After the doctor completed the examination and determined that there was nothing wrong with the fetus, the slap marks on the face were not even skin injuries.
After Huo Tianqing asked the doctor to leave a tube of anti-inflammatory and swelling ointment, the doctor left respectfully.
Yan Chenxi wanted to do it by herself, but she didn't expect that Huo Tianqing would have to do it himself, carefully applying ointment to her and gently massaging the swollen area on her face.
After applying the ointment, Huo Tianqing asked the servant to get an iced towel and apply it on her face. The pain relief effect was very obvious.
Actually...it doesn't hurt anymore now.
After all this was done, Huo Tianqing remained silent. He just held Yan Chenxi and let her sit safely in his arms.
Being held by Huo Tianqing like this, Yan Chenxi almost fell asleep.
After a long time, when she was almost asleep, she suddenly heard Huo Tianqing say three words in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
For a moment, Yan Chenxi even felt that he had heard wrongly.
She opened her eyes and looked at Huo Tianqing, trying to find traces of joking and casualness on his face.
However, there is nothing except seriousness.
Huo Tianqing stared at her for a while and then slowly said, "She and I are half-brothers and sisters. When my father was young, he had countless confidantes. His marriage to my mother was completely a political marriage and a commercial marriage.
Their marriage is a combination of interests. And I am the link that connects them all. Before I was born, my father was still restrained. After I was born, he was completely careless and stayed in the flowers all day long. My mother couldn't stand it after all.
, and also seeks comfort from other men. That’s how she came to be.”
This passage was not difficult to understand. Yan Chenxi could tell that the woman Huo Tianqing was referring to was Huo Ziqi.
She said nothing.
"Huo Ziqi is completely the product of a wealthy family's scandal. This scandal is still something that no one can bear and cannot be made public. My father is too lazy to care about it. For him, having one more daughter and one less daughter has no impact. As long as he has me as his son,
Enough. My father didn't care, so Huo Ziqi became Huo Ziqi. But he and his mother also reached an agreement. My mother completely broke away from the Howard family. The two were still married but separated. I was still young at the time and lived alone.
The loneliness in a castle is unimaginable. I don't know why my mother wants a sister but not me. I don't want to learn those cumbersome aristocratic etiquette all day long. I also want to grow up freely..."
At this point, Huo Tianqing stopped talking.
He didn't want to talk any more.
Yan Chenxi could understand his mood.
Compared with Huo Tianqing, who is now extremely powerful, the child who was afraid of darkness, loneliness and emptiness was a side that he didn't want others to know, a fragile side.
Everyone has their own fragile side, and this is often their weakness.
The more powerful a person is, the more reluctant they are to expose their weaknesses, but Huo Tianqing allowed his weaknesses and wounds to be exposed in front of Yan Chenxi without reservation!
Yan Chenxi pursed her lips and just listened quietly without speaking.
Her silence made Huo Tianqing relax a lot.
He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Yanyan, you are my only concern now..."
