one and standing under Gu Changqing."Well! I'll head back to the main house first. Around five o'clock, I'll come pick you up!""Please pack your luggage first."……Gu Changqing was tense, he knew Wen Ma...Zhang Chongguang knew what she was worried about, and his tone became softer: "I'm fine."

Qin's secretary said in a soothing voice, "If you're still not feeling well in two days, you should at least listen to the doctor."

This time, Zhang Chongguang didn't insist and simply hummed in agreement.

He was supposed to go get an IV drip, but he was afraid that once Huo Xi finished his examination, he wouldn't see him, so he stayed here waiting... Qin Secretary knew about his anxiety and just kept her temper down and waited with him.

Occasionally Zhang Chongguang would cough a few times.

Qin the secretary poured him a cup of hot water and also handed him some anti-inflammatory tablets; "Eat a few to ease the pain, it's always best not to hold it in."

Zhang Chongguang took it over and bit into it.

Qin's secretary felt a bit relieved and whispered some work matters to him. She was professional and reliable in her work, and Zhang Chongguang trusted her very much.

Outside, the beautiful PR manager had been waiting for ages. She saw Zhang Chongguang still sitting in the VIP lounge.

She couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Today's luncheon was her first public appearance since taking office. She took it very seriously and wanted to restore her professional image in front of Zhang Chongguang, so she walked in and said lightly: "Mr. Zhang, how about we just get an IV drip first Lunch is quite important, I can contact Lawyer Huo later."

After she finished speaking, she waited quietly for Zhang Chongguang's instructions.

She thought Zhang would know his limits and understand the importance of things. His ex-wife and career, he knew how to choose.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Chongguang continued sipping his tea leisurely.

Qin, his secretary, knew him best. She immediately understood that this ambitious female manager was beyond saving. Sure enough, when Zhang Chongguang put down his cup, he casually said, "Manager Xu, you should head back to the company first!"

The PR manager was taken aback: "Mr. Zhang, about the lunchtime banquet…"

Zhang Chongguang didn't say anything, he just looked at Qin the secretary.

Qin's secretary understood his meaning and directly said: "Let's go back to the company first! Ms. Xu is very sorry, your internship period has not been passed."

He was never truly satisfied.

She found a way to get Qin's secretary out, lowering her posture. "Qin's secretary, have I done something wrong I think my work ability is capable of handling this job, Zhang is just too heartless."

Secretary Qin was just away.

But what she just said has already revealed enough. She hesitated for a moment before hinting: "Mr. Zhang's problem is Mr. Huo, Ms. Xu, you overstepped your boundaries, you shouldn't have spoken those words... I think you probably also did something out of line earlier, otherwise, Mr. Zhang, who has always valued talent, wouldn't have made this decision."

She was extremely regretful and wanted to make amends.

Qin's secretary gently said, "It's impossible! While there might be room for maneuver in other matters, this one is practically impossible."

After seeing the guest off, Qin Secretary sat down next to Zhang Chongguang again.

She's her boss's confidante, so there are still some things you can ask: "Did you just run into Lawyer Huo"

Zhang Chongguang fixed his eyes on the outside, and hummed softly.

He was willing to say more for a moment: "She came to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. An ultrasound will be done in a while, and I'll go and give her an IV after I see the results."

Qin's secretary, knowing him well, said in a soothing voice: “Then let's take a look first.”

The two sat in silence for about 20 minutes. Huo Xi's assistant then came over and handed them a photocopy of an ultrasound: "Mr. Zhang, this was brought to me by Mr. Huo."

She put down the ultrasound report and was about to leave when Zhang Chongguang called out to her: "Where is Huo Xi"

The assistant smiled faintly: “Mr. Huo has already left the hospital.”

Zhang Chongguang couldn't help but feel disappointed.

He lowered his head to look at the ultrasound report. The baby was too small and even a color ultrasound couldn't show much, but the conclusion stated that the child was doing well and was almost 10 weeks old.

He read the two lines on the note over and over again, at least ten times.

By the time he came to, Huo Xi's assistant had already left. Qin, his secretary, softly said, "The child is quite good! Zhang Zong, shall we go get an IV"

Zhang Chongguang carefully folded the slip of paper and put it cautiously into his pocket.

After finishing the drip, it was almost noon, and he went straight to the lunch banquet.

This dinner gathering was quite important. Zhang Chongguang, even though he was sick, still managed to drink half a catty of white liquor... After the meal, his face turned pale from drinking. He leaned on the sink in the restroom for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Qin the secretary was quite worried: "Why are you doing this You don't need this project."

Zhang Chongguang took a few moments to collect himself, then turned on the golden faucet and splashed cold water on his face. After drying his hands with a tissue, he said softly, "It's fine if I earn a little less, but this project has kept the development department busy for two years, before and after. To just say it's over now... how can I possibly convince others"

Qin's secretary handed over the liquor and medicine to Li.

Zhang Chongguang waved his hand and said, "No need! I can still hold on. Tomorrow you make an appointment with Mr. Wang for me, take advantage of the opportunity to sign the letter of intent, I'm afraid that dreams will multiply at night."

Qin's secretary nodded.

She half-supported Zhang Chongguang out of the Business Hotel. She didn't want to run into Huo Xi again on the first floor. Huo Xi was sitting in the open-style cafe on the first floor talking business with someone. When he saw Zhang Chongguang, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Their eyes met, the atmosphere thick with unspoken tension.

Huo Xi turned her face away first and continued talking to the other person, but the other person was even more distracted. They asked, "Lawyer Huo, why don't we end our conversation for today You have personal matters to attend to."

Ho Xi wanted to say he had no personal matters, but the person had already run away.

She could only slowly drink the remaining half cup of milk, and when she stood up, she found Zhang Chongguang was still standing there, still staring at her intently, as if waiting for her to speak.

Huoxi knew that, being in the same city (B City), it was inevitable to meet someday.

But such frequency was excessive, luckily Zhang Chongguang didn't say those words again. He just softly said: "Pay attention to your rest while you're pregnant."

Ho-xi smiled faintly.

Zhang Chongguang paused for about 10 seconds, looking at her with deep eyes: "If you need it, I can accompany you to prenatal checkups."

He never got a response from her, so he finally said to Qin, his secretary, "Let's head back to the company."

He left first, Qin the secretary following closely behind.

Hoxi stood under the crystal chandelier in the hotel lobby. For a long time, she reached out and gently stroked her flat stomach.

This is Zhang Chongguang's child.

This child, in exchange for her freedom, severed their ties completely.

……

In a flash, the Lunar New Year is approaching, and the Huo household is bustling with activity.

The whole family gathered together.

"I don't know if it was the servant being careless, but they actually put out an extra pair of chopsticks and bowls. Huo Shaoting spotted it first and quietly told the servant to take them away. The servant didn't seem to remember anything and blurted out, “This is Young Master Chongguang’s seat!” "

Once that was said, the festive atmosphere faded a bit.

The Huo family was worried that Huo Xi would be upset, but before they could console him, Huo Xi calmly said, "He won't be back for the New Year's Eve dinner this year. Just take it away! Next year, with the child born, we'll need more sets of chopsticks and bowls anyway."

Although she was able to keep her spirits up, Huo Shaoting was still comforted.

Soon, the conversation took a different turn, and the atmosphere became lively again.

After the reunion dinner, Huo Xi chatted with An Ran and a few others for a while before going upstairs.

She stealthily took two apples upstairs and placed them near him. Carefully pushing open the bedroom door, she saw her mother lying on a very comfortable reclining chair, gently caressing her belly.o Ting...He's so shameless!Wen Man's face was hot, but he leaned closer, putting his entire weight on her shoulder: "Wen Man, I don't believe you're not moved."Yes, Wen Man is moved.But she always fel...
