Chapter 547: Ho Xi, Seems Like She's Pregnant!

the doctor scribbled notes in a patient's chart and prescribed medication for a sprain... then glanced at the couple whose good looks were striking.There was a faint bite mark on the side of the man's...Zhang Chongguang hung up the phone.

He looked at Hosi silently, his heart was filled with sadness. The man who gave him life had passed away, a feeling he couldn't put into words.

I feel like it's karma, but also a sense of relief.

From this point forward, there was no one in the world who shared his blood.

After a long pause, he hummed softly in reply.

Before Hose could even ask, he grabbed her hand and whispered, "Hose, come with me, okay"

It wasn't for that man, but he needed Ho Xi to accompany him.

Ho Xi nodded: "Okay! I'll go with you!"

Zhang's father was in another city, about 300 kilometers away. Zhang Chongguang was going to drive there.

Ho Xi whispered, "Let me drive. You don't look well."

"It's alright!" Zhang Chongguang shook his head gently.

He fastened his seat belt, sat quietly for a few seconds, then started the car.

Three hours later, the car arrived at the city.

Zhang Chongguang signed his name, and two hours later he received a handful of ashes in a small white urn.

Ho-xi was waiting for him outside.

Seeing him come out, I gently asked, “Are you going back to city B”

Zhang Chongguang shook his head, his voice low: "He hasn't finished his sentence yet, so he's staying in the city."

Ho Xi was puzzled.

He led her to the riverbank in the city. Zhang Chongguang opened the small jar, and gently poured the handful of ashes into the river.

After a moment, the gray-white powder drifted away and settled at the bottom.

It's all over...

Zhang Chongguang remained silent. He simply turned his body and gently embraced Huo Xi.

His face pressed against her leg, buried there, silent for a long time.

Hosei didn't disturb him.

She gazed into the distance, her heart involuntarily thinking that the shadow of childhood would probably take a lifetime to heal, even if Zhang Chongguang now had a billion fortune, the events of that year were likely to stay with him forever.

They stayed by the river for about half an hour before turning back.

Zhang Chongguang drove back to City B, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. He didn't get out of the car but softly said, "Go home first."

Hossey tilted his head and looked at him.

Zhang Chongguang's tone softened a little: "I'm going out for a while! I'll be back before 10 o'clock."

Hosei guessed where he was going.

She nodded. "Okay, come back early!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she got out of the car and closed the door. She then bent down and said, “Drive carefully!”

Zhang Chongguang smiled faintly.

The car door closed, and the black sports car slowly drove away. Huo Xi stood in the night wind, watching him leave. She knew where he was going; it should be his mother's cemetery!

She went upstairs and into the apartment. As the door closed, she gently rubbed her neck, then pulled out a thick stack of documents to look at. She had made up her mind to wait for him, even though she was tired, she still brewed herself a cup of coffee.

Zhang Chongguang didn't come back until almost 12 o'clock.

The moment he opened the door, the warm, yellowish light inside made him feel cozy. Huo Xi was curled up on the sofa, looking over files. She seemed more quiet than usual with her head bowed.

Zhang Chongguang took off his coat and walked inside. "Why aren't you asleep yet"

He noticed her clothes, still the same outfit she wore when going out, obviously just sitting here since coming back... She had been waiting for him all along!

This idiot!

Zhang Chongguang threw his coat onto the sofa and heard Huo Xi say, "I've been waiting for you! There's just a little bit left, watch it and then sleep!"

Zhang Chongguang took her files. "Haven't you eaten yet"

Ho Xi looked up: "You haven't eaten either, have you"

Zhang Chongguang gave a faint smile: "Then I'll go make two bowls of noodles. What dish would you like"

"Just make... bell pepper and pork stir-fried noodles, you make it delicious!"

"Okay, let's have some stir-fried pork with green peppers noodles!"

Ho Xi watched as he rolled up his shirt sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. His broad shoulders and narrow waist were just pleasing to the eye!

She also thought, actually they were doing pretty well like this now!

In less than half an hour, Zhang Chongguang had made two bowls of noodles and even cooked up a pot of soup.

He was still savoring it, but he had already finished eating.

"Is that all you're going to eat" Huo Xi couldn't help but say, "That's not nearly enough!"

He patted her hand gently: "Not much of an appetite! I'll go smoke a cigarette, you sleep for a while first!"

Ho Xi hesitated to speak.

In the end, she didn't say anything. After finishing her noodles, she cleared her bowl and dishes, went to take a shower and go to sleep, but she couldn't sleep at all!

Zhang Chongguang leaned on the balcony, smoking.

Actually, he shouldn't have come back tonight. He was full of negative energy, which would probably affect Huo Xi. But he still wanted her to be by his side, even if they were just a little closer. It was good enough that he could feel her presence, even if he couldn't touch her.

After a night of struggling, Huo Xi finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

In the morning, Zhang Chongguang was not by my side, and there were no signs that he had slept in the bed.

But, there's the smell of hamburgers and coffee in the apartment.

Ho Xi wore slippers out, Zhang Chongguang had already made breakfast and was sitting at the table reading the newspaper. Hearing her footsteps, he turned his head and smiled: "Awake"

"Huo Xi looked at him: "You... didn't sleep all night"

"No! I didn't wake you because I saw you were asleep. I slept in the guest room!"

Zhang Chongguang lightly patted her waist: "Go wash up and eat breakfast."

Huo Xi was still staring at him.

His tone immediately softened: "I'm fine! Actually... it was just someone unimportant!"

Huo mumbled, "You're being insincere! Zhang Chongguang, crying in front of me isn't a shameful thing at all! I haven't seen you at your worst"

Zhang Chongguang's eyes blazed.

Ho Xi flew out the door quickly, and after a while she came back wearing different clothes to have breakfast together.

Zhang Chongguang poured her milk and brought her a sandwich, just like he always did. He acted completely nonchalant, as if the man's death didn't matter to him at all, or as if he had already gotten over it in half a day.

Ho Xi couldn't judge, she thought, it was ultimately something he had to process himself.

She lowered her head to drink the milk, and Zhang Chongguang's voice sounded softly: "Hoxi, let's get married!"

Ho Xi choked on his mouthful of milk.

Holy cow, he's back!

He took it as just everyday chit-chat!

She just moved, and Zhang Chongguang grasped her hand, his voice a rasp: "Hoxi, I'm serious."

Ho Xi stared at him for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a few words: "Isn't this too rash"

He smiled, "You're wearing the engagement ring already! Besides, if you want anything romantic, I can arrange it. The only condition is that you say yes first."

"I disagree, so you won't arrange it" Huo Xi deliberately sang the opposite tune.

Zhang Chongguang smiled lightly, finally bringing a touch of joy.

Huoxi couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Chongguang asked: "Stupid! Spit it out."

Huoxi said, with a hint of shyness but not too much: "Fine, you arrange it then!"

"I sure did!"

Holly also truly liked him, and really wanted to marry him. Although his proposal today was rather sudden, she agreed, feeling a little cheated. When Ho Xi grows up, she'll know!"Xiaohuxi trusts him more.Ho Shao-ting focused on driving, no longer speaking. His wife and daughter were in the car!Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of...
