….
Huo Yu glanced sideways, and the tender gaze he had directed towards Xia Wan since he sat at the dining table instantly turned gloomy and profound.
Looking up, Xia Wan smiled at him, his rosy lips stained with a little grease, looking fresh and delicious.
“Is it okay?” Xia Wan asked.
Huo Yu was silent for a moment, but couldn’t help but nod slightly while looking at Xia Wan’s clean and bright eyes.
“Okay,” Huo Yu replied. He wasn’t sure if he had correctly interpreted Xia Wan’s response or if it was all in his head.
After 20 years of experiencing a lack of warmth and love, no matter what, the words “I’ll go with you” made his heart skip a beat. His heart was pounding uncontrollably.
This imagination stirred up memories of a long-lost pain and sourness for Huo Yu. This pain was not foreign to him; it was a companion during numerous lonely and helpless nights. The roots of this emotional hurt reached the depths of his heart when the person he considered closest and most trustworthy in his life betrayed him, leaving an indelible mark that pierced through his entire being.
In response to this betrayal, Huo Yu developed a defense mechanism – a toughened heart that was impervious from swords and guns, as well as the harsh words thrown his way by the world.
But now…..
“Crack!”
Huo Lin couldn’t take it any longer and slammed his chopsticks on the table before standing up. “I’m full!”
“Sit down.” Huo Peixue frowned at Huo Lin, “Your brother just returned, let’s have a good meal with him.”
Huo Lin snorted and sat down again, his movements causing the dining chair to make a harsh sound.
Seemingly wanting to release her anger for her son, as soon as Huo Lin settled into his seat, Li Yun set aside her bowl and chopsticks, stating, “I have something else to do; you guys go ahead and eat.”
Huo Peixue gave her a helpless look before letting her go.
“Are you happy with the car that your uncle gave you?” Huo Peixue attempted to change the subject as the dining table became quiet once more.
“I like it. But I have too many cars to drive, and Wanwan rarely likes things, so I give it to Wan Wan to drive,” Huo Yu explained.
Huo Lin choked on his water upon hearing this. Huo Yu was being too generous, even if all their love was pretentious, right?
Huo Peixue froze upon hearing this, casting a calm glance at Xia Wan. He secretly felt relieved that Li Yun had left; otherwise, her temper might have led to an immediate confrontation.
After all, that car was worth 10 million which was not a small amount, even he was hesitant to give it to Huo Lin.
Although the original intention of ordering this car was indeed to surprise his son, who knew that Huo Yu would come back so coincidentally, he had to reluctantly give it to Huo Yu. But to gain a good reputation among people, spending ten million was not too much. But now the car has been casually given to someone like Xia Wan, he feels as disgusted as if he was eating shit.

Xia Wan, on the other hand, appeared oblivious to Huo Peixue’s words. He laughed, his voice filled with soft and blissful obedience, completely unaware that the abalone rice soup had stained the corners of his lips.
He lifted his head and sweetly said while looking at Huo Yu, “It is all thanks to my lover. He is so good to me.”
Huo Yu cast a sidelong glance at Xia Wan, then raised his hand to wipe the soup from the corner of Xia Wan’s lips and said quietly, “If I’m not good to you, who would I be good too?”
Xia Wan smiled sideways, his brows and eyes were bent, and Huo Yu curled a strand of hair behind his ear, emphasizing Xia Wan’s thin side cheeks.
Xia Wan thoroughly enjoyed eating this meal. Not only was the food delicious, but it can also horrify people.
Huo Peixue had previously only thought that this child was extremely attractive; now he understood why Huo Lin and Huo Yu both fell in love with him.
Huo Peixue cast a sidelong glance at Huo Lin and noticed that Huo Lin had already straightened his back and was busy staring, while Huo Yu had wrapped his palm around half of Xia Wan’s face.
“Don’t choke.” The small half of Xia Wan’s face turned into Huo Yu’s palm, warm and moist. Xia Wan’s face was so soft that Huo Yu couldn’t help but remember the kiss Xia Wan had just given him.
Warm, soft and sweet… Huo Yu paused, and silently withdrew his hand.
Huo Peixue smiled lightly.
He relaxed his guard against Huo Yu for the first time since Huo Yu returned to China. After all, Huo Yu was still a child, and just like others he was controlled by face.
Everything that child said to him was no different than playing the piano against a cow, especially for a child like this who came from a small family and didn’t even have a little vision, so he could only try to show his appearance and freshness.
“Uncle you know I don’t have much else to give,” Huo Yu finished serving Xia Wan and recalled his earlier words, “This is the only car I can use to express my sincerity to Xia Wan.”
“Don’t you still have the Huo family?” Huo Peixue asked.
However Huo Yu said nothing, which relieved Huo Peixue, who even asked kindly of Xia Wan, “Can Xiaoxia drive?”
“Yes. I took the exam with my roommate when I was a freshman,” Xia Wan said obediently.
“Oh,” Huo Peixue nodded, “I heard that Shen Yan’s younger brother is also studying in your school, right?”
Xia Wan knows someone named Shen Yan, but he doesn’t know who Shen Yan’s younger brother was. He shook his head: “I don’t know.”
“Well,” Huo Peixue didn’t care whether Xia Wan knew him or not, he just wanted to take the opportunity to say what he wanted to say, “I heard from Lin Lin a while ago that Shen Yan and Wen Yunzhi nephew were in love with each other. Are they still together? Is he trying to build a connection with the Xue family?”
It was the Xue family once more, and Xia Wan couldn’t help but be intrigued. He remembered the huge X building sign, which was identical to the one on their house. He was faintly lost in thought, this Xue family seemed unusual, it seemed that even Huo Peixue couldn’t get along with them.
“No. It was a long time ago,” Huo Yu said faintly.
Everyone in the circle knows that Shen Yan’s relationship with Wen Yunzhi’s nephew was shaky but Shen Yan did not offend the Xue family. Huo Peixue was just asking questions knowingly.
“That’s a pity.” Huo Peixue smiled meaningfully, “Young people’s feelings are not stable.”
Huo Peixue’s words quickly snapped Xia Wan’s attention back from distraction.
“However, uncle and aunt have a very strong relationship. Uncle is not yet fifty this year, but Huo Lin is twenty-four years old,” Xia Wan said, setting down the soup bowl and counting with his fingers.
“Did you have children when you were younger?” Xia Wan asked Huo Peixue.
Huo Peixue: “…”
With a smile, Xia Wan lifted his chin and glanced at Huo Yu, saying, “Well, you better put in some effort then.”
Huo Yu pursed his thin lips and raised his brows: “Then do you have the ability to give birth?”
Xia Wan, unaware of his thoughts, smiled even more brightly. Leaning close to Huo Yu’s ear, he whispered something unknown. Huo Yu lowered his eyes and chuckled in response.
“Should I make a room for you two?” Huo Lin was enraged.
Xia Wan took a step back from Huo Yu’s ear. He rubbed his stomach, and said calmly, “I’m full.”
From start to finish, Xia Wan treated Huo Lin like air.
Huo Lin’s face turned blue as a result of this, and even though he couldn’t have Xia Wan, Huo Peixue felt bad for his son.
……
Xia Wan stretched lazily as he walked out of Huo’s house, the sky wide and the stars twinkling. He was about to get in the car when Huo Yu threw the car keys into his hand.
“What are you doing?” Xia Wan asked, looking up slightly.
“Didn’t I say that I was giving this car to you?” Huo Yu said, “Drive it by yourself.”
For a brief moment, Xia Wan was stunned. When Huo Yu said this the first time, he thought it was a joke, and when Huo Yu mentioned it again to Huo Peixue at the dinner table, he thought Huo Yu was deliberately saying this to annoy the other party, but now he had to believe thatHuo Yu was serious from the beginning.
Xia Wan looked back, and compared to when Huo Yu came, there were people for welcoming, but now there was no one to send Huo Yu out.
“You’re very generous.” Xia Wan smiled and teasingly said, “Eldest Master.”
Then Xia Wan handed Huo Yu the car keys, saying, “People don’t get paid for nothing, and no matter how much you hate it, it’s yours as well.”
“Didn’t you just provide praiseworthy service? Take it, I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t take something in return,” Huo Yu said as he twirled the car key between his fingers.
“Today, I’ll let you use it.” Xia Wan said as he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, he raised his chin slightly and said, “Driver, drive.”
“Tsk.” Huo Yu laughed and sat in the driver’s seat willingly.
Xia Wan’s house was not too far from Huo Yu’s house, it’s a ten-minute drive away. The only difference is that Huo Yu lives in an urban villa area where even the rich can’t buy a house, while Xia Wan’s house is an old house that is 40 or 50 years old. Though the distance is only ten minutes, one lives in the sky and one in the ground.
When passing by a small supermarket, Xia Wan asked Huo Yu to stop the car and jumped down by himself. After a while, he walked over with a not-so-small cardboard box.
“What did you buy?” Huo Yu got out of the car, took the cardboard box, and placed it in the trunk. The box appears large, but it is not heavy.
“I bought a humidifier.” Xia Wan said, “My dad has been coughing a bit lately.”
“You’re quite a filial son,” Huo Yu said.
“I am not like you; who would try to anger the elders to death.” Xia Wan found Huo Peixue and his son’s expressions at the dinner table amusing.
Huo Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Despite the fact that the other party said nothing, Xia Wan clearly understood Huo Yu’s thoughts based on his expression: He was only filial if he can really annoy them.
Xia Wan appears to unconsciously relax in front of Huo Yu after confirming that Huo Yu has not completely blackened.
Xia Wan talked a lot and Huo Yu talked less, and very soon both reached their destination. The rows of old-fashioned houses were like silent sculptures in the night, dark and full of traps.
“Where do you live?” Huo Yu looked out the window before unbuckling his seat belt and saying, “I’ll take you up.”
“No need.” Xia Wan took his bag and humidifier and prepared to get on without looking back.
Xia Wan’s soft black hair was blown up by the night wind as he walked upstairs, and his back looked a little joyful, very brisk.
“Xia Wan.”
Xia Wan had only taken two steps when he heard Huo Yu calling him from behind.
“Huh?” He came to a halt and turned his head, like a deer looking back, under the moon and stars.
“This is for you.” Huo Yu handed Xia Wan a folder.
“What is this?” Xia Wan was a little puzzled, he was holding the big box with both hands, so he did not reach out to take the folder.
“Agreement.” Huo Yu looked into Xia Wan’s eyes and said slowly, “A marriage agreement.”
The agreement is here!
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )

I love how bestie didn’t even give him the option to see the other agreement just handed him the marriage one 😂 he already knew he wanted Xiao Wan as the wifey.
What does it mean by Shen Yan and Wen Yunzhi love each other the most? Isn’t SY best friend of ML? And Wen Yunzhi birth mom of MC? 😵💫
There is mistake in this. Will check and redo it.
Hi, I have edited the whole chapter thanks for pointing out the mistake:)
