She told them everything about how she set up the scheme and how she threatened Sun Xiaowei.
"Go ahead and get angry if you want," she said, no longer caring about anything else. "If she doesn't tell me soon, I have plenty of ways to deal with her."
"If you feel sorry for her, try to get her to tell you where the child is as soon as possible."
“It’s only natural for you to feel sorry for her, I understand,” she added.
Huo Beichen paused, his chopsticks still.
Then, he put down his chopsticks very seriously, his gaze fixed on her pretty face, "I don't feel sorry for her."
She paused for a moment, then smiled, "You don't need to say that, just to make me happy... She's been my fiancée for several years, it's normal for you to have feelings for her."
However, Huo Beichen said, "You disappeared for no reason, and Zeze got sick for no reason. Do you think I'm a fool?"
He wasn't oblivious to the signs.
However, there were still areas of influence in the Sun family that he couldn't reach.
He could only wait.
Hua Fei was stunned for a moment. "What if I don't show up?"
“The Sun family is an elephant that needs to be separated and cut apart bit by bit,” Huo Beichen said. “The day I get their lifeline will also be the day I find out your whereabouts.”
She understood. "Sun's bankruptcy was not a sudden decision of yours. You have been preparing for this day for a long time."
“It was a bit ahead of schedule,” Huo Beichen replied. “I didn’t originally intend to knock them all down with one punch.”
It was Huafei's experience that completely enraged him.
Huafei believed what he said.
If he hadn't been prepared, how could he have invoked the Murong family's name when the Sun family attacked him?
But she couldn't help but shed tears, "If you did all this to find me, why were you like that when I was here..."
I can't bring myself to say the word "heartless".
Once spoken, those two words would only become two knives, piercing her own heart.
He came to her, knelt down, and cupped her face in his large hands. "I didn't understand back then... Can you forgive me?"
"Let's start over, okay?"
Her tears flowed more and more.
My heart is as soft as a sponge.
She never imagined that she would hear such a sentence from him in her lifetime...
As Sheng Nanyin, she should nod and welcome this long-awaited relationship.
But now she is a mother.
She is also a mother who lost her child.
"Huo Beichen," she choked, her voice muffled but her tone firm, "if I agree to your request today, wouldn't that be a betrayal of that child?"
"Nanyin..."
"I failed to protect it, and neither did you. How can we live with ourselves in such a state?"
"I can't, I can't in my entire life!"
She pushed his hand away and turned to leave.
"Nanyin!"
He hugged her tightly from behind, saying, "It's all my fault."
"You don't have to accept it, you don't have to agree, but please stay... I couldn't protect it, and I don't want to be unable to protect you..."
He wept too, his hot tears streaming down her neck.
He has always been so powerful.
But at this moment, she only felt his vulnerability, helplessness, and confusion... These emotions, which he never showed to outsiders, were completely released in front of her.
She admitted that she had softened and couldn't push him away.
When his lips, both warm and cool, touched hers, she did not push him away.
That night, two broken hearts relied on each other, endlessly giving and warming each other.
In the midst of their tender moment, she heard him whisper, intimately, "Nanyin, you're finally back..."
yes.
She's back.
I never expected such an unexpected gain.
Her gaze fell upon the bright stars in the night sky outside the window, but she didn't know whether she should feel happy or sad.
...
Why are you staring at me like that?
Hua Fei finally couldn't help but speak up.
This morning, from the moment Ah Yue entered the treatment room to get her medication, she looked her over several times.
"I want to ask you, did you secretly take some tonic?" A-Yue said.
"Why would I take tonics?" Hua Fei asked, puzzled. "My arm is fine now. Besides, a fracture can't be fixed by taking tonics."
“But I see your complexion is rosy and your eyes are very bright, which is quite different from before,” Ah Yue pondered.
"Bang!" She suddenly slammed her hand on the table. "I understand now, you've been absorbing yang energy to replenish your yin!"
Huafei: ...
Ah Yue is quite outspoken.
"Tomorrow, Miss Gu's treatment will enter a new phase. Have you prepared the medicine?" Hua Fei pretended to be calm, acting as if she hadn't understood anything.
“Oh,” A-Yue replied, “the medicine is ready, but it’s all very common. Will it really work?”
“It’s ineffective for most people,” Hua Fei replied, “but Miss Gu must have a balance of yin and yang, so it works for her…”
As she spoke, she saw Ah Yue looking at her with a half-smile.
She suddenly came to her senses, her cheeks flushed red.
The words "yin and yang in harmony" betrayed her; she knew about "absorbing yang to replenish yin," and her pretense was seen through by A-Yue.
"Alright, alright," Ah Yue laughed, "Now that you're Mrs. Huo, it's only right that you fulfill your obligations."
"Mr. Huo is already married, how can we let him not have that kind of life!"
"Shut up, you're getting more and more excited," Hua Fei scolded softly. "Do you want to be in a relationship? Should your master introduce you to a boyfriend?"
Ah Yue stuck out her tongue, admitting defeat, "I won't do it again, Master!"
"Mother!"
Zeze suddenly ran in.
Hua Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she had stopped A Yue's joke in time.
"Son," she reached out and hugged him, "Have you finished your homework?"
Zeze raised an eyebrow, her nonchalant expression mirroring Huo Beichen's. "Let's talk about something else, something that will help our parent-child relationship develop well."
"Hahaha!" A-Yue laughed without any restraint.
Hua Fei was speechless; she couldn't escape the common fate and became a mother who cared about her child's studies.
“Okay then, tell me something you like,” she said.
"Mom, are you going to the Gu family tomorrow?" Zeze asked. "Can I go with you to see Liang Mufan?"
Huafei immediately agreed.
She had already made an appointment with Gu Fanyan when they met last time.
The next day when they met, Liang Mufan ran over from a distance and threw herself into Zeze's arms.
"Brother Zeze, are you not sick anymore?" Liang Mufan thought Zeze seemed very energetic today.
Zeze nodded, "My mom and Ayue give me acupuncture every day, and I feel much better."
Gu Fanyan affectionately stroked the two little heads and said softly, "Little dumpling, take your brother to play, just don't run out of our garden gate."
The two little figures ran off happily.
Hua Fei first performed acupuncture on Gu Fanyan before sitting down for a casual chat.
They had only exchanged a few words when the butler suddenly came over. "Miss, there's a Miss Sun outside who says she's looking for Mrs. Huo."
Sun Xiaowei?
Have you found your way here?
Hua Fei and Gu Fanyan both felt a sense of doubt and exchanged a glance.
Gu Fanyan knew the timeframe that Hua Fei had set for Sun Xiaowei.
"What did she say she wanted to see Mrs. Huo about?" Gu Fanyan asked.
“She said she remembered some details and wanted to tell Mrs. Huo,” the housekeeper replied.
"She also said that she called the Huo family and the Huo family's nanny told her that Mrs. Huo had come here," the housekeeper added.
She was quite sensible and took the initiative to explain the whole story.
They dared not act recklessly in the Gu family.
