Chapter 710 Zhang Chongguang, do you want to force me again?
oked up when she heard footsteps, then froze.She had never seen such a gallant and noble man!That air of elegance and grace, juxtaposed against her current state, made her appear incredibly awkward. I...Zhang Chongguang finished his instructions, and the maid was just about to go to the kitchen when Huo Xi spoke in a soft voice: "No need! Just prepare what the master needs."
The lights were dim, Zhang Chongguang stared at his wife.
For a moment he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a downward motion of his lighter, inhaled deeply, and then asked: "After I've been gone for a week, is this all you have to say to me"
He Xi smiled faintly: "I think everything I want to say to you is in the agreement."
Zhang Chongguang held his cigarette between his fingers, his hand trembling slightly before he took a deep drag. His cheeks sank in deeply as he inhaled, giving him a certain charm that only a man of his age could possess.
He glared at her with icy eyes.
He said, "If you want to talk about this, we should have dinner together."
Huo Xi wore a serene expression. She leaned towards the maid and whispered, "Do as Master said, prepare two bowls of noodles."
The servant just now did not dare to breathe out loud.
The husband and wife were arguing, it was difficult for their servants to be around. At this moment, the mistress relented, a sense of relief washing over her. She quickly said, "I'll go down right away."
Zhang Chongguang said calmly, "Put in two eggs and some greens."
The maid sighed and left.
In the vast hall, only the two of them remained, a heavy silence hanging in the air. Zhang Chongguang, cigarette between his teeth, walked to the dining area and sat down. Under the crystal chandelier, his black hair fell across his forehead, giving him a rather dejected look.
He pulled out the chair next to him and said softly, “Have a seat!”
Huo Xi really didn't want to argue with him, and she didn't want to wake up the children. She walked over and sat down, intending to take out her phone and browse for a bit, but Zhang Chongguang spoke first: "Where are Mianmian and Ruirui"
"When I was doing my homework, I told them to come down."
"Let's eat noodles first!"
Zhang Chongguang extinguished his cigarette and fixed his gaze on Huo Xi's face. He said softly, "It's the weekend tomorrow. Let's take the children to have a meal at our parents' place. It's been a long time."
Hawsey frowned slightly. She was about to say something when the maid brought the tray over.
The maid, being astute, sensed the tension in the air and purposefully livened things up. "The eggs are pearly white and tender today," she chirped, "and the greens are a vibrant emerald green. Please do enjoy them, sir and madam!"
With the servant present, the couple paused.
Ho Xi smiled faintly.
Zhang Chongguang leaned back in his chair, picked up his chopsticks and gently stirred the two poached eggs, a light smile playing on his lips: "Just an egg, and you add all these words. Where did you learn that, Lin"
Lin Sao's old face flushed.
She patted her apron and said, "Eat slowly, Mr. and Mrs."
Zhang Chongguang saw her off, and after she left, he said to Huo Xi: "Eat! ... Eat as much as you can, and I'll finish the rest for you."
He was a little dazed.
When Zhang Chongguang was young, he was growing rapidly. He ate a lot, and anything Huo Xi didn't want to eat or couldn't finish could be packed up for him to deal with.
Many years have passed, they had long since abandoned this habit. Now that he brought it up again, it was nothing more than an attempt to evoke old feelings and keep her from divorcing him.
But what if he doesn't want a divorce What does it matter what Song Yun thinks then
Huo Xi was too lazy to even think about it, so she whispered, "Zhang Chongguang, children are impossible for you. Do you have any other conditions you can offer What would it take for you to sign this"
Zhang Chongguang was eating noodles with his head down.
He bit into a boiled egg, which was indeed both white and tender. However, he ate it without any taste. He slowly swallowed the egg, looking at the remaining half of the yolk, and said very softly, "Today is my birthday! Mrs. Zhang, you probably don't remember... I know you can't wait to get a divorce, but at least stay with me and finish this bowl of noodles. Even if we break up, we should have a farewell meal, right Besides, we are different from ordinary couples. Even after the divorce, we will never completely stop communicating, wouldn't you agree"
Ho Xi was taken aback.
His birthday……
Zhang Chongguang saw her expression and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "As expected, you've forgotten! In your heart, there's probably only his death anniversary left."
Ho Xi pursed her lips: "Isn't it your birthday Don't mention it."
Zhang Chongguang stared at her: "Do you still care about me"
Huo Xi didn't answer. She lowered her head, picked out a piece of vegetable and ate it slowly, then an egg. She only ate half the noodles, and Zhang Chongguang took the rest and finished them.
After dinner, she was about to speak when Zhang Chongguang got up and said, "I'm going to check on the children."
Ho Xi called out to him, "Zhang Chongguang, let's talk about the agreement."
The other person had already walked to the stairs and, upon hearing this, turned around to look at Huo Xi intently. "Is it really necessary for you to repeatedly bring up divorce on my birthday"
Huo Xi helplessly said, “Alright! Let’s talk about it another day.”
……
Zhang Chongguang went upstairs and went straight to the study.
Two little kids are both focused on their homework. Ho-xi taught them well; they know their dad is back but neither of them runs downstairs. Instead, they obediently finish their homework first.
Zhang Chongguang pushed the door open, Huo Mianmian happily called out, and pounced over: "Dad!"
... Xiao Zhangrui, who has always been low-key, even with his pursed lips slightly raised, clearly looked very happy. ...
Zhang Chongguang bent down and picked up Mianmian.
Ho Mianmian was a reserved little girl. She only hugged her father for a short while before shyly saying, "I have to do my homework!"
Zhang Chongguang patted her little head and put her down.
Then he walked behind his son and took a look at his homework. Zhang Rui's grades were much better than Mianmian's. Zhang Chongguang didn't mind, after all, boys are supposed to take over the family business, while daughters can be pampered and cherished.
Knowing his father was behind him, Xiao Zhangrui became particularly restrained.
Zhang Chongguang felt that his son resembled him, but also didn't resemble him. His son's background was far superior to his own... He bore the surname Zhang, but he was also a child of the Huo family.
< Huo Mianmian finishes her homework first. >
Zhang Chongguang saw that she still had some recitation left to finish. As a father, he pretended not to notice and accompanied his little daughter as they looked at a few pages of an extracurricular book...
Under the lamplight, Xiao Zhangrui was extremely focused.
Huo Mianmian leaned against her father's side, her big watery eyes fixed on him. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Dad, will you and Mom get divorced Will Zhang Rui and I break up, just like the kids in our class, one following Dad and one following Mom"
Zhang Chongguang was taken aback, and then he looked at Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui's face was tense, obviously knowing about this too.
Zhang Chongguang pressed his little daughter's shoulder and asked seriously, "Who told you that"
Huo Mianmian refused to say at first, her delicate little face was about to cry. After a while, she whispered: "I heard the maids in the house talking secretly. They said that my parents are cold-warring and might split up anytime soon. They are worried about losing their jobs and have already thought about finding new homes."
Mianmian bit her red lips and asked, "Daddy, what does 'next house' mean"
Zhang Chongguang listened with heartache.
He stroked his little daughter's black hair, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mommy and Daddy won't get divorced! We will watch Mianmian and Ruirui grow up together."
Now, everything is okay. Dad never lies.
Little Zhang Rui, who had been silent all along, finally relaxed his tense face. He let go of his hands that were clutching his trousers, and continued to do his homework. After finishing it, he even taught himself computer programming. past twenty years combined, so much that he could barely contain it. However, that intense feeling, though surging within him, eventually subsided after the physical collision, leaving only a quiet c...
