After hearing these words, Catherine immediately turned around and looked at the person behind her.
Xu Yunhe stood at the door, his shadow stretched long by the light.
Catherine held up the hair by her ears. She didn't want her embarrassment to be exposed, so she said softly: "He doesn't agree, but I'm lucky today. At least I got a closer look and talked to him."
At this point, a smile spread across her lips.
The smile on her lips, in Xu Yunhe's opinion, contained a bit of bitterness.
He told her very sensibly: "He has loved Huo Yi very much in the past few years. After all, he is his only son, even if the way this child was born is a bit special."
In the past four years, this was also the first time Xu Yunhe mentioned anything about Huo Yi to her.
After hearing this, Catherine could only remain silent.
Xu Yunhe walked to her side and gently pressed his hand on her shoulder: "He is doing well. It is enough for you to know this."
Catherine was also thinking this in her heart, and he told herself this countless times late at night.
But what about reality? Every night, she could hear a child crying for his mother.
No one understood how she felt, and she thought she could be free and easy when facing Huo Yi.
But after so many years, it is obvious that this is not the case.
She tried her best to hide the fatigue in her eyes, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Yeah, okay."
Xu Yunhe looked at her face for a long time, then stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms.
His movements were quite forceful and possessive.
Catherine didn't expect this move at all. Her face hit his shoulder, and her whole body stiffened.
"Although I really don't want you to meet the people and things of the past again, because the current Catherine was transformed by me, Xu Yunhe. I spent four years pouring all my hard work. She is now confident, beautiful, and unparalleled. It can’t be compared, but I still want to say that I am willing to fulfill your longing for this child until you see him in a real sense."
Catherine's stiff body began to soften little by little after hearing his words.
She pressed her face against his chest, showing no resistance, only compliance.
Yes, if she stood in the abyss four years ago, in the past four years, he had broken her out of the abyss bit by bit.
Catherine now belonged to him.
He is her benefactor and teacher.
…
On the way back, Huo Yi seemed to have a hundred thousand reasons hidden in her stomach.
He is now six years old and quite heavy. When the nursery sister-in-law is not around, Ke Weiyi cannot hold him.
So Huo Yi, who was supposed to be in Ke Weiyi's hands, turned back to Huo Shaoting.
The weather is quite cold today, and Huo Shaoting's hands are protecting Huo Yi's neck to prevent the cold wind from pouring into his collar.
Huo Yi acted like a question machine on Huo Shaoting: "Dad, where is that sister going?"
"Dad? Then my sister remembers me."
"Dad, that sister is so beautiful, so beautiful."
"Dad, why don't you let me take care of that sister?"
"Dad, I seem to have seen that sister."
Huo Yi asked a long list of questions, but Huo Shaoting didn't answer his questions. He just held him and walked down the corridor of the orphanage.
But when Huo Yi said the last sentence, he stopped and looked at Huo Yi.
"That time in the hotel?"
Huo Yi shook her head like a rattle: "No, it was a dream. I saw her in a dream. She kept crying and said she missed me so much. She was so pitiful."
Huo Shaoting didn't know if there was such a thing as a mother and son connecting in this world.
How could he dream of someone he had never seen since he could remember.
Huo Shaoting stopped Huo Yi's nonsense with one sentence: "Don't talk nonsense to me."
Huo Yi held her mouth in frustration, but soon she rubbed her father's shoulder again.
Seeing his actions, Huo Shaoting put his hand on his head.
Ke Weiyi is still unclear about all this, so she can only leave with him. After getting to the car, Ke Weiyi took the initiative to apologize: "Brother Shao Ting, I'm sorry, what happened today is my fault. I just left without your consent." Huo Yi brought this kind of place."
Ke Weiyi sat next to him, feeling very uneasy.
At this time, Huo Yi had already fallen asleep in Huo Shaoting's arms. His eyes were all on Huo Yi, and his hand was covering Huo Yi with a blanket. He didn't even look at the person next to him. He only said: "I hope I won't do it again in the future." Things like this happen.”
Ke Weiyi knew the weight of his words, and her heart sank slightly. She said softly for a long time: "I know, never again."
Ke Weiyi is Huo Yi's teacher invited by the Huo family. He has been by Huo Yi's side since she was three years old.
Huo Yi is now five and a half years old, eating the food of a six-year-old. His growth and memory, and the young women closest to him, all have the presence of Ke Wei.
So Ke Weiyi is now considered an important figure in the Huo family.
At least for Huo Yi, it's important enough.
Huo Shaoting was very indifferent to Ke Weiyi. He only said yes and ended the conversation.
Ke Weiyi's lips pursed slightly.
After the car arrived at Huo's house, Mrs. Huo still came to greet Huo Yi from a distance.
"My baby is back. I miss my wife so much."
Huo Yi was in Huo Shaoting's arms. He had just woken up and looked dazed. When he saw his grandma, he shouted in a trembling voice: "Grandma~"
The old lady's heart melted completely, and she hugged Huo Yiren into her arms.
Of course Huo Shaoting didn't let go. The old lady was old, so she could only give her a symbolic hug.
"My baby, Grandma has been thinking of you since you went out. Next time you go out, please don't fail to say hello, do you understand?"
Ke Weiyi stood aside, listening to the old lady's words, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable. Over the years, Ke Weiyi was very unpopular with the old lady in the Huo family. No matter how devoted she was to Huo Yi, the old lady always had a soft spot for her. Stereotypes in general.
She knew what happened today was her fault, so she quickly apologized: "Grandma, I'm sorry. I will definitely pay attention to Huo Yi's side next time."
The old lady glanced at her, but did not say anything to Ke Weiyi. Instead, she looked at Huo Shaoting: "Huo Yi is not something that just any outsider can take away. I don't want to end up in the hands of unscrupulous traffickers one day." Come on, look for the kids."
Ke Weiyi's face turned pale instantly, she lowered her face and said nothing.
Huo Shaoting's face was calm and calm, as if he didn't hear the insinuations in the old lady's words. He only replied lightly: "Well, the bodyguard will not be let go. You don't have to worry about him too much."
Huo Yi was sweet-mouthed and immediately acted coquettishly: "Grandma, I miss you so much."
The old lady beamed for a moment.
The nanny came out to pick up Huo Yi and carried Huo Yi into the hall. Huo Shaoting also warned: "Don't let him take off the blanket from his body."
The nanny replied: "Okay, Mr. Huo."
A group of people entered the hall, and Ke Weiyi followed Huo Shaoting. The distance between the two was a bit too ambiguous.
The old lady glanced at him and disliked Kevey even more.
