Chapter 56 Eavesdropper
Outside the window, snowflakes fluttered, the north wind whistled, but inside the room was a room of spring light, the two people on the sofa were deeply romantic.
When Xia Luobing woke up, her entire body was aching. Thinking about what happened last night, her cheeks flushed red. Looking around, she realized that the place where she lay was not the sofa but the big bed in the bedroom. Without Huo Yunqi, half of the bed was cold.
“Huo Yunqi?” Xia Luobing lifted the blanket, put on her pajamas, and pushed open the bedroom door. Seeing that the light was still on in the study, she frowned and walked over. Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard Yunqi talking on the phone. She was curious. She withdrew her hand and stood outside the door to eavesdrop.
Huo Yunqi said coldly, “When the car exploded, Ji Wei did not escape. Investigate carefully what happened!”
“Since they want to play, let’s have a good time with them!” Huo Yunqi’s tone softened slightly after hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said.
Xia Luo Bing frowned, her hand trembling as she reached the door to make a soft sound, alarming Huo Yunqi in the study. The man pulled the door open and faced Xia Luo’s ice-black jade-like eyes, and her frantic heart instantly calmed down.
“I didn’t mean to listen to you on the phone!” Xia Luobing felt extremely embarra.s.sed. He felt as if he was a eavesdropper who had been caught. He was extremely dishonest.
In fact, she was indeed an eavesdropper
Huo Yunqi frowned and stared at Xia Luobing. Finally, with a dark face, he picked her up horizontally and reprimanded her, “Why did you run out barefoot? Your leg hurts again!”
Because she had been training in cold water before, when the weather was cold, Xiao Luobing’s feet would be cold, and even Xiao Tui would feel pain.
Xia Luobing was hugged by Huo Yunqi. Listening to the man’s heartbeat, she thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you in trouble?”
And who’s Ji Wei?
Huo Yunqi put the person on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered it. He looked into Xiao Luobing’s eyes and said in a serious tone, “Bing Bing, do you believe me?”
“Yes.” Xia Luobing nodded seriously. He was her closest person, so she naturally had to believe him.
Huo Yunqi lowered her head and sealed Xiao Luobing’s lips, “Then don’t ask anything!”
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded happily, “As long as you don’t get me an old lover or a few-year-old son, everything else will be fine!”
Huo Yunqi frowned and coincidentally landed in Xia Luobing’s eyes. The woman raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, “Don’t tell me that you really have an old lover. Your son knows how to make soy sauce?”
“No!” Huo Yunqi swore an oath and reached out to pinch Xiao Luobing’s nose. A bad smile appeared on her face. “Even if we have a son, we are still the two of us!”
Xia Luobing was embarra.s.sed and annoyed. She raised her foot to kick Huo Yunqi and scolded, “It’s midnight. Go to bed!”
“Alright!”
The north wind whistled, and Xia Luobing was nest in Huo Yunqi’s embrace. Her heart was very secure, and she soon fell asleep peacefully, with a faint smile on her lips.
Huo Yunqi, who should have fallen asleep a long time ago, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned as he looked at Xia Luobing’s slightly raised lips. If Bing Bing really knew about that, would she still believe him?
As the New Year approached, Huo Zhengxiong flew back from an American sanatorium. He was very surprised to see Zhuang Xinran at home. He was even more surprised to hear Liu Yan say that Zhuang Xinran already had a grandson in her belly. After losing her temper with Liu Yan, she could only acquiesce to her actions.
After all, Zhuang Xinran had his grandson in his stomach, so he couldn’t really drive him out.
“Where’s that girl Yunxi?” When Huo Zhengxiong returned home, he didn’t see his daughter. He looked at Liu Yan and said, “It’s getting dark, so I’m not coming back yet.”
Liu Yan was extremely embarra.s.sed. Recently, all of her attention had been on the child in Zhuang Xinran’s stomach. She had been dreaming about how Zhuang Xinran would replace Xia Luobing, almost forgetting that she had a daughter.
“Uncle, Yun Xi and Luo Bing have a good relationship. She went to live with Luo Bing.” Zhuang Xinran helped Liu Yan out of the encirclement in time. “Yunxi listens to Luo Bing’s words more.”
Zhuang Xinran did not forget to provoke the relationship between her and Xia Luobing when she was relieving Liu Yan.
Actually, even if she didn’t say that, Liu Yan was already extremely tired of Xia Luobing. “I don’t know what tricks Xia Luobing used. Yun Qi and Yun Xi were so enthralled by her!”
Huo Zhengxiong frowned and coughed. He looked at the two of them and said exhaustively, “Call Yunqi and Yunxi to come back. Luo Bing, too!”
“Why did you send that jinx over?” Liu Yan shouted angrily, “It’s so annoying to watch!”
Huo Zhengxiong naturally knew what Liu Yan was thinking, but if Xia Luobing didn’t come over, how could his son return?
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengxiong frowned and went upstairs with his walking stick. His voice was old, “Forget it, I’ll still make this call!”
Zhuang Xinran lowered her head. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness. However, when she thought of seeing Huo Yunqi, her heart was filled with antic.i.p.ation. It had been almost a month since she had seen him!
“Auntie, don’t be angry. Uncle is not well, let’s follow him.” Zhuang Xinran comforted her warmly and said with a sensible expression, “If it’s inconvenient for me to stay here, I’ll go home for a while. You guys can have a good reunion dinner!”
Now that Liu Yan was a strong supporter of her in the Huo Clan, she had to placate her opponent so that she could achieve her goal of stationing herself in the Huo Clan as soon as possible.
“You stupid child!” Liu Yan felt that Zhuang Xinran was too suitable for her. She held her hand firmly and said, “If you’re not going anywhere, just stay here. I want to see how much more waves that Xia Luobing can create!”
When they received the call, Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi were preparing to go out.
“What’s the matter?” Xia Luobing took Yunqi’s coat and looked at the strange expression on the man’s face. He asked doubtfully, “Whose phone is it?”
“Father is back. Let’s go back to eat!” Huo Yunqi looked at Xia Luobing and said after a moment of silence, “I’ll let you go as well!”
Xia Luobing nodded and said, “I should go!”
When the two of them drove to the Huo Clan’s old mansion, they met Huo Yunxi who had been summoned at the door. The three of them greeted each other and walked in laughingly. Feng Shuo was already one step ahead of them. He was sitting in the living room and talking to the old man. Zhuang Xinran was also there.
“Dad, Yunxi missed you so much!” Huo Yunxi pounced over and wrapped his hands around Huo Zhengxiong ‘s neck. Seeing that his father was much more haggard, his eyes were sour and he choked with sobs, “Is your body well?”
Huo Zhengxiong naturally liked Yun Xi, the only daughter of his two sons. He raised his hand and patted his daughter’s head, reproaching her, “I thought you didn’t want this family anymore!”
Huo Yunxi sat down next to Huo Zhengxiong and greeted Feng Shuo , “Second brother.”
Because of the subtle relationship between Huo Yunqi, Feng Shuo, and Xia Luobing, as well as Liu Yan’s cold att.i.tude towards Feng Shuo, Feng Shuo was an awkward existence in this family. If the old man hadn’t called directly, he wouldn’t have appeared at today’s table.
However, Huo Yunxi did not think too much. No matter what, Feng Shuo was still her father’s son, so he was naturally her second brother.
Feng Shuo smiled warmly, “Yunxi, you’re getting more and more beautiful.”
Yunxi blinked his eyes and nodded in agreement. Seeing Liu Yan carrying the medicine downstairs, he laughed dryly twice and said embarra.s.sedly, “Mom.”
“You still know about this family?” Liu Yan glared at Huo Yunxi . However, she was a treasure that had grown up in her hands. She did not say anything else about preparation. She turned around and handed the medicine to Huo Zhengxiong . “The doctor said that the medicine was taken before meals. The temperature of the water is just right.”
Huo Yunqi held Xia Luobing’s hand and sat opposite Huo Zhengxiong . Seeing the old man holding a handful of medicine in his trembling hand, he frowned and said, “Dad, what did the doctor say? Why are you taking so many medicine?”
Huo Zhengxiong put the medicine in his hand into his mouth and sent it down with water. He coughed a few times, “You have to take medicine when you’re old!”
“All of you, save your father some dim sum. He can live a few more years!” Liu Yan glared at Xia Luobing’s direction and said angrily, “Don’t make trouble all day long!”
Before coming here, Xia Luobing had already made sufficient psychological preparations. Therefore, she did not refute Liu Yan’s words. Instead, she had a faint smile on her lips. She was intoxicated by what she said, and it was said that two sentences did not grow flesh!
Huo Yunqi held Xia Luobing’s hand under the table and carefully stroked the woman’s palm with his fingertips. His movements were gentle and gentle, like an incomparably precious kiss.
He knew how hot-tempered Xiao Luobing was, and he knew very well that she was a woman who could not rub the sand in her eyes. Now that she had endured it for him, it was a lie to say that she did not feel heartache.
Sensing Huo Yunqi’s emotions, Xiao Luobing bent her finger and responded, her heart warming.
Zhuang Xinran did not know what the two of them were doing under the table, but she could clearly see the eye contact between Huo Yunqi and Xiao Luobing. Envy and unwillingness burst out from her heart like boiling water, burning every inch of her skin.
“Xin Ran, why is your expression so bad? Do you want to go upstairs and rest?” Liu Yan nervously looked at Zhuang Xinran and spoke with concern. At the same time, she did not forget to give Xia Luobing a big white eye. She used her eyes to warn her that Zhuang Xinran was the eldest grandson of the Huo Clan. If she was smart, she would quickly give up the position of the Huo Clan’s Young Madam.
Xia Luobing felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she could only tell herself over and over again not to punish herself and Huo Yunqi with other people’s mistakes! As long as she and he were fine, everything else would be a floating cloud.
“No need, Auntie!” Zhuang Xinran forced a smile at Liu Yan, “I’m fine, you don’t need to be nervous.”
Liu Yan was worried that she would encounter an accident. She was almost not allowed to go out alone. Moreover, Huo Yunqi rarely came back. Now that she rarely saw someone she missed so much, how could she be willing to leave?
Seeing Zhuang Xinran insisting, Liu Yan could not say anything. She only brought a light soup to Zhuang Xinran and said, “This is the best for pregnant women. Try it and see if you like it or not!”
Zhuang Xinran smiled obediently, “Thank you, Auntie.”
“Pa!” The spoon in Xiao Luobing’s hand fell into the bowl and made a crisp sound, attracting everyone’s attention.
