Chapter 111
Realizing this, Huo Changfeng's heart suddenly tightened and panic instantly swept through his body.
He carefully reached out his hand and gently wrapped it around her trembling back, feeling her slight trembling through the thin clothing with his palm.
After a moment, he gently lifted Mu Qingxuan's cheek and wiped away the tears that kept flowing from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.
His voice was hoarse, with an unrelieved heartache: "Xuanxuan, what's wrong, did someone bully you?"
Mu Qingxuan looked at him with tearful eyes, with crystal tears hanging on her eyelashes, and her eyes were full of helplessness and confusion.
Under Huo Changfeng's concerned gaze, she repeated word for word what Sun Qiumei had just said.
When she got excited, she pulled Huo Changfeng's collar and cried, "Grandpa is not my relative..."
"I'm just an abandoned baby."
As Huo Changfeng listened, his eyes became more distressed.
He embraced Mu Qingxuan again, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Xuanxuan. Although you and grandpa are not related by blood, his love for you has never been fake."
The lingering rain turns the sky and earth into a hazy veil.
Mu Qingxuan was still sobbing, and her warm tears wet the collar of Huo Changfeng's shirt.
She thought her grandfather was her only relative in the world and he gave her great spiritual comfort.
But now I suddenly found that I was like a rootless duckweed, unable to find my way back home.
This huge feeling of loss made her almost breathless.
Huo Changfeng looked at her trembling shoulders with heartache, and gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers.
His eyes were full of tenderness and care, and he coaxed her softly, "Blood relationship can never prove anything."
"You and Grandpa are not related by blood, but he still treats you better than his own grandchildren. Doesn't that prove that he loves you even more?"
His voice was low and gentle.
"Grandpa has always been your family, and so have I."
Huo Changfeng looked at Mu Qingxuan affectionately, his voice filled with unquestionable firmness.
Her figure was reflected in those deep eyes, as if she was the only one in the world at this moment.
He slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched Mu Qingxuan's belly, the warmth of his palm coming through the thin clothes.
"We will have our own little family soon, Xuanxuan, you have never been alone."
Mu Qingxuan stared at him blankly, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes.
Huo Changfeng used most of the umbrella to cover Mu Qingxuan's head, and his shoulders and back were soaked.
The rain dripped down Huo Changfeng's shoulders and neck, fell to the ground, and accumulated into a pool of water.
Mu Qingxuan was stunned and stared at him blankly with a moved expression.
After a long while, she nodded gently and buried herself in Huo Changfeng's arms again.
Huo Changfeng hugged her tightly, rubbing his chin lightly against the top of her head, greedily absorbing the faint fragrance from her hair.
As the night deepened, the lights in the Huo family villa became soft.
Huo Changfeng carefully carried the drowsy Mu Qingxuan into the bedroom and gently placed her on the big bed covered with a soft silk quilt.
He squatted down, patiently took off her rain-soaked shoes, took off her clothes, and simply wiped her whole body with warm water.
Afterwards, Huo Changfeng found a clean piece of clothing for Mu Qingxuan to change into, and then gently pulled a thin blanket over her slightly bulging belly.
Mu Qingxuan curled up her body, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and she was still trembling slightly in her sleep, which made Huo Changfeng feel heartbroken.
He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Huo Changfeng stayed by the bed until Mu Qingxuan's expression gradually calmed down, then he tiptoed out of the room, for fear of waking her up.
As soon as he closed the bedroom door, Huo Changfeng saw Cui Lirong coming out of the kitchen with a cup of warm milk. Her eyes immediately fell on him with concern: "What happened to Qingxuan? She looked so bad when she came back."
Her eyes were full of worry, and she sat down on the sofa, her eyes full of worry.
Huo Changfeng rubbed his brows and explained the matter briefly.
After saying this, he pursed his thin lips, frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of confusion.
"Mom, Xuanxuan is not such a fragile person. She usually stays calm no matter how big the situation. Why is she so abnormal today?"
After hearing this, Cui Lirong rolled her eyes at him unhappily and poked him lightly on the forehead with her hand.
"What a dullard who doesn't understand romance!"
"Qingxuan is pregnant now, and she is a double. Pregnant women's moods are like the weather in June, changing at any time."
"She suddenly found out that her beloved grandfather was not related to her by blood. How sad she must be. Isn't it normal for her to cry?"
She leaned back on the sofa, thinking of the past, and couldn't help complaining: "You didn't see me when I was pregnant with you. I would get so angry over the slightest thing. I don't know how many times I scolded your dad."
Huo Changfeng was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Huo Jianye who was sitting nearby reading a newspaper.
Huo Jianye noticed his son's gaze, touched his nose awkwardly, nodded helplessly and aggrievedly, but his tone was very sincere and cautious.
"How can it be such a small matter? It's obviously because I did something wrong and made your mother angry. I deserve to be scolded."
After saying this, he smiled at Cui Lirong in a flattering manner.
Cui Lirong glanced at her husband and snorted coldly, but the corners of her lips could not help but rise, and she thought to herself: "You are sensible."
Huo Changfeng looked at his parents showing their affection as if no one was around, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He felt as if he was a superfluous person.
Before he could open his mouth, Cui Lirong started to criticize him again.
"It seems that Qingxuan is usually too sensible and too calm, which is why you are so unsatisfied."
Huo Changfeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cui Lirong.
She became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She reached out and pushed Huo Changfeng, "Why don't you go and serve Qingxuan? Seeing you being so unromantic, I feel sorry for Qingxuan."
"Who else can stand you except her!"
Huo Changfeng felt a little embarrassed by what his mother said. He touched his nose and quickly stood up: "I know, Mom. I'll go right away."
He walked quickly towards the bedroom, and Cui Lirong reminded him from behind: "The temperature is dropping tonight, make sure Qingxuan is kept warm, don't let her catch a cold."
Huo Changfeng agreed.
When he returned to the room, he realized how wise Cui Lirong was.
The blanket that was covering me when I left was kicked to the foot of the bed in an instant.
Mu Qingxuan curled up in the middle of the bed without even a pillow, and her sleeping posture was extremely awkward.
Huo Changfeng hurried forward, carried her back to her usual sleeping place, covered her with the quilt again, and tucked the corners carefully.
He sat beside the bed, staring closely at Mu Qingxuan's sleeping face.
I couldn't bear to take my eyes away even for a second.
Suddenly, he felt a strange force on his hand that was placed next to Mu Qingxuan.
Huo Changfeng lowered his gaze and placed his palm on Mu Qingxuan's belly suspiciously.
The next second, he was kicked hard in the palm of his hand.
Huo Changfeng’s eyes suddenly widened!
