The other two children were very happy when they saw this scene, especially Huo Yin. After he heard his brother said that he was going to eat, he ran down and told Aunt Wang first.

As soon as the news spread, the atmosphere in the villa relaxed a lot.

After the child was settled, Wen Xuxu saw that it was getting late, so she wanted to come down to help Sister Wang cook.

But she never thought that when she came down, she found out that after so long, the old man downstairs hadn't left, but was sitting alone on the sofa watching the news broadcast on TV while drinking tea.

Is he... waiting for her?

Wen Xuxu suddenly felt uncomfortable again.

There was even a trace of unease.

Regarding the matter of the Sun family, there has been no movement in the old mansion, and it is impossible that no news has been passed on. So, is it because of this that he is still not leaving?

"Is the child okay? Come and sit down then."

Sure enough, after seeing her finally coming down, the old man who had already drank several pots of tea in the living room waved to her gently.

Wen Xuxu froze, and in the end, she passed.

"Sit down, you haven't made tea for me for a long time. This is the Shan Cong I brought from over there, a special product from your Wen family's hometown. Cook it and let us taste it together."

The old man took a tin of tea from the coffee table and handed it to Wen Xuxu.

Wen Xuxu: "..."

For a split second, the tip of her nose swelled with sourness, which made her eyes turn a little red.

Shan Cong, he still remembers this.

She twisted her pale fingers and sat down beside him for a while, then temporarily forgot what she told herself at the Chi family birthday banquet that day, and began to make tea as usual.

"I heard that your father is doing very well in prison, and his sentence was commuted recently."

"Really?"

The sudden good news broke Wen Xuxu's silence. She raised her head and looked at the old man in surprise.

Dad got a commutation?

That's great, their father and daughter will be reunited soon.

"Well, minus three years, plus six years of sitting, that's nine years. After all, you'll be able to see your father in one more year."

The old man seemed to be in a good mood too.

Wen Xuxu was stunned.

ten years?

Didn't you say fifteen years ago? How did it suddenly become ten years? Did she remember it wrong?

Wen Xuxu was a little confused, but soon, she won't think about it anymore. Isn't ten years better? She can see her father now.

"Then...then can I go see him these two days? I...I've been abroad for the past few years, and I haven't seen him. I want...I want to see him."

"Of course, you can go whenever you want, and I'll make arrangements for you."

The old man readily agreed.

At this point, the atmosphere between the two finally eased, and temporarily returned to the previous harmony.

"You...waiting for me here today, do you want to ask me about the incident that happened at the Sun's house?"

Maybe it was out of gratitude. After drinking a few cups of tea, Wen Xuxu saw that the old man hadn't brought up this topic, she struggled for a long time, and finally, took the initiative to bring it up.

But to her surprise, the old man shook his head.

"No, I'm here just to tell your dad what you said, I don't want to care about it now, it's Si Jue's own business, even he believes in you so much, I don't need any more Go join in."

"Also, I also apologize for my prejudice against you before. You are a good boy. I have watched you grow up. I know better than anyone what kind of person you are. I shouldn't have any doubts, so I shouldn't intervene in this matter now, but I should ask you to forgive me this time, I wonder if you are willing?"

The old man actually held the cup of tea at the end, his face was bitter and he begged Wen Xuxu.

Wen Xuxu was stunned!

He was actually... begging her for forgiveness?

He doesn't blame her, doesn't question her, instead he apologizes to her for what happened before, to ask her for forgiveness?

Wen Xuxu felt like he was dreaming.

However, she couldn't deny that after hearing this, her heart that had been closed by herself, those hearts that had established a strong line of defense for protection, began to slowly disintegrate.

"Don't say that, there are some things that I... really did wrong."

"But you have a heart that really protects him, and that's enough."

When the old man finally left, he left such a sentence.

And it seems that at this time, it was also he who acknowledged Wen Xuxu's existence in Huo Sijue's life in a real sense, and he allowed her to protect him for the rest of his life.

When Huo Sijue heard the news and returned, the situation in the No. 1 Imperial Court was calm.

The sick calligraphy was resting upstairs, and Wen Xuxu took Ruoruo and Huo Yin to accompany him in his bedroom. In the huge villa, after the quiet of the night, there was no child's playfulness, and there was no such slender figure. move around.

It made the villa look extraordinarily deserted and desolate.

He paused, and suddenly felt a strong discomfort in his heart. JrNovels.com
