Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Marrying You Was Never an Impulse Decision
Huo Shiyuan didn’t get out of the car but instructed the driver to head to the hospital.
“Yuan Xi, that night at Shiyi Hotel was indeed my first ti, and I have no idea where this child ca from, why he looks so much like , but he really isn’t my child, I can go for a DNA test with him.”
Yuan Xi looked into Huo Shiyuan’s candid eyes, which didn’t seem deceitful.
Yuan Xi’s cellphone rang, and she answered, “Hello, Mom.”
“Xinxin, our car is almost at Ruohu, where are you at Ruohu?”
Yuan Xi said, “I’m on my way to the hospital, Mom, let’s talk when I’m free.”
“Hospital, what happened?” Yang Ying asked anxiously.
Yuan Xi said, “My stomach hurts a bit, and I’m worried about the baby, so I’m heading to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Then hurry to the hospital.”
After a half-hour drive, Huo Shiyuan reached the hospital, and the doctor confird after examining Yuan Xi that there was no major problem.
The doctor patiently told Yuan Xi, “It’s possible to experience gestational growth pain during early pregnancy. It’s okay as long as it’s not very severe. It seems that it may have coincided with excessive emotional fluctuations. From what we see now, there’s no problem. If you’re still worried, it’s best to rest for the next three days. If the pain intensifies, co back for another check-up.”
“Okay, thank you, Doctor.”
Yuan Xi felt relieved after hearing there were no problems.
Huo Shiyuan also silently breathed a sigh of relief from the sidelines.
On the ride back, Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan’s profile and said, “You live inside Ruohu Mansion, where not many people know, right?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Yes, only my family knows.”
Yuan Xi asked Huo Shiyuan, “Are you sure that night at Shiyi Hotel was your first ti?”
“Sure,” Huo Shiyuan nodded.
Yuan Xi pursed her lips lightly. If it weren’t for Huo Shiyuan’s firm admission, she wouldn’t have dared to believe it before.
But it was also possible that Huo Shiyuan had always been preserving himself for his childhood sweetheart.
After returning to Ruohu Mansion.
The little boy had already been brought into the house by the bodyguards and was obediently watching Paw Patrol on one of the bodyguard’s cell phones.
Huo Shiyuan asked the bodyguard, “How did this child get here?”
Such a young child couldn’t possibly have co alone.
The bodyguard said, “He ca in a business car. The driver lifted him out, handed him a suitcase, and then drove away imdiately. We’re currently looking up the license plate number.”
Yuan Xi looked at the little boy and asked, “What’s your na?”
The little boy said, “Shihuo.”
Huo Shiyuan frowned and asked, “Your surna is Shi?”
The little boy nodded, “I’m looking for Xiao Shihuo, my mom said Xiao Shihuo would take care of , are you Xiao Shihuo?”
Huo Shiyuan’s face turned ashen, he had sowhat guessed the child’s identity.
After sending the bodyguard outside, Huo Shiyuan dialed a number that had been silent for a long ti.
It took a while for the other side to answer, and a gentle female voice ca through, “Hello, Xiao Shihuo, why are you calling ?”
Huo Shiyuan turned on the speakerphone and asked the child in front of him, “Who is this voice?”
“Mommy!” The little boy shouted towards the phone.
The gentle female voice on the phone said, “Good Huohuo, you’re at your brother’s house now, get along well with your brother, and listen to what he says, okay?”
Huo Shiyuan took a deep breath, clearly very annoyed, “Ms. Shi, why do I have such a big younger brother, and I’m completely unaware of it?”
A male voice ca through the phone, “It’s just that we didn’t know how to tell you, and you imdiately went to Jiang City upon returning to the country; you didn’t even visit ho. We thought we weren’t good parents when you were young, so we had another child, hoping to make up for it…”
Huo Shiyuan let out a cold, ironic laugh.
A gentle female voice arose, “Later, we thought it wasn’t right. If we made up for everything we owed to your brother, that would be even more unfair, wouldn’t it? So, to be fair, we’ve decided that from now on, you’ll be the one to raise your brother.”
A male voice followed imdiately, “Aren’t you about to have a child too? Your mom and I didn’t have experience with kids when we had you and owed you a lot. Now you can practice well with your younger brother, and by the ti you have my granddaughter, you will be experienced.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? You almost ended up without a granddaughter!”
Huo Shiyuan was truly angry now; he had always known his parents were unreliable, but he hadn’t expected them to beco even more so as they got older.
Yuan Xi, listening to the conversation on the side, also guessed the identity of the callers: Huo Shiyuan’s parents. But from what she heard, her in-laws seed extrely unreliable.
Indeed, if they had been reliable, they wouldn’t have just left a four or five-year-old son at the front door.
Even waiting until the son was four or five years old before Huo Shiyuan even knew he wasn’t an only child…
Huo Shiyuan said, “Take the child back to where he ca from. Hurry up and pick him up.”
Ms. Shi’s voice was tender, “Oh no, that won’t do. We’re already in Switzerland, and it rains all the ti here, so cold…”
Huo Shiyuan, “Doesn’t he attend kindergarten?”
“Just let him attend a kindergarten in Jiang City. Just pick any school and stuff him in there.”
“Hello, little fatty, the signal here isn’t good, we are going to hang up now…”
Huo Shiyuan heard the phone being hung up on the other side. When he tried to call back, it was clear that he had been added to their blacklist.
Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and said, “I’m sorry, my parents are very unreliable, extrely unreliable, for making you misunderstand.”
Yuan Xi felt so pity for Huo Shiyuan; she wasn’t loved by her biological parents because she had been trafficked, but Huo Shiyuan’s situation was much more miserable…
Huo Shiyuan found it hard to bring himself to send the kid, who looked exactly like him, back to City A alone.
“This is your sister-in-law, you should call her sister from now on, and I’m your brother.”
“Sister, brother,” Xiao Shihuo called.
Huo Shiyuan instructed Qin Lang to hire a nanny.
Yuan Xi went to the hospital and then back to her room for a shower. When she ca out in her ho dress, she was embraced by Huo Shiyuan and seated on the bed.
Looking into Huo Shiyuan’s eyes, she could still see his worry and tension, “I’m sorry.”
Yuan Xi, “I’m fine. Do your parents not seem familiar with you?”
Originally, Yuan Xi had been afraid she wouldn’t be able to cope with the esteed family of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now it seed her worries were superfluous…
Huo Shiyuan said, “The Shiyi Group was founded by my great-grandfather and my maternal great-grandfather. The Huo and Shi families were destined to intermarry in my parents’ generation, so they had when they were twenty.
When I was a child, to my parents, I was just a toy; they played with when they were happy, and when they were unhappy, they made cry to cheer themselves up.
When they were young, they broke up and reunited countless tis, also not wanting to take over the family business. I, therefore, beca the only successor to Shiyi.
I was raised by my grandfather and maternal grandfather and indeed wasn’t close to those two unreliable people.
I never expected that they would still be so unreliable, even in their old age. They had a second child who was nearly five before I even knew about it…”
Yuan Xi tenderly stroked Huo Shiyuan’s hair out of sympathy. After the stroke, though, feeling it was inappropriate, she tried to withdraw her hand, but then she saw Huo Shiyuan’s gaze darken.
Huo Shiyuan’s large hand clasped Yuan Xi’s head, and his thin lips pressed against Yuan Xi’s red lips.
“Yuan Xi, let’s not talk about divorce ever again. My marriage to you was never a montary impulse.”
It was preditated.
Just as Huo Shiyuan was about to kiss her again, the bedroom door was opened, and a little head peeked out.
Yuan Xi quickly got out of Huo Shiyuan’s arms and went over to take Xiao Shihuo’s little hand. She looked at the face that was a mini-version of Huo Shiyuan’s and found herself quite fond of it, “Good Huohuo.”
“Huo Shiyuan, did you look like Huohuo when you were little?”
Huo Shiyuan nodded, “Hmm.”
Shihuo, like a little adult, said, “Brother, you can’t lie. Lying will make your nose grow longer.”
