Chapter 65 - Ask Casually

“I was just asking casually. You don’t need to be so anxious.” Huo Yunqi turned around and left. When he arrived at the door, he turned around and looked at Ji Wei with a slightly more thoughtful expression. “Take good care of him. Call me if you need anything.”

Since he was his son, he naturally had to take good care of him.

The next morning, a bomb exploded in C City. The headlines of the major mainstream media were filled with news that Huo Yunqi had an illegitimate child, accompanied by photos. Huo Yunqi rushed out of the apartment with the child in his arms, followed by Ji Wei, who was dressed in a home uniform. He looked very much like a family.

“You allowed it?”

The president’s office, Ye Shaochen , who was sitting on the sofa, held a cup of coffee in one hand. His other hand stretched out two slender fingers and twisted the newspaper on the table. However, he couldn’t understand Huo Yunqi’s thoughts. If he hadn’t secretly allowed this kind of news to appear in these newspapers without restraint, unless the newspaper didn’t want to have a foothold in C City, no one would have rushed to offend Huo Yunqi.

Huo Yunqi lit a cigarette and leaned against the black leather boss’s chair, spitting out a mouthful of clouds. His lazy voice contained killing intent, “Since someone wants to make trouble, wouldn’t it be disappointing if I didn’t add fuel to the fire?”

Only by flipping over the water would one know what kind of dirt was hidden below!

“I understand what you mean, but with Luo Bing …”

Ye Shaochen frowned and drank a mouthful of coffee. His eyes were filled with worry. He could tell that Huo Yunqi was serious about Xia Luobing this time, but one thing after another, they were separated.

“Why don’t we postpone the wedding first? Let her cushion it?” Ye Shaochen hesitated and suggested.

The winter afternoon was always shorter, but at 4:30, it was already dark outside. There were no lights on in the office. The expression on Huo Yunqi’s face was so blurry that one couldn’t see it clearly, but his voice was incomparably clear, carrying an unquestionable determination.

“No!”

This was the only way he could keep her by his side. He had to first keep her people, and then slowly find her heart!

It had to be like this! This was the only way!

Ye Shaochen fell silent. The coffee in the cup was already cold. In the dark office, the two of them sat quietly without saying anything.

At night, when Huo Yunqi returned home, everyone was there. They were clearly waiting for him. Very good.

“Brother!” Huo Yunxi stood up and greeted him first, reminding him in a low voice, “Dad is very angry. Tell him properly!”

Although Huo Yunxi was annoyed with him because of Ji Wei, she was still the closest big brother after all. She still couldn’t bear to see him being scolded!

Huo Yunqi nodded, the ice in his eyes showing signs of melting.

“Dad, Mom.” Huo Yunqi sat on the sofa in her coat and leaned back slightly, her expression lazy and idle. “If you have anything to say, just say it!”

“Clang!”

Huo Zhengxiong smashed the marble floor heavily with his walking stick. The heavy sound hurt his eardrums, but Huo Yunqi didn’t seem to hear it. The curve of his mouth didn’t even change at all.

“Yunqi, what did the newspaper say about that woman? And that child, is it really yours?”

Liu Yan ignored the old man’s anger and looked at Huo Yunqi anxiously, waiting for her son to explain it to her.

Seeing that the child was already two or three years old in the newspaper, she would probably call him Grandma.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan anxiously said, “If it really is our Huo family’s child, we will definitely …”

“Are you sure you want it back?” Huo Yunqi interrupted Liu Yan and said coldly, “If all the children in the world come to call for my father, will our Huo family open a welfare home?”

Hearing this, Liu Yan was stunned. She looked at this son who had never understood before and hesitated, “You said that child wasn’t it?”

Huo Zhengxiong ‘s expression relaxed as he looked at Huo Yunqi and said seriously, “It’s not best to investigate this matter as soon as possible. If it’s true, bring the child back! How can our Huo family’s child be left outside?”

“No!” Huo Yunxi anxiously interrupted and glared at Huo Yunqi, his fingers trembling with anger. “Brother, bring that child back. What about sister-in-law?”

Liu Yan glared at Huo Yunxi and complained that she shouldn’t mention Xia Luobing at this time. If the child belonged to the Huo Clan and could change her son’s thoughts about marrying Xia Luobing, wouldn’t it be better?

“Don’t worry.” Huo Yunqi looked at Huo Yunxi with a gentle gaze and said slowly, “No matter what happens, it won’t affect Luo Bing and me’s wedding!”

“What if that child is really your son?” Huo Zhengxiong stared at his son.

The old man passed away and handed the company over to Huo Yunqi. In just a few years, Huo’s scale had multiplied several times, becoming the strongest company in C City. He had always been proud of having such a son, but these past few years, he could no longer understand his son’s thoughts.

“Even so, I can’t marry the child’s mother back, can I?” Huo Yunqi turned to look at Liu Yan and raised her eyebrows with a lazy expression, “Otherwise, what would Zhuang Xinran do? Didn’t she also say that the child in her belly is mine?”

Liu Yan’s expression stiffened as she watched Huo Yunqi’s mouth open. She didn’t say anything for a long time. Her son was right. What if the two children were Huo Family children? What about the two women? You can’t marry them all?

“Cough cough! Cough cough!” Huo Zhengxiong coughed a few times, his face flushed red. After a long time, he waved his hand and looked at his son. “You have always had your own thoughts. I believe you can handle this matter properly!”

Huo Yunqi nodded, “Of course!”

Liu Yan frowned as she looked at Huo Yunqi. She was still a little unwilling, “Your wedding to Xia Luobing …”

Right now, there was a scandal about an illegitimate child on one side and Zhuang Xinran ‘s belly on the other. On the contrary, Xia Luobing avoided the whirlpool and stood outside. This made Liu Yan unable to explain what she felt in her heart. In any case, she was quite unhappy!

“My wedding with Bing Bing will be held on time!” Huo Yunqi’s attitude was resolute, his expression cold, and there was no room for negotiation.

This time, no one could stop his wedding to Bing Bing!

“But …”

“Help me upstairs!” Huo Zhengxiong stood up with his walking stick and interrupted Liu Yan. After taking a few steps, he turned to look at Huo Yunqi and said, “Handle this matter as soon as possible!”

The longer this matter dragged on, the greater the impact on the reputation of the Huo family, and even the development of the company.

Huo Yunxi ‘s face, which had been cold all night, finally felt warmer. He nodded at the old man and said, “Alright!”

As long as he made up his mind to do something, no one could obstruct him, nor could he obstruct him!

“Brother, you and sister-in-law” Huo Yunxi said carefully. She had heard from Ye Shaochen that the relationship between the two of them was very tense, and that Xia Luobing lived alone in a single apartment.

“I will take care of it!” Huo Yunqi said indifferently, his eyes sparkling with determination.

“Idiot!”

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Zhuang Xinran smashed a whole set of crystal goblets. A crisp sound pierced through his eardrums. The servants of the entire dealer did not dare to breathe. They were afraid that they would accidentally provoke the eldest young miss and set him on fire.

“Xin Ran!” Zhuang Zhenting came downstairs and looked at his angry daughter with a worried expression, “What’s wrong with you?”

Ever since his wife passed away, he had always held this daughter in his hands. He gave her whatever she wanted, so much so that he developed such a proud personality.

“Dad!” Zhuang Xinran ‘s expression was a little bad. He turned around and sat on the sofa. He gritted his teeth and said, “I definitely won’t let it go! Absolutely not!”

Huo Yunqi was the man she liked, and it was simply delusional for other women to want to marry him!

“Looks like you’ve already read the newspaper. Huo Yunqi is already in a huge whirlpool. Why do you still have to plunge in?” Zhuang Zhenting looked at his daughter and said worriedly, “Dad is worried about you …”

Zhuang Xinran stared at the newspaper on the table and threw it to the ground irritably. He said angrily, “It’s just a scandal! What’s the big deal?”

“What about you?” Zhuang Zhenting ‘s gaze fell on his daughter’s protruding stomach, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Hearing this, Zhuang Xinran was stunned and felt a little guilty. However, in just a few seconds, he quickly raised his face and insisted, “Of course, the child in my stomach belongs to Huo Yunqi!”

Zhuang Zhenting sighed. He had been in the mall for so many years, so why didn’t he understand his daughter’s thoughts? However, this child’s obsession was too deep!

“Huo Yunqi and Xiao Luobing’s wedding has already been scheduled. Do you want to continue?” Zhuang Zhenting couldn’t help but feel distressed when he saw his daughter’s stubborn appearance. “Xin Ran, let go! Huo Yunqi doesn’t have you in his heart, so why waste your feelings?”

According to their Huo Clan’s status in C City and their outstanding daughter, finding a husband of any kind was not an easy task. Why did they have to ask for Huo Yunqi?

Seeing Zhuang Xinran bite his lips and not speak, Zhuang Zhenting patted his daughter’s shoulder and continued, “Dad admits that Huo Yunqi is very outstanding, but no matter how outstanding he is, as long as he doesn’t have you in his heart, even if he gets married, he won’t be happy! Xinran, do you really want to bet all your happiness on it?”

“Dad!” Zhuang Xinran suddenly stood up and looked at Zhuang Zhenting with red eyes, tears falling down her cheeks. “I like Huo Yunqi! I just like him! He is the father of the child in my stomach, I must marry him! He can only marry me!”

After saying these words in one breath, Zhuang Xinran ran out without turning his head. Zhuang Zhenting sat in the living room as if he was ten years old. He muttered, “Xin Ran, Dad was worried that you would get hurt!”

The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the luxurious living room. The crystal fragments on the ground reflected the final afterglow, causing one’s heart to ache.

Zhuang Xinran drove to the Jin Hao Hotel. Seeing the rosy woman in the room, he gritted his teeth angrily and slapped her fiercely, “Bitch!”

The woman covered her face and fell to the ground unsteadily. She looked at Zhuang Xinran in disbelief and said angrily, “How could you hit someone?”

“What happened in the newspaper?” Zhuang Xinran stared at the woman on the ground and gritted her teeth. “Ji Wei, don’t tell me it’s just a coincidence!”

The woman with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and swollen cheeks was Ji Wei. She was Ji Wei who had brought the child to look for Huo Yunqi!

“I, I” Ji Wei rolled his eyes, desperately trying to make up a reasonable excuse, but unexpectedly, his thoughts had all fallen into Zhuang Xinran ‘s eyes.

“You’re not at ease waiting for the ten million I gave you!” Zhuang Xinran held her stomach and sat on the chair. She stared into Ji Wei’s eyes and gritted her teeth. “You want to marry Huo Yunqi?”
