down and called Bai Wei. She always felt a sense of unease in her heart.Bai Wei didn't respond for a while. When she finally did, her voice was hoarse, as if she had been crying.Wen Man softly said, "...Huo Xi swallowed the medicine, the dry, foreign sensation in his throat was very uncomfortable.

She slowly sank onto the sofa.

Her long fingers tightened around the bottle of medicine, slowly clenching... A pang of sadness swept through her heart. She and Zhang Chongguang had actually come to this point.

Hosi put the medicine away, she ate breakfast and went downstairs to see Mianmian.

As I walked to the stairwell, I happened to see a man who looked like a doctor being led upstairs by a maid. He must be going to see Zhang Chongguang.

Huoxi stopped in his tracks, "What Zhang Chongguang is ill"

Of course she wouldn't care how he was.

She just thought, he still had the energy to bully women last night, but now he can't

The doctor saw her and nodded slightly in acknowledgement, recognizing her identity. Huo Xi gently shifted to let him upstairs… Downstairs, a servant was tending to Mianmian as she had breakfast. Hearing the footsteps, Mianmian called out softly, "Mama," her voice lacking security.

He accompanied her as she ate, noticing that Mianmian wasn't eating as much as usual. She spoke softly, "You're growing up so fast, eat more!"

A little fork in someone's hand, lifting a poached egg up and down.

For a long time, she looked at Ho-chi and whispered, "Will Mommy have a little baby"

Huo Xi was taken aback.

Mianmian hung her little head and said, “Daddy said that Mommy will have a little baby soon. He said that when Mommy has the little baby, he will take us back home.”

Ho Xi blinked lightly.

Only now does she understand that Zhang Chongguang took her and Mianmian away not with the intention of keeping them forever. His purpose was to get her pregnant, believing that with another child, she would be unable to leave him and would eventually come back to him.

Huo Xi closed his eyes slightly...

As they were speaking, there was a movement on the second floor. Zhang Chongguang personally sent the doctor downstairs.

In the morning light, his face was slightly pale.

The doctor carried his medical bag, and Zhang Chongguang escorted him to the door, not returning until the sound of the car had disappeared. Mianmian noticed that he was a little wary.

"Zhang Chongguang saw that she hadn't touched her breakfast and said gently, "Dad made it for you. Have some"

Mianmian continued to fork her eggs with a smile, "This is pretty good."

Zhang Chongguang knew the little girl was unhappy, so he looked at Huo Xi again: "You said you didn't feel well and wanted to eat breakfast upstairs, why did you come down"

Hoxie retorted, "Do I not even have the right to go downstairs If not, I won't come down tomorrow."

Her words carried a hint of sarcasm.

How could Zhang Chongguang not hear it

He kept his hands in his pockets, a smile playing on his lips: "So you're getting worked up! If you want to go out for some fresh air, that's fine. Where do you want to go I'll go with you."

He didn't believe a word he said.

After Mien-Mien finished breakfast, she took her upstairs and personally taught her lessons.

Zhang Chongguang stopped her: "Hoxi, let's talk."

He gestured for Mianmian to go upstairs first. The little girl looked at him with reluctance on her face, and he softened his expression: "Be good, Daddy has something to discuss with Mommy."

Hesitated for a moment, then slowly made his way upstairs.

As for me, I'd rather have peace and quiet. He looked at Huo Xi and said, "For Mianmian's mental and physical health, Huo Xi, we should also get along peacefully."

Ho-xi found it ridiculous: "Isn't this a bit late to be saying these things From the moment you chose to raise Song Yun, you never cared about the children's mental and physical health. Do you know how terrified Mianmian was when Song Yun tied her up Do you know she has nightmares often If you really cared about Mianmian's well-being, you should let us go back, instead of keeping us here to satisfy your endless desires."

Zhang Chongguang lowered his eyes,

He stared at the pockmarks on her back, speaking in a low voice: "When you give birth to my child, I'll let you go."

A suffocating feeling, tightly gripping Huo Xi's heart.

Does he still want her to give birth here

He spoke as if trying to please her.

He said, "His surname is Huo and his name is Xīn. How about that"

Huo Xin and Huo Xi are Zhang Chongguang's heart and soul. He thought about this name for a long time and thought it was very good.

Huo Xi looked at him, feeling helpless. Had Zhang Chongguang gone mad, or was she the one who had lost her mind!

She didn't respond to him and went upstairs by herself.

Zhang Chongguang stared at her back, his already pale face even paler. A servant saw that his expression was not good and asked, "Sir, would you like to have breakfast"

Zhang Chongguang supported himself with the armrest, feeling the warmth left by Huo Xi.

He lingered in the caress.

Yesterday he had embraced her with such fervor, but now he felt nothing of her warmth. Had Huo Xi...lost all interest in him

No matter what he does, no matter how much he does, all he gets is disgust

From that day on, their interactions fell into an awkward pattern.

Huo Xi was cold towards him, unwilling to have anything to do with him. Almost every time, he would feed her those sweet things, but after each time they were together, his body felt empty. Each time after, Huo Xi's mocking expression, as if she were ridiculing a useless man!

Zhang Chongguang certainly wasn't incapable, but what saddened him was that he couldn't bring happiness to Huo Xi.

When she was awake, she felt nothing at all.

He wasn't without trying. He tried to stir up her feelings, but all he got was pain and rejection.

She was pinned beneath him, her expression of suppressed disgust stabbing at his eyes.

But even so, he was still eager to be intimate with her.

Huo Xi discovered that, especially during her fertile period, Zhang Chongguang would deliberately sleep with her… Afterward, he would gently caress her body and hold her in his arms, preventing her from taking a hot bath.

This evening also.

She rolled over to face away from him, pulling the thin blanket up over herself. In the darkness, she whispered, "It's no use, Zhang Chongguang, give up on that idea. We won't have any more children."

Zhang Chongguang remained silent.

He encircled her slender waist from behind, his warm palm resting on Huo Xi's abdomen.

There it still was, soft and flat, but perhaps already pregnant with a child... Hossi took his medicine every day, he knew that, but it was just folic acid.

He said in a low voice, "So long, Huo Xi, haven't you had even a sliver of softening Look, we've gotten along very well this past while. We could completely return to how things were before."

Hosei's answer was to throw back the covers, get up and go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Zhang Chongguang looked at her back, his eyes deep. He lay there for a while before getting up and going to the guest room to freshen up. Then he went to help Mianmian with her homework. Lately, Huo Xi had loved to sleep, so most of Mianmian's homework was tutored by him. However, the little girl was increasingly unwilling to pay attention to him...

Time flies.

Half a month later, one morning, Huo Xi sat on the toilet in the bathroom, staring blankly ahead.

Her period is three days late and hasn't arrived.

A woman's intuition, coupled with physiological changes, left her feeling uneasy. She sat quietly for a long time before getting up and dressing herself. Pretending to be unwell, she said she wanted to eat breakfast upstairs and asked the maid to bring it to her.

Ten minutes later, the maid carried a tray upstairs.

As she placed each breakfast item on the small dining table, Huo Xi walked to the living room doorway and softly closed the door.

She turned to look at the maid and asked in a soft voice, "What did Mr. give you"

Originally, she just wanted to scare the maid.

To my surprise, the maid confessed to her wrongdoing. Fear seized her, and her anxiety made her blurt everything out. She twisted her apron nervously and stammered, "Sir found out that day. It was Sir who gave me the medicine. I thought since Sir loved his wife so much, he wouldn't harm her... So..."

Huo Xi closed her eyes lightly; she understood everything.

Is the medicine she's taking really working

She had been outmaneuvered by Zhang Chongguang. No wonder he was so certain there would be a child, for everything was under his control. She lowered her head and gently stroked her stomach...

Here, a child should have been born already.

This child was forced and schemed into existence by Zhang Chongguang, Huo Xi didn't know how to cope, she didn't even know how to treat this child. Should she abandon her Should she abort her

At this moment, her hatred for Zhang Chongguang reached its peak.

The maid looked at her face and guessed what had happened. She trembled all over. Huo Xi knew that getting angry with her was useless. The maid, like her, was just under Zhang Chongguang's control. She slowly sat down on the sofa and said very softly: "You go out! Close the door."

The maid let out a sigh of relief. She wanted to comfort Hosei, but seeing his expression, she gave up.

The door gently closed.

Huo Xi looked at the bottle of medicine on the tea table, and quietly went out.

After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door opened and a slender figure walked in.

She didn't need to look to know it was Zhang Chongguang, the maid must have told him. Huo Xi raised his eyes with a mocking tone: "Zhang Chongguang, are you here to inspect the results Should I congratulate you"

Zhang Chongguang slowly walked in front of her, he half-knelt down.

His fingers gently stroked her belly, and he whispered, "We have another baby, don't we"

Ho Xi stood above him, looking down.

She looked at him, his hand trembling as he placed it on her stomach. His whole demeanor radiated the joy of becoming a father, yet Ho Xi felt only irony. Her voice was low and hoarse: "I won't give birth."

Zhang Chongguang looked up and said lightly: "You'll want her! This is a life."

He had barely finished speaking when a heavy slap landed across his face.

"Hosick couldn't control her emotions, her voice hoarse. "Zhang Chongguang, you know this is a life! Is this how you treat life We were already over, you created a child in this way, do you think we will go back to the past Tell me, how can we go back Do you want to keep giving me that forever Don't you think it's tragic for a child to be born into such a family"

Zhang Chongguang suddenly grasped her nape.

He had a handsome face, just as repressed as hers. He gave a light smile: “Compared to you, I think losing you is more pitiful! Huo Xi… let’s remarry. As long as you change your heart, I won’t mind that you miss Bai Qi anymore. Even if you visit him every week, I have no objection, as long as you stay with me.”

Hoxi pushed him away. "Are you crazy!"

Zhang Chongguang took a few steps back. He didn't refute, he just looked at her. They both knew Huo Xi's constitution couldn't have a miscarriage, she could only give birth to the child...n, resting her small head on his shoulder and whispered, "I know Daddy loves me the most! Daddy did this because Gu Changqing doesn't like me."Wenbo stroked her head, "Who wouldn't like my little baby...
