Huo Yanqing frowned. How could he have forgotten to remind Shen Tingxi? "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Xiaoxi said that you two are already together. Are you still trying to lie to me?"
"I'm not lying to you …"
"Little Five, your father and brothers passed away when you were young. You and Xiao Bai are the only two males in our Family Huo. Xiao Bai is still young and I definitely can't wait for him to get married and have children. You're already 28 years old and you're still single. When I die, I won't have the face to face the ancestors of our Family Huo …"
Huo Yanqing massaged his temples as he listened to the fake sobbing on the other end of the line. He sighed and said helplessly, "Yes, I have a girlfriend."
"Really?" The voice on the other end of the line suddenly became extremely loud and clear. There was no trace of the sobbing just now.
"Yes."
"When are you going to bring her home for me to see?"
"Let's wait a little longer. She's still young …"
"But I'm already old. Do you want me to die without even seeing my daughter-in-law?"
"You're in good health. You'll definitely be able to see her."
"Recently, my chest often feels stuffy in the middle of the night. Sometimes, I can't even breathe …" The voice on the other end of the line sounded again. "I must be sick. If this goes on, I'm afraid …"
"I'll bring her to see you as soon as possible." Huo Yanqing interrupted the other party who was about to curse him.
"How long is' as soon as possible '? My body … "
"Mother, that's too much."
An awkward cough could be heard from the other end of the line. After a while, the coughing stopped. "I'll wait then. Don't make me wait too long. Otherwise, I'll …"
"Don't check up on her. I'm not happy."
"… Alright, I'll just wait. Will that do?"
"Okay."
"Little Five, if you're really filial, hurry up and bring her to me. I'm not picky. As long as it's your choice, she'll definitely be the best. I just want to see my daughter-in-law. Will that do?" The voice on the other end of the line was almost begging.
"Okay."
Huo Yanqing hung up the phone and the car fell into silence.
Shuxin didn't know what the woman said, but from Huo Yanqing's response, she knew that the woman was his mother.
Also, he said that he had a girlfriend, and his mother wanted him to bring her home to meet his parents as soon as possible.
And that sentence, "Don't investigate her, I'm not happy."
His words were full of affection.
Shuxin felt terrible, as if she had been pricked by a needle. There was no blood flowing out, but the pain had already penetrated her heart.
Along the way, Shuxin tried her best to hide her emotions, but Song Li still noticed that something was wrong.
Song Li asked, "Miss Shu, you don't look too good. Are you feeling unwell?"
Shuxin forced herself to smile. "I'm fine. Maybe I haven't rested well these past few days. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
Huo Yanqing frowned slightly. "Do you want to sleep in the car for a while?"
She didn't know why, but when she heard Huo Yanqing's words of concern, Shuxin felt even worse. She even felt a faint sense of anger. Since he already had a sweetheart, why was he still so nice to her?
Shuxin didn't say anything. She turned her body in a fit of pique and turned her back to Huo Yanqing.
Huo Yanqing didn't hear a reply, so he called out softly, "Xin 'er …"
Shuxin closed her eyes and didn't say anything.
Song Li glanced at Shuxin through the rearview mirror and said in a low voice, "The Fifth Lord, Miss Shu is asleep."
They didn't speak for the rest of the journey.
The car stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood that Shuxin and Tong Qiao rented.
Shuxin opened her eyes and turned to Huo Yanqing. "Thank you, Fifth Uncle. I'm here. I'll get off now."
