Xi and I were destined to be together! But after going abroad, I realized how free and fresh the world outside was. It dawned on me that no one is irreplaceable."He paused and then said, "Lu Shao, it...The Huo Residence.

The aroma of food wafted through the air early on. Lady Huo personally cooked a sumptuous meal.

Huo Xi loves to eat.

Wen Man loves to eat.

Xiaoshuoshuo and Mingzhu love to eat.

He loves to eat.

A few burly men wouldn't receive such good treatment.

Ho Shaoting sat at the large round table, having already taken off his coat, wearing a pure wool gray sweater.

He put a hand on Wen Man's shoulder and pretended to complain, "Mom, you're playing favorites!"

Mrs. Huo sat down and looked alternately at her two children.

May all find their soulmate.

She felt a warmth in her heart and gently said to her son, “When you and Mingzhu were little, Mom took care of both of you without sparing any effort! Now that I’m cooking for the children, are you jealous You're so jealous! Wen Man must have suffered from this jealousy of yours quite often.”

Ho Shaoting served his wife food, smiling and saying, "Where would I dare to let her get angry with me!"

"General Wen holds the key to my happiness for the rest of my life! I must serve her well! If you don't believe me, ask Wen Man, how have I served her on a daily basis!"

The more he spoke, the more outlandish his words became, and Wen Man's face flushed red.

She shoved a piece of meat at him.

Ho Shao-ting knew she was embarrassed, so he smiled and didn't say anything more.

During the meal, Lu Qian mentioned his engagement.

Ho Zhen Dong beamed with pride, waving his hand dismissively: "This matter, after dinner the three of us shall go to the study and discuss it properly. It's a big deal after all, we can't be careless!"

But Mingzhu still felt a little embarrassed, and she ate silently.

Lu Qian served her the dishes and said softly, "Don't you like this the most Why are you only eating rice and not the vegetables"

Little Huo Xi's voice was crisp: "Aunt felt embarrassed because she got married to her uncle!"

She loudly exclaimed, “Aunt’s face is red!”

……

The atmosphere is quite awkward.

Wen Man smiled apologetically.

Ho Shao-ting carried little Huo Xi onto his lap and gently patted his bottom: "Everything is fine, just that he talks too much!"

Huo Xi hugged him and kissed him.

Then, she refused to get down and insisted on eating sitting on Huo Shaoting's lap.

Ho Shao-ting usually told her to be independent, but this time he unexpectedly agreed. Not only that, he even fed the little one.

Wen Man couldn't help but glance at him.

During nap time, Huo Shaoting amused the children, leaving Wen Man and her husband alone.

Wen Man's belly has already started to show.

It's not so convenient when sleeping...

She is also body-conscious, so she does some simple exercises in the bedroom after meals to keep her figure and ensure a smooth delivery.

Ho Shao-ting pushed the door open.

The living room is very warm and comfortable.

He looked at Wen Man's back.

From behind, you wouldn't be able to tell she was pregnant, let alone that she had given birth to two children.

Her waist and hips are especially alluring.

Ho Shao-ting couldn't help himself. He walked over and put his arms around her from behind, leaning in to smell her hair. "Why aren't you sleeping"

He placed his palm gently upon her belly.

Wen Man stopped her movements, leaning against his shoulder, and softly asked him, "You usually don't allow me to feed Huo Xi, why did you make an exception today!"

Ho Shaoting rested his chin on her slender shoulder.

He still stroked her belly, evading the question: "In a few months, this child will be born."

Wen Man wanted to talk to him.

She whispered, "Shaoting, I have something to tell you about Huo Xi!"

She usually pampers the children, but she rarely feeds Huo Xi now. The little guy is already in big class and he still needs to be independent.

Ho Shao-ting understood her concerns.

He whispered into her ear, "Wen Man, haven't you noticed Huo Xi has never been jealous of Yun Si. Not only does she treat Yun Si like a toy, but also because Yun Si is a boy, she doesn't have any territorial awareness! But the one in your belly is different, just like Huo Xi, a little girl. When it's born, do you think Huo Xi will be jealous"

A smaller, more fragile thing than her.

Any little girl would find this upsetting.

If you asked Ho Chiu-ting who his children loved most, he wouldn't have to think twice—it would definitely be Ho Hei.

Huo Xi was bought with Wen Man's life.

Besides, she stayed in the laboratory for two years.

Parents are not entirely impartial when treating their children; there is always a degree of favoritism.

Huo Xi is his favorite.

He didn't say it, but Wen Man had already guessed it.

She didn't get angry, instead she gently stroked her belly like him, and whispered softly: "Shaoting, you're good at teaching children. When this child is born, you teach her too."

Ho Shao-ting gently hummed in response.

Wen Man changed the subject and discussed Mingzhu's dowry with him.

Ho Shao-ting pulled her to sit down, smiling gently: "They say a brother-in-law is like a mother, and that's absolutely true! Mom's still here, so you don't need to worry so much."

He lightly scratched her belly while he spoke.

Wen Man blushed.

She argued, "Our parents are our parents, and as siblings-in-law, we can't be left out of this either."

Ho Shao-ting's eyes were deep and penetrating.

He gazed at her for a long time, then gently leaned in and kissed her lips, whispering, "Wen Man, thank you for being so good to Mingzhu and Shuoshuo."

His tone was blunt and crass.

Wen Man uncomfortably feigned indifference: "Shuo Shuo is her uncle's child."

He Shaoting played with her long hair: "I know, even if Shuo Shuo wasn't your uncle's child, you would still treat Mingzhu well."

Wen Man rarely spoke, but he could tell she liked Mingzhu very much.

Perhaps it's loving the house and thus loving the sparrows!

Ho Shao-ting felt that he possessed this feeling, enough for a lifetime.

Two people were talking.

A knock on the door sounded, it was Lu Qian.

Ho Shaoting had locked the door, so he went to open it. Lu Qian was already dressed in his coat, looking ready to go out.

"Uncle's going back to City C" Huo Shaoting exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Qian hummed in response.

He said, "I came over temporarily; there are still some things to deal with over there! But it'll be done soon, everything will be resolved before the year ends."

Ho Shaoting nodded.

Lu Qian came in again, Wen Man stood up and called out to him, "Uncle."

Even though Wen Man was already a wife and mother of several children, Lu Qian still treated her like a child.

He touched her hand gently and said softly, "When the New Year's holiday comes, if you have time, come back to City C with Mingzhu for a short stay. The old lady really misses you, though she has difficulty walking."

Wen Man nodded.

Lu Qian paused for a moment, then said somewhat uncomfortably: "Taking care of some Mingzhu."

Wen Man smiled gently.

Ho Shaoting said: "Uncle, please rest assured! Just now Wen Man was still discussing with me about preparing a dowry for Mingzhu."

Lu Qian didn't speak, but his gaze was deep.

He knew well how difficult it had been for Wen Man to be caught in the middle of his relationship with Mingzhu. The Huo family had agreed easily and hadn't blamed her too much, perhaps out of consideration for Wen Man's face...

He knew it in his heart, but he just embraced Wen Man for a moment.

"Take care of yourself."

Wen Man wanted to see him downstairs, but Lu Qian declined, saying that Liu's secretary's car was already waiting downstairs.

Ho Shao-ting went to see someone off.

When he came back, there were some snowflakes on his clothes. He patted them off and said, "We'd better head back soon too, or if the snow gets any heavier, it will be hard to drive."

Wen Man gently unbuttoned his coat for him.

She held him close, pressing her cheek against his chest.

"Shaoting, it seems like it's always snowing this year."

Huo Ruoting lowered his head and looked at her tenderly.

He also remembered the year they met, on that gentle snowy night after Christmas...

He whispered, "Since you're not feeling well, let's wait until the baby is born and then have a nice romantic time together."

Wen Man murmured softly, "I didn't mean that."

Huo Shaoting smiled and kissed her lips: “But most men only think of these things! Wen Man, you've been with me for so long, don't you know” police station did he sober up, watching Lu You treat Ye Bai's wounds with a clear mind.In the dead of night, Xu Zhanyou rushed over.She looked at Zhang Baiyan, stunned.
