Poor little homeless, Mr. Huo took her home and loved her

Chapter 331 Obsession

When I was standing in front of the water dispenser and preparing to make tea, I was daydreaming and accidentally got scalded by the water.

Zhou Ning reacted instantly, shivering from the burns all over her body, and quickly put her hands under the faucet and rinsed them with cold water.

Although she knew that these people were just talking behind her back and making groundless guesses, her mood was still affected a little. After all, no one wants to be the subject of private talk.

Zhou Ning didn't quite understand the feeling of white moonlight, because she had no experience in this area, but she was very clear about one thing: people would always be obsessed with things they couldn't get.

Doesn’t the experience of taking a bath together with Huo Qingzhou during this period indirectly illustrate this point?

Suddenly, Zhou Ning thought of the day when she met Wen Shanshan by chance and the inexplicable words that Wen Shanshan said to her. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

When she returned home in the evening, because Huo Qingzhou had an appointment outside, Zhou Ning had dinner alone with the children.

After dinner, Zhou Ning stayed with the children.

Beibei and Xixi sat aside and shared today's interesting events with Zhou Ning.

Once the children start talking, their mouths are really restless and they keep mumbling non-stop.

Zhou Ning listened quietly and occasionally responded.

Noticing that Zhou Ning was in a daze, Bei Bei said a few words, and when she found that Zhou Ning didn't respond, she stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Zhou Ning's eyes: "Mommy."

Zhou Ning came back to her senses and looked into Bei Bei's clear eyes.

"Mommy, what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Ning was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but reveal her worries in front of the children. When she was about to explain, Xixi's firm voice rang out.

"Brother, Mommy must be thinking about Daddy."

Seeing Xixi helped her explain, Zhou Ning didn't need to think of any more excuses. She smiled and patted Xixi's head: "Our Xixi is really smart."

Xixi was so happy to be praised that she danced with joy and turned around in circles on the carpet.

Her parents’ affirmation is the armor that helps her move forward bravely in the future.

As they chatted, Beibei glanced toward the door and asked, "Why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

Zhou Ning glanced at the time: "It's almost time."

Xixi blinked her clear eyes and asked, "Brother, do you miss Daddy? Do you want Daddy to come back soon?"

Beibei's eyes flickered, avoiding Xixi's gaze: "I'm just asking for Mommy, because I'm worried that Mommy misses Daddy too much."

Then, the topic naturally turned to Huo Qingzhou.

"Mommy, Daddy was chatting with us yesterday and said that when he was in school, he always ranked first in his grades. Daddy is so awesome."

Zhou Ning was not surprised to hear this. Huo Qingzhou was a gifted child, so it was normal for him to have excellent grades in school. It was a pity that they did not know each other when they were young.

Beibei added: "Xixi, what you said is not accurate. Daddy said that I was always the first in the grade."

Then he looked at Zhou Ning, "Mommy, is Daddy bragging?"

Xixi asked immediately, "Mommy, do you know this? Did you and Dad go to school together before?"

Zhou Ning's face paused and she shook her head. She and Huo Qingzhou had different life trajectories since childhood, so how could they possibly go to school together?

The man had been attending an elite aristocratic school since childhood, which had nothing to do with her school.

At this time, there was a movement outside the door.

The children's eyes lit up and they stood up: "It must be Daddy who is back."

The door opened and a slender figure walked in. He was wearing a high-end suit and exuded elegance and dignity in his every move.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but think of the first time she met Huo Qingzhou. Just by looking at the man's appearance, she felt that he was noble and indifferent.

Beibei and Xixi immediately greeted Huo Qingzhou.

"Dad, you're finally back! We've been waiting for so long!"

Huo Qingzhou patted the children's heads and said in a gentle voice: "I came back a little late because of something. Dad will try to come home earlier next time."

After saying this, Huo Qingzhou's eyes subconsciously looked for that familiar figure.

When his sight fell on Zhou Ning who was standing not far away, Huo Qingzhou's eyes lit up, and seeing Zhou Ning standing there, he quickly stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and hugged the woman.

Zhou Ning felt warm all over.

The two children stood aside, watching their parents hugging each other, and laughed with their hands covering their mouths with joy.

When he let go of her hand, Huo Qingzhou lowered his eyes, stared at Zhou Ning seriously, and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you come and hug me in time today?"

Zhou Ning: "I..."

Huo Qingzhou smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's the same if I come over to hug you."

Xixi smiled and said, "Dad, we were just praising you with Mommy."

When Huo Qingzhou heard the word "praise", his eyes lit up again and he continued to listen with interest.

Frankly speaking, he never takes other people's compliments to heart, knowing that many of them are just polite words and he won't get carried away by them. However, he takes the compliments from his family very seriously.

When Huo Qingzhou heard about the fact that he had always been the top student in the grade, his expression changed slightly.

Beibei: "Dad, are you really always number one? Has no one ever surpassed you once?"

Beibei stared at Huo Qingzhou, her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Huo Qingzhou cleverly avoided her gaze and said calmly: "You have to know that it is very difficult to surpass Dad."

"It's not a difficult thing."

Beibei muttered to himself. Huo Qingzhou's words successfully aroused his desire to win. He must be more powerful than his father when he grows up.

After washing up, Huo Qingzhou looked at Zhou Ning leaning on the bed, walked over to her habitually and lay down, hugged her, and smelled the familiar scent on her.

Gently touching Zhou Ning's hair, Huo Qingzhou couldn't help but ask: "Why are you talking less today?"

"Is it missing?"

"Well," Huo Qingzhou played with Zhou Ning's hand, "It's less."

Zhou Ning was about to respond casually when she heard Huo Qingzhou ask, "Are you too tired from work recently?"

Just as she was worrying about how to respond, she saw Huo Qingzhou just saying this, and she nodded without having to think of a reason. But fearing that Huo Qingzhou might worry, Zhou Ning added:

"It's not bad. There are just too many tasks today. It will be much better tomorrow."

Huo Qingzhou was lost in thought, his eyes fell on Zhou Ning's fingers, his expression inexplicably tensed, and he held the back of her hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Zhou Ning glanced at it and said indifferently: "It's just an accidental burn, it's no big deal."

If Huo Qingzhou hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

However, Huo Qingzhou felt distressed and got out of bed, ready to find some ointment to apply. Even though Zhou Ning told him not to use it, Huo Qingzhou still refused.

While helping Zhou Ning deal with the situation, he reminded the woman to be more careful next time.

Zhou Ning nodded: "Don't worry, I know, it doesn't hurt at all now, there's no need to treat it."

Huo Qingzhou: "It still needs to be treated. It's not good if it leaves scars."

"Do you think my scars are ugly?"

Huo Qingzhou was stunned by Zhou Ning's words. He admired the woman's train of thought and smiled helplessly: "No matter what you do, I don't mind. I pay more attention to your health. I am worried that you will mind if you see it."

Zhou Ning's heart warmed, her nose felt sore, and she suddenly hugged Huo Qingzhou.

The two hugged each other, absorbing each other's warmth.

a few days later.

Zhou Ning could clearly feel the tense atmosphere in the company.

I heard from others that today is the day the boss comes back.
