Chapter 147: An Inadvertent Marriage Proposal
"I'm really touched by your patience with my bag these days. Especially when it comes to this, I can't imagine what I would have done without you. I originally planned to find an opportunity to explain all this to Xuan Xuan in the next few days, now that you have already recognized each other, then I don't need to bother thinking about how to speak. For a long time, Fang Ruoning, who was sitting in the man's arms, finally took a step back and said softly, but, in the end, she was thin-skinned, and when she said this, she only glanced at the man, and then lowered her head.
Huo Lingxiao looked at her rare meek and compromised appearance, and his heart was happy, but considering her temper, he didn't dare to show it too much on his face.
"So, you agreed to live here?"
"For the time being, I'll talk about it when I'm busy for a while and find a suitable house."
Huo Lingxiao snorted coldly, "I really don't know when your awkward little personality will change, do you plan to let Xuan Xuan drift with you all the time?" ”
"When the time comes, I can buy a house."
Seeing her pretending to be stupid, the indifference and disdain on the man's face became more obvious, "Then when the time comes, you will see if your son is willing to go out with you or stay here." ”
The relationship between the two is rarely eased, and Huo Lingxiao doesn't want to conflict with her again over these things.
When she wants to buy a house, he uses some means to make her unable to buy it, can't it?
The two didn't speak again, but there was a knock on the study door, and then Fang Yunxuan poked in a small head: "Dad, your mobile phone keeps ringing, I brought it to you." ”
The little guy's dad shouted very smoothly and naturally.
Fang Ruoning listened, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Thank you, baby, help Daddy bring it in." The man smiled and stretched out his hand.
Seeing that her son was coming, Fang Ruoning immediately wanted to go down, but the man didn't let go, but instead tightened his arms and whispered in her ear: "Let my son look at the happy and loving appearance of his parents is conducive to the cultivation of his sense of security and good character." ”
Fang Ruoning was uncomfortable, but he couldn't escape, so he secretly kidnapped him.
"Daddy, here you go." The little guy walked over, handed him the phone, looked around his parents, and smiled reservedly.
Huo Lingxiao saw the caller ID, and then let go, "I'll answer the phone." ”
Fang Ruoning knew that something was wrong with him, got up and took his son's hand, and the two left together.
Out of the study, Fang Ruoning squatted down, looked at her son's neatly dressed clothes, she helped to tidy them up again in vain, and then slowly spoke: "Xuanxuan, you already know that Uncle Huo is Dad." ”
"Hmm." The little boy nodded earnestly.
"Actually...... Mom took you back to China, just to find Dad, before, for various reasons, Dad couldn't live with us, and didn't even know that there was you in this world, so it's not that Dad doesn't want you, it's not that Dad doesn't love you. All of this is because your mother is not good, so you can't be with your father for several years. "My son's life experience is a big oolong, she can't explain it now, and she can't explain it in the future, so it's better to cover it up with a beautiful lie.
After all, the happiness of his son is the most important thing.
Fang Yunxuan looked at his mother and said seriously, "Mom, I don't blame you. Dad said that our family will never be separated again. ”
Fang Ruoning smiled, "Okay." ”
When he got up, his eyes were slightly moist, and at this time, he could understand Huo Lingxiao's words.
The "Dad" that came out of his son's mouth was like a heavenly sound. At his age, he has achieved fame, and the remaining marriage has not been resolved, and now he suddenly has a son who is a few years old, biological, which undoubtedly makes his life more complete, how can he not like this child?
After breakfast, Fang Ruoning changed his clothes and still had to go to the law firm.
Li Yuanyuan's case is about to be tried soon, she still has a lot of materials to prepare, and she still has to negotiate and communicate with Li Yuanyuan, even if it is a weekend, she has no time to rest.
However, the villa is located in a remote area, and there is no way to take a taxi around, Fang Ruoning had to stand in front of the man with his bag, and said a little awkwardly: "Can you arrange a car to take me to the law firm?" ”
At this time, Fang Yunxuan had already finished eating and followed the gardener to the back garden to "experience life", and there were just the two of them in the living room.
The man's eyes were taken away from the financial magazine, and the handsome face in the morning light had a charming and shallow smile, "Ask for someone something, that's the attitude?" ”
"......" the woman pursed her lips, her fingers secretly forced, "Then what do you want?" ”
President Huo said arrogantly: "Come and kiss one." ”
Fang Ruoning frowned, looked at him, and said lukewarmly: "In the morning, it was you who said that the March covenant was still valid. ”
"......" This time, it was the turn of the arrogant President Huo, secretly wondering how to guarantee it at that time! I slept last night, I did all the work, and now I have to abide by the March covenant - can't touch her?
The financial magazine was thrown aside, and the man stood up, his overly tall and slender figure suddenly gave people a sense of oppression from above, "Let's go, I'll send you." ”
Fang Ruoning was flattered, "No need, you can send someone casually, I don't want to delay your affairs." ”
The man looked back at her: "I thought you needed company today, you pushed all your work early in the morning, and now you are going out and let me stare at home?" ”
The woman muttered, "You can accompany Xuan Xuan at home." ”
"I sent you back to accompany you, and it's the same."
He took the car keys, turned around and walked out, Fang Ruoning stood in place for a few seconds and had to follow.
On the way, the man asked, "Just going to the law firm?" ”
"Hmm." In fact, I still have to meet Li Yuanyuan, but I don't want to tell him that her arms have almost recovered, and the white Audi is still parked in the garage under the office building, and she will drive there by herself when the time comes.
"Will you come back for dinner at noon?"
"Don't go back." It's nine o'clock, and when I come back for dinner, the time is delayed on the road.
Seeing that his face was solemn and he didn't speak for a while, Fang Ruoning suddenly felt guilty and added, "I'll come back early in the afternoon." ”
Huo Lingxiao turned his head and glanced at her with a smile, "I suddenly became well-behaved, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it." ”
“……”
When she arrived at CBD, Fang Ruoning politely said thank you, turned around and got out of the car, Huo Lingxiao originally wanted to say a few words to her, and even ask for goodbye
kiss, I didn't have time.
In the elevator, Fang Ruoning's mobile phone rang.
Feng Xuejing asked over there, "What are your arrangements today?" Are you free? I'll go see you. ”
"I just arrived at the unit, and I'm still in the elevator, if you have time at noon, let's have a meal together." Regarding the matter of renting a house, Fang Ruoning thought that she had to explain to her friends that she couldn't trouble her when she was troublesome with the help of others.
Miss Feng also simply, "Okay, I'll go look for you at noon." ”
On weekends, there are still fewer people in the law firm than usual, but Wei Yunche, the boss, is always there at all times.
Seeing that Fang Ruoning was also here, Wei Yunche knew that her case was about to go to trial, so she followed in to ask about the progress, but before she could speak, Fang Ruoning threw a bomb at him first.
"When I came home yesterday afternoon, I found that someone had splashed red paint on my doorstep, painted skulls, and a bunch of snakes, cats, mice, and animal carcasses thrown on the ground, which scared me to death. Fortunately, Huo Lingxiao's bodyguard was with me, and he immediately called the police to deal with it-"
"What?" Before she could finish speaking, Wei Yunche's face changed color, and his eyes were about to pop out, "Have you found out who did it?" This is also too arrogant! I now know that the person behind you is Huo Lingxiao! ”
"yes, so they just intimidated me, and didn't really do anything to me." Fang Ruoning said lightly, all those files were turned out, "Although there is no evidence that it is the families of the two defendants who are behind the scenes, but think about it, it will only be them, senior brother, I must win this case, win completely!" The more they threaten me, the more I have to stay the course! You can help me look at this information, and we can discuss how to debate this. ”
Wei Yunche's face was serious, he took the files, and found a colleague in charge of criminal cases to come over, and several people held a small meeting to discuss countermeasures.
At noon, Feng Xuejing had already arrived at the CBD before calling her. Wei Yunche had dinner with that colleague, and she didn't be polite to the two, and went over after making an appointment with a friend about the restaurant.
"Xiao Jing."
Feng Xuejing saw her sit down, stared at her seriously, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" I looked at the photos that Aunt Lin sent me, and I was nauseous for a while, and I was terrified when I slept under the quilt at night. ”
In front of his friends, Fang Ruoning didn't have to hold on, he drank his saliva and shook his head listlessly, "I had a nightmare last night, I was scared to death, and Huo Lingxiao worked hard." ”
The nerves relaxed, and she said whatever she wanted in her heart, Feng Xuejing heard this, and her eyebrows and eyes were ambiguously provoked, "It seems that this accident has made your relationship a lot closer." ”
Uh-
Fang Ruoning froze for a moment, subconsciously wanted to refute, but paused and didn't speak.
"He and Xuan Xuan have already recognized each other father and son."
"Really?" Feng Xuejing was taken aback, "This action is fast enough!" As soon as he took the two of you over, father and son recognized each other, it seems that he is not going to let go? ”
"Hey......" Fang Ruoning let out a long sigh, "I don't know what to do, anyway, one step at a time, no matter what his attitude is towards me, his love for Xuan Xuan is sincere, seeing Xuan Xuan so happy, I can't bear to obstruct it anymore." ”
"Oops! You should have been like this a long time ago! It's better to be nice to someone than to be a father and a mother yourself! Moreover, don't people play a role at critical times? ”
Fang Ruoning glanced at him, "How much benefit do you take from others?" Help him talk all day long. ”
Miss Feng gave her a roll of her eyes, "Why don't you know the hearts of good people!" I'm not thinking about you, seeing that you have been too hard over the years, now it's hard to have someone who is good to you, and the conditions of others are also one in a million, I'm afraid that you will miss happiness awkwardly! ”
"Okay, thank you Miss Feng for your concern, I'll invite you for this meal today, so don't rob me." Of course, Fang Ruoning knew that his friend cared about him, so he agreed with a smile, and said, "I called Aunt Lin yesterday, and she said to pay three months' rent as compensation, and I also agreed, and I will go over and move things out when I find a time." ”
"Well, Aunt Lin told me, that's it, you will follow Huo Lingxiao in the future, and you don't need to rent a house outside."
Fang Ruoning pursed his lips and didn't speak.
In the afternoon, she went to the client Li Yuanyuan again and told her about the trial.
At more than three o'clock, the mobile phone rang, she saw that it was Huo Lingxiao's call, hung up without hesitation, and continued to explain the matter to Li Yuanyuan.
But soon, the phone rang again.
"Hey, I'm working, what's the matter with you?"
Over there, Huo Lingxiao, who was accompanying his son and nephew, asked dissatisfiedly, "What about coming back early in the afternoon?" It's past three o'clock. ”
"......" was speechless, Fang Ruoning had to explain in a low voice, "There is still something to do, and it will be dealt with soon." ”
"Then when you come back, I guess it's time for dinner."
Fang Ruoning said angrily: "Who let you live so far away?" Time was lost on the road. ”
The words fell, and without waiting for the man to speak, he hung up the phone decisively, and the phone was turned to silent.
After explaining everything to Li Yuanyuan, Fang Ruoning asked worriedly: "Nothing has happened to your family in the past few days, right?" ”
The young girl shook her head slowly, "No...... It's my parents, who are so scared every day, that they are worried about retaliation or something. ”
Fang Ruoning sighed in her heart, only feeling sarcastic.
When did the world turn black and white upside down? The person who did the wrong thing is justified, but the victim is trembling and does not dare to speak out.
"What about five million?"
"Five million...... I asked my parents to donate it, and I went with them, and I made sure I did. The girl said softly and softly.
"Where's the donation voucher?"
Li Yuanyuan took out the relevant certificates from her bag and handed them all to her, "It's all here." ”
"Okay." Fang Ruoning took it and looked at it, no problem, "I'll take this first, it's useful." ”
"Hmm."
Put away the things, Fang Ruoning smiled, patted her lightly and comforted: "Let's do this for the time being, you don't have to worry, I will seek justice for you." ”
"Well, thank you, Lawyer Fang."
It was almost five o'clock when I drove back to Huo Lingxiao's single-family villa from the city. Getting out of the car and looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Ruoning's mouth was half open in surprise, thinking that he was in the wrong place.
In just half a day, there was actually a children's paradise in the courtyard, and two children drilled around in it, chasing and fighting.
"Mom!" Seeing that Fang Ruoning was back, Fang Yunxuan immediately rushed down the slide and ran towards her.
The other child is undoubtedly Huo Ziqian.
"Hello Auntie!"
"This is your aunt, what is your aunt's name!" A person walked out of the villa and reprimanded in a cold and majestic voice.
Huo Ziqian, who was full of laughter, stiffened his face, and immediately changed his words, "Auntie!" ”
Fang Ruoning: "......"
Aunt Mei came over and wiped the sweat of the two children, "The clothes are all sweaty, the two young masters hurry up and take a hot bath, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Fang Yunxuan looked at his parents: "Mom, I'll go take a shower and change clothes first." ”
"Good!" waved his hand to his son, and when he ran away, Fang Ruoning's eyes fell on the man's face, frowning slightly, "In front of the child, you don't want to be like this." ”
"How?"
"What aunt, we don't have that relationship at all."
The man raised his eyebrows, "Then find a time to register your marriage, if you want a wedding, I can also accompany you to toss." ”
Fang Ruoning's heart fluttered and looked at him again.
The winter sunset is yellow, and with the falling sun, the warmth is also taken away, she looks at the man's side face that is smudged by the sunset, his facial features are more profound, his eyes are darker and darker, and in the bottom of her heart, she is inexplicably hot.
"Are you serious?" Her heart trembled a little, and she asked softly.
Huo Lingxiao knew that she didn't believe it, so he took a step further and smiled at her: "My son also admits it, my son's mother, of course I have to give a name." ”
When the words fell, the man's hand couldn't help but raise and stroke her blood-red ears that were reflected by the setting sun.
Slightly cool, soft and slippery in his hand, he couldn't help but move, and said: "Become Mrs. Huo, you can do whatever you want in the future, no one dares to embarrass you, no matter how much mess you have, your husband will help you clean it up, huh?" ”
The heartbeat became more and more flustered, and the woman raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes swaying with shallow waves, and she was a little moved.
But in the end, she refused.
"I haven't figured it out yet."
The man shrugged his shoulders, took a long breath of relief, and withdrew the big palm that kneaded her ear, and copied it into the pocket of his trousers, "It's cold outside, let's go into the house." ”
He turned around and left, his back was handsome and cold, alienated and indifferent, as if the person who "proposed" to her just now was not him.
The woman stood in place, her beautiful apricot eyes narrowed slightly, looked at his back, sighed leisurely, and followed.
After dinner, Li Quan wanted to send Huo Ziqian back to his old house, but the little guy refused to live or die.
"Ziqian, you still have to go to kindergarten tomorrow." The little guy's most feared uncle said coldly.
Huo Ziqian was bold and coquettish: "Uncle, you can call grandma and ask Uncle Zhang to send my schoolbag to kindergarten tomorrow." ”
Uncle Zhang is the driver of the old house.
This kid has a flexible head!
"Uncle, I want to sleep with Brother Yunxuan."
On the sofa on the other side, Fang Yunxuan returned to his cold and deep depth, looked at the extremely clingy "younger brother", and frowned little brows obviously unwillingly.
But Huo Lingxiao suddenly thought of something, and his thin lips hooked up a smile: "Okay, I'll call grandma." ”
"Yay!" The little guy was very excited, and ran to Fang Yunxuan again, "Brother Yunxuan, let's go to your room to play!" Your room is so cool! I'm going to ask my dad to get me the exact same!" Oh no...... Either I'll move here in the future, anyway, your bed is so big, we're both children, and we can sleep ......"
Fang Yunxuan was dragged upstairs by his cousin who was full of brute strength, and his ears were poisoned along the way.
Downstairs, Huo Lingxiao and Fang Ruoning looked at the two brothers who had gone away, one smiling faintly and the other contemplative.
"Are you serious?"
"What do you mean?"
"This kid lives here?"
The man raised his eyebrows and asked slowly, "What's wrong?" You don't want to? As the future hostess, if you don't want to, I'll let him go back. ”
Fang Ruoning glared at him, didn't bother to pay attention, and turned to go upstairs.
Where she is qualified to decide who people want to stay, she is still a lodging person.
Besides, she also felt relieved to see that her son had a companion, and hoped that Huo Ziqian's liveliness and cheerfulness could infect her son a little.
