After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

She said with certainty every word, "Just like my mother, I was still very young when she passed away, but I can imagine that your mother must have felt the same as my mother at that time."

She looked seriously into his eyes, "She must want you to live well, and get better and better, so you didn't choose revenge. In fact, you were fulfilling her wish. After all, you are her only child."

The turbulent emotions in Han Xiao's eyes slowly subsided.

For some reason, when he saw her eyes, he felt inexplicably quiet and trusting.

There was a voice in his heart telling him that this woman was trustworthy, that he could trust her and tell her everything.

but……

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was deep peace.

"You are quite good at comforting people. Have you learned this before?"

Hearing the man teasing her like this, Xia Taozhi knew that he had gotten over the inner demons just now, and he breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "That's not true, it's just personal experience and a little bit of self-feeling."

"Come on, we can go back."

"Then Huo Qing..."

"He has parents and a fiancée by his side. I've done what I should do as a friend. Why should I stay?"

He clasped her wrist tightly with his big hands, "I can't see that you are still so bad-hearted."

Hearing his ridicule, Xia Taozhi's face turned red: "I'm afraid you'll be in trouble. To put it bluntly, what does this matter have to do with me?"

"Ha...a duplicitous woman."

Xia Taozhi:......

They left while bickering, and she didn't even notice that not far behind them, Bai Xue stared at their backs with cold eyes.

a few days later.

In the ward, Huo Qing has just finished his dangerous observation period.

Mrs. Huo's eyes were red and she stayed at her son's bedside, refusing to leave despite her husband's persuasion.

"I must see my Qing'er wake up, otherwise I won't leave." Mrs. Huo insisted.

Just as Bai Xue was about to walk out of the ward to fetch water, Mrs. Huo glanced over with cold eyes: "You stay with me too, and you are not allowed to leave even a step. My son saved you, and it is only natural that you work for him even now."

"Auntie, I just want to prepare some hot water for you." Bai Xue explained.

"Huh, this is a VIP ward. Do you think no one will do such a small thing?" She snorted coldly, "Stop using your mother's tricks to show your courtesy in front of me. After all, she is the nanny's daughter. If she can't be on the stage, she will be on the stage. Can’t reach the countertop.”

Bai Xue lowered her head and gritted her teeth.

Mr. Huo couldn't bear to listen: "You should say less."

"Why should I say less? If it weren't for your connivance, how could our young child be with her? Bah, don't think I don't know. Han Xiao was with her just to cover up some scandal. I really thought that with Mr. Han Where is your childhood sweetheart?"

Mrs. Huo stared.

Such a big thing happened to her son. Now she doesn't like Bai Xue no matter how she looks at him. She talks about everything she can and cannot say.

"Okay." Mr. Huo said anxiously, "Shut up, or you might be overheard and make us angry."

Mrs. Huo became more awake now, her eyes flickered uneasily, and she still said harshly: "What's wrong with me... Did I say anything wrong?"

Bai Xue's pretty face turned pale.

How did the Huo family's parents know...

Even Huo Qing didn't know about this secret. Only she, Han Xiao and the Han family knew...

There was a clammy feeling in the palm of his hand, and Bai Xue's heart started to tremble.

Mrs. Huo finally stopped talking: "Stop talking about this, go and pack Qing'er's things quickly. You are his fiancée now. You cannot leave these things to the caregiver. You have to do it yourself."

"it is good."

Seeing that Bai Xue was obedient, Mrs. Huo felt relieved.

Huo Qing is still lucky. The worst situation has not happened to him. He does not need amputation. As long as he rests and recovers, he can be the same as before.

After hearing the news, Xia Taozhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her covering her heart and looking relaxed, Han Xiao found it funny and deliberately made a serious face: "I can't tell you really care about Huo Qing."

Xia Taozhi looked serious: "I'm not worried about Huo Qing, I'm worried about you. If Huo Qing has any shortcomings, his mother will definitely not let everyone involved in this matter go. I know you are not afraid of her, but like this Isn’t it very troublesome?”

The little woman shook her head seriously, "It would be nice to have one less thing to worry about. Isn't it worth celebrating?"

Han Xiao lowered his eyelids unnaturally and gently touched the tip of his nose.

Unexpectedly, she was relieved because of him.

I wanted to tease her, but I was moved for no reason.

This Xia Taozhi... also said that he didn't know how to flirt.

He was almost unable to withstand the various attacks.

At this time, the hospital called, and Xia Taozhi jumped down from the sofa in surprise: "My dad is completely awake? Okay, I'll come over now!"

She was so anxious that she didn't even bother to put on her slippers, and ran out the door with bare feet.

The man had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her: "Why are you panicking? Put on your shoes, get your bag, and I'll take you to the hospital."

"Okay." She looked back excitedly, holding his arm affectionately and shaking it for a while, "You are so kind, Han Xiao, why are you so kind!"

The little woman inadvertently pressed her chest against his solid muscles.

Although it only lasted for a second or two, it was enough to make his mind wander.

By the time he came to his senses, Xia Taozhi had already rushed upstairs like a gust of wind, changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and went downstairs to wait at the door.

He had no choice but to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and said to her in a confused way while driving: "I will settle the score with you when I get back."

Xia Taozhi:? ? ?

I have no idea what this boss is talking about.

But it doesn't matter, the most important thing right now is Dad.

When she rushed to the hospital, Xia Taozhi saw her father holding on to the handrail and practicing walking alone to regain muscle strength. She rushed over without putting down what she was holding.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

Xia Mingcheng smiled lovingly at her: "Taotao, my Taotao has grown so big."

In one sentence, success made her eyes wet.

Her father lay in bed for many years, and she was forced to grow from a girl hiding at home to an adult who can take charge of her own life.

These growths have carried too many tears and difficulties.

Thinking about it now, all these sacrifices and hardships are nothing if she can wait until her father wakes up and can be by her side again.

She blinked her eyes and forced back tears: "Of course, you haven't been with me for several years. Don't I have to grow up and become smaller?"

"Haha, I wish I could go back to when Taotao was little."

Xia Mingcheng's tone darkened, "It's dad... I'm sorry for you. You have suffered a lot over the years."

His warm palm caressed his daughter's cheek, his eyes full of guilt and heartache.

"Stop saying that, this is what I should do."

The father and daughter chatted affectionately for a long time, and Xia Mingcheng finally remembered something: "By the way, where is your mother? I mean... where is your Aunt Jiang?"
