After Lin Xi finished asking, Huo Yunsi's body stiffened. He remained silent for a very long time.
Little Lin Xi seemed to have sensed something. The little one stretched out his chubby hand and hugged his father tightly, saying in a baby voice, "Daddy, don't be afraid."
Huo Yunsi chuckled lightly.
Laughter shook them, Lin Xi giggled and wriggled her little body, but she never let go of his hand.
Children may not understand everything, but they know that their father loves them.
Linxi also likes Daddy!
After a long while, Huo Yunsi's voice was low and hoarse: "Damn boy, you scared me to death!"
Lin Xi hugged even tighter, her whole small body leaning on her father's shoulder. Although she was the one who had just escaped danger, at this moment she comforted the adult: "Dad, don't be afraid, Lin Xi will protect you."
Saying that, he took a water pistol and squirted Cis Wenxiong.
A few steps away, Anran watched the father and son in the darkness, tears welling up in her eyes.
Si Wenxiong, like a defeated rooster, walked up to Anran and said in a heavy voice, "You really don't want to go back to the Si family? As long as you go back, everything in the Si family belongs to you."
At peace, finally free.
She stood in the night wind, gazing at the man before her who was already old, and said coldly, "Perhaps my mother also listened to your sweet words back then. What kind of ending did she have? Si Wenxiong, there will never be peace between you and me. I don't want what you have, nor can I afford it!"
Si Wenxiong looked at her deeply.
In the end, he left Si Wenli to clean up the mess and drove away first. As he sat in the car, he thought about An Ran's indifference and Lin Xi's hostility. He didn't understand how this could happen. He, Si Wenxiong, had power and influence. Besides, An Ran shouldn't be as innocent and kind as her mother, right?
His mother loved him so dearly, yet An Ran didn't feel the slightest affection for her!
Si Wenxiong was utterly disappointed.
……
Left with a simple tidy of the room, Li Jianhui looked back.
Little Lin Xi is already in An Ran's embrace, crying... An Ran leans against his little face and keeps touching the little guy's back.
Sir Wenli's feelings toward the Huo family were different.
He let out a soft sigh and said to Huo Yunsi, "I'm sorry about today's events. My older brother was just desperate for a cure."
Ho Yunsi didn't buy it.
He spoke in a glacial tone: “Is the Si family so desperate that they would steal another child to ensure their lineage?”
Si Wenli touched his nose.
Huoyunshi now didn't want to deal with him. Anran and Línxī had both been frightened, and he just wanted to take them away.
He walked up to Anran.
Anran was still holding Xia Linxi, who was lying on her mother's body, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at his father. Huo Yuns thought stroked his little head and spoke softly, "Let's go home!"
Anran lightly pursed her lips.
Limxi suddenly hugged her neck tightly, the little guy was so fragile, trembling and whimpering: "I'm afraid there will be more bad guys!"
The one upstairs is so dark, it's scary.
Anran soothed for a long time, but failed to calm the person down.
At last, Huo Yunsi brought the little one over. He looked at An Ran with a slightly deeper gaze, "Come to me."
An Ran wanted to ask where they were going.
But she also felt that it seemed like asking a redundant question.
She looked at Lin Xi, the little guy clinging to his father's embrace so dependently, like a docile kitten. Her heart softened instantly, and she mimicked Huo Yunsi's action by gently patting the little one.
Huo Yuns thought handed her the car keys, "Can you drive?"
"I'm fine!"
As she finished speaking, she casually raised her eyes and saw his.
In the dead of night, looking at him like this, An Ran felt as if Huo Yunsi had touched her soul. The trembling was unlike anything a physical touch could compare to, and it was the most intense she had ever felt since knowing him.
This glance, it seemed like a thousand years passed...
She seemed a little lost in thought, and finally it was Huo Yunsi who gently patted her shoulder, his voice hoarse, “Let’s go!”
A family of three walked side by side, their shadows stretching long and thin.
Behind him, Si Wenli stood quietly. He looked at the couple and their adorable child, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart - envy and longing...
He saw how Yunsi defended Anran, and he once liked someone in the same way, but he didn't have the courage to fight for her. At the time, he felt he wasn't loving enough, but after decades had passed, he realized... he wasn't being selfless, he was simply missing out.
Si Wenli reached into his pocket for a cigarette, but came up empty. Only then did he remember that he had promised his wife to quit smoking. He smiled wryly and slowly walked towards the car...

Over there, Huo Yunsi opened the car door and sat in the back seat with Lin Xi in his arms.
That's the Bentley.
Anran got into the car, but still uneasy, she turned her body sideways. She saw Xiao Linxi nestled peacefully in her father's arms, breathing quietly, her expression gentle unconsciously.
Huoyunsi was also looking at her.
He said, "Let's get an apartment near the company!"
<<>>
After about 20 minutes, the car stopped under Daxia Building. An Ran got out of the car and followed Huo Yunsi... The little guy was playing with a small water gun in his father's arms, but it was obvious that he was very tired and sleepy.
He stroked his face gently.
Lin Xi opened her eyes a little and softly called out for her mother. An Ran took off her jacket and draped it over him, saying softly, "Go to sleep!"
Huo Yunsi kept staring at her. A man and a woman alone, with only their child together.
Anran felt a little awkward.
Huo Yunsi smiled gently, and then he suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on Anran's nape, stroking her like a kitten...
Anran's body trembled.
She wanted to dodge, but her body pressed against the elevator wall offered no escape. The warm palm touching her skin made her pores feel like they were about to explode... just like being killed by a blunt knife.
Finally, she couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
Soft and tender...
Huoyuns thought stared at her, his eyes were unfathomably deep.
With a jolt, the elevator reached the top floor. Anran averted her face, feeling heat rising on her cheeks that was almost unbearable, as if she were about to boil over.
Huo Yunsi just retracted his hand and walked out, holding Lin Xi.

Swipe the door open, turn on the lights, and the room is warm and bright.

Lin Xi slept drowsily, opened her eyes, then hugged Huo Yunsi's neck: "This place is so big!"
Huo Yuns thought smiled.
He looked at Anran and asked her lightly, "What do you think? Do you think it's big or not?"
An Ran turned away.
Huo Yunsi patted her: "Go boil some hot water. I'll take Linxi to sleep."
Anran didn't have time to dwell on these things. She nodded and went to the kitchen.
Huoyunsi walked into the master bedroom with her son in her arms. The big bed inside was enormous... Linxi lay on it like a small, weak animal.
Ho Yun-si rarely takes care of children, but he is quite skilled at it.
He took off the little one's shoes and coat, then held him close and soothed him for a long time. Lin Xi leaned against his arms and slowly fell asleep... His little face turned from white to pale pink, looking healthy and cute.
Huo Yunsi looked at him for a moment, carefully put him into the quilt, and still couldn't help but kiss him again.
An ran boiled water, poured a cup and let it cool, then carried it into the bedroom.
"Asleep?"
She looked at Lin Xi's sleeping face, her voice soft...
Huo Yuns thought for a moment.
He reached out and pulled Anran into his embrace. She sat nestled in his arms, inhaling his scent... He must have had an engagement, as he smelled faintly of wine, mixed with a masculine body odor that was quite pleasant.
Anran wanted to struggle, but she only moved slightly.
Huoyuns thought held her slender waist.
His voice was low and husky: "It's alright!"
Anran suddenly trembled. It wasn't that she was afraid, she was just suppressing... If it weren't for Huo Yunsi's early return, she and Linxi could have really been taken abroad by Si Wenxiong, then imprisoned and unable to return.
"Huoyunsi…" She looked up, not knowing what to say.
Huoyuns thought for a moment but said nothing.
He just kept staring at her. For a long time, his hand on her waist tightened and he lifted her up, carrying her to the bathroom... They'd been in there before, but this time was different. There was a new urgency, a desire to possess each other they had never felt before.
The moment their hands touched, they both instinctively hummed.
Gazing, kissing…
An Ran hugged him tightly, she looked up and kissed his handsome jaw, mesmerized by the surrender that stirred in him because of her. In this moment, she thought, she would never regret it.
Passion comes fast and goes fast.
Huò Yünsī only came twice and then let her go, but he didn't loosen his grip, instead holding her tightly.
He lay in bed with her, hands clasped, gazing at their little crystal.
That little crystal, even in his sleep, he's still clutching his little water gun.
Sometimes accidentally pressed it, with a hiss, water came out...
