Huo Tingxiao and Wen Rushang looked at Wen's parents almost the instant the sound rang out, observing their reactions.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
They thought they heard their daughter's voice, but she hadn't said anything.
The sound didn't seem to come from their ears; it was as if it went directly into their brains.
It was as if I were hearing my daughter's innermost thoughts.
The couple simultaneously realized this possibility. After decades of marriage, they quickly concealed their strange expressions. They didn't know how they could hear their daughter's thoughts, but this matter absolutely could not be revealed.
They wanted to keep it a secret from their daughter, to take it to their graves, and absolutely not let her be in any danger.
Wen's parents glanced at Huo Tingxiao and Wen Rushang, wondering if they could hear their daughter's voice.
What should we do if we can hear it?
The couple had a lot to think about in a short period of time.
But judging from their calm demeanor, it didn't seem like they could hear their daughter's voice.
Because they already knew, Huo Tingxiao remained calm, while Wen Rushang remained silent: ...
Smile.
The couple felt much more at ease and decided to find an opportunity to inquire further later.
Since it concerns their daughter, they need to make careful plans.
In addition, they should remind their daughter not to talk to herself in her mind all the time. They don't know if anyone else can hear her thoughts. If they can, then their daughter is in danger. They must make plans as soon as possible.
Upon suddenly hearing their daughter's voice, the couple were not afraid at all; instead, they were overjoyed. They believed that they and their daughter were telepathically connected, which was why they could hear her voice.
Look, look, the daughter is praising them in her heart.
In the hearts of these two doting fathers, whatever their daughter does is right.
They didn't care about right or wrong, as long as their daughter was happy.
The Wen couple couldn't tell if the two could hear their thoughts, but Huo Tingxiao and the other man could see the couple's unusual behavior.
The reactions of Wen's parents clearly showed that they had heard their sister's thoughts.
Huo Tingxiao and Wen Rushang exchanged a glance, preparing to find an opportunity to talk to their parents later.
Because they didn't know if the couple could hear them, and were afraid that saying it would make them overthink, the two of them didn't tell them in advance.
Now that they know, we need to lay things out properly.
"Mom, let's go inside quickly. What are you standing outside for? Yueyue and the others must be tired from their long journey."
The Wen family's house is a two-story villa with a detached courtyard, separated from the surrounding neighbors. Wen Rushang specially commissioned a blueprint and had the workers build it accordingly.
It has a garden and an upstairs balcony.
The walls are covered with red brick tiles, which were specially transported from Guangzhou at a high price.
The glass windows are large and bright.
Even by today's standards, the interior design is still impressive.
"Yueyue is back?"
Aunt Liu was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a noise outside the yard. She wiped her wet hands on her scarf and went out to greet them.
His eyes were overflowing with affection.
She had watched Wen Xingyue grow up since she was a child. Xiao Shang was always independent and she didn't have to worry about her much. Only Yueyue was spoiled and needed more care. Liu Sao put all her heart into Wen Xingyue. Later, Wen Xingyue got married.
Aunt Liu wanted to go with her. She had taken care of the little girl since she was a baby, and she was worried about letting her go to a stranger's house.
However, the wedding banquet was indeed too messy and unsightly for Yueyue, and she didn't want to see their family. As a result, Liu Sao's desire to take care of them had to be suppressed.
Even at home, I miss it terribly.
Liu was overjoyed to finally have her loved one back.
"Sister Liu".
Wen Xingyue called out sweetly.
In her memory, she spent most of her childhood with Aunt Liu. Her parents were busy with work and her brother had to go to school, so Aunt Liu was the only one who took care of her.
Looking at the kind-faced woman opposite her, Wen Xingyue's heart softened.
The two began to talk intimately.
My wife, Liu, cooks so well; I'll have to eat a lot later.
Aunt Liu mentioned that she had made a lot of delicious food for her, and Wen Xingyue felt hungry when she thought of those delicious dishes in her mind.
The Wen couple, along with Huo Tingxiao and the others, all stared at Liu Sao, wanting to see if she could hear Wen Xingyue's thoughts.
However, Liu's expression remained unchanged.
The four were relieved.
They went into the living room together.
The Wen family's decor was much more luxurious than the Huo family's, with valuable calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the vases in the living room were made of blue and white porcelain.
The Huo family, holding high positions, should keep a low profile.
The Wen family, however, does not need this.
The Wen family has two children who are in business, and their air of nobility is evident in everything they do.
Wen Xingyue and her mother sat affectionately on the sofa. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Wen's mother had many questions to ask, so most of the conversation was between Wen's mother asking questions and Wen Xingyue obediently answering.
Mr. Wen sat to one side, peeling fruit for the mother and daughter. His stern expression softened when he looked at his wife and daughter.
"Yueyue, your brother sent some strawberries. Try them, and when you go back, your brother will pack some more for you to take home."
Not to be outdone, Wen Rushang handed over the strawberries on the table.
"Thank you, brother." Wen Xingyue fed her mother a strawberry, then popped another one into her own mouth.
The strawberries were big and red, a little sour at first, but sweet aftertaste.
Strawberries are hard to come by this season, and the yield is low. I don't know how my brother got them; he placed a full basket in the living room in front of them.
Father Wen glanced at his son, who was vying for his affections, but said nothing. His gaze fell on Huo Tingxiao, who had been watching the mother and daughter talk gently.
"Tingxiao, how are your parents at home?" Wen's father asked.
Because it was his daughter who insisted on marrying Huo Tingxiao, Wen's father actually felt quite sorry for Huo Tingxiao, and seeing Huo Tingxiao in a wheelchair made him feel a little heartbroken.
Even though Huo Tingxiao's leg was crippled, Wen's father didn't look down on him or despise him. On the contrary, he felt sorry for him and treated him with a normal attitude.
On their wedding night, the son-in-law abandoned his daughter and left. Wen's father was actually a little unhappy, but he knew that soldiers have orders and cannot disobey them. His son had also served in the army before, and he knew that the national interest was above all else.
I thought I was finally back from my mission and could spend some quality time with my daughter, but then I learned that my leg was crippled.
Mr. Wen was filled with emotion.
I don't know what to do about this forced marriage to my daughter.
Their daughter was the most precious person in their hearts, and they naturally hoped for her happiness. However, they had already wronged Tingxiao once, and they didn't want to wrong her a second time.
However, I still feel sorry for my daughter.
Although their son told them that Tingxiao's leg might get better, the doctors at the hospital said there was no hope, so they were still not entirely convinced that someone could cure it.
Wen Rushang didn't dare to tell his parents anything, because anything could happen before Huo Tingxiao's leg was fully healed.
"Dad, Mom and Dad are both in good health."
Huo Tingxiao responded with a smile.
Feeling Wen's father's gaze fall on his legs, Huo Tingxiao's hands on his legs tightened slightly.
