Chapter 799: Forced by the Situation to Speak (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci walked into the house happily with the children. As soon as they entered, the children's sharp eyes like hawks were instantly locked on the exquisite cake on the table.
They ran to the dining table with joy, unable to wait to taste the delicious cake.
However, before they started, they all remembered the small gifts they had carefully prepared and hadn't taken them out yet. So, they ran back to their rooms, took out the gifts, and presented them to Lin Man.
Lin Man happily accepted all the gifts, no matter how big or small. Then, the family sat around the table and sang the birthday song happily. Lin Man blew out the candles and began to divide the cake.
The children ate with relish, their faces covered with cream. In a short while, the cake was completely devoured by the boys.
After eating and drinking, the children lined up and went into the bathroom to take a bath one by one.
After taking a bath, they went to bed obediently. Even grandpa finished washing up and fell asleep early.
At this time, the house finally quieted down, with only Huo Qingci and Lin Man still busy cleaning up the mess.
When everything was ready, Huo Qingci clapped his hands gently and slowly walked to Lin Man with a mysterious smile on his face.
Suddenly, he reached into his pocket, fumbled for a while, and pulled out a sparkling gem ring. He gently took Lin Man's right hand and slowly put the ring on her ring finger.
"Manman, happy birthday! I specially went to Haishi Department Store to pick this out." Huo Qingci gazed at Lin Man affectionately, his eyes full of love.
Lin Man was extremely surprised. She looked at the dazzling gem ring on her finger and couldn't stop smiling.
Then, she stretched out her arms, hugged Huo Qingci's waist tightly, and said coquettishly: "Thank you, Ah Ci, I love you!"
Huo Qingci never expected that his wife would express her love so directly.
In an instant, he felt a warm current surge into his heart, a red cloud quickly appeared at the base of his ears, and his chest felt like a drum was beating non-stop, and his heartbeat was clearly audible.
He could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart, so he leaned over and gently kissed Lin Man's soft lips.
At the same time, he whispered in her ear: "Manman, I love you too, and I will love you forever!" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but deepen the kiss again.
When Lin Man finally came to her senses, she was shocked to find that most of her clothes had been taken off without her noticing!
At this moment, Huo Qingci had already gently and domineeringly carried her back to the bed...
"Manman, you said you loved me." At this moment, Huo Qingci's low and magnetic voice was like a charming spring breeze, gently blowing beside her sensitive ears.
Lin Man shyly raised her head, her eyes blurred as she looked at the handsome man in front of her who was already unable to control his emotions. Her lips trembled slightly as she whispered in an almost inaudible voice, "I love you..."
Before he finished speaking, that deep and passionate love instantly submerged the two of them like a surging tide, and the whole room was suddenly filled with layers of ambiguous ripples.
After the wind stopped and the rain stopped, Huo Qingci still hugged Lin Man tightly, and the two of them leaned against each other on the soft bed.
Suddenly, Huo Qingci took out a purchase contract and a land deed from somewhere as if by magic.
"Manman, look, I bought a whole shop for you in Hai City.
It's located right on the bustling Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and the shop is five stories high!
Huo Qingci said with a doting smile, his eyes filled with endless affection and care for Lin Man.
Lin Man's eyes widened as she stared at the contract and title deed in Huo Qingci's hand in disbelief. She stammered, "Are... are what you said true?"

"Of course it's true, baby, how could I lie to you?" Huo Qingci quickly scratched Lin Man's nose lightly and replied with a smile.
However, Lin Man's doubts were not completely eliminated.
She frowned and continued to ask suspiciously, "But, didn't you use the money from your space to buy a western-style building before?
How can you have so much money to buy such a valuable shop?
Could it be that... you sold all those precious antiques that your grandfather passed down to you?"
Hearing this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly shook his head to explain:
"Haha, Manman, I can't bear to sell those antiques that grandpa left me!
Actually, I sold the century-old ginseng you gave me before."
When she heard that the 100-year-old ginseng she had given him before was sold, Lin Man breathed a sigh of relief. "Just sell it. You don't have to feel too bad about it. I have a large, densely packed ginseng field in my space."
Not to mention hundred-year-old ginseng, there are quite a few thousand-year-old ginseng. Of course, she would not take out the thousand-year-old ginseng easily. If she took it out, no one would dare to believe that there really is a thousand-year-old ginseng in this world.
"Qingci, after you rest for two more days, I will take you to the city to see our newly purchased shop!" Lin Man said with a smile looking at Huo Qingci.
Huo Qingci quickly nodded and agreed: "Well, okay, then we will return to the city in two days. I will stay at home and accompany everyone for the next few days.
By the way, Dad said he would come over for dinner tonight, so we should cook some delicious dishes. Maybe Mom and my little sister will come over too."
Lin Man seemed to understand something and asked softly, "Mom and Dad are coming over tomorrow. I'm sure they'll ask you how you made such a huge fortune over the years. So how do you plan to answer?"
Huo Qingci knew that Lin Man was a little worried, so he comforted her, "Man Man, you don't have to worry about this.
Even though my family had doubts, they had no solid evidence to prove that the money for us to buy the shop was given by my grandfather.
And in fact, this money was not given by grandpa, so we don’t need to be afraid of them.
I'm thinking about a question right now: should we tell our parents that we not only bought a Western-style building and a five-story shop in Hai City, but we also bought two courtyard houses in Jing City?
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
After a brief silence, she slowly said, "Qingci, are you going to confess to Dad now?
I think this matter really needs careful consideration. After all, revealing so much financial information at once might cause some unnecessary trouble..."
Huo Qingci said with some worry: "This matter cannot be known to outsiders for the time being. As for my parents, you can tell them first...
Because sooner or later, Mom and Dad will know everything about us. Grandpa suddenly exposed the truth today. If we don’t tell Dad this time, he will definitely blame us for hiding it from them when he finds out about it in the future.”
"What about your brother Huo Qingyan and sister-in-law Song Jingjing? When Song Jingjing found out we bought the shop, her eyes were blazing..."
"We can't let Qingyan and the others know about this. If my sister-in-law finds out, she'll definitely make a fuss. But don't worry, Mom and Dad are smart, they definitely won't say anything."
Lin Man wanted to say that secrets would only be kept secret from the mouths of the dead. As long as it was spread by a living person, even if it was not spread today, it would be spread someday. It was only a matter of time.
She just hopes that her parents can keep this secret a little longer, and it will be time to reveal it after three or four years.
Lin Man finally sighed, "Given my parents' ability to bear it, if they knew about this, they would probably not be able to sleep for a week."
