Chapter 617 Which son did it?

Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy in the face of his son's plea.

As a husband, he failed to take good care of Xia Ningxi; as a father, he failed to provide his children with a stable family. From any perspective, Huo Nanxiao is not a responsible person.

He felt guilty and hugged Huo Yuan, whispering, "I understand."

"Did Daddy promise me he'd be nicer to Mommy?" Huo Yuan asked with a big smile.

Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "Yes, I promise you, I will be good to your mother and to both of you. Ayuan, trust Daddy, can you give Daddy another chance?"

Huo Yuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I can give Daddy another chance because you are my daddy, but you are not my younger brother and sister's daddy yet. They have a good life abroad and many godfathers. Even Uncle Tang En is very good to them. But here, Daddy has to be mean to them."

"I—" Huo Nanxiao didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Huo Yuan continued, "I know Daddy feels sorry for Aunt Wanwan, but... but we are a family. Even if Xingxing did something wrong, Daddy shouldn't be so harsh on him. Because you were the one who made the mistake in the first place. Because you failed to handle these things well, that's why your brother hates Xia Wanwan. He just wanted to vent his anger for Mommy. If Daddy and her hadn't bullied Mommy, your brother wouldn't have done these things at all."

Although Huo Yuan is very young, he is more sensitive than anyone else.

He was the one among the three children who longed for a complete family the most. He wanted his own dad and his own mom. He didn't want to go back to living that kind of life of fear and anxiety with Xia Luoluo. He knew that only with his dad and mom would he be safe from harm.

But Daddy can't give him these things.

Huo Yuan opened his arms and hugged Huo Nanxiao tightly, but his small hands were trembling; he was afraid.

"Go to sleep, Daddy will stay with you," Huo Nanxiao said softly.

Huo Yuan asked, "Daddy, will you sleep with me?"

"Okay." Huo Nanxiao carried the child into the guest room.

Xingxing and Chuchu are both very well-behaved. The two little ones grew up together and sleep close together. They can sleep soundly without adults by their side.

Huo Yuan has been separated from his parents since he was a child. Although he is the eldest brother, he is the most timid. He is afraid to sleep alone and is especially afraid of the dark. He needs an adult to accompany him at night. But now that he has younger siblings, Huo Yuan can sleep very well.

After carrying Huo Yuan to bed, the little guy instinctively rolled over to Xingxing's side and slept snuggled up to her.

Huo Nanxiao smiled gently and said softly, "Do you really want Daddy to stay with you? Your younger brother and sister can stay with you too."

Huo Yuan said, "Daddy, stay with us tonight. Daddy hasn't slept with us in a long time. I want to sleep with Daddy."

Huo Nanxiao felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He felt the same way. Looking at the well-behaved Huo Yuan and the other two little ones, sitting beside them, Huo Nanxiao always felt an unprecedented sense of peace. Especially when he saw the peaceful little faces of the three little ones, the calm sea in his heart felt warm and tranquil.

Huo Nanxiao touched Xingxing's little face and smiled. Then, looking at the little girl Chuchu, his smile became even more beautiful. Having two handsome sons was already enough to make Huo Nanxiao proud, but this little girl was even more beautiful. She was a delicate, exquisitely beautiful little doll, incredibly cute, even when she was asleep.

Huo Nanxiao liked this little girl the most, but she just wouldn't pay attention to him. If she was ever particularly enthusiastic, it was either because she wanted Huo Nanxiao's money or because she wanted his life.

"Little money-grubber." Huo Nanxiao tapped the little girl's nose.

"Woo." Chu Chu hummed softly in her baby voice, turned over, and hugged her brother Xingxing to continue sleeping.

She was sleeping so soundly, her little face was so round and chubby, she was incredibly cute.

Every time Huo Nanxiao saw Chu Chu's little face, he couldn't help but have the urge to pinch her cheeks. However, since the little girl didn't like him, Huo Nanxiao could only pinch her cheeks more often when she was asleep.

Huo Yuan tilted his head and asked, "Daddy, why are you bullying my sister?"

Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "My little sister is cute."

Huo Yuan said, "But we can't keep pinching my sister's face. What if we hurt her face?"

"Yes, you're right. Let her get some sleep. We'll do the same. I'll cook something delicious for you all tomorrow morning after you wake up," Huo Nanxiao said.

Huo Yuan nodded obediently, and the little bundle snuggled into Huo Nanxiao's arms.

Huo Nanxiao held the children and slept all night, but he couldn't sleep well at all. The video kept replaying in his mind, as did Xia Wanwan's words. Huo Nanxiao really wanted to know the truth about what happened back then.

The next morning, he sent a message to Helian Jue, asking him to investigate what happened back then.

At first, Helian Jue didn't pay much attention, saying, "Hasn't the matter from back then already been investigated? What else is there to investigate?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Not necessarily. What we see may not be the truth."

"What do you mean? You don't actually suspect Xia Wanwan, do you? If you say that, then this is a big problem. If Xia Wanwan knew that you suspected her, she would probably be heartbroken." Helian Jue became interested and suddenly wanted to see Huo Nanxiao make a fool of himself.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I've sent you the video. The technical department has checked it, and it's authentic. I want to know what exactly happened back then."

"What video? Let me see." Helian Jue said, curiously opening the video Huo Nanxiao had sent. The content shocked him. "Li Yancheng contacted Xia Wanwan back then?"

Huo Nanxiao replied, "Yes, but it's unclear exactly what happened. I need more clues."

"Where did you get the video from?" Helian Jue asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "It was downloaded from Li Yancheng's home computer."

"Wow, amazing! You actually broke into the Li family's network. They're one of the world's top hackers. I've never heard of anyone having such skill as stealing something from Li Yancheng's computer. You're the only one who can do that. Amazing! How did you do it? Are the Huo family's hacking skills really that good?" Helian Jue was extremely shocked, his words filled with admiration.

Huo Nanxiao's face was serious as he said, "It was my son who found out."

"Your son? Are you kidding me?" Helian Jue was even more shocked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Xingxing stayed at Li Yancheng's house for one night. That's why the video can't be leaked. Perhaps Li Yancheng hasn't found out about it."

"No, your son hacked into the Li family's computer? Nan Xiao, this kind of thing is definitely confidential. How did your son get such a great ability? Which son? Xia Xingxing?" Helian Jue was still shocked. He hadn't been this agitated even when Huo Nan Xiao cheated on him.
