Chapter 1007 Extra 5: Dad Zhong
Huo Xingzhou didn't care how much Sun Weimeng was worried about. It was all his own fault that he ended up like this.
He said that he could not be faithful in marriage and that he might end up betraying his wife after marrying her. But he could not let go of Xia Sisi in his heart. He wanted to be close to her but was afraid of losing face. He wanted to acknowledge his son even though he did not give her a legitimate status.
It's simply... hopeless.
He went straight upstairs to the master bedroom, and as soon as the door opened, he heard laughter coming from the bathroom.
From time to time, Qiao Xi's voice could be heard pretending to be angry.
"Huo Qianhe! Stop playing with bubbles and put on your clothes after you shower! Don't mess with me, I just finished showering!"
"Mom, do I look like a soap princess?"
"You act like a little fool."
Qiao Xi pulled her little daughter out of the foamy bathtub and rinsed the foam off her body with the shower head. But the little girl was still disobedient and kept trying to get the foam on her body.
Qiao Xi was covered in floating bubbles and looked a little disheveled.
Every time I give the little girl a bath it feels like a battle. She will only be obedient when her father is around.
She is so lively!
After Qiao Xi washed her little daughter, she wrapped her in a small bath towel and let her go out.
Then, looking at her obedient son, Qiao Xi wiped the foam off his little face helplessly, "Are you just going to let your sister bully you like this?"
"Dad said I should protect and pamper my sister."
Qiao Xi pinched his little face and said, "You and your sister were born on the same day. You don't need a little kid like you to protect her. And don't be so serious like your father. You are just a five-year-old child."
This little face is full of childishness.
Very similar to Huo Xingzhou.
Du Juan always said that Huo Xingzhou looked like this when he was a child, always serious about his work and looked like a little adult. Yan Che had a good temper, but he was also very principled in his work. He would give in on some things, but not on others.
Qiao Xi always feels relieved when taking care of her son.
"Mom, are you really not going to work tomorrow?" Xiao Yanche looked at her with his beautiful eyes.
"Well, I'm not going to work. If Che wants to do anything, mom can accompany you."
"As long as Mom is home, there's no need to go out and play. Dad said adults should rest at home. I want Mom to read with me for a while."
Qiao Xi felt guilty and said, "Okay, I'll read a book with you tomorrow."
Since the Chinese medicine clinic opened, she had less and less time to spend with her children. Qianqian was always making noises, looking carefree and happy. But Che was a perceptive child. Even at a young age, he knew how to restrain himself and not disturb his parents' work.
Qiao Xi patted his head and said, "From now on, Che can ask for anything. Mom is an adult and she has to fulfill children's wishes."
"good."
Qiao Xi rinsed off the foam for him, wiped his hair with a towel, and then let him wrap himself in the same bath towel and walk out of the bathroom.
When I came out, I saw the father and daughter playing a puzzle together.
Qianqian seemed very impatient and didn't understand why the whole puzzle had to be put back together after being cut. This was just idleness.
But she moves very quickly and can always find the right piece among a pile of puzzles.
"Mother!"
As soon as she saw Qiao Xi, she hung on her like a koala.
These two children are the same, they like to stick to Qiao Xi.
"I'm dirty, please sit aside first. Let daddy blow your hair..."
"I want Mommy to blow me."
Huo Xingzhou pulled her over and said, "Mom is tired. If you don't need Dad's help, go find Aunt Qian."
"Grandma Qian is old, I'd better let Dad help me blow dry my hair." Qian Qian pouted and sat next to Huo Xingzhou, "Dad, come on, I won't blame you for hurting my head last time."
Smart little kid!
Qiao Xi pulled little Ache to the other side and picked up another silent hair dryer to blow his short hair.
Qianqian felt even more upset when she saw this, "Mom likes my brother more!"
"Mom loves you all the same, so don't always be jealous of your brother. Your brother always gives in to you, and you're such a jealous little thing, I don't know who you took that from." As she said this, she glanced at Huo Xingzhou.
After hearing this, the little girl Qianqian covered her lips and giggled.
"Of course I take after my father!"
Qiao Xi smiled, looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "Today I received a call from Shen Xuanzhi at the Chinese Medicine Clinic. He asked me to go to the capital next month..."
"What happened?"
"He said there's an inside scoop about a National Medical Award Ceremony. It might be me, but the details haven't been confirmed. Let me tell you, if the list is released, I might have to go to the capital."
Five years have passed, and she has never had time to go to the imperial capital to see her old friends.
"The news Shen Xuanzhi said should be true. Their Chinese Medicine Association always gets some inside information..."
Huo Xingzhou looked at Qiao Xi with a smile, "I remember this was your wish, why aren't you so excited?"
"Maybe it came too suddenly and I wasn't prepared. Until now, I still feel it's empty, as if nothing substantial has changed." She has not been obsessed with getting that title in the past five years.
But she still wants to be someone like Cheng Han.
The goal is firm and not shaken by external things.
"You become purer."
"Are you praising me?"
Qiao Xi and he smiled at each other.
The little girl heard the key words and quickly said, "Mom is going to the capital? Our kindergarten will also be on summer vacation next week! Can I go with Mom?"
"What if I said no?"
"Dad Zhong called yesterday and said he'd take me to the capital when summer vacation starts. I already agreed. I can't be a bad boy who goes back on his word. Fortunately, my mom is with me, so I'm not afraid of bad guys kidnapping this smart little cutie like me!"
This child has a very good relationship with Zhong Yi. Since last year, the two children have been taken to the capital to play for a while during the summer vacation.
The little girl and Zhongyi have similar interests, and Zhongyi coaxes and pampers her.
Huo Xingzhou didn't know how jealous he was because of the name "Dad Zhong".
Can Zhongyi also be called dad?
Unfortunately, when the child was born, the scheming young master of the Zhong family recognized her as a godfather. It was unrealistic for the two families to have no contact.
"I want to go to the capital with my mother! To see Father Zhong!"
"Your mother went to the imperial capital for important matters and won't stay that long."
"Dad, are you still jealous of Mr. Zhong? Don't worry, as your daughter, I will always stand by you."
Huo Xingzhou pinched her little face and said, "I've never seen such a heartless and sweet-talking little thing like you."
He said a lot of coaxing words to her, and then ran to Zhong Yi and said that Zhong's father was her most favorite person.
Little liar!
It’s on par with Qiao Xi’s mouth!
