Chapter 149
Mu Qingxuan placed the child in her arms on the table for the ceremony and said softly, "Go grab the one you like."
Then she let go and took a step back.
Everyone looked over and saw Huo Chenyu turning around on the table in a daze. He subconsciously crawled towards Mu Qingxuan, reaching out for a hug, and calling for his mother incoherently.
Mu Qingxuan's heart softened and she almost wanted to reach out and pick up the child.
Her fingers moved, but she held back.
When Huo Chenyu saw that Mu Qingxuan didn't hug him, he was stunned and tears as big as beans fell down.
Old Mrs. Huo staggered forward with her cane, and Yao Jinglan's face was full of pity.
Fortunately, Huo Chenyu is a strong baby and he quickly adjusted his mood.
He suddenly sobbed, wiped away his tears, and knelt on the tablecloth with his fleshy knees.
Huo Chenyu swayed his chubby body and crawled to the end of the long table. He stopped beside the brush and seal, and his curious eyes fell on these two things.
Everyone held their breath and stared intently, wondering what he would take.
The next second, his chubby little hands were seen tightly grasping the wings of a model airplane, and he was waving it excitedly. The metal fuselage reflected fine light under the lamp.
"Okay! Our Yubao will fly a plane in the future!"
Cui Lirong couldn't stop smiling.
Amid the applause and laughter of the guests, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open.
A figure walked in against the light, looking exhausted.
The man's clothes were washed white, and there was still some dust on his epaulettes.
Mu Qingxuan looked up subconsciously, and the moment she saw who was coming, her eyes widened instantly.
Huo Changfeng stood at the door. The sunlight outlined his tall figure, but also revealed the fatigue in the corners of his eyes.
His hair was longer than when he left, and his face was thinner, but his eyes were still bright and deep, and he was looking at her and the child intently.
He walked forward step by step, his military boots making steady sounds on the carpet.
The laughter and chatter around him gradually died down, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Huo Changfeng's eyes never left Mu Qingxuan until he walked to the table and forcibly suppressed the desire to hold Mu Qingxuan in his arms.
He turned his gaze to the airplane model in his son's hand, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Baby caught the plane?”
His voice was a little hoarse, but it was filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.
As he spoke, he carefully stretched out his hand. His movements were still a little unfamiliar, but he picked up Huo Chenyu very gently.
The little guy didn't seem to be shy. Instead, he curiously reached out and grabbed the buttons on his military uniform, giggling.
Huo Changfeng looked down at his son's delicate little face, then looked up at Mu Qingxuan, his eyes full of apology and longing: "Xuanxuan, I'm sorry, I'm back, thank you for your hard work."
Just a few simple words, yet they seem to contain thousands of words.
Mu Qingxuan looked at him, her eyes gradually turning red.
She opened her mouth, but her throat was choked and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Cui Lirong's pupils shrank, and she stepped forward quickly: "Changfeng, why did you come back so suddenly? There was no news, and we didn't even go to pick you up."
"I came back immediately after completing the mission and didn't have time to notify you." Huo Changfeng's eyes were fixed on Mu Qingxuan, refusing to leave for a moment.
"It's good to be back. It's just right for the whole family to celebrate the first birthday together."
Old Mrs. Huo tapped her cane with relief.
As she gets older, she longs for family reunion even more.
Although the scene today was lively, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that Huo Changfeng was not there.
Now everything is good, Huo Changfeng suddenly comes back.
The missing piece in her heart was also filled.
The guests also started laughing, and the atmosphere became very lively.
Seeing this, Huo Changfeng winked at Cui Lirong and Huo Jianye, indicating that they should help greet the guests first.
He held the child in one hand and held Mu Qingxuan's wrist with the other, and led her to the corner of the banquet hall.
Huo Changfeng looked at the child in his arms and asked in a low voice: "I haven't had time to ask, what's the child's name?"
"Huo Chenyu."
Mu Qingxuan pursed her lips.
After choosing the name, Mu Qingxuan wanted to write a letter to Huo Changfeng to tell him about it.
However, the confidentiality of the laboratory where Huo Changfeng worked was very strong, and he was not allowed to contact anyone from the outside world.
Even the Huo family didn't know the exact location of the laboratory.
"Huo Chenyu..." Huo Changfeng repeated these three words in his mouth, looking tenderly at the child in his arms who was staring at him with big watery eyes.
He couldn't help but say: "This child is really not afraid of strangers. He didn't cry when he saw me for the first time and was held by me."
Mu Qingxuan nodded: "Of course, don't you see who his mother is?"
She paused, couldn't help but look up, stared straight into Huo Changfeng's eyes, and said angrily: "You have been away for a year, and you have been asking about your son since you came back?"
Huo Changfeng was stunned, his eyes darkened, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I have a lot to say to you, but now..."
He did not hide the strong longing and desire in his eyes at all. He stared straight at Mu Qingxuan, making her face blush. She subconsciously turned her head away and avoided his sight.
Huo Changfeng opened his mouth, and suddenly, he felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked down.
"He, peed?" Huo Changfeng was shocked, his expression a little loose.
Seeing this, Mu Qingxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She rolled her eyes at Huo Changfeng and said, "You deserve it."
Huo Chenyu was still blinking his big eyes, staring at Huo Changfeng innocently, not noticing at all that Huo Changfeng's face had turned dark.
Huo Changfeng pursed his lips and carried the child back to the lounge on the second floor.
Huo Chenyu's spare clothes were prepared in the lounge in advance. Huo Changfeng did not rush to prepare them for himself, but wiped the child clean first and then changed his diaper awkwardly.
Mu Qingxuan was a little surprised: "You went into seclusion for a whole year, but you didn't forget this."
Before she gave birth, Huo Changfeng read books every day to learn how to take care of pregnant women and children, which of course included changing diapers for children.
According to Huo Changfeng's plan, he was supposed to handle all of this.
I just didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with changes...
Huo Changfeng responded calmly: "I have thought about you every day in the past year."
"I will not forget, and I cannot forget."
Mu Qingxuan's eyes flashed, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
She stepped forward and took over Huo Changfeng's action: "Let me dress the child. You go take a shower and change your clothes."
Huo Changfeng looked at the beautiful face so close to him, his Adam's apple rolled, and he subconsciously moved closer.
But Mu Qingxuan pushed him away.
Mu Qingxuan glanced at the stain on his chest with disdain: "Go away and clean yourself up."
Huo Changfeng gave a helpless smile and then turned and went into the bathroom.
