Chapter 175: What Secret Is She Hiding?

t you come back again Wén Xīxī, you're getting bolder by the day, aren't you""No, no, no, Mr. Huo, it's not that I've gotten braver, it's just that I'm doing my duty. Look at you, after I gave you acu...:

One meal took about an hour and a half.

Although the food wasn't as plentiful as what you'd get at a hotel, because it was made by Wen Xixi herself, the children all ate with gusto and asked for more until their little bellies were round and full.

"Brother Yin, does mommy's dumplings taste good These are made with shrimp, you know."

"Hmm!"

Ho Yin was scooping up the last bite when he heard this, and without hesitation nodded.

Xiaoru is happy.

She is Mommy's diehard fan, always supporting Mommy's events no matter what.

But when she turned her head to look at her father and wanted to ask, she was suddenly frightened by his downcast gaze at the expression in front of her plate. Her little face turned pale, and she didn't dare speak again.

What is Daddy looking at

Why did your expression suddenly become so frightening It's as if you've seen something utterly unbelievable. Your dark, captivating eyes are swirling with intense emotion!

What's wrong with him Did he not like what Mommy cooked

The little girl was very wronged.

Wen Xuxu didn't notice this. She was busy clearing the table now. After a few children finished their meal, they left a messy table for her to clean up.

So, she didn't have the heart to pay attention.

If you noticed, she probably can't be as calm and collected as she was before.

This has been a long-standing habit of hers, because the person dislikes peeling oranges themselves and even more so their fingers getting sticky with sweet orange juice.

So back then, every time she snuck to see him, she would peel an orange and stick a toothpick in it. Then, while the Huo family was away, she'd stealthily slip it through the crack of his door.

How long has she been doing this

Wen Xuxu couldn't remember, only that the first time she gave it to him, he was in first grade of elementary school. Then, by the time he was sent abroad, she had graduated from elementary school.

Wen Xuxu was washing dishes in the kitchen, her mind racing about how to tell this man that she had agreed to let their eldest son stay.

"Yin Yin, come here and help Mommy carry the washed grapes outside."

"Good."

Huo Yin, who was playing with his younger brother, immediately got up and went to the kitchen to help Mommy carry grapes.

"Yinyin, listen to Mommy. Although we've already decided you'll sleep here, we still need to let Daddy know. So, why don't you take these grapes to Daddy and tell him Okay"

Wen Xuxu felt a little cowardly, she even wanted to let her son take the lead.

Of course Huo Yin wouldn't expose his mother, and he was also very willing to do this.

But when he brought out the grapes, he found that there was no daddy in the living room, and he didn't know where he had gone. He just saw that mommy's bedroom door was open.

Daddy is going to Mommy's room

Huo Yin came over holding grapes.

He really was, when he got to the door of the room, he saw his father inside.

However, what puzzled him was that his father was actually flipping through the books on Mommy's desk. He wasn't sure what he was looking for. Mommy usually kept her desk very tidy, but now there were several books she had been reading scattered all over it.

What is Dad doing

Huo Yin walked in: "Father, what are you doing"

Huo Sijue, who was flipping through these books as if possessed, finally froze his finger and stopped there.

What is he doing

Actually, he doesn't even know himself. Perhaps because the thought just now was too terrifying, and he wanted to find evidence immediately to prove it wasn't true, right

But, isn't that really the case

He stared blankly at the medical book in his hand, for a long time, his gaze never leaving the annotations on its pages.

"Daddy, I want to sleep here."

"...What"

“I won’t leave you, but I also like it when Mommy and my little brother are around. I…like the atmosphere tonight.”

He tried his best to express himself.

He didn't really want to leave his father, but he liked the atmosphere here so much. He had Mommy, his brother and sister here, and tonight felt so much warmer than that cold, impersonal Imperial Palace.

Huo Yin gazed up at his father with hopeful eyes.

It was a bit of a surprise. In the past, if he'd brought up this request, he would have gotten upset and turned into a terrible father. This time, after looking at him with unease, he surprisingly didn't object.

"Okay, I'll pick you up then."

"Good..."

It's surprisingly smooth sailing.

Huo Yin immediately excitedly held the plate of grapes and ran out again. He wanted to tell Mommy this good news as soon as possible.

As expected, Wen Xuxu, who was waiting for her son's news in the kitchen, was also a little disbelief when she heard this, "He really agreed"

"Hmm."

The little boy's eyes shone brightly in the kitchen's bright lights.

Then Wen Xixi believed it. Afterward, she let the child go out to play and tidied up the kitchen herself before coming out.

"You... what's wrong Why are you looking so pale"

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she ran into Huo Sijue who was also coming out of her bedroom. This man, in just ten minutes, seemed to have become a completely different person. His face was pale and blue, almost frightening to look at. know if it was unwilling to lose such warmth She suddenly reached out with both slender arms and embraced his neck."Good girl, sweetie, let mommy hold you for a while longer."She was dreaming, pullin...
