ice. She covers her phone to speak to her boss: "Miss Wen is here, she brought you breakfast and a set of clean clothes. She said to put them at the front desk for me to pick up."Ho Shao-ting was look...Zhang Chongguang was on a business trip for two days.

He sounded very calm on the phone: "There was something urgent at the company, so I didn't wake you up... Yeah, I'll be back in two days."

Huo Xi whispered, "Good."

Their exchanges were like those of the most ordinary married couple: a husband telling his wife about his whereabouts when he went out. But they knew this was probably their last tender moment.

In a few days, they will part ways and never see each other again.

or simply that men and women get married to different people, each going their separate ways.

Two evenings later, Huo Xi was reading in her upstairs study when she heard the sound of a small car in the courtyard. She guessed that Zhang Chongguang was back.

She couldn't help but remember that night, and the lube discarded in the trash.

Hoxi got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

As autumn deepened, the maple leaves turned crimson like flames. Zhang Chongguang stepped out of his black RV and strode into that sea of red, gently striking a chord in Huo Xi's heart.

In just two days, Zhang Chongguang had slimmed down considerably. His already slender face became even more three-dimensional and profound. With such a handsome appearance coupled with his wealth, Huo Xi thought if he wanted to remarry, it would be very easy to find excellent young women.

She gazed silently.

It seemed as if she felt his gaze upon her, Zhang Chongguang slightly raised his head and looked back at her.

Gaze locked.

After a while, he got down his luggage from the trunk and climbed the stairs slowly.... Soon, footsteps echoed in the hallway. Huo Xi turned from the floor-to-ceiling window and said softly, "Are you back"

"Well, I'm back! It went quite smoothly."

Zhang Chongguang put down his luggage and walked slowly towards her. When he got in front of her, he raised his hand as if he wanted to touch her face, but for some reason, he let it drop.

"I'll just take a quick shower and then start preparing dinner."

Huo Xi nodded: "Mianmian and Ruirui are at my dad's."

Zhang Chongguang had already reached the door when he stopped and said, "Let them stay there! In a few days, I'll send you and Xingxing back."

He had already decided to let go, but he stubbornly waited the full 60 days.

His final farewell to her.

After he finished speaking, he looked at her, and she... The atmosphere was a bit subtle. Finally, Zhang Chongguang spoke softly: "Go take a bath! Close the windows, it's getting cold from the wind blowing for too long."

Ho Xi hummed.

Zhang Chongguang took one last deep look at her before turning and leaving.

Back in the master bedroom, he first glanced at Xiao Xing. He hadn't seen him in two days and felt like he had gained some weight. The father bent down and kissed his son on the head. When he looked up, his black eyes were deep and mysterious.

Last time Ho Xi asked him if he wanted children, he said no.

In fact, he didn't want to, he had lost Hosea. He wanted so much a child they could share, maybe in the long dark nights of the future, having a child by his side would make them pass more easily.

But this child was bought with Hsi's life.

How can he claim what already belongs to others

She was sick and needed a child's companionship more than he did... Zhang Chongguang, despite his reluctance, had to let go.

He looked for a long time before going into the dressing room.

Having changed into a fresh set of clothes, he went to the guest room next door to take a shower. After changing, he returned to see Huo Xi in the bedroom. Zhang Chongguang stood at the doorway and said softly, "I'll sleep in the next room tonight and will come over to look after the child at night. Don't lock your door."

Haw Xi hummed, "Good."

Before he came back, Zhang Chongguang had built countless defenses for himself. He tried his best to convince himself that Huo Xi wasn't his, that he should keep his distance from her. So, he didn't touch her, and they no longer shared a bed. But he could control his body but not his heart.

He took another step forward and said, "Is there nothing you want to say to me"

Hoxie stared at him intently.

After a long silence, she said very softly, "Zhang Chongguang, for the rest of your life, I hope you will be well."

Zhang Chongguang's throat tightened, thousands of words choked in his chest, unable to express his feelings at this moment. Finally, he almost fled in embarrassment.

At night, he slept in the next room, as he had said.

He and she were separated by only a wall, neither of them asleep... During the night he came over twice to look after Xiao Hoxing, knowing that Hoxi was awake, and Hoxi knew that he knew she was awake.

He looked at her.

But they didn't speak to each other. It felt suggestive for a couple on the verge of breaking up to even chat for a few more minutes in the middle of the night.

Day 59,

In the evening, the clouds were painted with colorful hues, more vibrant than the red maple trees in the courtyard.

Zhang Chongguang didn't go to the company. He spent the whole day packing things up, for Huo Xi... and also for the children.

He sorted out several large boxes.

like getting ready for a trip.

In fact, he knew Hoxi was planning a trip. Leaving him she might take little Xing around the world for a week, and then come back. Perhaps by then, little Xing would already be walking.

Several large boxes, stacked neatly on the first floor.

All the servants in the house knew that Madam and Miss were leaving, and they were all saddened. But none dared to speak up.

Hosi had stayed upstairs all along.

She was drawing quietly in her study, a window scene… frost leaves all over the sky.

She spent a whole day painting the picture and then covered it with canvas.

As she slowly descended the stairs, she saw a candlelit dinner set up in the dining room.

It's clear this was prepared by Zhang Chongguang.

He was dressed formally, in a black suit. He sat at a long, black obsidian dining table where two vases filled with snow mountain roses stood in the center.

All the domestic staff avoided him.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Chongguang looked up and saw Huo Xi standing on the stairs.

One long dress, enough to amaze him for the rest of his life.

Zhang Chongguang slowly got up and walked towards her. He reached out his hand to her... for the last time, grasping her hand.

He put on music and he danced one last dance with her.

He held her gently, whispering in her ear, “Hoxi, I love you.”

He loved her, and still loved her.

So he couldn't accept the coming of the 60th day, he chose to part with her on the 59th day, sending her back to her original world and giving her happiness back.

Nightfall descended silently, like a separation, unexpected and sudden.

Before he could drink his fill, or even finish the meticulously prepared meal, Huo Xi leaned against his shoulder and watched him pack his luggage, murmuring softly, "Zhang Chongguang, I'm leaving!"

So he watched the driver carry his luggage, piece by piece, onto the car.

So he watched her cradle the child and sit in the back seat of the car.

So he looked at her, gently pulled the car door shut, and left her sight.

Zhang Chongguang's eyes were a little wet. He suddenly walked over, opened the driver's side door and said to the driver, "I'll drive!"

The driver hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Drive carefully."

Zhang Chongguang sat in the car, his long fingers gently caressing the steering wheel as he said, "When you're abroad, if it's convenient, write me a postcard. You could also have Xingxing leave a little footprint for me, so I know she's grown taller."

Hoshie said okay.

They were all subdued and said little. Zhang Chongguang started the car.

Huo Xi and the child are both in the car. He drives steadily and carefully, more cautiously than he usually does himself.

As the lanterns were first lit.

Those lights, that brilliant spectacle, kept receding, being left behind.

The car fell silent. Zhang Chongguang was about to ask Huo Xi if he wanted some water when suddenly, a blinding headlights appeared in front of them. A large vehicle from the oncoming lane had lost control and was careening wildly toward them…

The interior was as bright as day.

In that instant, perhaps only a second passed, what was Zhang Chongguang thinking

He was thinking, "Thank goodness!"

Fortunately, he personally sent Huo Xi, fortunately, it was his car... He thought, he never quite understood how much he loved Huo Xi, in all the love and hate between them, how much love remained.

But in that moment, he knew.

He was willing to give his life for her safety...uncomfortable and turned her face away.Lu Shuo smiled and started the car.But instead of heading home, he drove to the nearest five-star hotel and parked in the parking lot after 5 minutes.Lu Xun was...
