Chapter 350 The Struggle Between Father and Son
Even though Ai Yun disliked Huo Jiusi in many ways when Huo Yun was alive, it was not that she did not love him. After all, he was the child of her and the one she loved, and Huo Jiusi was the fruit and witness of their love.
But this kid always snatches Huo Yun from him, and the most annoying thing is that he always comes with a pillow to disturb him and Huo Yun at the critical moment at night.
But after Huo Jun passed away, Huo Jiusi became his only spiritual sustenance. Although he did not inherit Huo Jun's pair of dark and bright eyes, he basically inherited Huo Jun's appearance.
This made him think of his deceased wife every time he saw his son.
Huo Jiusi hasn't come back in the past few years, and Ai Yun knows that he has a knot in his heart.
Huo Yun’s death was a heavy blow to both father and son.
Originally, he was sent to Huo Yingnian, firstly to let Huo Jiusi go to where his mother lived, maybe he would slowly get out of his sadness, and secondly to accompany Huo Yingnian and comfort the old man.
Ai Yun actually wanted to go over and apologize to Huo Yingnian because it was his fault that he failed to protect Huo Yun.
When they got married, he swore to protect Huo Yun, but she was still implicated because of himself.
Ai Yun has not been idle in the past few years. He has basically dealt with all the people related to Huo Yun's death, except the real murderer behind the scenes.
Letting her die simply would be too easy for her. He wanted her to live in fear all the time. Of course, he planned to leave the last chance to take action to Huo Jiusi.
From the moment Huo Jiusi was born, he was destined to be strong, ruthless, and have blood on his hands.
The emblem of their family is a lion, which means that they are kings like lions. A king must be able to withstand loneliness, fight and survive in battles.
Ai Yun looked calm and cool on the outside, but she was a little panicked inside.
He hadn't seen Huo Jiusi for a long time. Although the father and son would talk on the phone, the calls were always brief. They didn't seem like father and son, but rather like partners, simply discussing things.
Huo Yun's death became a chasm between the two of them, making it impossible for them to be the same as before.
Ai Yun felt guilty and blamed herself. Not only did she feel that she owed Huo Jiusi, but every time she faced his face that looked so much like Huo Yun, she would feel deeply sorry and dared not look him in the face.
"Yaya...is asleep." Knowing that Huo Jiusi would behave differently when Yaya was mentioned, Ai Yun uncomfortably shifted her gaze towards the direction of the room where Yaya was.
"Yeah." Huo Jiusi responded indifferently.
"A lot of people will probably know about our return soon. I don't want to see them for now. Please don't let them disturb us."
"Yaya will feel uncomfortable. This environment is too unfamiliar to her."
Even if Yaya didn't say it, Huo Jiusi could feel it.
After all, she was so young, and she was willing to follow him to a completely unfamiliar country because she trusted him.
And naturally he couldn't protect her and take good care of her.
"You can rest assured about that."
"Would you like to take Yaya..." Aiyun paused: "Go see your mother later?"
Huo Yun was buried by the lake she loved most.
Every once in a while, Ai Yun would go over and sit beside her and talk to her, just like before. No matter what happened, he wanted to tell her.
It’s just that there were some dangerous things in the past that he didn’t dare tell her about, for fear that she would worry and be scared.
Now that he can do whatever he wants, he lives in regret every day.
If he had not kept it from her and told her everything, she would not have been ambushed.
Huo Jiusi did not answer Ai Yun directly, but said: "When Yaya wakes up, she wants to go to the lake to play, I will take her to go boating."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Ai Yun mustered up the courage to ask. Just when he thought that Huo Jiusi would not respond or that Huo Jiusi would directly refuse, he unexpectedly nodded: "Okay."
"I'm a little worried about you guys... huh? What did you say?"
"Then I'll go prepare things now."
Ai Yun was very excited. He had only revealed his true emotions in front of Huo Yun.
Huo Jiusi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sad.
He knew that Aiyun loved him too, but their relationship as father and son was not very good. When their mother was still alive, they had to compete with each other in wits and courage to monopolize her.
After their mother passed away, they had a common goal - to avenge his mother.
But at the same time, he resented Ai Yun.
Because of him, my mother was ambushed and died.
When he went back to see his grandfather, he was thinking of dying together with those people after he came back.
Anyway, anyone who dares to hurt his mother must die.
But I didn't expect to meet Yaya and hear her voice.
He knew very well the place his grandfather held in his mother's heart. If his grandfather were gone, his mother would definitely be very sad.
He didn't know whether people would still be sad after they died, but he didn't want to make his mother sad, and he wanted his grandfather to be healthy.
Another thing is that Yaya is like a seed, taking root and sprouting in his heart.
He missed her every minute after returning home.
And through spending the past few years with Yaya, he could clearly feel that he had become a lot softer, and his life had light and color because of her, instead of being dark as it was after his mother left.
Ai Yun arrived at the door, still a little bit in disbelief. He turned to Huo Jiusi and asked, "Bourne, you really want me to go with you, right?"
"You don't have to go." Huo Jiusi stood up and walked out.
Ai Yun quickly said, "Of course I'm going."
It looked as if he was afraid that Huo Jiusi would go back on his word.
Huo Jiusi returned to the room and Yaya was still asleep. However, because Huo Jiusi was holding her hand and the little bear Xiaobai were not around, she slept very uneasily and tossed and turned.
Seeing that Yaya was about to turn over and fall off the bed, Huo Jiusi hurried forward, pushed her in, and held her hand.
Yaya unconsciously grabbed Huo Jiusi's hand and placed it next to her face. After rubbing it, she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Huo Jiusi looked at Yaya's smiling face, a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were gentle and doting.
He let Yaya hold his hand like this, and with his other hand he tucked Yaya's hair behind her ear.
Yaya usually takes a nap for an hour. She will wake up on her own at the appointed time without being called. Her biological clock is very accurate.
"Little devil, did you leave just now?" Yaya sat up, rubbed her eyes, and opened her arms towards Huo Jiusi.
Huo Jiusi picked her up and patted her back gently: "I went to talk to the stinky old man about something."
"Yeah." Yaya lay on Huo Jiusi's shoulder and acted coquettishly: "I want to drink milk."
"It's already been made, but it may not taste the same as the milk in China. Do you want to try it and see if you like it?"
