Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: This Is the Last Chance
It was only at this moment that Yun Xuefei realized she had been enduring far more over the past few months than she had thought.
She longed for him to be by her side during these months, even if he had unfortunately gotten infected. She wished she could be with him, rather than staying alone here, unable to do anything, only silently worrying and pretending as if nothing was wrong.
At last, Huo Yanzhao released her and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
"I’m sorry, Xuefei, I’m sorry..." He laughed hoarsely, yet the joy in his voice was evident, "I didn’t realize I still held such an important place in your heart. I didn’t expect... that you still deeply love me."
Yun Xuefei bit his neck, as if she wanted to take a piece of flesh out.
She didn’t hold back at all, as if she wanted to consolidate all her hatred into this one bite.
Huo Yanzhao didn’t struggle, as if he couldn’t feel the pain, allowing her to vent.
After a long while, Yun Xuefei released him while crying.
The skin on his neck had been broken by her and a trace of blood had seeped out.
She couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache and tremblingly caressed that spot.
"It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt." The man said hoarsely, "Xuefei, I’m so happy..."
"Huo Yanzhao..." She choked out, "This is the last chance..."
If you make me sad again, I will really... really ignore you forever...
Huo Yanzhao closed his eyes and softly responded with a hum, as if trying to merge her into his body entirely.
...
In the living room, Zhixi kept the two children company for quite a while.
Some noises vaguely came from the kitchen.
She couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.
"Aunt Xixi, when will Mom and Dad come out?" Tang Yuan glanced at the kitchen from time to time, a bit disappointed, "I have so much to tell Dad..."
Zhixi smiled and patted her head, "Dad is talking to Mom first, he’ll come out and listen to you in a bit."
"Okay..." she replied obediently, "Dad likes Mom more..."
Xiaobao, who was folding tin foil, sighed at this, feeling a sense of camaraderie: "Sister Tang Yuan, same at our house, Dad likes Mom the most and Mom likes Dad the most too."
Tang Yuan fidgeted a bit and said, "Our home is different, although Dad likes Mom the most, Mom still likes me the most."
Xiaobao, with an air of experience, said, "That’s not true, grown-ups all like to humor you, you’ll understand over time."
Tang Yuan was a bit stunned.
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh and tapped her son’s head lightly.
... It seems that once, she truly loved He Jingyao, so much so that even her son felt jealous.
Thinking of this, Zhixi was somewhat lost in thought.
Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Zhixi’s eyes lit up, and she ran over to open the door.
Sure enough, it was He Jingyao standing at the door.
The man saw her expectant face and couldn’t help but smile, pulling her into his arms: "Did you guess it was me?"
"Hmm..." Zhixi felt a bit embarrassed, and said, "Jingyao, Brother Huo is back."
The man was slightly taken aback: "Yanzhao?"
"Yes." Zhixi nodded, "Just about ten minutes ago."
"Where is he?" He Jingyao looked towards the living room but didn’t see Huo Yanzhao’s figure.
Zhixi pointed towards the kitchen, "He’s in the kitchen with Senior Yun Xuefei..."
He Jingyao furrowed his brows and huffed lightly, "Then there will be a wait."
