u's mother had a soft attitude, just like before: "Wen Man, you probably don't know that Changqing Company had some problems this morning! I heard from the grapevine that Huo Shaoting was deliberately...Anran looked on, her eyes somewhat warm.
The memories associated with this diamond ring weren't pleasant. She didn't know why Huo Yunsi had taken it out.
Ho Yunsi knew what she was thinking.
He lightly held her hand; his tall frame and large palms completely enveloped hers. He held it like that for a while before whispering in her ear, "I had it specially made."
The only one in the world, the letters on it mean that.
He was the one who always wanted to be with Anran, not the other way around.
Huo Yunsi's voice trembled slightly: "Put it on for me. This time, we'll take our time."
As he spoke, he took her slender finger and carefully slid the diamond ring onto her middle finger. It was originally sized for her ring finger, but Anran had lost weight, making the middle finger a better fit now.
After putting it on, he kissed her, a light kiss, and held her close.
Five years, before and after, only they know how they feel at this moment.
Anran whispered, "You said to take it slow, but you're clearly..."
Huoyunsi let out a light chuckle.
He gently stroked her back and asked, "You don't want to You didn't refuse last night even though you were so angry"
A woman who argues with a man will not come out on top.
Anran wisely didn't refute him. She turned back to their previous topic: " Huo Yunsi, do you truly want to start over with me"
Huo Yunsi didn't speak, he just held her in his arms.
Anran suddenly felt like crying. Her face pressed against his chest, her voice a little shaky as she said, "The premise is that you have to respect me, treat me as an equal! Huo Yunshi, being taken care of by you feels good, but I also really like myself now."
She was so different from him, and they had been apart for so long. If he hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have taken the initiative even if he were single and without anyone else around.
She said these words, and Huo Yunsi was also touched.
He hummed in response, still holding her tightly; An Ran pushed twice but couldn't break free.
At this time, the villa maid went upstairs and knocked on the door: "Sir, there's an express delivery from Miss An in the same city."
Huo Yuns thought looked down at Anran.
This time he let her go and walked calmly to the door, opening it. The maid smiled at him: “I've already signed for Miss An.”
Anran thanked him and took the box, carrying it gently through the door.
What did you buy
Huoyuns thought took it, sat on the sofa and took out a utility knife to open it. Inside was a turquoise box, which opened to reveal an opal brooch, not top-of-the-line but still worth tens of thousands.
He took it out and stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie and collar.
After looking at it for a while, he said in a low voice, "I really like it!"
He knew An Ran was usually thrifty, her closet wasn't even full, yet she bought him tens of thousands of sewing needles... Suddenly, Huo Yunsi understood what An Ran wanted!
He didn't say much, he just hugged her for a long time.
……
At six o'clock in the evening, Huo Yunsi drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom and took Anran to the Huo residence.
Although it was his birthday, Ho Shao-ting didn't urge him at all because Xiao Linxi was there. He only hummed softly with his nose after the person returned home: "Glad to be back Almost forgot your birthday"
Ho Yunsi got into the car and said, "Dad, you really know me!"
Ho Shao-ting touched his nose.
At this time, the Huo family's courtyard was bustling with activity. It was the middle of winter, but a full-view glass house had been built in the courtyard for a Western-style party, and almost all the prominent figures from half of city B were there.
Celebrating birthdays is fake, building relationships is real.
Of course, there are also those who came to watch the drama. After all, Xiao Huo's ex-girlfriend Sun Tian and her family arrived. However, now Xiao Huo has suddenly emerged with a son, and it seems that the child's mother has also risen to power. Everyone wants to see what kind of skills this woman possesses.
Huoyuns thought opened the car door.
An Ran lifted her head slightly, looking at him. She knew that once she stepped out of the car, their identities would be different.
"Get out of the car! My dad has been waiting for a long time!"
Huo Yunsi's tone was very gentle. When the people present heard it, their ears felt numb.
Sun Tian was also there, biting her lip.
Huo Yunsi had never spoken to her like that before.
She looked like she was about to cry, while Li Siqi, who wore a seductive outfit, held a wine glass and said lazily, “We’ve just begun. Can’t handle it already Back then, Huo Yunsi practically went through hell and back for An Ran.”
Living or dying……
Sun Tian didn't believe it, and couldn't imagine that someone as indifferent as Huo Yunsi could have such intense feelings.
Li Siqi restrained her expression: "All of Huo Yunsi's feelings are given to Anran. Otherwise, with his arrogant personality, they wouldn't have gotten back together."
Sun Tian always wasn't willing to give up: "It must be because of the child."
Li Siqi laughed at her, "Child Do you think the Huo family lacks children Don't you have the ability to bear children Would the Huo family accept someone who would be separated for 800 years just for a child That child is precious only if he/she is born safely. Otherwise...he/she would only receive the treatment of a bastard, with money but no chance to hold power."
Sun Tian was about to cry.
Her eyes were misty, yet she held back tears, gazing at Huo Yunsi with an expression of unrequited love.
Over there, Anran got out of the car.
As the granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family, she naturally attracted much attention. Others who didn't know her background were only envious, but there were many executives from the Huo Group present, and they were all quite surprised.
Surprisingly, he is still safe and sound.
The secretary who used to work for Mr. Huo...
Secretary Yan is also here, she's wearing a simple and neat dress, standing beside Wen Man, her expression also somewhat excited.
The Huo family did not introduce Anran publicly.
Ho Shaoting only brought her to greet a few close uncles, including important shareholders of the Huo family... Then Wen Man came over with Lin Xi. She skillfully took An Ran to the women's side to socialize.
Over the past three years, An Ran has gained a lot of experience and is not intimidated by this kind of occasion.
Besides, with Wen Man present, no one dared to say another word. In the upper circles of B city, everyone knew that Wen Man was someone you couldn't afford to offend. She wouldn't usually complain to her husband; she would personally make sure anyone who offended her met a terrible end.
With Wen Man around, An Ran felt at ease.
Occasionally, she would glance up and see Huo Yunsi looking at her. He was mostly occupied with socializing... Around nine o'clock, people from Zhongtian Group appeared along with Gu Yunfan.
An Ran was just about to go over and say hello.
Son Tian intercepted her path, "Secretary An, can we talk"
Sun Tian was wearing a pale pink dress, very girlish, and her skin was fair.
Anran looked at her, thinking that Huo Yunsi actually had a good eye for aesthetics. He said he would just marry a wife... This wife's appearance was not just "settling." She was the type he liked.
At this point, Sun Tian was clearly drunk.
She looked at An Ran with obvious envy in her eyes. She said bluntly, "An Secretary, the first time I saw you, I thought you were really elegant and beautiful. I even praised you in front of Huo Yunsi, but I didn't expect you to steal him from me."
Sun Tian said, her eyes moist: "I hate you!"
Some noblewomen around had already secretly eavesdropped. The young mistress of the Sun family was going to tear apart the future daughter-in-law of the Huo family! Such a lively spectacle wouldn't be worth missing.
Anran's situation is not good.
Although she has a child with Huo Yunshi and is his beloved, the fact remains that after their reunion, Huo Yunshi went on dates and even had a relationship with Sun Tian. No matter how you look at it, she seems to be in the wrong.
Being rational and composed all the time, I don't know how to deal with irrational people.
Not to mention the fact that the other person was drinking.
Sun Tian grabbed her hand, choking back tears: "Ms. An, I beg you, give me Huo Yunsi. Please I can't live without him… I love him!"
The situation was awkward.
Even with the best eloquence, it would be useless.
Far away, Li Siqi listened, she smirked and walked to Wen Man's side, picking up Xiao Linxi, "Do you still recognize your auntie"
Lin Xi had met her before and affectionately said, "Auntie, hug!"
Li Siqi's nose ached slightly: "Just like your mother, you're good at pleasing people!"
She greeted Wen Man, picked up Lin Xi and walked towards the group of women. She shoved Lin Xi into An Ran's hands and said in a rather impatient tone: "What are you all doing Don't want your son anymore You searched for your mother for so long! Let me tell you, no matter how charming or capable a man is, he's not as attentive as his son."
An Ran was stunned for a moment.
Then, she was stuffed with a warm little thing in her arms. Lin Xi couldn't see her for a while and also thought about it, so she hugged softly: "Mama."
Children are like bombs.
Sun Tian's grievances and confessions, in front of such a naive and adorable child, became insignificant.
Someone has been whispering: "She already has a child, she can't be forced to marry anymore! It's better to be kind. Besides, they've only been together for a couple of months. There's no such thing as forced marriage in the first place!"
What they said was also unpleasant.
An Ran felt it was time to wrap things up, but Li Siqi kept fiddling with her manicured nails, completely unbothered. After all, who could blame Sun Tian for overthinking things They'd all said Huo Yunsi only liked An Ran, yet she still insisted on getting involved.
It must be the commotion here.
Huo Yunsi walked over and saw Lin Xi hugging An Ran's neck tightly, so he softly asked, "What's wrong with him"
"Maybe she's tired and wants to sleep!"
Huo Yunsi reached out and hugged Lin Xi, "I'll take him to my room to sleep."
An Ran hesitated whether to follow them, but Huo Yunsi had already grasped her hand and led her away... Sun Tian watched their warm scene, tears swirling in her eyes.
Li Siqi passed her a handkerchief, "It's just a man! What's the fuss"
Sun Tian turned her back and started to cry...
On that side, Huo Yunsi held his son to the main hall of the manor and let go of An Ran. He slowly went upstairs while turning his head and asking, "Did Sun Tian embarrass you"
"It's not difficult," Anran shook her head. "She had a bit too much to drink."
It was indeed embarrassing just now.
But she could understand Sun Tian, just like she herself had been in the past, giving up all her dignity just to win back Huo Yunsi... She didn't think she had won against Sun Tian.
Anran wasn't stupid; she could see her own shadow in Sun Tian.
Moreover, he comes from a better family and is more innocent than her.
These things, Ho Yunsi might not have noticed himself.
Huo Yuns thought bent down, placing Lin Xi onto the big bed. An Ran then embraced him from behind...rning!"Ho Shaoting did not force him, but let him stay overnight.Lu Qian patted his shoulder: "The driver is waiting for me! Shaoting, have a good time with Wen Man!"As he spoke the last three words,...
