Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xuan’s eyes widened when he saw the dress.
High heels… The dress…
Women…
Why was there a woman in his father’s room?
Could it be his mother?
But that couldn’t be right.
His father hadn’t asked his mother to come overseas with them. If his mother had come, he would have definitely seen her immediately. So why was there a woman in his dad’s bedroom?
Cheating?
Huo Xuan tried to remain calm, but once his emotions flared, his head spun. As he gazed at the blue dress, the world seemed to whirl around him, and his vision went black in an instant.
When he regained consciousness, he saw his father’s anxious expression. “Huo Xuan, do you feel unwell anywhere?” Huo Sicheng’s deep-set eyes were filled with concern, and his handsome face was taut. “Tell Dad.”
Huo Xuan stared at his father with his drowsy eyes.
Huo Sicheng pressed the call button. “I’ll have the doctor come in and check on you.”
When the doctor entered the room, Huo Sicheng stepped aside to allow the examination.
“Master Huo, your son appears to be in good health,” the doctor informed him.
Huo Sicheng gestured for the doctor to leave, then took Huo Xuan’s favorite panda cup and walked to the bedside.
“Have some water.”
“I don’t want to drink,” Huo Xuan turned away from his father. “You’re a liar.”
“Why would I lie?” Huo Sicheng said helplessly. “We’re on the plane now, and we’ll be in Jiang City in three hours.”
Huo Xuan turned to look at Huo Sicheng. “Give me your phone.”
Huo Sicheng hesitated but handed his phone to Huo Xuan. “What are you doing?”
Huo Xuan stated without hesitation, “I want to check the time.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes flickered. “It’s already the next night.”
“You promised to go home that night to be with Mom!” Huo Xuan was furious. Despite his dizziness, he glared at Huo Sicheng. “You lied to me. You lied to me.”
Huo Sicheng tried to soothe him. “Daddy has been very busy with work. Calm down. You can be with Mommy when we get home soon.”
“Busy with work?” Huo Xuan was even angrier. “You took me overseas and promised not to take me to see a doctor. Yet, they drew a lot of my blood. So-called ‘busy work’ was actually being in the room with a woman!”
Huo Sicheng furrowed his brow. “Stop talking nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. The person who opened the door was a woman.” Huo Xuan pouted. “Dad, you cheated on Mommy.”
Huo Sicheng’s face tensed, and he asked Huo Xuan seriously, “You said the person who opened the door was a woman. Can you describe what she looked
Huo Xuan was taken aback by his father’s question.
“I didn’t see the woman who opened the door, but…” He stammered anxiously, “I saw her wearing white high heels and a blue dress. I…”
“In other words, you didn’t see what the woman looked like. How can you be sure she was a woman?” Huo Sicheng said. “Don’t forget, you were unconscious when I opened the door. I strongly suspect you may have hallucinated due to the blood draw.”
Huo Xuan paused, then continued, “You need evidence for everything. Forget it, Dad. I was in your room with a woman. You asked what she looked like, and I didn’t know. Have you considered how your mother would react if she heard
Huo Xuan was stunned. He bit his lower lip and, after a while, said, “With Mommy’s temper, if she heard me say there was a woman in your room, she’d definitely confront you, maybe even start a quarrel.’
“She beat me and quarreled with me, it’s all trivial matters.” Huo Sicheng reminded Huo Xuan, “If it gets serious, she will divorce me.” Huo Xuan widened his eyes in shock.
“No, no, no. You can’t let that happen. I can’t lose Mommy.”
“With your mother’s temper, once she gets angry, I won’t be able to handle it,” Huo Sicheng said meaningfully. “Consider what you’ve just said. I’m staying in the presidential suite, and there’s a woman in the room. She’ll definitely think
I’m cheating and divorce me.”
Huo Xuan didn’t know what to do upon hearing his father’s words.
Huo Sicheng noticed his changing expression. He leaned over and hugged Huo
Xuan, saying gently, “You’re unwell, and you fainted and had hallucinations due to anger. So, you mustn’t say anything to your mother to prevent any
misunderstandings.”
“But…” Huo Xuan hesitated, “I don’t think I was hallucinating. I was very awake at that time. I…”
“Even if you were awake, how did you faint?” Huo Sicheng asked, “How did you get on the plane? Did you see that woman’s face clearly?”
His father’s questions left Huo Xuan speechless.
He couldn’t answer any of them.
“Perhaps… I was really hallucinating…”
Huo Sicheng’s apologetic expression reflected in his long, narrow eyes. He looked a bit sad as he spoke softly, “Huo Xuan, when we get home, Mommy will ask about our trip abroad. How will you answer her?”
“Even about the hallucinations?” Huo Sicheng asked.
Huo Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “No, I won’t mention that.”
Huo Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief, gently stroking Huo Xuan’s back. He said softly, “Have some water. I’ll have the chef prepare your favorite dishes. You can eat something later.”
“Okay,” Huo Xuan replied.
At the dining table, Huo Xuan ate gracefully while watching his father, who sat across from him.
“Dad, didn’t Mommy call you these past two days?”
Huo Sicheng was scrolling through WeChat on his phone, but his face showed disappointment. Gu Qingcheng hadn’t sent him a single message.
“She called,” he finally said.
“I didn’t see you answer your Mom’s call,” Huo Xuan pointed out.
“I was busy at the time,” Huo Sicheng explained. “I missed her call. When I called back, your mother had hung up. Later, I saw her participating in the Peach Lotus Cup live, so I didn’t want to disturb her work.”
“You’re an inept husband,” Huo Xuan stated firmly. “You received only one call from Mommy, and it’s been several days. No matter how busy I am, I always find time to answer your calls.”
“Daddy is busy too,” Huo Sicheng replied. “If I weren’t busy, I would certainly reach out to your mother.”
Huo Xuan pouted. “Contact Mommy now. Tell her that you and I miss her.”
“I’ll call her when we get home,” Huo Sicheng replied, turning to look at the gift box nearby. “We’ll surprise your mother. She’ll be delighted to see us.”
Huo Xuan tilted his head and thought for a moment. “I agree. Mommy will definitely be thrilled when she sees the two of us suddenly appearing in front of her.”
When the plane landed in Jiang City, it was already ten o’clock at night. Huo Sicheng took Huo Xuan back to Wanmei Villa via helicopter.
“Mommy must be in the bedroom now,” Huo Xuan stated as he pressed the
wheelchair button to go to the elevator. “You promised me we’d be back in Jiang City in a day, but you broke your word and lied to me. Regardless, you promised to listen to me. When we get to the bedroom, you must give Mommy the gift box I gave you last time.”
Huo Sicheng held Huo Xuan with one arm and placed the gift box in his pocket with the other, his eyes full of affection.
“All right,” he agreed.
As soon as they reached her mother’s bedroom, Huo Xuan left the wheelchair and turned the doorknob, entering with excitement.
“Mommy! Daddy and I are back!” he announced joyfully.. “Are you surprised?
Hmm?”
