Huo Shaoting had a thick face. He insisted on finishing the glass of water before letting go of Wen Man and speaking to the elders: "Teacher Wen was implicated by Mingzhu, so it's only right that I t...Huo Xi hung up the phone.

The driver also knew that human life was paramount, so he put his full attention into driving as fast as possible. The black car sped along the bustling streets.

Huo Xi sat quietly.

She had only been in labor for six days, and even though it was still the hot beginning of September, she still wore a jacket.

She had no makeup on, and lacked the usual vibrancy.

She gazed out the window, the scenery outside changing rapidly. Suddenly, a patch of red clouds flashed into her sight...it was maple trees.

Hoseki's slender fingers lifted gently...

Look, the maple trees are turning red again!

Year after year, she turned redder, and she and Zhang Chongguang drifted further apart year after year.

Huo Xi arrived at Zhang Chongguang's company.

Qin the secretary personally came down to greet them, and the entire first floor lobby of the company was set up in a state of readiness. Everyone had heard that their Zhang General had been working hard all year to mend his marriage. Rumors said the marriage hadn't been saved, but they did have another child.

Originally, Qin's secretary wanted to be polite, but Huo lowered his eyes.

She whispered, "I need to see Zhang Chongguang right away."

Qin the secretary hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang is waiting for you in the office, Mr. Huo, please this way."

Huo Xi clutched her coat as she got out of the car, hurrying towards the vast expanse of azure sky above. In the hall, her steps were measured and precise, betraying a visible tension. Everyone watched silently, not daring to even greet her.

Qin the secretary led everyone to the elevator.

The elevator goes straight to the top floor.

As Huo Xi pushed open Zhang Chongguang's office door, she saw him standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to her. Huo Xi could only see a blurry silhouette.

"Zhang Chongguang, what conditions would you require to..."

The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window froze, and he slowly turned back to look at her.

They had just met an hour ago, yet now he felt like a stranger. He smiled faintly and said to her, "I'd like to talk to you privately. Please give your phone to Secretary Qin."

"Zhang Chongguang!"

You can leave now, but I think right now besides me, no one else can save your father.

……

Ho Xi took out his phone, Qin's secretary hurriedly took it.

She knew it was inappropriate for her to be there, so she quickly retreated and closed the door. In the vast office, Huo Xi's breathing was a little rapid, and his face was even paler.

Huo Shaoting's life was hanging by a thread. Even if she had countless grievances in her heart, she could swallow her pride and beg him... because she couldn't bear the pain of losing her father, nor could she watch her mother heartbroken.

Hosei knew what she wanted, and she spoke softly, "I'll do anything for you."

Zhang Chongguang gazed at her, "Really Including remarrying me Including being a loving couple with me... Just like before, Huo Xi, can you really do it"

Huo Xi can't do it.

But she told him she could do it.

Zhang Chongguang walked slowly over, he and she standing at either end of the desk... On the blackwood desk lay a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which Huo Xi had never seen him wear before.

His long, handsome fingers gently picked it up and put it on.

"Hosei, I didn't want that much."

"I just want to take care of you during your confinement period, I mean for the full 60 days... Those 60 days we'll try to be real husband and wife. If after 60 days you can't accept me, then..."

Zhang Chongguang paused for a moment: "Then, I let you go!"

Huo Xi's rosy lips lost their color.

She knew exactly what he meant, but she had no time to think. She just whispered "yes."

But Zhang Chongguang felt it wasn't enough. He said that a verbal promise couldn't be guaranteed.

He sat down behind his desk, gently pulled open a drawer, and took out a freshly typed file. He looked up at Huo Xi and said: “Although I should trust you, having a document is more official. Huo Xi, you should know that time is precious, death doesn't wait for anyone.”

Huo Xi's eyes were a little red, she stared intently at Zhang Chongguang.

Just like when he was a child, occasionally making her angry, back then Zhang Chongguang would quickly let go of his reserve and coax her. However, the current Zhang Chongguang is as hardhearted as stone.

She thought, how wonderful!

Zhang Chongguang has used all the skills he learned from the Huo family on the Huo family members.

Huo Xi didn't hesitate. She took the file and signed it without even looking at it carefully. Her fingers trembled as she signed. Zhang Chongguang leaned over and grasped her hand... The instant they touched, Huo Xi instinctively wanted to pull away, but he held on tightly. His voice sounded in her ear: "Don't forget, we are going to be real husband and wife."

Huo Xi's fingers curled slightly.

For a moment, she ignored him and signed her name. She heard Zhang Chongguang say softly, "Huo Xi, we're finally together again."

She suppressed her disgust and asked, "Can you go to the hospital with me"

Zhang Chongguang suddenly hugged her to the desk and gently pressed down. The cold of the desk made him hesitate, so he used his palm to pad for her. His handsome face came closer to hers, his voice softer than before: "Huo Xi, in your heart, am I really such a heartless person"

"Yes." Ho Xi said resolutely.

She guessed it, but she didn't soften her heart because Zhang Chongguang had threatened her.

A soft chuckle sounded.

Zhang Chongguang's handsome face was buried in her neck, smiling softly, but there was no joy in it, only self-deprecation. After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "The plasma has been sent already. But what about Huo Xi You're still mine. I believe you keep your promises. You're a lawyer, aren't you"

"It's just temporary," Hoshi said coldly.

Zhang Chongguang's face moved, pressing against hers. It was probably because he had regained this person again. His whole body trembled slightly. He couldn't help but caress her body, loving every inch of it.

Huo Xi endured for a while, then said softly: "Don't forget that I'm still in confinement."

Zhang Chongguang's body sank down.

He stopped touching her, just holding her close. After a long moment, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Let's go to the hospital and see Dad. I think he's already had a blood plasma transfusion."

Then, he turned her face towards him.

Upon her soft lips, a gentle touch: "Hoshie, I'll be good to you."

……

Zhang Chongguang took Huo Xi out. Outside, Qin, the secretary, watched their expressions cautiously. Her heart trembled; their Zhang always seemed to dance on the edge of danger.

It seems that I'm destined to be entangled with the Huo family, for all my life.

Qin's secretary returned the phone to Huo Xi: "Mr. Huo, your phone."

Ho Xi didn't say anything, just quickly walked towards the elevator. But after all, she had just given birth and her blood was depleted. After only a few steps, her face turned pale.

Zhang Chongguang embraced her waist and whispered, "Uncle Huo is fine, he's already awake."

Ho Xi treated him very politely: "Thank you, Zhang Zong, for your timely rescue."

Zhang Chongguang gave a wry smile.

As soon as Huo Xi got into the car, Huo Yunsi's phone call came in. Huo Xi whispered to her about Huo Shaoting's situation... When Huo Yunsi asked about her, Huo Xi said faintly, "I'm coming to the hospital."

She couldn't think of anything else, only Huo Shaoting. Lu plopped down in her seat.She was in the mood to have a heart-to-heart talk with her son tonight, which unfortunately left Mingzhu feeling stifled under the covers. She wanted to move but Lu Qian w...
