Chapter 223 Warmth
The three of them went to the largest underground shopping mall in the city center. They first went to the fresh food area to buy food for tonight, and then took Xu Youyou to buy some children's books.
At the corner, a woman wearing a hat and a mask took a picture of the warm scene of the three people.
After coming out of the supermarket, Huo Xilin drove Xu Qingsui and the child back to Bishui Hua Ting.
"When will you move in?" Huo Xilin asked her.
"I...I have to go to work, so I don't have time to pick up Youyou from school. I live in the courtyard, and my brother and Lin Wan can help take care of her."
"Don't worry about these. I have Aunt Wang. If you are really worried, I can hire a highly educated nanny."
Xu Qingsui looked at him awkwardly: "I don't know how to explain this to my brother and Lin Wan."
She could clearly feel that her brother had a strong prejudice against Huo Xilin, and such a prejudice could obviously not be eliminated in a short period of time.
She didn't dare tell them about her remarriage with Huo Xilin because she was afraid that her brother would be angry. Firstly, it would be bad for his health, and secondly, it would exacerbate the conflict between her brother and Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin saw Xu Qingsui's embarrassment, he raised his hand and gently rubbed her head: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Xu Qingsui was stunned for a moment, then her nose felt sore, and she quickly lowered her head, fearing that he would notice her wet eyes.
No one will ever know the sense of security that Huo Xilin's touching the top of her head gave her.
Huo Xilin was cooking tonight and Xu Qingsui was helping him. Xu Youyou moved a small stool and sat in the living room to do her homework.
Through the glass window, Xu Youyou looked towards the kitchen. There were the backs of his parents, talking in his ears from time to time. This scene made his eyes brighten, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
In his past life, the word "father" was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
What is familiar is that all the children he has come into contact with have fathers, and sometimes they would ask him who his father is and why they have never seen him.
He was young and knew nothing, so he didn't know how to answer children's questions. Gradually, his temperament became colder and more withdrawn.
He doesn't like to hang out with talkative people.
The word "father" felt unfamiliar to him because he never knew who his father was, let alone had seen him.
But now it’s different, he has a father and a mother, and now they live together like ordinary people, which makes him feel an unprecedented happiness.
Xu Qingsui came out of the kitchen carrying some peeled fruit and saw Xu Youyou in a daze with a smile on her face.
Walking up to him and putting the fruit down, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Youyou, what are you so happy about? Can you share it with Mommy?"
Xu Youyou came back to her senses, smiled shyly, and raised her head to tell Xu Qingsui what she was thinking: "Mommy, I like my current life."
Xu Qingsui was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sad and guilty.
I remember that after Xu Youyou could speak and became sensible, she once asked who her father was, and she couldn't control her tears at that time.
Since then, he has never mentioned any information about his father.
She mistakenly thought that he didn't care, but now she realized that in the little guy's heart, he has always longed for fatherly love and a happy family like normal children.
She raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of the little guy's head: "Then we will continue to live like this."
If she was forced by Huo Xilin to remarry him before, now she was willing to do so and even felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, she was unmarried and he was unmarried.
"Get ready, it's time to eat." Huo Xilin came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, put them on the dining table, and spoke gently to the mother and son.
At this moment, he was wearing an apron around his waist. He was no longer in a suit and tie and had no coldness or decisiveness as he did in the business world. Instead, he had a more worldly and approachable demeanor.
"How many are left to be written?" Xu Qingsui lowered his head and looked at the homework the little guy had done. It was just ordinary numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of eleven digits.
Although Xu Youyou is very young, the words she writes are very majestic, which reminds Xu Qingsui of Huo Xilin's running script with flying dragons and phoenixes.
"Mommy, I've finished writing." Xu Youyou said as she neatly packed up her things, counted them one by one, and put them into her schoolbag.
"Come on, Mommy will take you to wash your hands."
Xu Qingsui brought the little one out after washing his hands. Four dishes and a soup had already been served on the table by Huo Xilin.
While Huo Xilin was cooking in the kitchen, he learned some interesting stories about the little guy over the years and his likes and dislikes, and knew that shrimp was one of his favorite foods.
So he took the initiative to peel the shrimp and put it in the little guy's bowl.
"Thank you, Dad." The little guy was a little uncomfortable at first, as the previously cold man was so nice to him. However, he became more and more familiar with calling the word "Dad".
Originally, Huo Xilin thought that boys should not be raised too pampered, but love is an involuntary emotion. The more he got along with the mother and son, the more attentive Huo Xilin became, and the more proactive he was in giving.
"Well, eat more if you like it." Huo Xilin said, and peeled another shrimp and put it in his bowl.
Xu Qingsui couldn't help feeling happy when he saw the father and son getting along harmoniously.
While she was in a daze, Huo Xilin had already peeled a shrimp and put it in her bowl: "My mother's birthday is next week, so you and your son should go back for dinner."
"Have you told her about our affairs?" Xu Qingsui asked while eating.
"She will know sooner or later. Besides, she has already seen her grandson. She has long wanted to meet you, the great contributor to the Huo family, but I refused."
"Why?" Xu Qingsui finally realized and asked.
"I'm afraid you won't want to give me a legitimate status." Huo Xilin's tone was full of grievance.
Xu Qingsui: “…”
It makes it seem like she took advantage and was irresponsible.
After dinner, Xu Qingsui took Xu Youyou to take a bath, and then told him fairy tales while lying on the bed.
After Huo Xilin finished his work in the study, he returned to the bedroom and did not see Xu Qingsui. He walked towards Xu Youyou's room. Before he opened the door, he heard the laughter of mother and son coming out of the room.
At this moment, the fatigue from a busy day instantly dissipated, Huo Xilin completely relaxed, and his mood became extremely comfortable.
Such a scene had happened in his dreams before.
Huo Xilin did not have a happy childhood. Although the Huo family was wealthy and he had no worries about food and clothing, his parents' discord, daily quarrels, and his father's infidelity became an indelible shadow in his life.
