Chapter 2311: Chapter 656: Husband_2
Father Xia wanted to say something, but he couldn’t understand why his own son’s blood was different from his.
Xia Hau saw his father’s bewildered expression and sighed inwardly. He knew these things were too unbelievable for a man who had lived honestly all his life, but he didn’t want to hide it from his parents forever.
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, the door to the hospital room was opened, and Ruan Xue and An Yiqing walked in.
"Xiao Qing? Why are you here?" Xia Hau quickly stood up to take the items from Ruan Xue and An Yiqing’s hands, "Dad, Xiao Qing is here to see you."
Father Xia was very familiar with An Yiqing. He quickly perked up and smiled at An Yiqing, "Xiao Qing is here, come sit down. Um... Xiao, Xiao Xue, you sit too. Let Xiao Hau handle the busy work."
Ruan Xue blushed; this was the first time Father Xia spoke to her as a future father-in-law. She felt a little at a loss, much more reserved than when she first met Father Xia and Mother Xia at the restaurant.
Father Xia also looked at Ruan Xue with complex emotions. This young lady, his son’s girlfriend, turned out to be the sister of the general manager of Muyun Group. Her identity was intimidating! But thinking about how she had stayed with his silly son for over half a year, Father Xia felt a great deal of gratitude.
An Yiqing saw both of them feeling awkward and gently smiled to lighten the mood.
"Xiao Xue, sit down." She pulled Ruan Xue to sit on the chair next to the hospital bed, then turned to Father Xia with a smiling gaze, "Uncle, I’ll check you over later. This half year, Haozi and Xiao Xue have really gone through a lot for your and Auntie’s health."
Father Xia nodded in agreement, "Xiao Qing, thank you so much for your help these past six months. And Xiao Xue, thanks for enlightening Xia Hau for me."
Ruan Xue blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, "Don’t mention it, Uncle. It’s what I should do."
At this time, Xia Hau walked in with washed fruits and then brought out porridge and small dishes. Seeing this, Ruan Xue immediately stood up, "Uncle, I didn’t know your taste, so I bought a few different kinds. What do you think?"
Father Xia looked at the three different flavors of porridge in front of him, nodding continuously, unable to hide the delight in his eyes, "Good, Xiao Xue, you’ve been considerate. Have you guys eaten yet? Let’s eat together?"
"Dad, we just finished eating dinner." Father Xia smiled as he put the porridge and small dishes on the table, turning to ask An Yiqing, "Xiao Qing, have you eaten?"
An Yiqing wiggled her nose, touched her stomach, "I’ve eaten too, but I’m still a bit hungry. Uncle, you don’t mind me stealing food from you, do you?"
Father Xia laughed and shook his head to show he didn’t mind.
An Yiqing chose a sweet porridge with a graceful smile. Knowing that the Xia family preferred savory food, she naturally left the century egg and lean meat porridge for Father Xia. Holding the fragrant and sweet corn porridge, An Yiqing sat on the chair, directing Xia Hau and Ruan Xue around with no reservations.
"I left my medicine box in the car, you two go get it for me."
Xia Hau deftly took the car keys and left the hospital room, hand in hand with Ruan Xue. Before leaving, he gave An Yiqing a ’please’ look, at which An Yiqing smiled and squinted her eyes.
Haozi’s change of identity was something difficult for his father to accept, and in this situation, someone had to mediate. That someone could only be her and her master.
With the hospital room door closed, only Father Xia, An Yiqing, and the sleeping Mother Xia were left in the room.
"Uncle, how does the lean meat porridge taste?" An Yiqing asked.
"Not bad, Xiao Xue is a thoughtful girl." Father Xia nodded, his face full of emotion, pondering something.
An Yiqing glanced at Father Xia, "Uncle, are you worried about Haozi?"
Father Xia sighed and put the bowl of porridge down on the table, "Ah, Xiao Qing, Haozi has been just an ordinary child all his life, how did things change after just a nap? If I weren’t sure he was my son, I’d almost think this Xiao Hau is a different person. It’s just... hard to accept."
An Yiqing listened to Father Xia’s ramblings with a smile. Indeed, having one’s own son change completely after a nap would worry anyone.
"Uncle, you worry too much. These things, Haozi would face sooner or later. Even if you and Auntie hadn’t had this incident, maybe in half a year or a year, the Bruch family would have found him anyway. His body’s blood inherited such great power; despite being ordinary before, someday in the future he would become a shining piece of gold. Uncle, rather than hide and live a simple life, only to be found by enemies in the end and die from being unable to resist, I think helping Haozi become strong, a leader among people, is a better path." An Yiqing paused, "Of course, I know you and Auntie’s wish is for him to live a safe life, but Uncle, Haozi’s fate was set from birth. Even if you can’t accept it, you must strive to adapt. Do you want Haozi to be worried when facing enemies in the future?"
