“Huo Yunchen, what are you doing?”

“You don’t kiss me, so I come to kiss you. I don’t need you to cook for me or make tea for me, because those servants can do it. And you—”

“No, I won’t kiss you, I won’t.”

Bai Qingqing broke free from his arms, turned and ran away in small steps.

She wasn’t worried about her pregnant belly with twins; and probably because of regular exercises and yoga, her body and steps were still slim and graceful.

“Don’t run, watch your babies.”

Huo Yunchen followed behind her and held her tightly in his arms. He was really worrying about her all day long.

“Don’t run, be careful of disturbing your babies.”

He was talking softly beside her ear. His voice was soft, making the listener soften.

“Qingqing, did you know that the last time you ran around and was taken to the hospital, when I rushed through a few red lights, I saw the nurse pushing out a woman who had not been rescued and wasn’t claimed by her family. I thought—I thought that it was you. I used to hear people say their heart would be so painful that they couldn’t breathe. Before that moment, I thought it’s just a lyric. But at that moment, I realized when my heart was torn, was painful, I really couldn’t breathe—” Until today, whenever he recalled that scene, Huo Yunchen would still have a feeling of being thrown into ice water and as if the blood in his body would give birth to a cold.

……

“So don’t leave me, I will be painful, I will not be able to breathe, I will die—”

Those words were obviously very beautiful love words, and they were so touching that Bai Qingqing’s heart was like a warm sun.

Turning around, she looked at Huo affectionately, with her bright, jet-black eyes gleaming like waves.

“My little fool, I won’t leave you; even if you drive me away, I will never leave you.”

She held his face and pressed her toes with a deep kiss on his lips.

The sun shone through the dense leaves like shattered gold, and it was scattered on each other, like a dream…

She wished that time could stop at this moment, and their whole life would pass like this.

After Murong Zheng returned to the military region, he began to investigate everything about Xia Yunshan.

Bai Zhengshan hated Xia Yunshan for making him a cuckold, so he never saved Xia Yunshan’s face in front of outsiders.

Hence Murong didn’t need much effort to find out Xia Yunshan’s death and Bai Qingqing’s life experience.

He knew the truth, knew that the woman whom he loved dearly was tortured and humiliated by Bai Zhengshan every day, and died with grievances and bitterness.

And his daughter was designed and used by the bastard, causing her to suffer so much.

If his daughter hadn’t met Huo Yunchen, he really wouldn’t dare to think about how she would be ruined.

He was full of resentment and mixed feelings.

He wished to tear Bai Zhengshan, making him the food of a dog. When he learned that man was serving his sentence in Nanshan Prison, he went there.

Bai Zhengshan knew that Xia Yunshan made him cuckolded, but he never knew who that man was. Xia Yunshan kept that secret until her death.

So he didn’t know Murong Zheng.

“Who are you? Do we know each other?”

Bai Zhengshan’s face was decadent, and he went from a fat body to a thin one. Who would have thought that he was the rich and powerful Baizhengshan in the past.

Murong Zheng gave him a cold look, and asked in a cold voice, “Do you know Xia Yunshan? How did she die?”

“Xia Yunshan? She has been dead for more than ten years, who are you? What is your relationship with that bitch?” Bai Zhengshan rolled his eyes at him with an impatient look.

Suddenly he realized that the man in front of him might be—

He raised his finger to him, and his eyes fixed on Murong Zheng.

“It’s you! You’re the wicked man that bitch fornicated! You bastard, you fucking slept with my wife, and made me help you raise your kid, you fucking bastard!”

Bai Zhengshan roared angrily. Murong Zheng’s face was extremely gloomy, and the killing in his eyes suddenly condensed.

A fierce fist heavily hit the thick layer of glass between them, and the bloodthirsty murderous fright made Bai Zhengshan anxiously escape and fell heavily to the ground.

The guard heard the sound and rushed in quickly. They escorted him away.

“Bai Zhengshan, you have caused Yunshan to die tragically; you’ll die in your boots.”

Murong Zheng was roaring angrily, but he could only watch the prison guard take the man away.

Bai Zhengshan really died in his boots. It came true in a month.

He slipped while taking a bath in the bathroom, and fell to the back of his head, causing a cerebral hemorrhage and died.

Bai Qingqing didn’t know these news. She was worried about radiation during pregnancy, and thus she seldom played mobile phones, surfed Weibo, and stayed away from the WeChat Moments.

She spent most of time studying her design, and planned to hold a wedding dress design exhibition before the birth of the child.

Although she was married to a husband who was very rich, she did not want to be just a dodder attached to his body.

She wanted to have her own business, an independent and dignified life.

Meantime, Huo Yunchen also deliberately kept her from knowing those things. Whether it was Shen Yihan’s death or Bai Zhengshan’s death, he didn’t want her to know.

All he wanted her to see was peace and tranquility.

But sometimes, things always went against people’s wishes.

He found out that Murong Zheng, the new commander of the Capital City Military Region, was Bai Qing’s biological father, a man his mother loved so far and could not help doing that.

He had been dragging away from investigating, and even if he found it out, he didn’t tell the truth to Qingqing, because he felt very disgusted about the man.

This unkind man ruined the lives of two women—not two; he also got Qingqing into trouble, making her live under the repression and abuse of Bai Zhengshan since childhood.

He couldn’t forgive him, and he didn’t want Qingqing to have a reunion with him, because that man was not worthy to be a father.

But he came to them by himself. That day, after getting off work, Huo saw him sitting, drinking tea and chatting with Qingqing under the big locust tree in the yard.

He didn’t know what they were talking about. The smile on Qingqing’s face was very bright, but his heart was so cold.

“Mr. Murong, as the army commander, it is really rare for you to have tea with my wife here.” Huo Yunchen’s expression was habitually indifferent, and his tone was calm and others couldn’t perceive any emotions.

But Bai Qingming knew that the more others couldn’t distinguish, the more it proved that he was hiding emotions in his heart.

Wasn’t he even jealousy of an uncle?

Bai Qingqing stood up and stepped forward, holding Huo Yunchen’s hand with a light smile and explained, “Husband, it’s me who called Mr. Murong. Last time he saved my life, I didn’t repay him well. So I think of inviting him to come home for a meal. I didn’t tell you in advance, are you angry?”

Bai Qingqing shook his arm coquettishly, her eyes begging for mercy.

Seeing her behaving like this, Huo Yunchen couldn’t say anything unhappy.

“Okay, I see. You should take a break while you are pregnant, and don’t get tired.”

“Well, I got it.”

Murong Zheng was sitting aside, staring sharply at them both with eagle-like eyes.

Each word, every subtle expression and movement quietly fell into his eyes.

He smiled lightly, relieved.

They were very affectionate—true affection, not pretending.

Huo Yunchen was from the Huo family, which meant he was Shen Qingyue’s son.

The world was really unpredictable, and the fate was fixed by nature.

Yunshan’s daughter would be with Qingyue’s son. He thought that might be regarded as fulfilling of their long-standing friendship.

“Well, what did you mean by the army commander? What do you mean? How can I not understand? Who is the commander?” Bai Qingqing cast her eyes on Murong Zheng’s face and asked him suspiciously, “Is that you? Are you the army commander?”
