182 Marry Me Again
Xie Yaoyao was taken aback. "What kind of agreement do you want the lawyer to draft?"
"My entire fortune is yours, Manman. Back then, I had nothing, and you had to marry me against your will. Now I want to ask you to marry me again. How about I give you my billions?"
Huo Yanxi looked at Xie Yaoyao with deep affection and tenderness in his eyes, his expression serious.
He gave away his entire fortune without hesitation.
Xie Yaoyao: "Why would I need all your wealth? I don't need money."
Aside from saving money to buy a house in the port city, she doesn't actually have high material desires and doesn't like luxury goods.
Even though she knew Huo Yanxi was the world's richest man, she never coveted his wealth.
Huo Yanxi said, "I know you don't lack money, but I want you to have everything I have."
"So what are you going to do if you give me all your assets?" Xie Yaoyao asked him very seriously.
Huo Yanxi said, "I'll work for you. You can pay me a salary from now on. You don't need to give me too much money, just enough for me to treat my friends to a drink."
Xie Yaoyao was moved to tears. Regardless of whether they were on a busy street, she tiptoed up to Huo Yanxi and kissed him on the thin lips.
Huo Yanxi immediately looked at her with a burning gaze that seemed to want to devour her whole, "Manman..."
"Hello, my dear farmhand, from now on you will be my personal farmhand."
Xie Yaoyao smiled and teased, the sunlight falling on her as if she were enveloped in a soft halo.
Huo Yanxi suddenly reached out and pinched her slender waist, lifting her up. He lowered his head slightly and captured her flower-like lips in his mouth.
She had just drunk milk tea, and he tasted a hint of black tea, along with a touch of sweetness.
He was a little reluctant to let go, so he swept his lips over hers, savoring every last bit of sweetness, before finally releasing her.
Xie Yaoyao jumped three feet away, nearly bumping into a passing tourist.
She raised her hand to cover her mouth; the kiss was too impulsive, and her face was burning up.
Huo Yanxi had a faint smile on his lips, looking nothing like the person he had just threatened to devour.
"Manman, don't stay so far away from me."
Xie Yaoyao's cheeks were burning, and she felt that everyone around her was looking at her with maternal smiles.
She turned around, buried her head, and rushed forward.
Xie Ziyu watched Xie Yaoyao turn and run away, his small eyes filled with great confusion.
"Uncle, what happened to my mommy?"
Huo Yanxi's smile deepened. "Your mommy's shy, isn't that cute?"
Xie Ziyu: "...My mommy is cute no matter what."
"Okay, let's go find our adorable Manman then." Huo Yanxi led his son forward.
After passing through the food street, you'll find boat houses with rich cultural heritage ahead, some old and some newly built.
Layer upon layer, old and new alternate.
Xie Yaoyao walked ahead, looking at the place where she had lived since childhood, her heart filled with emotion.
The sea breeze ruffled her long hair, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
She stood by the roadside, looking at the newly renovated cement road.
When I was a child, this road was always full of potholes, especially during the rainy season when it became extremely muddy.
Every day when they come back from school, their feet are covered in mud and water.
Besides, many heartwarming things have happened along this road.
She remembers that when she was in first grade, her grandmother was worried about her and was afraid that she would not be able to find her way home.
She took her hand and led her to school, then carried her back on her back.
Back then, her grandmother carried her on her back. When she was little, she was about the same size and chubby as Xie Ziyu, which made her back bend, but she never uttered a sound.
And so, her grandmother led her through first grade. Later, when she was a little older with Huo Yanxi, Huo Yanxi would hold her hand and take her to school every day.
They've been through so much on this road.
Looking back now, I realize that Huo Yanxi and my grandmother are among those memories I can't let go of.
Suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder, and Xie Yaoyao instinctively turned her head to look.
She saw the man's clear and handsome profile, and Huo Yanxi turned to look at her.
Are you thinking about your grandma?
Xie Yaoyao blinked. "Yes, Grandma passed away too early and didn't get to enjoy my blessings."
"Don't think like that. Grandma has tried her best to stay with you longer. She's probably just too tired, so she wants to go first. She doesn't want you to be sad."
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "I know, Grandma loves me the most."
Looking at the smile on her face, Huo Yanxi felt a pang of guilt and didn't even want to tell her the truth.
Perhaps it would be better for her not to acknowledge her biological parents.
After all, in his opinion, those parents weren't even qualified to be parents.
He didn't want to see her disappointed in her grandmother, or fall into pain or confusion.
"Manman, I will cherish you from now on, and cherish you for the rest of my life."
Xie Yaoyao looked up at him and said with a smile, "I know, sometimes I feel pretty lucky."
Huo Yanxi took her hand and led Xie Ziyu along the rainbow running track on the coastline.
The weather isn't so hot now, and many tourists are bringing their children out to play.
The beach in front of the houseboat was packed with people, and there were also many food stalls on both sides of the road.
The family of three walked along the coastline. Xie Yaoyao said, "Huo Yanxi, I don't plan to acknowledge the Chi family as relatives."
Huo Yanxi was taken aback. "Have you thought it through?"
“I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I’ve also looked up the Chi family online. They’re a large and powerful family, but their fortunes are declining.”
Huo Yanxi pursed his thin lips slightly, "If you want, I can help the Chi family rise again."
Xie Yaoyao shook her head. "I don't have that idea. It's normal for big families to decline. I don't want to acknowledge them, and I don't want them to use my fame to come to you for cooperation."
“Manman.” Huo Yanxi stopped and looked intently into her eyes. “You know I don’t care about this.”
“But I do care,” Xie Yaoyao said. “Sometimes I can be selfish and have dark thoughts.”
Perhaps afraid that Huo Yanxi would see the resentment in her eyes, she looked away and gazed ahead.
“I have been separated from them for more than 20 years, and I have no so-called kinship with them.”
“During the most difficult time of my life, their adopted daughter tried to kill me.”
"If I hadn't been lucky, Yu Bao and I might not have been able to see you alive, Huo Yanxi. I don't intend to forgive them, nor do I intend to acknowledge them."
Huo Yanxi felt as if his heart was being torn apart after hearing her words.
He thought he had been too lenient with Chi Wanwan.
Back then, she persecuted Manman so badly that they almost died together. He only had the Chi family send her abroad, which was too lenient for her.
He should leave her with nothing and nowhere to die.
Huo Yanxi said apologetically, "Fine, if you don't want to acknowledge them, then don't. You don't need them anymore."
Xie Yaoyao smiled at him, "Yeah, I don't need them anymore."
Huo Yanxi hugged her tenderly, thinking that the two of them were truly a match made in heaven.
They neither received love from their parents; they only had each other.
