her to marry into the Huo family is for their own gain.She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "You have the wrong person! I've completely broken up with him! I'm afraid your wish can't be fulfilled....Zhang Chongguang looked at the moisture in the corner of her eyes and felt deeply pained.

He reached out to wipe away her tears, but Huo Xi reacted strongly, waving his hand away. She mumbled, “Don’t touch me… Zhang Chongguang, don’t touch me!”

Because it's too disgusting!

The washroom light was hazy, and they looked into each other's eyes.

Zhang Chongguang's eyes still held affection, but Huo Xi had already decided to let go of everything... After a long silence, she whispered, "Yes, I am going to take Mianmian and Ruirui abroad, but not with Xie Jun. Zhang Chongguang, if you mind this, I have already told you, now... can you disappear from my sight"

After she finished speaking, she gently pulled on her silk nightgown.

It's really embarrassing.

The bathroom was quiet. Their child slept soundly in their shared bed in the bedroom, but between them there was only an unsettling sense of distance, a chilling lack of intimacy.

Zhang Chongguang took a step back, hitting the sink with his body.

He really wanted to light a cigarette, but when his hand reached for his pocket, he gave up. He looked at his former wife and, for the first time, confessed about his relationship with Song Yun: "At first, I just wanted to make you jealous or test you, but later... Maybe because our marriage was too dull, my relationship with her became like a ship that couldn't turn back, I couldn't pull it back. But Huo Xi, I never loved her."

He spoke sincerely, but Hosi didn't want to hear it.

She turned, her slender white fingers gripping the doorknob, and whispered, “You can savor this disgusting thing for yourself.”

Zhang Chongguang would not let her leave.

He grasped her wrist and pleaded in her ear, "Don't go abroad, okay"

Hoshie's answer was to shake his hand off…

In the morning, the whole Huo family, big and small, was gathered together.

Huo Shaoting was still the same as always, drinking his beloved black coffee with two slices of toast. Wen Man poured him a cup of warm milk with consideration: "Don't act like you're young anymore at this age. You don't worry about damaging your stomach by drinking coffee in the morning."

He simply shrugged it off and finished his coffee.

"By the way," he said to Wen Man after folding up the newspaper, "we've had a mouse infestation at home recently. You might ask the maid to buy some mousetraps later. I think that dog hole in the backyard is a major problem area; we should put several there."

Wen Man was puzzled: "What do you mean Do we have rats at home I didn't hear the maid mention it."

Ho Shaoting let out a light snort: "Not only do I have one, but it's quite large!"

Huo Xi kept silently eating breakfast. Hearing this, he put down his cup and said, "I'm done eating, Mom and Dad. I'll take Mianmian and Ruirui to school."

Ho Shao-ting called out to her, "I'll take it with your mother! Now that you live at home, there's no need to be so hard on yourself."

He Xi smiled faintly.

Mian Mian listened intently as Huo Shao Ting delivered his message, immediately sitting up straight and finishing her breakfast with utmost care.

Ho Shaoting glanced at the small, empty bowl and couldn't help but think of Ho Xi when he was little. When he was happy, he also liked to dig into his rice... For a moment, paternal affection welled up in him, and he reached out to touch Mianmian's little head.

Just like her mother.

……

The following days were peaceful. Zhang Chongguang seemed to have accepted the fact that Huo Xi had taken the children abroad. He didn't say anything more, but he would still pick up Mianmian and Rui Rui every weekend.

Although the two children were still awkward, they had softened considerably.

Friday afternoon.

Zhang Chongguang returned to his office after the meeting. He sat at his desk and flipped through a file, which contained information about a newly registered company abroad.

Yes, he is also going abroad.

Huoxi was leaving, he couldn't take her with him, so he would go abroad with her.

Zhang Chongguang was looking, the cell phone on his desk rang. Seeing it was a stranger number, he thought for a moment and picked up. After a moment of silence on the other end, he spoke: "Zhang Chongguang, let's meet!"

It was Song rhyme after all.

Zhang Chongguang frowned and said unhappily, "I won't see you! Don't call me again, that part of our lives is over."

Song Yun became agitated: "Zhang Chongguang, how can you say that the past is just the past What about me... How do you account for the feelings I put in My family all know that I'm dating and getting married."

Zhang Chongguang lit a cigarette.

He said in a cold voice, "I never said I would marry you."

Song Yun remained silent for a long time before saying sarcastically, “Right, I forgot. In your heart, Mrs. Zhang will always only be with Huo Xi, right But she doesn’t want you.”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Zhang Chongguang immediately blocked the caller. His slender fingers fiddled with his phone for a while and dialed a number to Yingjielu Law Firm. After being transferred, he got through to Huo Xi's line.

He hasn't been pestering her lately, and Huo Xi doesn't reject his requests to see the child anymore.

"What's up"

A voice, deep and husky yet mature, came from his phone. It was undeniably alluring...at least to Zhang Chongguang's ears.

He knew she had been getting pretty close to Xie Jun lately.

She would occasionally still go to that bar, listening to Xie Jun play guitar and sing love songs. He wasn't averse to it, but he dared not mention a word of it in front of Huo Xi, afraid she would feel disgusted.

Zhang Chongguang's voice softened: "Tomorrow afternoon, I want to pick up Mianmian and Ruier, Xiaoguang will bring them back too. I'll give it a bath."

This kind of inconsequential matter doesn't require communication at all.

Hoxi understood what he meant; he simply wanted to talk to her. She didn't expose him and just said softly, "I'll tell my dad, you can go directly."

Zhang Chongguang hadn't seen her for a while, and he couldn't help but want to see her.

He couldn't help but ask her in a low voice, "Why aren't you at home Did you make an appointment with Dr. Xie to play basketball or go horseback riding again"

Huo Xi smiled faintly, thinking of what was written in the newspaper: "It's nothing to do with Zhang Zong, right!"

Then she hung up the phone.

After dealing with Zhang Chongguang, she tidied up her things and was about to leave work early...Today Lu You had a signing event and invited her to have a look. Huo Xi loved his younger brother and sister very much and didn't want to disappoint them.

Just as she finished tidying up, her assistant knocked on the door.

"Mr. Ho, Miss Song would like to see you!"

Miss Song...Song Yun

Hoxi didn't expect that a name from the distant past would reappear in her life... She didn't want to see Song Yun because she and Zhang Chongguang had nothing to do with each other anymore. Song Yun should be something Zhang Chongguang needed to deal with.

But she, thinking of other things, said, "Let her come in!"

The assistant's voice was soft: "Okay!"

After a moment, Song Yun walked in. The assistant hesitated whether to brew a cup of coffee when Huo Xi spoke, "Go out first and close the door."

As the assistant brought in the door, Huo Xi looked at Song Yun.

Song Yun looked at the luxurious office, feeling insecure in her heart. Huo Xi had been given too much since birth.

She leaned against the door, unwillingly saying: "I... with Zhang Chongguang..."

Huo Xi interrupted her: "I don't want to hear your story about him. I just want to tell you, if you think Zhang Chongguang has let you down, you should find him instead of coming to me... I'm already divorced from him!"

Compared to her calmness, Song Yun was much more excited.

Song Yun smiled softly: "Divorce Yes... you are divorced, but he always runs to your place. He uses seeing the children as an excuse to get close to you every week, Lawyer Huo, you can't deny this, right"o a jewelry store and sold the bracelet. The bracelet was very pretty, but she decided to sell it now while it was brand new and had the receipt because it would be more profitable. Although she had a...
