Although Su Mi had already guessed it, she still felt a pang in her heart when she heard what he said, and a warm wave of heat hit her. She hugged his neck on tiptoes and whispered in his ear:
"Second uncle, we definitely still have a lot of time."
He let her sway in his arms, took her wrist and teased: "This is in Dato's house, not our house, and you are not afraid of being seen?"
"If you see it, you will see it. I am now a legal Mrs. Huo. You can eat it if you want." She hung it around his neck but refused to let go. There was no one around anyway, and even kissed his lower lip.
After lingering for a while, she vaguely heard the footsteps of a servant passing by not far away. After all, she was not as shameless as him and let him go.
When Huo Shenxiu saw her lying in bed, he laughed and nuzzled her nose: "Weren't you ready to eat me just now, and now you are scared when you hear some noise?"
"Yeah, I'm not as thick-skinned as you." She snarled.
He pulled her into his arms, bent his head and neck, and kissed her cheek hard as punishment before giving up.
The sweet atmosphere calmed down a bit, and then he seemed to think of something: "Did Chengxun just ask you about Miao You?"
Su Mi's face moved slightly and she nodded: "Well, he asked me about Miao You's situation during his sentence. I said it was very good."
Huo Shenxiu looked at her: "You didn't tell him the truth?"
Su Mi shook her head and sighed: "I promised Miao You not to tell you."
Not long after Miao You was imprisoned, Su Mi, who had been paying attention to her, received the news——
Miao You changed his sentence from prison to serving his sentence outside prison.
The reason is...
Pregnant.
Su Mi was shocked at the time and told Huo Shenxiu afterwards.
At the same time, Miao You called.
She admitted that the child in her belly was Li Chengxun's.
But it was just an accident, and I wasn’t planning to stay, I would just throw it away.
She also hoped that Li Chengxun would not know about this accident, saying that she should pay back everything, and she had already made an agreement with Li Chengxun not to see each other again.
Su Mi and Huo Shenxiu respected her decision and didn't mention it further.
He originally wanted to find her and take care of her, but Miao You refused quite decisively.
Since then, the two of them have never seen Miao You again.
On the phone at that time, Miao You said that he would take his mother back to his hometown.
After all, he already has a criminal record in Tancheng, so it is not convenient to find a job, and people who know him will gossip about him.
After this incident, she wanted to live an ordinary life.
She also said that she had worked as Li Chengxun's secretary for so many years and had saved a lot of money to start a small business in her hometown, so it would be no problem.
Su Mi wanted to go to Miao You's hometown to find her and see her several times, but she knew that she wanted to say goodbye to the past completely and was afraid of disturbing her peaceful life.
In the end it didn't work out.
Therefore, when Li Chengxun asked Miao You just now, Su Mi didn't know how to answer.
But remembering Miao You's sincere request on the phone, hoping she wouldn't talk more about herself, she finally shut up.
At this moment, Huo Shenxiu felt a little uncomfortable when he asked: "Second uncle, do you think we should talk to Li Chengxun?"
Huo Shenxiu pondered for a moment and said: "Since you have agreed to Miao You, just keep your promise and respect her wishes. If Chengxun is serious, the two of them should see each other again one day."
**
More than two months later, the family of three returned to Tancheng.
At this time, Su Mi's belly started to show her pregnancy.
During the days leading up to the wedding, a lot of official duties accumulated.
The affairs of the Jin family were left to Li Chengxun to take care of. Huo Shenxiu did not have to travel between places so often and had a lot less things to do, but the affairs of the Huo Group still had to be taken care of.
Although Su Mi was supervising him and not allowing him to work too hard, Huo Shenxiu still handled company affairs for several days after he came back.
I spend most of my time in Huayuan, and during small class time I go to the company in person.
She knew that for a workaholic like him, this was already a great improvement, so she tried her best to make delicious nutritional supplements for him at home.
Perhaps because he was too busy at the wedding and had to deal with official duties after returning, Huo Shenxiu's headache broke out again that morning.
Although it wasn't too serious and she was much better after taking painkillers, Su Mi still didn't dare to neglect it. She was so frightened that she hurriedly contacted Gu Qingruo and went to check it out the next day.
Because of Huo Shenxiu's condition, Gu Qingruo is currently staying in Tancheng to take charge of it.
The next day, the two went to Santa Maria Private Hospital for a check-up, and it was confirmed that there was nothing serious. Su Mi was relieved.
Gu Qingruo said that it might be that she had been a little tired recently, which caused her headache. The brain tumor itself was growing at a good and stable rate recently.
However, for the sake of safety, it is still recommended to stay in hospital for a few days for recuperation.
Huo Shenxiu didn't want to be hospitalized.
However, Su Mi immediately asked Han Fei to go through the hospitalization procedures.
On the day he was admitted to the hospital, Su Mi stayed with him for a whole day.
It wasn't until evening that Huo Shenxiu insisted on letting Han Fei take her back to Huayuan.
She is pregnant herself, how can she continue to be in the hospital?
Besides, he was just recuperating now, his body was fine, and he didn't need her care.
Su Mi acted coquettishly and pestered him to no avail. In the end, she still looked at him helplessly and was escorted away by Han Fei.
…
In the evening, Su Mi told little Subao a story, simmered a soup she had just learned recently, and went to bed early.
She wanted to get up early and go to the hospital tomorrow.
Early the next morning, she got up at dawn.
Because of her pregnancy, little Subao was sent to kindergarten by the servant every day.
When Sister He saw her coming, she ran to the kitchen to watch the soup. She felt distressed and said, "I'll just watch. You go and get some more sleep. Don't forget that you are pregnant too."
Housekeeper He and Sister He also knew about the second master's illness, so they naturally became more careful in their daily lives.
Su Mi signaled that it was okay: "I know."
This is not her first pregnancy.
When I was pregnant with baby Su, I went through even more difficult days alone.
How could you not know how to take care of yourself now?
As soon as she opened the lid, the rich and delicious smell of the soup hit her face. She took a small sip with a spoon before pouring it into the thermos.
Sister He saw that she was going to the hospital and called the driver.
The second master had told her that Su Mi was pregnant at the moment and was not allowed to drive when traveling.
Su Mi was carrying a thermos bottle and was accompanied by Sister He. She was about to go out when she saw Butler He walking over with a mobile phone and something looked wrong on his face.
Sister He asked: "What's wrong?"
Butler He handed the phone to Su Mi: "The news I just saw."
Su Mi took it and looked frozen.
News spread online: The chairman of Huo's Group is seriously ill and is currently admitted to a private hospital owned by Huo's.
Rumors are rife in the comment section, there are countless suspicions, and there are different opinions.
Sister He also saw it, and her expression suddenly changed: "How did this matter get spread outside?"
Su Mi was also silent.
Except for those very close to me, no one knew about my uncle's illness.
The servants here in Huayuan are quite strict. They are usually managed reliably by Butler He and will not let anyone out casually.
Thinking of this, she walked aside and called Han Fei to mention the matter.
When Han Fei saw that she knew, he said directly:
"Currently, Huo's senior management, shareholders, partners, and suppliers are constantly calling to inquire about the second master's illness. In addition-"
