It was only a little past seven when she saw her son so anxious. She looked at the clock and said, "The child still hasn't woken up yet. Last time he had a cold, he still hasn't recovered yet. Let him sleep a little longer. You can call him at noon."
Huo Jing Yan was too lazy to waste his words, his tone suddenly became overbearing: "Then wake up!"
Li Ai Lin was puzzled. What was going on, why was she so good at treating children so early in the morning?
Why was her son always so eccentric?
Just as Li Ai Lin was at a loss, a servant suddenly ran over and said, "Madam, Madam, the young master has woken up. He said that he wants to see you."
On the other side, Huo Jing Yan also heard it, and immediately said coldly: "There's no need for you to call him, go upstairs to get him to answer the phone."
His voice sounded like an order. All these years, even if it was his own mother, Huo Jing Yan was still not polite to her.
Ye Zi Xuan sat nervously at the side. Both her hands were tightly clasped and her knuckles were white. While she was waiting, Huo Jing Yan reached out and tightly held her hand, as if to give her courage.
After a while, Huo Yi Heng's small, lazy voice came out of the phone, "Daddy …"
Although the pronunciation was unfamiliar, it was soft and could not help but make people gentler. Huo Jing Yan also found it hard to be gentle with a child, and said: "Be good."
Since Ye Zi Xuan's mother was by her side, he couldn't act like a stranger to this child. Furthermore, he treated the child badly previously because she wanted to take revenge on Ye Zi Xuan.
Huo Yi Heng was not close to him in the first place, he was afraid of him, and there was no sound from the phone for a long time.
Beautiful Big Sister?
Ye Zi Xuan was still puzzled when she held the phone in her hand. Huo Jing Yan released her hand, and her fingers unconsciously started to tremble. His heartbeat suddenly sped up, and he was so excited that it felt like his entire person was about to fly into the sky.
"Be good and talk to him." Huo Jing Yan's gentle voice sounded by her ear as he reached out and held her in his arms.
She was excited for a long time as she strove to suppress the conflict between them who were about to cry. Finally, she greeted in a gentle voice, "Hey, Small Ephemeral, I'm Xuan Xuan, do you remember me?"
"Wow, it's the Beautiful Big Sister's voice." Huo Yi Heng's surprised yet cheerful voice came from the other side, "Beautiful Big Sister, Beautiful Big Sister..."
Eh? Beautiful Big Sister?
She looked at Huo Jing Yan, a little confused, and wanted to ask why he called her Beautiful Big Sister. Huo Jing Yan also shook his head.
She then asked: "Why did Yi Heng call Auntie Xuan Xuan Beautiful Big Sister?"
"Because you are beautiful, Beautiful Big Sister." The child's innocent voice sounded, his pronunciation somewhat lame.
When Ye Zi Xuan heard the child's childish voice, she was so excited that she wanted to cry. She turned her head and jumped into Huo Jing Yan's embrace, her shoulders trembling.
It had been three years, but this was the first time she knew that her child was still alive in this world. She never dared to think about how this child grew up in these three years, nor did she know if he was born prematurely, had he breastfed, or had he grown up without a mother's love.
The child's soft smile and puckered lips were filled with grievance. Everything that she had seen appeared in front of her, and the hand that was holding the microphone continuously tightened. At this moment, no one could feel the pain in her heart.
"Beautiful Big Sister, are you still there?" It was only when Huo Yi Heng's voice came from the other end of the phone that Ye Zi Xuan finally calmed down.
With one hand holding the phone and the other holding her knees to support her chin, she sniffed: "Ah, I'm here, Beautiful Big Sister is talking to Yi Heng."
"Yi Heng told Beautiful Big Sister what you are doing? Have you had breakfast? Are you being good or not? "
I've eaten it, Yi Heng is very obedient, listening to Grandma's words when she was at home, especially when Daddy is not home, no one will bully Yi Heng anymore. Children are always naive.
When Huo Jing Yan heard this, he felt somewhat guilty and angry at the same time. This disgraceful son of his, would his father bully a child like him?
Was this a complaint? Huo Yi Heng, in a few years, I will let you see what it means to truly bully someone.
Ye Zi Xuan ignored his resistance and only spoke nonstop with Huo Yi Heng. She was concerned about his cold, and what she ate at breakfast, she desperately tried to remember this voice and wanted to hear her son's voice.
His mind was still fantasizing about how the baby looked like when it had just woken up, whether it had its head hanging down and was still very angry with the baby. He even wanted to tell the Huo Family to take good care of the child.
However, she knew, Li Ai Lin probably didn't want her to know that this child was still alive. When Huo Jing Yan wasn't around, she also didn't want to offend the people of Huo Family.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before a nanny's voice came from the other side, calling the young master to go eat downstairs.
Her son was the young master of Huo Family, and the treatment was probably better than Huo Jing Yan's by several times. Thinking about it this way, she was not worried, no matter how much Li Ai Lin disliked her, at least he did not treat her unfairly, and that was good enough.
"Beautiful Big Sister, Grandma called me downstairs to eat breakfast." Huo Yi Heng's childish voice came out again.
Ye Zi Xuan asked reluctantly: Then, what is Yi Heng planning to do after eating breakfast?
"Going to the amusement park with Auntie Chen Xi? Every time I come, Auntie Chen Xi would bring me something nice to eat, and she even brought me out to play. Every time she plays, she didn't want to go home, it's so fun outside.
The child's voice was still by her ear, but Ye Zi Xuan's smile slowly faded. When it came to Chen Xi, she did not know what to say, and could only remain silent.
She knew clearly in her heart that Chen Xi was already engaged to Huo Jing Yan, so when she married him, her son would call him mother.
She just found out that she has a son, so she …
She was silent. Huo Jing Yan had also realized this and took the phone from her hands. He immediately ordered his son: Go and eat, hang up!
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The child's voice still echoed in her ears. Ye Zi Xuan had blamed herself from the bottom of her heart, that her son was still alive and well, yet she thought that he was dead. Yet Chen Xi had actually taken the child out to play everyday.
Her eyes dimmed. She took a deep breath and said, "As the mother of a child, I haven't done my duty as a mother for a day. I didn't protect him well and didn't do my duty as a mother for a day."
"Neither did I." Huo Jing Yan said in a natural manner. He did not want Ye Zi Xuan to blame herself too much, after all, she had only just found out that the brat was her own biological son.
