Seeing his taut eyebrows, Lin Wan Bai could not help but nod her head, "Alright!"
The two of them held hands and entered the villa. Little bun had already been carried over for a while, and there were a lot of snacks on the table, his little figure was submerged in a sea of toys, beside him, Huo Zhen's old-fashioned face revealed a rare kind smile.
After hearing the servant's report, Huo Zhen saw the two walking in and stood up from the sofa.
His gaze swept across them one by one, and finally stopped on Lin Wan Bai's body.
"You, come upstairs with me!"
After saying that, Huo Zhen took the lead and walked out of the hall.
Huo Chang Yuan immediately frowned upon hearing this, "Father!"
"Grandfather!" Even the little bun put down his toy and stopped playing.
Huo Zhen saw that they were all looking at him warily, and immediately became extremely angry, "What are you two looking at me for, father and son? It's not like I can eat her up!"
His old face could not help but look at Lin Wan Bai, "Are you going to do it or not?"
Embarrassed, Lin Wan Bai tugged at his lips and said softly, "It's okay, I'll be down very soon."
"Wwen, if there's anything, just call me!" In the end, Huo Chang Yuan could not force her, and frowned.
"Call me baby too!" The little bun also agreed.
Seeing them repeatedly nagging him with such worry that they were more likely to attack him like snakes and scorpions, Huo Zhen's chest was extremely stuffy. He could not even see them properly, and he took the lead and walked upstairs with large strides with his hands behind his back.
In the study room, Huo Zhen and Lin Wan Bai sat facing each other across the table.
For a moment, they were speechless. With her hands on her knees, she didn't know how to start, so she could only pursed her lips and wait.
After roughly two minutes, Huo Zhen cleared his throat and finally broke the silence, "The matter with Dou Dou four years ago, I'm really sorry. The reason I called you up here today, was also because I wanted to apologize to you once more. I'm sorry!"
"Chairman Huo …" Lin Wan Bai was startled.
Although Huo Zhen had once apologized to her when she was at the hospital, and even bowed deeply to her, he had never thought that he would bring it up again. At that time, he did not mean it with his heart, and was far from being as serious and sincere as he was now.
"Back then, I mistakenly thought that you had gone abroad with another man, so that's why I wanted to snatch back the Huo Family's incense, and I couldn't help but feel a little inferior in my heart. In order to prevent future troubles, I was afraid that you would use your child to threaten me one day, now that I think about it, for you to do such a thing, and let Dou Dou and you separate for four whole years, I am truly ashamed!" Huo Zhen paused for a while, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "I really hope that you can forgive me!"
The corners of Lin Wan Bai's mouth slowly tightened. She did not immediately speak, lowered her head in silence for a few seconds, then raised her head and softly said, "Chairman Huo, you are Chang Yuan's father, and I love him!"
Hearing that, Huo Zhen was startled, but quickly understood the meaning of her words.
Maybe she couldn't forgive him in her heart, since the pain of their separation was real, but she loved Huo Chang Yuan and loved him deeply. As his father, she would choose to forget this matter and respect this elder.
Huo Zhen's expression was somewhat moved, he sighed, and said with a emotional voice, "Miss Lin, you're a pretty good girl. I was indeed a little too stubborn in the past!"
Being praised by Huo Zhen all of a sudden, Lin Wan Bai was at a loss of what to do.
Huo Zhen lowered his head and opened the drawer, and took out a box from inside. It seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, he placed it on the desk and pushed it to her, "Take this."
"This is …" Lin Wan Bai did not understand.
"This was left behind by Chang Yuan's mother." "When they were pregnant, they found out that it was a boy. She was overjoyed, and prepared this long ago, saying that he was waiting for Chang Yuan to grow up and get married. He wanted to hand it over to her daughter-in-law, and let her pass it on to her from generation to generation."
It was not hard to tell that even though Huo Zhen had gotten married later on, he still had a very deep relationship with his original wife.
The box was made of rosewood, and the patterns on it were all meticulously carved. After opening it, one could see a red flannel cloth lying on top of it.
Lin Wan Bai, who had just picked up the bracelet, felt a sense of heaviness when he heard the source of the bracelet.
When she thought back to what he had just said, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her head in surprise and asked uncertainly, "Chairman Huo, did you agree to us?"
"Yes." Huo Zhen unnaturally coughed.
"Thank you!" Lin Wan Bai said sincerely, and could not help but feel that it was the best for him.
Even though the other party was Huo Chang Yuan's father, even though their relationship was strained, they were still people he cared about. She hoped that their relationship could receive his acknowledgement and blessing.
Huo Zhen looked a little embarrassed, his old-fashioned face looked a little awkward, as if he was concealing something, and said in a serious tone: "Keep the bracelet properly, if you lose it or if it breaks, then serve me home!"
"…" Lin Wan Bai was shocked, and almost dropped it.
Huo Zhen watched as she carefully hugged the box with both hands. He couldn't help but smile, but his expression was still as stern as before.
Lin Wan Bai once again closed the box, promising with utmost seriousness, "Chairman Huo, don't worry, I will definitely wear it properly!"
"You call me Chairman Huo?" Huo Zhen said unhappily.
Lin Wan Bai was startled, and immediately changed his words, "Uncle Huo …"
"Yes." Huo Zhen nodded, his gaze moving from her face down to his stomach. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard you got pregnant again?"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai's face slightly flushed.
"Boys and girls?"
Although Huo Chang Yuan had always emphasized that he knew what was being broadcasted, when facing Huo Zhen, he still did not dare to speak carelessly, and cautiously expressed, "It's been more than three months, I don't know yet, but I'll be able to find out in a few days …"
"Yes." Huo Zhen nodded and muttered to himself, "I like girls too!"
Lin Wan Bai, "..."
She couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, they were father and son. The two of them were even similar in this aspect …
This family of three looked forward to having a girl in their stomachs. She was really big!
Huo Zhen raised his hand, pointed at the closed door and said, "Hurry up and leave, or else in two minutes, Chang Yuan will not have the patience to break in!"
Lin Wan Bai was startled, and obediently walked to the entrance of the study.
Pulling the handle and opening the door, she saw Huo Chang Yuan standing outside with one hand in his pocket and frowning. It seemed like he really could barge in at any time, and she met with that pair of deep and calm eyes.
