Murong Zheng took a sip of tea and nodded, asking slowly: “Don’t I look like that?” Bai Qingqing looked back at Huo Yunchen, then looked at Murong Zheng, nodding again and again. “I believe, especially believe. I just don’t expect that I’m so lucky to meet the chief. I’m so happy.” Bai Qingqing was quite surprised, but why would Huo Yunchen know? She turned back and asked him: “How did you know? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Mr. Huo should have investigated me, and he must know everything about me.” Murong Zheng looked at Huo Yunchen sharply. Now that he’s done it, he should know that he is his father-in-law. But he was not friendly to him, which made him very uncomfortable. “Huo Yunchen, did you really investigate Mr. Murong? You are going too far. He is my saviour, why are you investigating him?” Bai Qing was a little angry, and she didn’t like Huo Yunchen to do so. Even as for the stray dog she had fed, he would send someone to investigate its three generations.

“Mr. Murong, I’m really embarrassed. My wife is pregnant. For me, her safety is above all else. Therefore, I must take precautions against things that will affect her mood and threaten her personal safety. Please forgive me, I have no malice.” Huo Yunchen spoke sharply, and every word was reasonable, as if all was for her good. Bai Qingqing lost most of her anger after hearing these words, and turned to apologize to Murong Zheng for him. “Mr. Murong, don’t be angry. He is too nervous for me and the child.”

Murong Zheng smiled brightly, and said soothingly: “I’m not angry. A clean hand wants no washing. Mr. Huo is eager to protect his wife, and I am very touched. If it were me, I would do the same.” “Really? Will Mr. Murong treat your wife like this? Are you men so cautious?” Bai Qingqing asked with curiosity. She always thought that only Huo Yunchen was weird, but it turned out not to be the case. This Mr. Murong was also the same.

“This is the depth of love and the depth of protection.” Murong was looking at Bai Qingqing, seeing her pure smile as if it could wash away all the dust in his heart. He understood what Huo Yunchen meant. He didn’t want them to recognize each other, at least not during pregnancy. She might or might not accept a father who had ignored her mother and had not fulfilled his responsibilities for many years. All he could do was to silently guard her and protect her to give birth to a child safely.

“Mommy, mommy, I’m back, I miss you and my younger brothers.” Before Tiantian arrived, his voice came. Bai Qingqing said sweetly, “Oh, mom is here.” After a while, Huo Tiantian got into his mother’s arms like a gust of wind. He touched his mother’s belly and whispered: “My younger brother, I’m come back. Do you miss your brother?” The cute and soft voice of Tiantian sounded very comfortable. Murong Zheng’s eyes were attracted by this elvish child.

Huo Yunchen sat aside and coughed deliberately when he saw Huo Tiantian as if he didn’t see him. “Hmm-um-” Turning his head, Tiantian saw daddy and happily got into daddy’s arms. “Daddy, why do you come back so early today? You haven’t had dinner and played building blocks with me for a long time.” “Can I play with you today?” “Okay, daddy, you can’t regret it. Although work is important, mommy and I are also very important. You can find a new job if you lose it. But if mommy and I disappear, you won’t find us again.”

Tiantian said with a serious face, and those words sounded as if he had been wronged. Murong Zheng laughed loudly. So Tiantian tilted his head and looked at the strange grandfather carefully. Why did this grandpa look so familiar? But obviously he had never seen him. He turned to look at his father, he was not like him. Then he looked at his mother. He was suddenly enlightened, and pointed his little finger at Murong Zhengshan and said, “You, you are–”

“Tiantian, you can’t be rude, call grandpa.” Bai Qingqing interrupted him quickly, worried that he was impolite to offend the chief. Tiantian jumped off Huo Yunchen’s lap curiously and ran to Murong Zheng’s side. “Mommy, why should I call him grandfather? He is your father, isn’t he be called grandpa?” Tiantian’s words surprised Huo Yunchen a little. How did the child know?

“Tiantian, why do you say he is my father? Grandpa Murong is not mother’s father, but mother’s savior.” Bai Qingqing explained to Tiantian carefully, but Tiantian disapprovingly argued, “Isn’t it? Why do you two look so alike? I find daddy because I look like him. Why aren’t you?” This question, Bai Qingqing could not answer, but she took a closer look at Murong Zheng. His eyes, even if nearly sixty years old, were still black and bright. There indeed existed some similarity.

“It seems that we are really destined. Since this kid has said so, if Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are willing to accept, how about I recognize Mrs. Huo as a goddaughter? I really like this child.” Murong Zheng deliberately diverted attention. Since it was not suitable to recognize each other, it was better to guard her in another way. “You are the chief, I’m afraid I’m not good enough.” “How come. I have never been married in my lonely life, and have always wanted to have a home.”

Murong Zheng reached out and touched Tiantian’s hair, and Tiantian looked at him with admiration. “Okay, okay. I want, I want a grandpa who is the chief.” “Okay, let grandpa hug you.” Murong Zheng lifted Tiantian over his head and placed him on his shoulders, happily running around the yard.

Bai Qingqing looked at Huo Yunchen helplessly and asked him, “Do we really look alike?” Huo Yunchen put his arm around her shoulder with soft eyes, saying: “No, my wife is much prettier than him.” “Then do I really recognize this godfather?”  “Since Tiantian is so happy, let him recognize this godfather, and this grandfather is a big shot.” Huo Yunchenyun said calmly, and his eyes kept staring at Murong Zheng. He said he was unmarried all his life? Why? For whom? Wasn’t he a love rat, then who was the person hiding in his heart?

Why did he ignore Xia Yunshan and her daughter for so many years? How did he feel about his mother? What was the purpose of his sudden appearance?
