Because of this, she was grateful to Han Yuxue, and that was why he had asked her to meet him today. That was why she went out to meet him. However, she didn't expect that in the future ?
Thinking about what Han Yuxue had said to insult her mother, Ye Xi was still trembling with anger.
Sensing her trembling, Huo Yaoting tightened his brows, hugging her tightly by her waist, hugging her tightly while she was facing him.
Huo Yaoting closed his eyes. His long, sleek black eyelashes shone with a cold shadow as he kissed her.
The little girl suppressed her sobs like a wounded beast, preventing Huo Yaoting from continuing.
As he stopped kissing, Huo Yaoting slowly opened his eyes. Inside the deep black lake, Ye Xi actually saw a trace of unease.
Ye Xi looked at him with tears in her eyes. One of her hands covered his eyes and her mouth was swollen from his kiss.
Huo Yaoting kissed her lightly, then picked her up and placed her on the sofa beside him.
He stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the living room.
Ye Xi sat obediently and watched him walk into the washroom.
The uneasiness she had seen in the depths of his eyes had caused her heart to feel as if a huge rock had been stuffed into it. She felt a stifling pain in her heart.
She knew that because of the shadow of her childhood, the man who looked cold and tenacious was actually not as invincible as he looked on the surface. He also had something that made him feel insecure and unable to control.
The way this man expressed his unease also seemed to be used to using violence and savagery.
Perhaps, her estrangement and rejection of him would make him uneasy.
But just now, she had angered Han Yuxue because of what he had done to her mother. But what did this have to do with him? Han Yuxue was brought here by herself, he had no idea at all. He was Han Yuxue's son, an identity that he himself could not choose to change. She shouldn't have done that to him just now!
Thinking about that, Ye Xi suddenly stood up from the sofa and anxiously walked towards the washroom.
Just as she reached the door to the washroom, the bathroom door was opened from the inside.
Ye Xi was startled, and stared at the man who stood inside the door frowning.
The smell of smoke coming from the washroom made Ye Xi frown slightly, "Did you smoke?"
"Yes." Huo Yaoting replied indifferently, he leaned on the door and tilted his head, looking at Ye Xi.
He looked at her as if he could see through her.
Ye Xi was a little nervous, but after that, she reached out and grabbed Huo Yaoting's hand that was hanging by her side. Her pair of deep eyes were as clear and pure as an infant's eyes as she looked at Huo Yaoting.
Huo Yaoting did not react, and stared straight at Ye Xi.
"Hubby, I'm sorry." Ye Xi guiltily frowned, and said sincerely.
"Yes." Huo Yaoting nodded and stood up. He walked down the bathroom and walked towards the sofa.
Ye Xi held his hand and brought him to the sofa instead.
Seeing him sit down expressionlessly, Ye Xi stood in front of him, slightly stupefied.
Did he accept her apology by saying, "Yes," or was he simply listening to her apology and not prepared to forgive her?
Ye Xi blinked, raising her small head, and looked at him foolishly.
Huo Yaoting stared at the beautiful and clean face of the little girl. After a moment, he reached out and rubbed her head, as if he was touching an obedient little dog.
Ye Xi's eyes lit up, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Just as he was about to get up and sit beside him.
Ye Xi was slightly startled. She maintained the posture of squatting down in front of him, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Huo Yaoting retracted his hand, and reached into his pocket, pulling out a lighter to hold onto his phone, "The reason why you aren't answering my call today?"
Answer the phone?
Ye Xi was startled, and looked at the bag that she threw into the corner of the sofa.
Huo Yaoting also saw it, his eyebrows raised as he looked at Ye Xi silently.
Ye Xi pursed his lips, got up and walked to the side of the sofa, opened his bag and took out his phone.
She pressed the button on her cell phone's screen to unlock it, only to see more than ten missed calls from someone aggressively jumping in front of her eyes.
Ye Xi was speechless, he looked at Huo Yaoting i
ocently: "Hubby, I didn't mean not to pick up your phone ?" Ye Zichen shook his phone, "The phone is in my bag, I didn't hear it!"
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, "Why did mother-in-law suddenly faint?"
Ye Xi's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and said simply, "Mom has always been in bad health."
Huo Yaoting's fingers tightened on the lighter as he stared deeply at Ye Xi with his heavy eyes, "Have you seen a doctor?"
Ye Xi nodded, "Yes."
"What do you mean?" Huo Yaoting leaned forward, held onto Ye Xi's little hand and pulled her to sit beside him.
Ye Xi's throat tightened as she leaned on his shoulder and did not say a word.
"Hmm?" Huo Yaoting lowered his head and concentrated on her rosy red eyes, a profound look flashing past them.
Ye Xi clenched his fingers, "The doctor said that my mother is not really sick, but her body is very weak. She needs to be taken care of, no matter what ?."
Ye Xi did not say the last two words, as she was afraid that he would question her.
Huo Yaoting did not seem to be suspicious of what Ye Xi had to say at all, he tightly held her small hand, "What else did the doctor say?"
Ye Xi shook his head, "No more."
Ye Xi pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at Huo Yaoting, then asked about the doubt in his heart, "Hubby, did you and Grandpa Lan Shan know each other before?"
"?" Huo Yaoting lowered his eyebrows, "Mhm."
Ye Xi's thoughts were heavy, his big eyes stared at him in doubt.
He remembered the first time he officially visited her, and even dragged her to the painting shop to buy some of Grandfather Lan Shan's calligraphy and painting for her mother. So at that time, he already knew that Grandpa Lan Shan and her mother were father and daughter?
Ye Xi bit his lower lip, smiled and asked Huo Yaoting, "Hubby, when did you know about the relationship between my mother and Grandpa Lan Shan?"
Huo Yaoting looked at her suspicious little face and his eyes narrowed tightly. He didn't want to lie to her, he had actually found out about Xu Qiu's true identity eight years ago.
However, if he were to speak the truth, would the little girl think that he had approached her with a purpose?
Huo Yaoting had a faint thought that he wouldn't be able to hide his identity for long ?
Although he knew from the begi
ing that he would never hide it from her, he did not intend to tell her at this time.
Because the time was not ripe!
The little girl liked him, he could feel it.
However, the two of them had only been together for a few months after all. They did not have the deep feelings the other couples had accumulated over the years. Even now, the trust they had in each other was not enough for him to risk informing her of his identity.
So he must not tell her now.
Perhaps when she was pregnant with his child ? Women were always like this. With children, even if they had a full home for their children, they could always compromise easily. At that time, even if the little girl could not accept it, she would still choose to slowly accept his offer, right?
In fact, wasn't he already preparing for the day when his identity would be revealed? Let her conceive his child!
