Chapter 554: I Want the Custody of Huo Mian

out to pick it up.But when she flipped it over, she had some regrets. It was actually a photo frame, with a picture Wen Man had seen before—24-year-old Ho Shao-ting and 22-year-old Qiao An.Wen Man loo...After Zhang Chongguang finished speaking, he seemed to be about to leave.

Although he had only been with them for a short time, the spotted puppy still recognized him and whined insistently, wanting to go with him.

Jumping down from Mianmian, it scurried onto Zhang Chuangguang.

Zhang Chongguang picked it up with one hand, stroked its fur with his fingers, and then kissed Mianmian.

His eyes held a touch of tenderness: "Take good care of it!"

vaguely understanding.

But she also spoke like a kitten: "Thank you, Uncle!"

Zhang Chongguang looked at that little face, he so much wanted to tell her, he was her father, not some uncle.

But the sight of Bai Qi and Huo Xi standing side by side, it hurt him.

He still hurried out of the bedroom.

As I went downstairs and left the main villa, I saw only a sliver of sunset on the horizon.

The sky was ablaze with gold.

It wasn't until he came to a stop that Zhang Chongguang felt a tightness in his chest, his heart pounding wildly. ... He pulled out a white cigarette and trembling fingers lit it.

Wen Man walked slowly towards him: “Chongguang!”

She softly called his name, and when she saw his expression, she couldn't help but advise: "Didn't the doctor say last time that you need to smoke less for your lungs"

Zhang Chongguang smiled faintly: "I couldn't help it for a moment."

Even though he said that, he still put out the cigarette.

Wen Man pondered for a moment, but ultimately decided to say nothing. She simply offered some advice about everyday life, just like any ordinary parent would.

Zhang Chongguang's eyes welled up: "Mom, I understand."

Wen Man gazed at him, and finally walked forward, smoothing the collar of his shirt: "Come back for dinner in a couple of days."

Zhang Chongguang was just about to speak when Huo Xi came out.

Wen Man turned back, looking at her daughter, guessing that they also had something to say.

She's really done for!

If Huo Xi were to return alone, she and Shaoting could still maneuver between the two. But now Bai Qi is coming back with her, and the way they look at each other is ambiguous, unlike before.

It's awkward for them to interfere when it comes to their elders.

Many years passed, Wen Man was still as gentle as before: "You guys talk, I'll go see Mianmian."

……

The parking lot was left with just the two of them, the setting sun swallowed whole by the horizon, the last sliver of gold disappearing into the twilight.

The gloom cast deep shadows, obscuring their faces in an air of mystery.

Huo Xi looked at the horizon, silently, without speaking first.

Zhang Chongguang looked at her, his eyes filled with struggle and confusion. He couldn't understand why she had loved him so much back then, but now she could be so indifferent to him and be with another man, raising their children together.

"Huo Xi, do you have a heart at all"

Hoxi brought his gaze back to fall upon his face.

Zhang Chongguang lit another cigarette and after taking a few puffs, he looked at her intently. His voice was hoarse and sounded unfamiliar: "I... I can... forget about these past few years!"

To utter these words would exhaust all a man's pride.

Three years ago, he was engaged to Huo Xi. Over the past few years, she has been with Bai Qi day and night, like his own wife being with someone else. He didn't want to think about whether they had ever had an intimate relationship, or how many times... Just thinking about it made him unbearable.

But in the end, he still compromised. He told her... let it go!

A long silence hung between them.

For a long time, Huo Xi finally spoke: "Zhang Chongguang, do you know what you're saying"

Of course he knew.

Ho Xi lowered her eyes: "Unfortunately, I don't want to! The past is the past!"

She turned and left, but Zhang Chongguang called after her.

He said, "Hosei, then let's talk about custody."

Huo Xi abruptly turned his head.

Zhang Chongguang was smoking, his slender fingers holding a thin cigarette. He squinted his eyes slightly, looking quite captivating.

But in her eyes, it was utterly detestable.

"Do you want continuing custody"

"Yes!"

Ho Xi smiled faintly and walked a few steps forward, getting so close to him that he could almost smell the scent of her shower gel - fresh and clean.

That's how Qingyu came to be.

The longer she was gone, the longer his body remained idle.

Even when solving it himself, he hardly ever did.

Ho Xi didn't know what to say. She walked closer to him and whispered, "All you contributed were just a few seconds! Were you the one in pain Were you the one who stayed up late making milk for her Or were you the one who held her when she had a fever in the middle of the night and took her to the hospital"

"Zhang Chongguang, that's not you!"

What gives you the right to be clingy

……

For a moment, when she accused him, he wanted to retort.

He wanted to say that if you didn't leave, he would always be by your side.

But he thought, what's the use of saying anything, she wouldn't listen because she hates him!

"Because I'm her father! Because I'm despicable and shameless, because I am the kind of person who is willing to give a little to get a lot without any shame! Is this answer satisfactory"

Ho Xi stared at him.

Zhang Chongguang took a step back, flicked his cigarette out, and said in a calm voice: "You should know that now I'm capable of vying with the Huo family! I don't care what you call me, at most it's just a heartless man, a white-eyed wolf! Sue me, Huo Xi, if you want to. I want Mianmian, of course you can also choose not to sue and bring her back to my side."

He even sadly thought, as long as she returned to his side, he wouldn't mention Bai Qi at all.

Huoxi lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Fine! Let's take this to court!"

She said that and walked away.

"Do you love him" Zhang Chongguang's tightly-wound voice came from behind after he walked a few meters.

Huoxi didn't even pause, leaving.

Zhang Chongguang stood in the twilight, watching her back.

For a moment, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked up at the third floor.

On the third floor, Bai Qi stood on the balcony, a white shirt and slightly faded light blue jeans... Looking young and clean, but also with a hint of mature charm.

Zhang Chongguang's original firm belief had been shaken.

He had previously thought, Ho Xi loved him deeply and would never fall in love with anyone else for the rest of his life.

Even if she were with Bai Qi, it would be considered settling.

But Bai Qi in the twilight, surprisingly held one's gaze and evoked a sense of pity.

In contrast, Zhang Chongguang was filled with a menacing air and reeked of avarice.

He wasn't so confident this time!

After looking for a long time, he opened the car door and got in, still driving away...

Hawsey slowly climbed the stairs.

Bai Qi heard the footsteps and turned his head back. Looking at her, Huo Xi whispered softly: "It went very smoothly! As long as... we find a suitable opportunity to be alone."

Bai Qi remained silent, for no man could be unaffected by such sorrow.

Hoshi probably wasn't feeling comfortable either, so she didn't bring it up again. She went back to the bedroom and saw Mianmian holding the puppy, absolutely smitten with it.

I only knew the puppy's name was Xiaoguang when I asked.

She thought: Zhang Chongguang must be doing this on purpose, right!

Zhang Chongguang didn't immediately want to sue Huo Xi. In the dispute over the child, he patiently waited as custody of children under three years old generally goes to the mother.

But, as we all live in city B, we'll inevitably bump into each other occasionally.

Sometimes you'll run into him at the Huo household, sometimes outside. Huo Xi is back at the law firm and when he attends social events, he inevitably meets Zhang Chongguang... He always has women around him, clearly high-profile second or third-tier actresses. I don't know if it's to spite Huo Xi or what, but he's definitely making a show of it.

Huo Xi was too lazy to bother.

That day, she signed documents at the law firm. She had barely touched the business for the past three years.

Things have been busy lately.

The secretary knocked on the door: "Mr. Huo... Mr. Zhang is looking for you."

Ho Xi put down the pen in his hand and raised his eyes: "Zhang Chongguang"

The secretary knew about their relationship, and besides, with Zhang's status, she couldn't just blurt out his name. She smiled and nodded instead.

Ho Xi lowered her head again: "Let him come in!"

The secretary went to call someone, and surprisingly, when Zhang Chongguang came in, he wasn't alone. He was accompanied by a female star.

Last week, I even accompanied him to a social event and we were featured in the newspaper, causing quite a stir.

As soon as he walked in, he observed how Hsi reacted.

However, Huo Xi only glanced at them before looking back down at the file and casually asking, "Are you here to draft a prenuptial agreement"

The female celebrity was a bit uneasy. She had come here wanting to marry him, but Mr. Zhang didn't seem interested at all!

She was just there for the money.

Zhang Chongguang leaned against the sofa. His secretary poured him a cup of coffee, which he took a sip after and said nonchalantly, "No! I'm here to ask about your decision."

Huo Xi put down the files in her hands and looked at him, before squeezing out a sentence after a long silence: "Zhang Zong is really sincere! Bringing a woman here to ask me if I'm willing to be with you How come, after having a child, have I become so cheap in your eyes Is that it Nobody wants me anymore"

Of course not...

Zhang Chongguang looked at Huo Xi, he was almost on fire.

She has given birth, but she is even more feminine than before. You can't tell at the moment because she is wearing a business suit, but in our previous meetings, she wore dresses that clung to her curves and were incredibly soft and alluring.

He craves her...

His voice was a little gravelly: "Your decision"

Huo Xi started looking at his files again and said lightly, "Didn't I say Sue them!"

Her voice was incredibly soft and gentle.

Compared to the stiffness of that day, it was much better. Although it was a refusal, it sounded much more comfortable.

Zhang Chongguang even felt that she was seducing him.

He stared at her, and the starlet beside him wisely excused herself.

Huo Xi looked up at the closed door and smiled lightly. "Naive!"

These two words, it seems, brought them closer together.

Zhang Chongguang walked over and locked the door. He paced slowly until he reached her desk, leaning against it halfway. His height blocked her view completely.

Ho Xi had to look up at him.

Zhang Chongguang leaned his upper body slightly forward, his voice hoarse and strained: "Hoxie, I feel like you're flirting with me! How come Baiqi is useless Not satisfying enough for you"to glance at Wen Man from afar, afraid she would feel disgusted.Qiao Jingqi's qi and blood surged, attacking his heart. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, the bloodstain slowly dripping from...
