Chapter 763, Huo Xi, This Is My Girlfriend!

her feelings, yet she couldn't help but like him. She who usually didn't pay attention to the news, began to watch television and read newspapers intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes, when her...Zhang Chongguang was the closest.

He watched his beloved elder, passing away before his eyes, with a peaceful expression... After a long while, he blinked, only then realizing that Huo Zhendong was truly gone.

The oldest person who loved Huo Xi the most has passed away.

Perhaps, it was to reunite with his beloved wife.

A single tear slid down the corner of Zhang Chongguang's eye, and he quickly wiped it away. People say tears shouldn't fall on the deceased, and even though Zhang Chongguang didn't believe in the supernatural, he was still careful to avoid doing so.

All the members of the Huo family knelt down. Huo Shaoting started wiping his father's face with a warm towel and removing those instrument tubes... The atmosphere was unbearably heavy.

Zhang Chongguang stood up, his hands gripping the wheelchair's armrests with force.

When I knelt down, my left leg was in excruciating pain.

But the pain of losing a loved one at this time transcended physical pain... Zhang Chongguang slowly knelt down, he trembled as he grasped Huo Zhendong's hand, that once warm palm was now cold.

……

The Huo family has been a prominent clan for generations, and when the former head of the family passed away, it was impossible to handle the matter hastily.

The mourning hall was set up in the Huo family's mansion, and a large number of people came to offer condolences. From celebrities in City B to employees of Huo Corporation, there were over a thousand people in total. Huo Shaoting and his wife were overcome with grief, and most of the arrangements were handled by Huo Xi and his sister Huo Yunshi. After a few days, both of them had lost weight.

Before ascending the mountain, the younger generation of the Huo family took turns keeping vigil.

At one o'clock in the morning, Huo Yunshi returned to his bedroom upstairs and had just lain down on the sofa for a while when An Ran came in with supper. It was a bowl of plain noodles.

Sitting quietly beside him, she took his hand and softly said, “Have a bowl of noodles and take a short nap.”

Ho Yunsi closed his eyes again.

After a few days, he was really exhausted. He held hands with his wife for a long time before whispering: "It's so late, you don't have to cook anything special. I'm not hungry anyway."

Anran would know, it's not something he could stomach.

She leaned against her husband, her voice soft: “At least eat something. We have a lot to do tomorrow! Sister Huo Xi has children to take care of, and most things will still depend on you! …Yunshi”

Ho Yunsi calmed herself for a moment and patted her hand.

He sat up, took the chopsticks from Anran's hand, and smiled faintly: "Okay, let's eat noodles! I'll listen to Mr. An."

An Ran also smiled faintly.

Although she felt sorry for her husband and wanted to stay with him, she was also the daughter-in-law of the Huo family at this time. She had to be responsible for everything inside and outside the house, so she went downstairs first to give everyone a late-night snack.

Late at night, the first floor memorial hall.

Zhang Chongguang, with his inconvenient leg, sat quietly in his wheelchair for a final look.

Huo Xi came down from upstairs.

Zhang Chongguang looked up and met her eyes, both filled with sadness... There was no time to think about what was between them, about their future.

After a long silence, Huo Xi moved his finger slightly, gently stroking the handrail of the stairs.

She slowly walked to his side, wanting to help him straighten the blanket on his knee. But as her hand touched his left leg, Zhang Chongguang reflexively grabbed her hand.

Hoxi's hand was clutched painfully.

"Zhang Chongguang."

Zhang Chongguang suddenly woke up, he looked at Huo Xi, at the tears in the corner of her eyes and murmured, "I'm sorry!"

Then he let go of her.

"It's getting late," Huo Xi retreated a step and softly said, "You should go back to your room and sleep."

Zhang Chongguang refused: "I want to stay here."

Huo Xi didn't think much: "Your leg isn't hurting Rest early..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Chongguang rudely interrupted her.

He asked her, “Because my leg hurts, I’m not qualified to stand guard here, am I Because my leg hurts, in your eyes, I’m just a waste of space, am I”

He got angry out of nowhere, and he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.

Hawksi was the person who promised Huo Zhendong to take care of her for life, but in a blink of an eye he yelled at her.

He panted an apology: "I'm sorry, Hoseok."

Ho Xi didn't mind much because they truly weren't close anymore. It was only natural that their conversations wouldn't be as careful, and there was no need for either of them to please the other.

"It's nothing! If you want to stay here, I'll have a servant bring you a bowl of noodles," said Huo Xi with a faint smile.

Zhang Chongguang said yes in a low voice.

Then he wanted to say something to her, to ease the tension, but Huo Xi had already walked to the other side to add some paper money to the basin. The firelight illuminated her face, casting a pale blush upon it.

They were only a few meters apart, yet the chasm between them was one he couldn't cross in his wheelchair.

Zhang Chongguang clenched his fist.

A while later, the maid sent over some noodles and lightly called out, "Master Chongguang! Master Chongguang..."

Ho Xi raised his eyes and saw his gloomy expression.

Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, not a word came out.

The next day, the funeral ended.

The Huo family members each did their own things. Huo Xi and Zhang Chongguang hadn't met for a few days, perhaps it was her illusion, even their contact through the child was rare. He would call the child but used the family's landline.

Huo Xi couldn't say whether it was good or bad.

She remembered what he had said to her that day, that he had a girlfriend... But why was his gaze towards her so gloomy that night even though he had a girlfriend!

Huoxi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother trying to.

She just didn't expect to run into Zhang Chongguang...and his girlfriend, at a formal business event.

Zhang Chongguang held a highball glass, leaning against the sofa back without sitting in his wheelchair.

I guess gout is gone!

A very dignified and graceful woman stood by his side. She was in her early thirties, beautiful and well-figured.

Huo Xi recognized her, it was a female host from a radio station in city b.

This is Lulu!

At this moment, He Lu was pressed closely against Zhang Chongguang's body, her fair arms intertwined with his, their closeness apparent to all.

Huo Xi quietly looked for a few seconds.

She thought, are they divorced couples, or should they avoid suspicion!

So she just nodded lightly and walked around, but unexpectedly Zhang Chongguang saw her and called out casually, "Hoxi."

Ho Xi's body stiffened slightly.

For a moment, she turned and changed her expression to one of spring sunshine, asking, "Zhang Zong, is there something the matter"

Zhang Chongguang's eyes were deep.

For a while, he clasped the woman beside him's hand, almost interlocking fingers. Hoxi lowered his gaze, looking very calmly.

Zhang Chongguang, what is he doing

Show affection in front of her

Zhang Chongguang stared at Huo Xi's eyes and asked softly, "What about that lawyer Shen Did anything come of it"

Ho Xi couldn't help but snort with laughter. "What kind of answer do you want to hear"

Zhang Chongguang's black eyes were still fixed on her.

After a long pause, he smiled faintly: "What answer could I possibly want! I just wanted to introduce my sister-in-law to you."

He spoke nonchalantly, as if there had never been anything between him and Huo Xi.

Ms. He seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Zhang Chongguang, however, seemed nonchalant. He introduced the Ms. He to someone, saying: "This is Huo Xi, my sister."

The gold master said that she was his younger sister, and He Lu could only treat her as such.f you don't want to meet, just disappear. Anyway, we are not in the same circle."Ho Xi gave a faint smile and got out of the car.She entered the law firm, waited for a while and then called Lu Shao: "...
