Chapter 59 Who is more important, Su Anran or Mommy?
Sui Sui wanted to refuse.
He wanted to take care of his mother himself.
Before he could insist on his own idea, his father dragged him to the bedroom and threatened him, "If you don't obediently wash up and go to bed, I'll tell her tomorrow that I brought her back."
“You…” Every year brings a little bit of surprise.
"Go quickly," Huo Zhizhou urged him.
Sui Sui stood still, saying, "I'll wait for you."
Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more. After taking the makeup remover to the bedroom, he skillfully and meticulously removed her makeup, paying extra attention to areas such as the corners of her eyes and around her lips.
After finishing all that, I wiped her face with a washcloth until there was no residue left.
Sui Sui saw all of this, and unconsciously recalled how her mother used to accompany her father to banquets and fall asleep in the car when they got back too late. Her father would tell her not to wake her up and would personally and tenderly help her remove her makeup and wash up.
They're still the same as before, so why has their relationship changed?
Huo Zhizhou caught a glimpse of him standing there dumbfounded out of the corner of his eye. He didn't ask immediately but told him to go out and wait. After changing Jiang Ruan's pajamas, he went to Sui Sui's room and sat down to talk to him: "Why do you look like that? You look like a little old man."
"Daddy." Sui Sui's little legs were crossed on the bed.
Huo Zhizhou's voice rose slightly: "Hmm?"
Sui Sui asked with extra seriousness, "You still love Mommy, right?"
Huo Zhizhou paused.
His movements froze for a moment.
“I don’t know why you’re with another aunt, and I don’t understand what makes her more important than Mommy.” This was the first time Sui Sui had spoken to him about this seriously, her little face unusually solemn. “But since you still care about Mommy, why did you give her up?”
"I haven't given up on her." Huo Zhizhou's thin lips parted slightly.
Whether at the beginning or now, it's always her who wants to separate and file for divorce.
If she turns back, even now, he can disregard everything from the past and let her be Mrs. Huo again.
Although she is young, she understands a lot: "If you stay with that aunt, it's a disguised way of giving up on her, or forcing her to give up on her own."
Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly.
I disagree with his statement.
"I want to ask you a question." Sui Sui decided to give her father another chance, after all, he had just been very nice to her mother.
Huo Zhizhou seemed a little out of sorts: "Go on."
"Who is more important, Mommy or that auntie?" Sui Sui asked, her round eyes looking at him with a complex expression.
Huo Zhizhou pursed his lips into a thin line.
From an emotional perspective, ginger is more important.
Rationally speaking, Su Anran is more important. After all, if she hadn't saved him back then, Huo Zhizhou wouldn't exist now, let alone marry Jiang Ruan.
Sui Sui didn't get the answer she wanted, and her young heart was slightly hurt: "Can you break off contact with that aunt?"
"No," Huo Zhizhou replied, his words devoid of emotion.
I received this answer.
That last bit of hope for each year is gone.
He loosened his crossed legs, pulled the blanket over himself, and gestured for her to leave, even changing his tone of address to one of distance and respect: "Please go back. Don't keep that auntie waiting at home."
Huo Zhizhou reached out and rubbed his head.
They intentionally avoid it every year.
My hand froze in mid-air, and I felt a sharp prick in my heart.
"From now on, I only have Mommy, so please don't come anymore." Sui Sui's little temper flared up. "I will find a dad who loves both me and Mommy, so just pretend I'm dead."
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
Huo Zhizhou poked him on the head with his index finger: "What nonsense are you spouting all day long?"
Sui Sui grabbed the edge of the blanket with her little hands and pulled it down sharply, covering her head and body under the blanket, using her actions to resist his touch.
Huo Zhizhou adjusted the position of the blanket to expose his head for better ventilation.
Seeing his eyes tightly closed and his expression of disapproval, he didn't insist on waking him up. Instead, he spoke to him gently and patiently as usual, saying, "Rest well and don't think about anything else. No matter what happens between Daddy and Mommy, our love for you will never diminish."
He ignored her every year.
I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Huo Zhizhou bent down and placed a goodnight kiss on his forehead: "Goodnight."
Seeing that he still didn't intend to talk to her, Huo Zhizhou turned off the light for him and closed the door. At that moment, Sui Sui opened her usually clean and pure eyes in the darkness.
However, at this moment, it is covered by something else.
After Huo Zhizhou left his room, he went to check on Jiang Ruan again. She was still in the same sleeping position as before, lying there quietly without making a fuss.
He sat down by the bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, her breathing even, very obedient.
Subconsciously.
His large, warm hand unconsciously rested on her face, his palm pressed against her cheek, and he thought to himself.
Why can't you be as obedient as you are now normally?
He didn't leave immediately. Even though he knew that Jiang Ruan wouldn't cause trouble when she was drunk and would sleep quietly until she woke up naturally, he was still a little worried that something unexpected might happen.
He sat on the edge of the bed in his shirt from around 9 p.m. until after 4 a.m., until Jiang Ruan frowned and showed signs of waking up. Only then did he leave the bedroom quietly, take his coat from the sofa, and go downstairs.
Perhaps it was Sui Sui's words that influenced him.
After leaving, a feeling of unease spread through my chest and lingered in my mind.
He didn't return to the waterside villa immediately, but instead called Gu Shixi and asked him to come out.
"Big brother!" Gu Shixi yawned repeatedly. "Don't you want to check what time it is? Just because I can stay up with you until four in the morning doesn't mean I can get up at four in the morning. What does it have to be now?"
"It's okay, you go to sleep." Huo Zhizhou realized the time and prepared to hang up.
Gu Shixi immediately perked up.
In the past, he would have been held a grudge for saying such things, but this time nothing happened.
"What's wrong?" He didn't hang up, pressing for an answer. "Did something happen?"
Huo Zhizhou remained calm: "It's nothing, you can continue sleeping."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Gu Shixi's question was left unanswered.
He dialed back, the phone buzzing in Huo Zhizhou's hand. He knew it was Gu Shixi calling, but his mind was so preoccupied that he didn't even feel like raising his hand, let alone answering or hanging up.
He hadn't done this for a long time since that incident.
Gu Shixi called once but no one answered, so he didn't call again. He got out of bed, grabbed some clothes, put them on, and drove off.
Even if Huo Er didn't say it, he knew where to find him at this time.
Twenty minutes later.
On the second floor of Huo's Group's top-tier entertainment club, Huo Zhizhou sat back on the sofa, his eyes closed and his head resting on it.
He was the only person in the private room. Apart from a car key and a cell phone, there was nothing else on the table.
This was the scene Gu Shixi saw when he came in. He quickly walked over to him, threw the car keys on the table, and said, "Speak, what's wrong?"
Huo Zhizhou opened his unfathomable eyes.
I was a little surprised to see him.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm just here to watch the drama unfold." Gu Shixi said in a light and natural tone, "and also to see why our arrogant Second Young Master Huo has such an expression."
