busy, too busy even to have time for a cold war with her.Just when Wen Man didn't know what to say, Huo Shaoting took his luggage and told Zhang's secretary: "Wen Man will see me off at the airport."W...Because Xiao Zhangrui fell ill, the already fragile relationship had to be faced again.

Hoxi has been keeping watch over Ruirui.

At the beginning, Huo Shaoting and Wen Man were worried that she would have an unpleasant time with Zhang Chongguang sharing a room. But obviously, they both exercised great restraint. Privately, Huo Shaoting told Wen Man, "He's still acting like an old man!"

Wen Man felt a little sentimental. She looked at Zhang Chongguang and thought he had become much thinner.

People are different from before.

Looking at his silence, she couldn't tell if it was good or bad.

At noon, Ruirui woke up.

The little guy was still burning at 39 degrees, his cheeks were flushed, and even his eyes were red. His little face pressed against the white pillow, quietly looking at his mother, and whispered, "How long have I been asleep"

Huo Xi covered his forehead with his hand and said gently, "It's been several hours now. Are you hungry Your family sent over some congee. Have some to recover faster."

Xiao Zhangrui did not answer.

His eyes were moist, and his voice trembled like a small animal as he whimpered, "Mommy, I didn't mean to."

Huo Xi's heart was filled with the deepest sorrow.

She leaned down and gently touched her son's face, her voice slightly hoarse. "Mommy knows! Ruirui... Actually, all children get sick sometimes. You don't need to blame yourself."

"I am because..."

Xiao Zhangrui has always been arrogant, but this time he wanted to tell his mother why he was sick.

Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the ward swung open.

Zhang Chongguang walked in and saw Rui Rui awake. His black eyes were slightly deeper. He walked over and reached out to touch the little guy's head: "Don't do stupid things again, you can call Dad."

Ruirui was still angry with him, burying her face in the pillow and refusing to speak.

"Fed up!"

Zhang Chongguang's tone was a little bit doting. He bent down and took his son out, put on his coat, and lightly placed him on his lap, then held him horizontally like that.

Xiao Zhang, since he was four or five years old, has not liked being held by adults.

At this point, his cheeks flushed even redder, he struggled to get down, but no one wanted to put him down.

It's so embarrassing, he was hugging me like I was a little girl.

Zhang Chongguang didn't let go of him. He lowered his head and said to his son, "Mommy is not feeling well, Dad will feed you something."

He then looked at Huo Xi and said, "You sit on the sofa and rest for a while. I'll take care of Ruirui."

Hoxi didn't want to get that close to him either.

She silently ladled the rice porridge and placed it on the bedside table. At this time, Ruirui was no longer struggling much... He was weak and unusually docile, leaning against his father's embrace and accepting care.

Zhang Chongguang held his son in one hand and fed him with a spoon in the other.

He gazed at the little face, and couldn't help but recall the scene when Rui Rui was first born. Back then, it was probably the best period of his relationship with Huo Xi, having both a son and a daughter, a happy family.

Thinking of those things, his nose felt a little sour, and his eyes welled up.

Rueru ate the congee obediently, looking at him. After eating, he felt a little better and the pain lessened… Huo Shaoting and Wen Man came back after dinner and just happened to see this scene.

Ho Shao-ting couldn't help but retort, "Seems like you're quite enjoying being the boss now!"

Zhang Chongguang looked up and called out, "Mom and Dad."

Ho Shaoting wanted to stab him again, Wen Man secretly pulled his sleeve, indicating that he should be a little more restrained in front of the child... Ho Shaoting stopped, and said to Ho Xi: "Go have dinner! There are me and your mother watching over you here."

Huo Xi nodded, she came over and patted Rui Rui's little head.

"Mom will be back in a little while."

One advantage of private hospitals is that they have high-end restaurants. The Huo family's housekeeper brought lunch, and even though the new year was celebrated in the hospital, it was still very plentiful. Besides, Huo Xi was pregnant, so there were all sorts of delicious dishes to help her appetite.

When Huo Xi was eating, the butler was still introducing the dishes.

Seeing that she wasn't eating much, I was just about to persuade her —

A man's gentle yet deep voice rang in her ear: "This isn't enough, eat more."

Ho Xi's chopsticks froze in mid-air.

The steward looked at Zhang Chongguang, also with a blush on his face, but he still maintained his composure: "Happy New Year, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Chongguang sat across from Huo Xi and without asking, he served himself a bowl of rice and even added a bowl of soup for Huo Xi... That natural way of doing things made the housekeeper's face twitch.

Zhang Chongguang took a bite of his meal and suddenly raised his eyes: "I'm still used to you calling me Young Master Chongguang."

Over the years, the housekeeper hasn't been just sitting around doing nothing.

He beamed: "I've worked for the Huo family for decades, watching generations grow up. Now I'm used to calling him Young Master Lin Xi, Young Master Lu Chen, and Little Rui…"

Zhang Chongguang glanced at him, and the butler laughed even harder.

Hawkey felt the butler was acting weird today.

Although the housekeeper was a chatterbox, seeing them eating together like this in such harmony filled him with emotion. He sighed softly and quietly retreated.

Huoxi had eaten almost enough and was preparing to leave.

As soon as she moved, Zhang Chongguang hurriedly pressed her hand... Huo Xi looked at him. He realized his gaffe and immediately took his hand away. He said softly, "I have something to talk to you about."

Huo Xi knew he wanted to talk about the children.

She thought of RuiRui climbing the wall in the middle of the night and getting sick on New Year's Day... No matter what happened between her and Zhang Chongguang, the child was innocent and needed love, so she didn't refuse.

Seeing her agree, Zhang Chongguang felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. But this time, he dared not go too far.

He didn't dare to imagine that Huo Xi still had feelings for him.

The restaurant was not crowded, and his voice was low: "I will try my best to make time for the children in the future... You can rest assured that I won't interfere with your life. I just hope you give me a chance to make amends."

A rational man is always easy to communicate with.

Their interactions were even better than when they were married. There was no more coercion or pressure... They both remained very calm.

Her expression was serene, she said yes.

In the end, she still made a few requests of him: "If you get a girlfriend, please don't let Mianmian and Ruirui meet her for now. Give them some time to adjust."

Zhang Chongguang was in a pretty good mood originally,

Upon hearing this, his face darkened as he looked up at her: "Xi, do you think I could still have a girlfriend"

Ho Xi smiled faintly: "I don't know, I just presupposed."

"There is no such preset!"

He spoke quickly and urgently: "Huo Xi, I won't look for women anymore, I won't let another woman hurt you. The last one was just a manager at the company, I've already fired her. I won't give anyone else the chance to get close to me..."

He confessed so eagerly.

Huoxi didn't interrupt him.

She just listened quietly, then, without a reaction.

Soon, Zhang Chongguang also realized this. He stopped speaking and said softly, “Huo Xi, you don't care anymore, do you I have no chance either, right”

His expression was truly downcast.

Ho Xi didn't want to continue the conversation. She said, "Aren't we talking about children If you want to spend more time with them, you could take them back home on weekends... You could even stay overnight."re not married anymore, you should take responsibility!"Lin's eyes turned red with anger: "Who told you that you are my child"The nurse whispered, “It was Miss Shen who said it. She said it was your l...
