Chapter 736: In the depth of night, he stole a kiss from her

d her: "I haven't done anything yet, how could it hurt"Wen Man opened her eyes.Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, as if they were drenched in water...She gently stroked his handsome face, unco...Zhang Chongguang's heart melted.

He carried the lunch box over and first reached out to touch his son's little head…… At this moment, Little Zhang Rui had woken up a bit, not as soft as before, always with some awkwardness.

Zhang Chongguang sat down beside him.

His gaze fell on Huo Xi again, and as he turned his face, he noticed Rui Rui looking at him. The father felt a slight embarrassment: "Didn't you want to eat dumplings Can you sit up and eat them yourself"

Rueru nodded.

Zhang Chongguang's voice suddenly became hoarse: "I took Mom to the next room, but it wasn't comfortable sleeping there."

Ruirui couldn't help but say, "Be gentle, there's a baby in Mommy's tummy."

Zhang Chongguang's eyes ached and swelled, his throat felt tight with a metallic tang that surged up. He suppressed it again and again, managing not to lose composure in front of his son, only murmuring in a low voice, "Dad knows."

Huoxi remained unconscious, even when Zhang Chongguang carried her up.

The next bedroom is dim.

Zhang Chongguang gently laid Huo Xi on the soft bed. She seemed comfortable, lying on her side with her face pressed against the white pillow... Looking down, her slender figure in only a wool skirt was still unburdened by pregnancy, lying there so temptingly, radiating allure.

Zhang Chongguang couldn't resist any longer. He wanted to steal a kiss from her while she was sleeping.

He kissed her on the tip of her nose.

I had intended to stop at that, but when my lips touched her skin, I couldn't help myself… My lower lip moved gently to kiss her soft lips.

He didn't dare to disturb her at all.

He tasted it so lightly, carefully, as if handling a fragile and precious thing.

Huo Xi woke up.

Her eyes met his in the dim light. Perhaps not fully awake, she lacked the sharpness of her usual demeanor, a touch of bewilderment lingering like...like the dazed confusion she'd felt when he was beneath her.

Zhang Chongguang looked on, his heart aching.

He dared not look into those eyes, he feared even more her scornful, cold gaze once she woke.

So, before she could push him away, he mumbled, "I brought dumplings!"

The pressure on my body suddenly vanished.

The man got up and walked out, leaving Huo Xi alone lying in the dim space. Probably because the light was too dim, his other senses became particularly acute...

After a while, Huo Xi slowly raised her hand and lightly touched her lips.

There, a faint scent of tobacco lingered.

Just now, Zhang Chongguang kissed her

……

Xiao Zhangrui is a meticulous child. Even though he had a dizzying headache, he got out of bed and brushed his teeth.

As he passed by, he also saw his father kissing his mother.

When Zhang Chongguang came back, he found the little guy staring at him. He opened the box while asking, "Why are you looking at Dad like that"

It's just that children can't control their impulses.

Xia Zhangrui, his little face flushed red from holding back, finally couldn't help himself. He buzzed out, "I saw your mother!"

Zhang Chongguang froze.

He looked at his son, little Zhang Rui said awkwardly, "Mom knows you'll be unhappy."

Ruirui bit her lip.

He was at the age when his sense of right and wrong was most acute. Although he didn't say anything out loud, he secretly despised this kind of behavior... This made Zhang Chongguang feel even more awkward.

Just a kiss, yet it made him act like a reckless young boy.

He fed Rui Rui dumplings.

By now, he seemed to be feeling better. The little guy actually ate 12 dumplings in one go! He looked longingly at the remaining 20 , saying, "Tomorrow won't be this delicious!"

Zhang Chongguang patted his little head: "Want to eat, Dad will pack you one tomorrow."

Ruirui is full and wants to sleep again.

He lay on the soft pillow, staring at Zhang Chongguang without speaking, just watching.

"Are you still mad at your dad" Zhang Chongguang stroked his little face.

Ruerue hummed.

Zhang Chongguang's face showed a bit of disappointment, but he didn't say anything, just coaxed his son to sleep.

Ruer quickly fell asleep.

Zhang Chongguang sat quietly for a while, and Huo Xi didn't come out. He probably didn't want to face that kiss... He might as well just avoid seeing each other and pretend it never happened.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the son's ward.

It's really not suitable to argue or have a tantrum.

Their past was a mess, and now, restrained to the point of being almost emotionless, Zhang Chongguang stood by the window to see that a few flakes of fine snow were falling outside.

faintly and softly,

Fleeting, as if it never graced the world.

He couldn't help but think: perhaps for his whole life, he would have to live with the memories of the past. He had no right to participate in Hoxi's future, not even the right to ask about it.

As night deepened.

The two of them, one standing by the window outside and the other sitting on the bed inside.

Contemplating in silence.

>Love or hate, in fact, both think of each other.

……

In the morning, Huo Xi woke up and Zhang Chongguang had already left.

The heater was on in the room, but his scent had long since dissipated.

On Ruru's bedside table, there was a fresh lunch box filled with breakfast Zhang Chongguang had made early that morning... Soy milk, handmade red bean cakes, and a few other snacks. It was evident that he had put a lot of effort into making them so delicately.

Ruirui was afraid that Huo Xi would be unhappy and didn't move.

Huo Xi softly said, "Go wash up and have breakfast. Don't you love these the most"

Rueru wanted to speak but held back.

Huo Xi walked over and gave him a gentle kiss: “What happened between your parents is our business… You and Mianmian like your father, and your father is willing to take care of you both. Don’t feel guilty towards your mother.”

Rueru has always been strong, but this time she stayed in her mother's arms for a long time.

While he went to wash up, Huo Xi walked to the window.

Only then did I realize it had snowed overnight.

There was over 20 centimeters of snow piled on the ground. It wasn't just difficult to drive, even walking was hard... Huo Xi looked at the lunchbox again, guessing that Zhang Chongguang had made it early and brought it over.

The better he did, the more saddened Ho Xi felt.

She extended her slender fingers and lightly traced across the window. It wasn't until she came to her senses that she realized it was a maple leaf.

The door to the ward creaked open, and Zhang Chongguang walked in.

He saw the maple leaf, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Ho Xi"

Huo Xi wiped the window clean and turned to him, saying very calmly, “Rui Rui’s fever has broken, he should be fine. You go ahead with what you were doing.”

Zhang Chongguang closed the door.

He was wearing a coat, with snowflakes still clinging to it. He stared at her for a long time before finally giving a faint smile: “I don't have anything important to do either! For the New Year... there... aren't any relatives coming to visit.”

Once, the Huo family was his only relative.

During the New Year, he always followed the Huo family. When he was young, Huo Shaoting would take him to visit relatives and friends, introducing him as his own son. Now that he is alone, where are there any relatives!

They looked at each other in silence, both lost in thought.

Just then, RuiRui arrived. Zhang Chongguang took care of him, and Huo Shaoting also called to tell Huo Xi... Huo Zhendong was fine, so she shouldn't worry about him. Wen Man would come to the hospital in the afternoon.

Ho Xi hummed and hung up the phone.

Zhang Chongguang looked up, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Grandpa doesn't feel well I'll go take a look!"

Ho Xi put away his phone.

She was, after all, mindful of her son's presence and politely declined: "Grandpa, I'm getting older and not feeling well. It might be inconvenient... Let's do it next time!"

Zhang Chongguang understood her meaning.

His eyes were dim, but he ultimately didn't say much.

This afternoon, Wen Man came over. She was accompanied by Huo Yunsi and his wife An Ran, as well as Huo Jiao.

After greeting, Zhang Chongguang left first. As he walked down the corridor, he leaned against the wall...his heart ached terribly. He regretted it, regretted how he had angered Song Yun with his behavior towards Xi, regretted wanting to give up on their marriage, and even more so regretted forcing Xi to get pregnant later on.

But no matter how much he regretted it, he knew that from the moment he let Song Yun stay by his side, he had lost Huo Xi.

She was such a proud person.

How could you willingly accept a man with flaws, time and time again

A gaze was fixed on him.

Zhang Chongguang looked up and saw Huo Yunsi. He straightened his body and asked very softly, "Do you want to beat me up or laugh at me"

Huo Yunsi's expression was faint, and she stated calmly, "I guess you still have hope in your heart."

Zhang Chongguang didn't deny it.

Huo Yunsi let out a sneer.

He stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Chongguang's neck, and pressed him against the wall, snarling, "What gives you the right! What gives you the right to still want happiness, to still want everything after all this Zhang Chongguang, don't you think you're greedy Do you think the only one hurt by all these horrible things you've done is my sister Do you know how many cigarettes my father has smoked this past year...He treated you like a son and this is how you repay him! If you're a man, stop thinking so much!"

Zhang Chongguang did not struggle.

He leaned against the wall, his gaze lowered to meet Huo Yunsi's. He didn't deny it.

He said, "Yes! I still have a glimmer of hope! Huo Yunsi... Don't you even allow me to have hope"

"When you were doing those things, did you leave any room for my sister"

"She's someone who loves face so much! You humiliate her with a woman, you let her hurt her time and again... You even forced her to get pregnant, don't you know how dangerous that is What if the child has problems Tell me what to do You madman, all you care about is wanting her and living with her, but have you ever thought about her Not a bit! You only think about yourself."

After Huo Yunsi spoke, she suddenly let go of him.

He said, "Show some dignity, Zhang Chongguang. You're now one of the top bosses in City B, you can have any woman you want. Why do you pretend to be so kind and stay here every day Just take a step outside, the sky out there is vast!"

He left in his complete set of clothes.

Zhang Chongguang remained in place, chewing on Huo Yunsi's words. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

Yes, the outside world is vast.

He used to think the same way, which is why Song Yun appeared. But he regrets it now.

He didn't want to go out, his heart was trapped here in Hoxi.

He didn't want anyone, only Hoxi... But do they, and the future, even existod in a month and a half.”Ho Shao-ting was visibly startled.He slowly raised his eyes, looking at her: "Really"Wen Man hummed in response, she reached out and covered her abdomen, feeling a bit wistfu...
