The long night finally faded away little by little, and gradually a patch of white light intertwined with gray light appeared on the horizon. Circles of red halo were dimly reflected on the horizon. The warm sun shone from the east.
The sky slowly rises...
It was still cold in the morning, and Mr. Huo had already woken up. The alarm clock on the bedside read six o'clock.
The old man always gets up early. For decades, he has never gotten up a minute later unless he was sick.
When I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, the old lady sleeping next to me also woke up and asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Following the old man's habit for decades, the old lady never forgets to prepare breakfast before he goes out in the morning.
At first, the old man always advised her that the guards would help prepare three meals and not let her do it. But she insisted on preparing the meals for her husband with her own hands. Over time, he probably got used to the taste of her cooking and let her prepare it.
Got it!
I have been doing this for decades, and even she has gotten used to it.
A plain and simple family life, yet full of meticulous care and love amid the tedium.
The old man knew his wife's thoughts well, but he just replied with a gloomy look, "Whatever."
The corner of the old lady's mouth twitched: I have been asking for decades, but she has always said this.
However, she didn't dare to say anything. Because of their grandson's daughter-in-law, the two elders didn't sleep well the whole night last night. When they got up, the bags under their eyes were obviously deep and swollen.
The old lady didn't want to cause any more trouble to her husband, so she dressed as usual and got out of bed. The old lady had already walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen outside——
The old man likes to eat pasta, and there happened to be some noodles in the refrigerator. The old lady boiled a pot of water and prepared some noodles...
Suddenly, someone rushed in outside the door. Before the old lady could raise her head, the person shouted angrily, "Mom, do you know? That woman outside Xiaoyuan is pregnant!"
It’s the youngest daughter Huo Shuzhen.
The old lady paused for a moment, then continued to sprinkle noodles into the pot with a calm face, "Don't talk nonsense. Her pregnancy has nothing to do with Xiaoyuan, so don't mention it again."
Huo Shuzhen was stunned. She had just learned the news from her husband Lian Guoqiao. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she ran straight back to her parents' house. Unexpectedly, the old lady knew about it already.
.
"But, how did I hear that the woman said outside that the child is our Xiaoyuan's..."
The old man's majestic voice came from the living room outside, "Where did you hear the rumor?!"
As soon as Huo Shuzhen heard her father's evil voice, her whole body softened reflexively. She knew that her father hated those talkative women who talked behind their backs, so she had to carry her husband out and said, "Guoqiao called me
Let me ask if this is the case..."
Lian Guoqiao is pragmatic and sincere, and his reputation in the old man's heart has always been very high. But nine times out of ten, everything Guoqiao says is well-founded.
It was precisely because of this about her husband that Huo Shuzhen became more and more anxious: "I just heard the news about my niece's infertility last night. If the woman outside is really pregnant with the Huo family's child, just kick her out of City C like this."
, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”
The old man frowned and pondered for a moment, "Go, call Xiao Yuan home, and listen to what he has to say first."
The old man was afraid that there were too many people in the hospital talking, and it would be bad if the news accidentally reached the ears of the Gu family.
Huo Shuzhen also understood this truth. She agreed with a "Hey", turned around and walked out of the kitchen, then went to the living room and picked up the phone, "..."
The phone only rang once, then someone pressed the button, and a dull "beep..." sound came from the receiver.
Huo Shuzhen was stunned: This kid is so ambitious that he dares to refuse to answer the call from his old house?
After about a minute or two, the phone rang. It was Huo Tianyuan who came back.
Hearing her aunt's scolding, she just smiled softly and said, "Chenchen is still sleeping, I don't want to disturb her."
Huo Shuzhen heard the doting in his tone and suddenly couldn't speak, "Um - Xiaoyuan, you..."
When the old man saw her hesitating look, he reached out to grab the phone——
Huo Shuzhen avoided his strong hands and said, "The old man asked you to come back for questioning. If it's inconvenient, just say..."
In the corridor of the hospital, the strong smell of disinfectant filled the nostrils.
Huo Tianyuan was talking on the phone with his back to the door of the ward. Facing the morning light, his tall figure cast a long shadow on the porcelain white floor tiles, glowing with a charming light in the coldness.
Hearing that the old man wanted to ask him back for questioning, Huo Tianyuan pondered for a moment, and then calmly said to Huo Shuzhen on the phone, "I'll go back in a moment."
Fortunately, he also had something to say.

Hospital. When Gu Yichen woke up, the curtains in the ward were already covered with a thin golden light. The warm sun was shining outside the window, and it was getting late!
She was the only one left in the ward. Huo Tianyuan probably went back to the company to handle official business.
She was silently dazed for a while, then found her mobile phone from the pillow and pressed the power button——
After a crisp startup music, she received several emails from the company's department heads on her phone. She checked them one by one and approved her comments.
As soon as I finished my work, I saw my mother's familiar figure walking in from the door, smiling and saying, "Are you awake?"
Gu Yichen called "Mom" and looked around the room again.
Mrs. Gu walked to her daughter's bedside with her middle-aged and stout body, and said with a clear smile, "Stop looking for her. I told you before I left that I will come back to see you as soon as I finish my work."
He turned around again, took out an unopened toothbrush, a mouthwash cup, a brand new towel, and a red washbasin from the bedside cabinet, and handed them to her, "Get up and wash up!"
He murmured something in a low voice, unable to hide the emotion in his heart, "This kid is so attentive, I even forgot to prepare these things."
In fact, Mrs. Gu came to the hospital early in the morning. Her son-in-law took care of her daughter all night, and she rushed to change shifts.
She urged her son-in-law to go home and catch up on his sleep. Unexpectedly, he left for less than half an hour before he came back again, carrying a large bag of toiletries and snacks, and said shyly that he would wait for her daughter to wake up.
Just give it to her.
Mrs. Gu felt his affection for her daughter, and her heart became more and more sour. When Gu Yichen got up to wash up, she secretly wiped away her tears:
Is she really selfish? She clearly knows that keeping her daughter with him will delay him, but she really can't say it. She really doesn't want such an excellent man to leave her most beloved daughter...
Gu Yichen came out of the bathroom and saw her mother's eyes were red. She opened her arms and hugged her body tightly from behind, "Mom, don't do this anymore. I will take good care of my body and I will definitely give you a baby again in the future."
A fat and white grandson!"
Mrs. Gu's nose felt sore, big hot tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked with sobs, "Okay..."
Lao Gu and Tianyuan were right, they must not let their daughter know the news of her infertility. She is still holding on to hope, so that she will not be in such pain and can pretend to be relieved to comfort her mother.
She reached out and patted her daughter's slender arm, "Here, let's bring the chicken soup first, and then eat something, so that we can recover quickly."
Gu Yichen let go of her mother as instructed and drank the soup obediently...
That obedient and well-behaved look made Mrs. Gu feel sad again. She looked away and asked tentatively, "Chenchen, would you like to move back home?"
Gu Yichen was stunned and put down the bowl in his hand. His fair face was obviously troubled, "Mom, please help me persuade Dad! Huo Tianyuan is really not the kind of person he imagined. I can feel it.
You have me in your heart. Mom, I don’t want a divorce..."
Mrs. Gu suddenly reached out and took her daughter into her arms! But she couldn't say a word!

Huo Zhai.
When Huo Tianyuan hurried back, the two elders of the Huo family, Governor Huo and Mrs. Huo, as well as Huo Shuzhen, and all the elders of the family were already waiting in the hall.
Seeing his tall figure approaching, the old man's angry roar immediately sounded, "You bastard! Didn't I ask you to handle that woman's affairs last time? How did you handle it?"
Huo Tianyuan was thinking about how to deal with his wife's infertility for his elders. Suddenly he was yelled at by the old man, and his mind went blank for a few seconds before he realized that he was talking about Li Xiao.
His expression turned serious, "Gu Yichen and I have reconciled, and she knows that I have nothing to do with Xiaoxiao——"
Before he finished speaking, the old man's face twitched, and he smacked a tea cup, "It doesn't matter, people are still saying they are pregnant with your child!!!"
Huo Tianyuan narrowly avoided the splashing tea, and frowned coldly, "The child is not mine. I have asked someone to investigate this matter, and there will be results soon."
Only then did the old man regain some of his anger, "You better think carefully about it, our Huo family is not just for anyone to come in if they want. Please clean up all that shit of yours!"
Huo Shuzhen said "Hey" in surprise at this time, "According to what Xiao Yuan said, this woman is pregnant with another bastard and wants to frame her for our Huo family?"
"..." No one in the family answered her question. It was obvious that they disdained her question.
Huo Shuzhen was unhappy, "You didn't tell me the specific situation. Guoqiao also arranged a position for her as Provincial and Taiwan Propaganda Minister. Wouldn't that be a benefit to her in vain? No! I have to let her see our Huo family.
It’s awesome!”
Huo Shuzhen had lived in the military compound since she was a child, and she was known for her uncompromising eldest lady style. Normally, only the old man and Lian Guoqiao could control her.
Now she was so angry that she patted her buttocks and got up and rushed out. No one could stop her. They all turned their attention to the old man who was sitting high on the side -
"Let her go. Just ask the two guards to follow her and don't kill anyone." He waved his hand again, indicating that Huo Tianyuan could leave.
——"Grandpa, I want to talk about Gu Yichen."
