Chapter 359: Huo Shaoting, Our Third Child
one, Wen Man's part-time employers called her to end their cooperation. Wen Man nodded blankly.The last call was from Gu Changqing. Wen Man answered. Neither of them spoke first, only each other's br...Ho Shaoting sent Wen Man home.
He didn't want to go to the company, he just wanted to stay with his wife, but Wen Man wouldn't allow it.
"That's not new, you go to the company!"
Ho Shaoting carried her to the sofa and turned up the heating before finally feeling at ease. The domestic staff probably guessed what had happened and all congratulated Ho Shaoting.
Ho Shao-ting generously distributed red envelopes.
Winter sunshine.
Wen Man held a cup of hot milk and watched Huo Shaoting instruct the servants. Later, he walked to the parking lot, but when he was about to get in his car, he turned his head inadvertently and met Wen Man's eyes.
Eyes met, though not a word was spoken.
But she had his child growing inside her, and that was sweet enough.
……
In the evening, Huo Shaoting picked up Huo Xi and Chongguang when they returned. As they got out of the car, little Chongguang got out first, and then helped Huo Xi out too.
Ho Shao-ting closed the car door and watched silently.
For a moment, he followed the two children into the hall.
In the hall, various precious supplements and gifts were piled up. Wen Man was instructing servants to put them into storage.
Ho Shao-ting took off his overcoat and casually asked, "Are there a lot of people here"
Wen Man shook her head: "Only Mom and Dad, and Mingzhu have been here! They brought a lot of things."
She said again, "I'd better keep my pregnancy quiet for now, so as not to attract too much attention."
Ho Shaoting saw her drooping eyebrows and meek demeanor, he couldn't help but hook his arm around her waist from behind, and said very gently: "Madam is right, pregnant women shouldn't work hard."
Wen Man felt awkward.
There are three children at home, and he does this openly. What if they follow suit
Huo Shaoting smiled.
He hugged Yunsi, the little guy looked so good, white and tender.
Huo Shaoting thought to himself: I'd better have another daughter!
She looks like Wenman and has the best personality just like Wenman.
Little Huo Xi looked at her father and then at her mother. She probably guessed what was happening, so she ran over and gently touched her mother's belly, then kissed it very carefully.
Wen Man lowered her head and stroked the little girl's brown curly hair.
Zhang Chongguang slowly walked over.
Huo Xi let Zhang Chongguang touch Wen Man's belly and whispered to him, "Zhang Chongguang, you are going to be a father. Aren't you excited"
Zhang Chongguang pasted on Wen Man's stomach.
Wen Man also patted his head.
The little guy smiled, but there were tears in his eyes. Ever since he could remember, his parents had been constantly fighting. He lost his mother at a young age, and the gentleness of a woman felt so unfamiliar to him.
Zhang Chongguang had never told anyone else, his greatest desire was to spend festivals and holidays with Uncle Huo, hoping that he would be invited to stay at the Huo family for a few days...
Wen Man was very empathetic to him.
She bent down and kissed him, whispering, "Chongguang, you can call me Mom too."
But Zhang Chongguang was a 7-year-old boy, and he was embarrassed.
Her face was slightly flushed.
Wen Man didn't insist. She always respected the children. In the evening, she was originally going to cook dinner for them, but Huo Shaoting sent her to rest in the end. She was helpless: "I'm just pregnant, I'm not that fragile!"
Ho Shao-ting hugged her waist and whispered, "I don't know about other people, but for me, it's the first time! You rest, I'll go get it!"
He may not be as skilled as Wen Man, but it's quite interesting to see him working with the two children.
At night, Wen Man was hungry.
She turned over, pressing against Huo Shaoting, looking at him expectantly.
Ho Shao-ting woke up.
He was also looking at her, his voice hoarse from just waking up: "What time is it My wife is hungry"
The quilt was warm and cozy. Usually, even Wen Man wouldn't want him to wake her up and fuss around. But with this child in her belly, she didn't feel nauseous or uncomfortable, and her appetite was especially good.
She rested her head on his shoulder: "I want to eat ox bone soup!"
Ho Shaoting lightly patted her on the ass, "What's difficult What do you want to eat!"
But he still got up, dressing as he said: "Honey, just make whatever you want! Sweet or savory."
Wen Man thought he was down-to-earth.
In a while, I thought he was a hooligan and shameless.
Ho Shaoting put on a sweater and went downstairs to make bone broth. Wen Man stayed in the warm bedroom. She couldn't sleep, so she got up and took Ho Xi and Chongguang's homework and looked at it carefully.
She treats every one of her many children with care and attention.
She also knows that adding another child would make it almost impossible to expand her business further, but with the music center and restaurant already doing so well, perhaps she could invest in one or two movies occasionally!
A woman who lives a contented life is always gentle.
She reflected on the past at night, finding much solace.
An hour later, Huo Shaoting brought in a pot of ox bone soup, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.
"Beef bone soup wontons, give them a try."
He placed the tray on the small coffee table in the living room and watched Wen Man eat politely. Although she was quite picky, she seemed to really like what Huo Shaoting had made.
"Delicious." she smiled faintly at him.
Ho Shao-ting's icy hand brushed against her face: "As long as it tastes good!"
Wen Man glared at him.
Ho Shao-ting just smiled.
For a while, he took out a cigarette and said softly, "I'm going outside for a smoke. I've held it in all day!"
Wen Man hummed in agreement.
She won't ask him to quit smoking. Men in business always have lots of social engagements.
Just, don't smoke in front of the children.
Ho Shaoting went out for a cigarette, the study didn't have the heating on, and he opened the window again. It was actually a bit cold.
But his heart had never been so full.
Wen Man is pregnant. The feelings this child brings are something others can't understand.
He likes her, loves her.
But their memories of that time remained blank, perhaps to outsiders Huo Shaoting was a strong man, whether as Mr. Huo or Mr. Huo, he thrived in everything he did.
But in matters of the heart, there are no victors.
He can also be vulnerable and worried. Even for a long time after Gu Changqing's passing, he was concerned that Wen Man still harbored feelings for Gu Changqing, perhaps even placing him above himself.
The child has arrived...
Ho Shao-ting's heart was filled with gratitude.
From now on, those worries will just be worries.
A fierce night wind blew. Huo Shaoting exhaled the last wisp of smoke and closed the window before leaving the study... In the bedroom, there was his wife, and their unborn child.
Wen Man would lean against the headboard, reading a book and waiting for him.
Gentleness, tempering the chill of night…
……
In the morning, Wen Man got up.
Ho Shaoting has already taken care of Ho Xi and Chongguang getting up, the two little guys are eating breakfast, and the schoolbag is neatly placed on the sofa.
Ho Shao-ting was dressed impeccably, with a courier package in his hand.
Wen Man was a little puzzled: "Is this for me"
"No!"
He spoke calmly and was about to throw the package back into the storage room when Wen Man stopped him: "I want to see it."id softly, "Jiang Rui, let's not keep in touch!""Because of Huo Shaoting"Wen Man did not deny it.She didn't go that far with Jiang Rui. She didn't want him to get involved because of her. He deserved...
