After a year, Huo Jinxi didn't want to see Mu Qian.
I don’t want to see what she looks like now, I don’t want to know her current life, and I don’t want to know whether she is living well or not.
In one year, he has successfully isolated many unnecessary people and things. Bringing up old things again is really not his current style of doing things.
But a living flesh and blood was placed in front of him, and he had to check it.
It just so happened that a week later, he had an opportunity to go to New York on a business trip.
Taking this opportunity, he could ask his people to go to Philadelphia to find out.
Unfortunately, that business trip was extremely unsatisfactory. He encountered obstacles everywhere in New York and was left on the bench by his partners for several days without any achievements.
Finally, Huo Jinxi decided to leave.
The day I left, it was early spring, the weather was very good, the wind was sunny and sunny.
The plane's departure time was in the evening, and he gave the accompanying staff a day off, allowing everyone to move around freely, while he drove the car himself and drove away as he pleased.
The trip did not go well, and he felt depressed and uneasy, so he drove on the road unconsciously. When he came to his senses, he saw the street sign of Philadelphia in front of him.
He looked at the strange yet familiar name Delphia from afar, and suddenly remembered that his trip had another purpose.
But at this moment, he was very close to this goal.
Maybe he only needs to drive another twenty or thirty minutes to see the person he has been away from for a whole year.
She is nineteen years old.
Maybe you have matured, maybe you have become beautiful, maybe you have made new friends...
Maybe, he has been forgotten.
Huo Jinxi slowly parked the car on the side of the road and lit a cigarette for himself.
After smoking a cigarette, he restarted the car, turned around, and left without looking back.
After all, he didn't go check it out himself.
Firstly, it feels impossible, and secondly, it comes from the unmoved feeling in my heart.
After returning to New York, he sent another person to check, saying that he didn't need any information, just a result.
The person who went to investigate at that time still brought back some information and reported it without him stopping it.
After arriving in Philadelphia, she reunited with her mother, received a stable placement, attended cram school, and is currently applying to several universities in Philadelphia, including the most famous University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
She's doing well.
Never given birth to a child.
This was the result he expected, so he didn't react in any way.
It wasn't until a long, long time later that he finally understood——
Behind that complete calmness and unmovedness, what was hidden turned out to be the ultimate expectation.
It was so before and it is so now.
The difference is that in the past, he never faced or touched this expectation;
now--
After a long period of emptiness and tranquility, suddenly, something seemed to come out of the sky and hit the bottom of my heart!
His originally peaceful heart was beating violently at this moment.
Huo Jinxi suddenly stretched out his hand, took Mu Qian into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
Mu Qian's tears have never been so uncontrollable as today.
The moment he bumped into Huo Jinxi's shoulder, tears burst into his eyes again.
"Thank you." When she spoke again, Mu Qian's voice was wet and hoarse, "Thank you for letting me find my child——"
"It's our child."
Huo Jinxi spoke solemnly.
…
Mu Qian bathed Huo Qiran for a long time.
I have known Huo Qiran for more than a year. From the beginning when Huo Qiran pestered her to live with her, he took a bath by himself.
But this time, Mu Qian filled the bathtub with water and gave him a bath carefully and thoroughly.
Huo Qiran stopped crying and tried hard to coax Mu Qian to smile, so Mu Qian's eyes turned red and she laughed again and again.
The bath lasted for more than an hour. After the bath, it was already past dinner time.
"Are you hungry?" Mu Qian asked after wrapping Huo Qiran in a bath towel and carrying him to the bed.
Huo Qiran shook his head, got into bed, patted the bed, and motioned for Mu Qian to come up too.
He really hadn't seen Mu Qian for several days and missed her so much. After finally waiting for her to come back, she was still so gentle, so he couldn't wait to pester Mu Qian all the time.
"Don't worry." Mu Qian saw through his mind, "Mom has said she will never abandon you, so she won't abandon you."
She turned around and took Huo Qiran's commonly used lotion, "Shall I apply it to you?"
Huo Qiran nodded immediately and lifted the quilt.
Boys at his age have actually become more or less aware of gender, and have most likely learned to be shy in front of girls and not be too squeamish.
But probably because he doesn't speak, he matures much later than boys of the same age, so in front of Mu Qian, he is still a soft and cute child most of the time.
Mu Qian squeezed the lotion into the palm of her hand, melted it with the warmth of her palm, and then applied it little by little on Huo Qiran's body.
It turned out that he had several moles on his body, one on the back of his neck, one on his waist, and one on his butt.
When she saw the last mole, Mu Qian couldn't help but laugh, but as soon as her smile spread, her tears fell.
She's really not a good mother.
Even if she knew that her child was missing, she didn't even know what marks were on him. If it wasn't a coincidence, how could she find him?
The more Mu Qian thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more tears she shed.
Huo Qiran heard the noise and turned around to see Mu Qian crying again. He immediately became anxious and quickly reached out his hand to wipe Mu Qian's tears.
"It's okay." Mu Qian quickly comforted him, "Mom is happy."
Huo Qiran still pouted, looking uneasy.
Mu Qian put down the things in her hands, sat on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt with him, took the paper and pen on the bedside and put them into his hands.
"I haven't been at home for a long time, and I didn't even accompany you when school started." Mu Qian touched his head and said, "Tell me about your elementary school life. Are you used to it? Is the teacher treating you well? Is there anyone pretty in the class?
The little girl?”
With the new topic, Huo Qiran became excited instantly. He picked up paper and pen and started writing and drawing, introducing his favorite teacher and new friends to Mu Qian.
The mother and son sat in bed and chatted until dark.
Downstairs, Mr. Huo was sitting on the sofa, squeezing the crutch in his hand again and again.
The aunt looked anxiously at the door. When she finally saw a car driving in, she exclaimed: "We're back!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huo immediately stood up and walked to the door.
A car stopped outside, and Qi Yuan hurried in with a document bag in his hand.
He originally came to explain to Huo Jinxi, but he was stopped by Mr. Huo first. He had no choice but to hand the report to Mr. Huo first.
Mr. Huo took the document bag and opened it with uncontrollable hands trembling slightly. Then he realized that he couldn't see clearly, so he pushed the document into Qi Yuan's arms with some annoyance, "Read it!"
Qi Yuan quickly read word by word: "Paternity test report, Tongcheng Medical University Medical Laboratory Center..."
Mr. Huo was so angry that he hit him with his cane and said, "Read the results!"
Qi Yuan quickly turned to the last page. After seeing the above results clearly, he read with certainty: "...it supports the existence of... biological blood relationship between sample 1 and sample 2..."
The aunt suddenly exclaimed and covered her mouth.
Mr. Huo pressed his chest and almost burst into tears.
The aunt hurriedly stepped forward to support Mr. Huo, and she was so excited that tears filled her eyes, "Old man, Qi Ran is really Qian Qian's child! This is such a great happy event! Great, great!"
Mr. Huo exhaled, nodded slowly, and then looked at Qi Yuan again, "Send it up yet!"
Qi Yuan then hurried upstairs with the documents and opened the door of Huo Jinxi's study.
"Mr. Huo." The moment he handed over the report, Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
The identification results speak for themselves.
Huo Jinxi took a look at the appraisal report and slowly closed his eyes.
Qi Yuan stood holding his breath and concentrating.
Sure enough, when he opened his eyes again, Huo Jinxi's eyes were already deep, condensed and solemn.
