The servants serving around the dining table all covered their mouths in surprise, staring at Xia Zhitong's slender body with pairs of dark eyes. A pair of small white jade hands were habitually touching her abdomen. She had been doing this for a long time.
But no one guessed that Xia Zhitong was pregnant!
Xia Zhitong was very uneasy. She squeezed the corners of her clothes tightly with her delicate white hands, and her palms were sweating...
Her eyes for help fell on the man next to her. Huo Wenxuan's crystal eyes were like a pool of calm lake water. He looked at her faintly and held her small hand in his big hand. Xia Zhitong subconsciously wanted to escape from the small hand, but was held tightly by him.
Hold on tight.
"Xuan, tell me, is this true?" Everyone was happy, except Huo Wanyi, who looked suspicious.
Huo Wenxuan turned his eyes and looked at Huo Wanyi steadily, "Aunt, of course this is true, Xiaotong...she..."
Xia Zhitong's heart was beating wildly as she stared at Huo Wenxuan's handsome profile. How could he be so calm? If Huo Wanyi knew that the child was not Wenxuan's, she didn't know what would happen...
Huo Wenxuan's hand tightened on Xia Zhitong's little hand again. A handsome smile appeared on his lips, and he said to Huo Tian'ao and Huo Wanyi, "She is pregnant with my child!"
"Nonsense!" Huo Wanyi was the first to speak. Her face was gloomy, and she was biting her red lips. Those beautiful eyes seemed to tear Xia Zhitong apart, and she could clearly see her lying heart!
Xia Zhitong's body trembled, and her trembling eyelashes cast deeper shadows under the gorgeous crystal lamp...
"I say you are talking nonsense!" Huo Tianao shouted coldly, and glared at Huo Wanyi with sharp eyes. Huo Wanyi looked like she was holding her breath. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.
Huo Tianao looked at Xia Zhitong's watery eyes that were about to burst into tears after being made difficult by Huo Wanyi, and cursed in his heart why his sister bullied his daughter-in-law like this, damn it!
"Girl, I said you are the lucky star of our Huo family. As soon as you married into our Huo family, you immediately gave me a grandson. I have decided that you will chat with me every day from now on, and then I will give you something every day.
Play music, do prenatal care, and by the way... dance for me..."
Huo Tianao said with a smile, his black eyes full of love for the younger generation, while Huo Wanyi on the side had a cold expression. The knife and fork in her hand tore the steak into pieces on the plate, and she looked at her beautiful eyes.
What aroused in Xia Zhitong was not disgust, but jealousy!
"Ah...dancing every day..." Xia Zhitong pursed her lips and glanced at Huo Wenxuan beside her.
Huo Wenxuan continued, "Dad, Xiaotong's feet have been injured and are not suitable for dancing. Besides, she is pregnant, and you still let her dance..."
Xia Zhitong nodded quickly, Jianshui Qiu eyes stared at Huo Tianao, as if desperately saying yes!
Huo Tianao frowned and said, "Only pregnant women need to exercise. Today's young people are so delicate because they lack exercise! It's decided that starting tomorrow, I will exercise with my daughter-in-law and my grandson!"
"
Exercise together??
Xia Zhitong's eyes widened, and she didn't understand how Huo Tian'ao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, could exercise...?
…
The dinner was finished in a warm atmosphere. Xia Zhitong always thought that a person like Huo Tian'ao must be a man of few words. Who knew that he was particularly funny and kept laughing at Wenxuan's interesting things when he was in school?
It’s not like an elder is criticizing Xia Zhitong for eating too little and being too thin.
This Mr. Huo was a bit picky, but he made Xia Zhitong feel like a father...like a family...
*
Time is like quicksand...
In the blink of an eye, Xia Zhitong spent two weeks with Huo Tianao. Although Huo Tianao was in a wheelchair, he could still shoot baskets in the wheelchair. Occasionally, he would play some cheerful music in the garden and let Xia Zhitong dance aerobics with him.
.
"Xiaotong, you know you look a lot like the same person."
"Huh?" Xia Zhitong twisted her waist, turned around suddenly, and looked at Huo Tianao with her watery eyes.
Huo Tianao's deep black eyes showed deep longing.
"Like my dead wife, she was very beautiful and liked to dance, but... she wasn't as good at dancing as you..." There was a faint sense of vicissitudes in his words, and tears gathered in his old eyes, which turned red.
Xia Zhitong felt that her surroundings suddenly became desolate. She finally understood why Huo Tianao liked to watch her dance. Perhaps it was because her dancing reminded him of his dead wife.
"Do you love her?" Xia Zhitong was curious for some reason.
"Love, of course I love her, but it's a pity... I loved her too late. It wasn't until she died that I suddenly realized that my love for her was so deep that I didn't even want to accept the news of her death. You
Do you know? When she died, I was actually holding another woman in my arms, without even seeing her last glance... Until the next day, when I went to the hospital and saw her body, my heart felt as if someone had been cruel to her.
He stabbed me hard, and the person who stabbed me was none other than myself!
I hate myself, so I dare not go to the funeral, let alone face her in front of her tombstone..."
Tears of grief condensed in Huo Tianao's eyes, and Xia Zhitong suddenly felt a sore nose. It turned out that he had missed, loved, and regretted, but unfortunately, his love eventually turned into ashes, just like the withered leaves flying in the cool breeze.
It’s impossible to save it…
"Master, you are really bad! Very bad!"
"You——!" Huo Tianao lowered his head and snorted displeasedly, "Damn girl, you took the opportunity to harm me again!"
"I love you. Why don't you men always admit it? At least I won't deny it..."
Huo Tianao was speechless by what she said. Why didn't he understand the simple truth that this little girl understood?
"You really look like a person, I found..."
"Who? Who do I look like again?"
"Your father is a close friend that I haven't seen for many years. I rarely come back to China and want to visit him, but..."
Xia Zhitong's heart also ached. A car accident took away her father, and her body could not be found.
Huo Tianao shook his head and stopped talking. Perhaps everything he said today was filled with deep sadness, making the atmosphere a little depressing.
"Girl, will you go out with me once?"
"Where to go?"
Huo Tianao looked mysterious and said with a smile, "Secret."
…
In the afternoon, Huo Tianao recalled Huo Wenxuan and Xia Zhitong, and the three of them left the Huo family mansion in a car.
Huo Wanyi, who had been left out in the cold for the past few days, stood at the door and stared at the car driving away. Tears actually fell from her beautiful, aloof eyes.
"Xia Zhitong, I must drive you out. No one can occupy my Tianao..."
Say it, she wiped away her tears, with a hint of sinisterness in her beautiful eyes.
"Someone's coming!"
The old housekeeper walked respectfully to Huo Wanyi.
"Help me always pay attention to Xia Zhitong's every move. After one to three months, I will immediately take her for a paternity test. No matter what the result is, it is not allowed to prove that the child is Xuan, you know!"
The butler lowered his head, turned his eyes with a clear eye on world affairs, and replied, "Yes!"
…

As the car left the villa, Xia Zhitong stared at Huo Tianao curiously, "Master, where are you taking me?"
Huo Wenxuan was also kept in the dark. He found that since Xia Zhitong's arrival, his usually taciturn father often did some strange things. Sometimes, he would also envy Xia Zhitong because his father seemed to like her very much, and he was very fond of her.
I am as polite and respectful as a friend, but over the past twenty years, the relationship between the two has always seemed to be missing something.
"After hearing what you said about 'bad' just now, I decided to do something that's not bad. I wanted to burn a stick of incense in front of my wife's grave. However, maybe it was too late..."
"It's not too late!" Xia Zhitong grabbed Huo Tian'ao's big hand and said, "It's never too late at any time. I think Madam must be waiting for this day too. You love her so much, why don't you kiss her in person?
Should I tell her in front of her grave? I think she will be very happy to hear this in heaven."
Huo Tianao was shocked, his eyes fixed on Xia Zhitong's beautiful and pure face, as if his favorite woman was smiling at him, saying that she had forgiven him...
Huo Tianao nodded and touched her head, "It would be great if I had a daughter like you..."
"Isn't that what I am now?" Xia Zhitong asked.
In the car, light laughter came...
The scenery outside the car gradually became desolate.
Not far from the car, a black car followed, biting like a fierce wolf!

The greenery of the mountains is dyed with the golden color of autumn.
A lonely tomb, no one has ever repaired it, and only occasionally asked servants to take care of it regularly.
The small white flowers swirled and fell in the breeze, clinging to Huo Tianao's shoulders. Huo Wenxuan pushed his wheelchair through the weeds and arrived at the grave.
When Huo Tianao saw the tomb, his heart suddenly hurt and his body began to tremble...
"Xuan, help me down, quickly!"
Huo Wenxuan helped Huo Tian'ao and brought him to the grave.
Sudden--
Kneel down!
Xia Zhitong and Huo Wenxuan were both shocked at the same time. They watched Huo Tianao lower his head and confessed,
"Yun'er, I'm here...I'm here to confess to you...
I was wrong, I was so wrong!
It was me who killed you!!!"
Huo Tianao couldn't hide his excitement. He knelt on the ground, his body stiff and unable to move.
Xia Zhitong covered her lips, looking like she couldn't bear it.
A pair of watery eyes were dyed red, and the mood seemed to be heavy. It turned out that the couple who loved each other had no time to express their love, and the yin and yang were separated, which turned out to be so miserable.
If he had told his love when she was there, perhaps Huo Tianao would not be like now, unable to extricate himself from guilt and pain...
…
In the distance, a pair of sinister black eyes stared fiercely at the man kneeling in front of the grave like an eagle!
His stern face seemed to be covered with harsh frost, and his cold thin lips were tightly pressed into a black line, as if he was suppressing it fiercely before breaking out!
Slowly... he put his big hands, which had already sprouted veins, into his pocket and touched a gun.
He cocked the gun, squinted his sharp eyes, and locked his eyes tightly on the backs of the three people in the distance...!
"boom--"
One sound!
The silence of the cemetery was broken by sudden gunshots!

Hehe, Chengxi is following you again. Why the hell are you staying there for so long? Grab whatever you want!
