Chapter 161 A competent stepmother

Huo Family.

Chen Xi and the others played for an entire day, and by the time Huo Yi Heng returned home, he was already fast asleep. Even though his arms were sore, he was still happy.

Chen Xi smiled as she took a step forward and opened the door herself.

As soon as the three of them entered the room, a servant came to welcome them. The butler stood respectfully by the side and greeted them, "Madam, welcome home."

The butler was an old man from Huo Family. Chen Xi felt that he had to think about it and nodded at the butler with a smile.

"Auntie, let the servant bring Yi Heng up to bed. I'll make you a cup of tea so that you can rest first." Chen Xi worked hard to play the role of a good daughter-in-law, a good stepmother.

In fact, Li Ai Lin was enjoying it quite a bit as she nodded with a face full of smiles.

As a woman, what she wished for the most was harmony in the family, home, and everything else, Li Ai Lin's starting point was the same.

When Chen Xi entered the kitchen, the servant had already brewed tea, but she insisted on brewing the tea she brought along and personally brought out two cups.

"Auntie, my mom said your stomach isn't very good. I wanted to drink black tea to nourish your stomach, so I bought you some good black tea." Chen Xi said as he placed a cup of tea in front of Li Ai Lin: "Please have a taste."

"Good, good, good." Li Ai Lin said three times in a row, took the teacup from Chen Xi's hands, and took a sip, nodding: "Indeed not bad, it's hard to say that you're so considerate, after you marry in, I won't need to worry about Jing Yan and Yi Heng anymore, you'll definitely be able to take good care of them."

She held a teacup, her every move showing elegance and ease, feeling that she had found the right wife, Chen Xi was even more happy now, for the sake of marrying into the Huo Family, she was really going all out.

Although she was happy, she did her best to suppress the excitement in her heart and did not lose her composure. "Auntie, although I can take care of your words, I still need your careful guidance."

Chen Xi had always been absent-minded, so she wanted to go look for Huo Jing Yan the most. After all, they were about to get engaged soon, and there was still no teamwork between them.

At this time, a servant came down from upstairs and said to another servant: "Make a cup of coffee and bring it up to the young master."

Young Master? When Chen Xi heard this, she was overjoyed. Huo Jing Yan was already home?

She put down the teacup and looked at the servant. "Is Mr. Howe home?"

"Huh?" The servant was startled, when he saw Chen Xi, he immediately nodded: "Mr. Howe has been in the room since long time ago?

Room? Then would he have minded in the past? After all, it was a private territory.

Chen Xi was still hesitating, but Li Ai Lin was the first to speak: "Tell him, when the child is asleep, let him go take a look, she is a father after all."

Li Ai Lin's words contained a hint of complaint, but after hearing these words, the knot in Chen Xi's heart became clear, and she laughed: "Auntie, Jing Yan must be very tired after being in class for a day, let him rest well, I'll go over to see Yi Heng."

"You, ah, always wanted to protect him, but luckily Yi Heng likes you a lot too, so you should go over and take a look." Li Ai Lin said somewhat dotingly, and told the servant: "I also want to tell Young Master what I just said, do you understand?"

These words truly made Chen Xi elated, she impatiently stood up: "Yes, I'll go over right now."

Chen Xi felt that Li Ai Lin was just like the Old Buddha in front of her.

She had originally wanted to go and see Huo Jing Yan directly, but now that she thought about it, since he was going to see the child later, she would first go over and act like a loving mother to take care of him.

To her, this was much better than directly offending Huo Jing Yan, as it also made others feel that she would become a good stepmother in the future.

Speaking of which, the Chen family's power was not small either, it was a piece of cake for Chen Xi to choose a good husband, but all these years, she had only loved Huo Jing Yan, and now that she was engaged, she could go out even more.

As long as it could please Huo Jing Yan, she could do anything to make him happy.

This was the second time Chen Xi had come to this place. The first time was when Li Ai Lin had brought him here.

But this time, when she came to this relatively private place that belonged to Huo Jing Yan, she felt very excited in her heart. It was as if she had suddenly merged into Huo Jing Yan's life, as if she herself had already become the young mistress of the Huo Family.

When he walked into Huo Yi Heng's room, he was still sound asleep. Even when the servant took off his clothes, he did not wake Huo Yi Heng.

Such a cute child, anyone would like him, right?

Chen Xi walked over with light footsteps, and said with a smile: "Go out, I'll take care of the child."

The servant didn't say anything, he was the future stepmother.

The child slept soundly. When Huo Jing Yan walked in gently, he had just covered the child with his blanket.

Even so, he still didn't have a good expression on his face.

When Chen Xi reacted, her pair of long legs was already by the side of the bed. She hurriedly stood up, it was obvious that she did it on purpose, but her expression was extremely innocent and surprised: "Jing Yan, are you home?"

Huo Jing Yan did not reply, and did not even spare her a glance. He only looked at Huo Yi Heng, who was sleeping like a pig on the bed, and his vision blurred for a bit.

Heh, he really did resemble that woman! They all slept in the same posture.

On the other hand, Chen Xi had sharp eyes, upon seeing him, she thought that he was in a good mood. She then pouted, "Today, I went out with aunty to play with Yi Heng, and he was so happy that she fell asleep on the way back."

She used her own method to get Huo Jing Yan to pay attention to her, but she only received a casual comment, "Mhm."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out, leaving Chen Xi alone at the side of the bed, at a loss of what to do.

Didn't he laugh? Why was he so cold?

She had abandoned her own matters to play with the child for the entire day and had even taken care of the child with such gentleness and care. Wasn't she supposed to be praised?

Wasn't Huo Jing Yan supposed to be pleasantly surprised? But why was he so cold?

Even if Huo Jing Yan had done wrong, she had never been angry. He had kept himself as low as dust to maintain their relationship, and closed the distance between them, but nothing had changed.

Had he not done well enough?

"Miss Chen, Madam said to have dinner here."

The voice that came from the door pulled Chen Xi back from her thoughts, she nodded her head, pursed her lips and walked out.
