seeing his sickly face, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

But he is the head of the household.

He is Wen Man's stepfather and Xiao Hoxi's grandfather. Their Huo family cannot be involved with the Qiao family anymore, otherwise it would be the greatest injustice to Wen Man and her daughter!

Ho Jun-tian gritted his teeth and nodded: "Not bad! That's it between us!"

Jo Jingnian leaned against the doorknob, his body swaying precariously.

His years-long relationship with Huo Zhenting, it turns out... also ended up like this. Truly, is he a failure as a person Why can't he ever keep the people around him

When he spoke, Huo Zhendong said in a deep voice: "As a man, one should cut off decisively! If Lu Xiaoman had misunderstood back then, could you have caught up in time and how would things be like today You love that one, but feel sorry for this one, making one mistake after another! You want to recognize Wenman, yet greedily want her to be good friends with Qiao An, Jingnian... you are truly muddled!"

Joe Jingnian's face turned pale.

His gaze fell upon Wen Man, and the little Huo Xi beside her.

He finally got to see her.

Just before he died, he had only one wish. So, trembling, he asked, "Wen Man, can you call me Father"

Wen Man gazed at him calmly.

She was never a person who lingered. She politely refused, "Mr. Qiao, take care!"

Joe Jingnian's face paled again.

He gave a wry smile and pulled out something beautiful from his bosom. It was a small glass toy he had bought for Xiao Hoxi, but his trembling fingers slipped on the floor.

Sharp shards, cut across Hoseki's tender calf.

Ho Shaoting quickly picked up Huo Xi, pressing a tissue against her leg, and whispered to Wen Man: "There's hemostatic enzyme in her schoolbag!"

Wen Man immediately flipped it open and took one out to give to Xiao Hoxi!

The little one's blood was still slowly seeping from her leg. Huo Xi was afraid of blood, she burrowed into Huo Shaoting's arms and whimpered in pain, wanting her father to comfort her...

He Shaoting coaxed the little guy, his eyes full of tenderness.

unintentional, and also a growing impatience with Qiao Jingnian.

Qiao Jingnian was clearly taken aback.

He didn't know it would turn out this way, he just wanted to give the kids toys.

Huo Zhendong also felt heartbroken, he said softly: "You don't know I don't blame you! Jingnian...let's go, and from now on, don't bother Wen Man again, this child has suffered enough, let her live a good life!"

Qiao Jingnian left in a daze, heartbroken.

As they reached the door, Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but complain: "It's just a small opening! It's worth making such a fuss over! Huo Shaoting's gaze almost devoured you!"

"That child is too pampered!" Mrs. Qiao also said.

Joe Jingnian remained silent.

……

The Huo family hall.

As soon as the man left, Huo Zhendong scooped up little Huo Xi and kissed him repeatedly, his heart overflowing with tenderness: "Our Huo Xi, are you still hurting"

"Ouch!" Little Huo Xi's fair and tender face crumpled up, "Grandpa, blow on it."

Someone like Huo Zhendong, would pick up a small hand and gently blow air to soothe it.

The little one was finally coaxed into laughter.

Ho Chin-tung held his granddaughter, and said to Wen Man: "This child looks so much like you! She has the same temper as Shao-ting!"

He said this with a proud look on his face.

Wen Man smiled faintly.

But she was worried inside.

He clasped her hand and whispered, "Huo Xi has panda blood and a coagulation disorder. I'm a direct relative so I can't donate blood. This blood type is rare in the blood bank too, so Huo Xi needs to be cared for more preciously than ordinary children."

He didn't say it explicitly, but Wen Man knew.

Between them, someone always had to sacrifice their career to accompany Xiao Hoxi.

She hummed softly.

Mrs. Huo found the topic too heavy and gave her son a glance before asking Wen Man to go to the flower hall for tea.

In the hall, only the three of them remained!

Ho Zhen Dong hugged Xiao Ho Xi, and looked at his son: "Shao Ting, what do you think Are the two of you going to let my darling Ho Xi have no status"

Ho Shaoting chuckled, "Dad, this takes time, doesn't it I can't just take Wen Man straight to the marriage registration office now! Besides, we live together now, and it's pretty good."

Little Huo-xi whispered, “Mommy sleeps with me!”

Ho Shao-ting: ...

Ho Zhen-dong's eyes widened: "Are you still looking at Ho Xi like that"

Lowering his head, he spoke to his granddaughter with tenderness: "Grandpa will take care of them!"

Little Huo Xi giggled with glee.

She sat on Ho's lap, kissing his cheeks, this side and that. Her own fair face was nestled amongst his whiskers...

Ho Zhen Dong's heart was melting.

He hugged the brown curly-haired dog and asked seriously, "Shaoting, when will you take over my shift I see Wen Man also has a career to pursue. Why don't I look after the children for you"

How could Huo Shaoting not know what he was thinking

He sipped his tea and said slowly, "The West is enough to keep me busy! Plus the Huo family...Dad, I'll be exhausted!"

Ho Zhen Dong let out a chuckle: "I won't tire you out! You seem to have plenty of energy right now!"

His eyes were sharp; he could tell at a glance they weren't a real couple!

Just teasing little Xiao Huo Xi!

Haha!

Trash, useless!

Over there, Mrs. Huo was having tea with Wen Man.

Mrs. Huo is well-preserved, still beautiful and noble, but there is a touch of sadness between her brows because of her children's affairs.

Wen Man still didn't say "mother-in-law."

She still called out "Mama," then poured tea for Mrs. Huo, her expression softening as she lowered her brows.

"Mrs. Huo gently said, “These days I've wanted to come and see you all, but I was afraid of disturbing your lives! Wen Man… as a mother, of course, I hope you can forgive Shao Ting. In the past, he did indeed do wrong things! But if the anger in your heart hasn't subsided, Mom also hopes that you can properly discipline his arrogant disposition!”"

As she spoke, she gently grasped Wen Man's hand.

How could Wen Man possibly resist such tenderness and affection

She looked up and met Mrs. Huo's gaze...

Just then, Huo Shaoting arrived. He stood beside Wen Man, his palm naturally resting on her shoulder, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Dinner is ready, come eat."

Wen Man softly hummed in agreement.

Mrs. Huo was pleased to see them getting along well, but she had some worries in her heart.

Though she occasionally makes phone calls, Mingzhu never comes home.

……

In the afternoon, Hoshizora was at the mansion.

Wen Man made plans for afternoon tea with Bai Wei, and Huo Shaoting was going to the company, so he would give her a ride.

In the car, he turned his head and asked, "Are you tired"

Wen Man smiled faintly: "You're talking about Huo Xi"

Huo Shaoting gently stroked the seatbelt, not saying a word... He was afraid that if he saw Qiao An today, Wen Man would remember those unpleasant things again.

He really wanted to profess his love to her, but Wen Man seemed indifferent.

He has never been so anxious.

To have someone in the palm of your hand, yet not know if they would want to be.

Wen Man gently closed her eyes: "She's so cute!"

So how could she be tired Don't mention spending time together, even if she gave her all, she would willingly do so.

Ho Shao-ting didn't ask again, lightly pressed the gas pedal, and drove her to the cafe.

He now values Wen Man a lot, and he also respects her friends.

He got off the car with her, greeted Bai Wei, and patted Bai Wei'er's head before leaving.

After he walked away, Bai Wei smiled: "He's quite different now!"

Wen Man ordered an iced coffee.

She stirred it gently, took a sip, and then chuckled: "What's different"

Bai Wei whispered, "It's not the same as before! The Huo Shaoting from before was like a solitary moon in the sky, quite hard to approach. Now he's come down to earth..."

She gave Wen Man a thumbs-up: “Looking good!”

Wen Man smiled gently.

Bai Wei patted her hand. "Don't brush it off! Seriously, he's really good to you! Test him out a bit more, if you think he's good, just go for it! Look at his figure, his face... where can you find someone like that"

Wen Man's cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Don't you think I was with him for more than just his looks and body"

Bai Wei glanced at her son and lowered her voice: "Looking at him like that, he must be quite energetic in that department too, right"

Wen Man took a sip of coffee and almost spit it out.

She looked at Jingrui——

Well, this kid doesn't have as many tricks up his sleeve as Xiao Huo Xi, so he didn't notice!

Wen Man was just about to tell Bai Wei, but a glance out of the corner of her eye froze her.

She saw Huo Mingzhu!Having said that, Zhang's secretary didn't have anything else to say.She always felt that Mr. Huo was doing it on purpose.
