Chapter 200: Just a Childhood Obsession
Zhong Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "No, you said that I'm not allowed to fall in love before I'm 30, especially not with people related to the company, even if it's just pretend."

Gu Hanchen said: "Pretend, I've said it's all fake, I'll act it out for my mom so she won't worry that I've really changed my gender to a girl."

Zhong Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "Not really."

Yuan Xi also knew what Zhong Xiaoyi was thinking, and said to Gu Hanchen, "Don't make things difficult for Xiaoyi. It's time to eat."

Gu Hanchen said: "Since you came to City A, I haven't had delicious sweet and sour pork ribs again. I must have a good meal today."

"By the way, where are Lele and An'an?"

Yuan Xi said: "In the nursery, I don't know if he is awake or not."

Yuan Xi went to the nursery upstairs. Seeing An An had woken up, Yuan Xi picked up An An and went downstairs.

Gu Hanchen came forward and said, "This boy is so fat!"

Yuan Xi chuckled, "He takes after his father."

Gu Hanchen raised his eyes and looked at Huo Shiyan, "Mr. Huo is not fat."

Huo Shiyan took An An from Yuan Xi's arms and said, "Le Le is still asleep?"

Yuan Xi said: "Well, she's still asleep. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep at night. Her biological clock is a bit messed up right now, and the confinement nanny is trying to help her adjust it."

Gu Hanchen came close to Huo Shiyan and looked at An An, "This boy is as handsome as me. Thanks to your mother who kept looking at me when she was pregnant, she was able to give birth to a baby as handsome as me."

Yuan Xi said: "The child is handsome because his father is handsome, but it has nothing to do with you."

Gu Hanchen said: "Don't say it, this fat boy seems to be more and more like Chu Lin now."

Yuan Xi's expression suddenly changed, "Impossible, my baby won't look like his."

Gu Hanchen said: "It's normal for a nephew to look like his uncle. How can it be impossible? I think Xiao Yingying looks a lot like me."

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi's expression and chuckled, "Not at all. Don't listen to Gu Hanchen's nonsense."

After dinner, Yuan Xi sent Gu Hanchen and Zhong Xiaoyi away, and looked at An An's face carefully, but couldn't tell that she looked like Chu Lin at all.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi staring at An An's face and chuckled, "He doesn't look like Chu Lin at all. There's no need to stare at him."

Yuan Xi said: "Gu Hanchen's eyesight is not good."
-
Sunday.

Yuan Xi was awakened by Xiao Xiaohuo's voice coming from downstairs.

Huo Shiyan was also woken up and frowned, saying, "The sound insulation of this villa is worse than that of Jiang Yan Villa."

Yuan Xi glanced at the time, "It's already nine o'clock..."

It was all Huo Shiyan’s fault for staying up very late last night. Originally, he didn’t need to go to the company today, so Yuan Xi just joined in the fun. Without an alarm clock, she slept until nine o’clock.

After washing up, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan went downstairs and saw Xiao Shihuo wearing a little yellow hat and carrying a small schoolbag. "Brother and sister, why are you not well yet? I can't wait to go to the grave!"

Yuan Xi chuckled and looked at the cute little Xiaohuo, "Okay, you can go now."

Xiao Shihuo looked behind Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan, "Where are Lele and An'an?"

"They are too young to visit the graves," Yuan Xi said.

Xiaoshihuo took Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Oh."

The Huo family cemetery is located in a park built by the Huo family. When Old Master Huo passed away, the control over the land was not so strict.

When visiting the grave, Mr. Huo did not come, and Yuan Xi heard that the old man was hospitalized yesterday. So after lunch, Yuan Xi accompanied Huo Shiyan to the hospital again.

In the VIP ward of the hospital, Mr. Huo had lost a lot of weight, and the condition of the old man, who was already over 80 years old, was not optimistic.

Huo Shiyan went outside and asked the doctor about the specific condition of his illness. Most of Mr. Huo's illnesses were caused by his old age and overwork.

Old Master Shi said to Huo Shiyan, "He doesn't want to get the longevity injection. He has been toiling too much in his life. He finally saw you coming to take over, but now that he has some free time, his body is getting worse and worse."

Old Master Shi said, "At the age of eighty-three, he should have enjoyed himself a little longer. Unfortunately, he has put in too much hard work and effort for Shi Yi in his life. You should spend some time with your grandfather during this period of time."

"Okay." Huo Shiyan responded, "You should take care of yourself too."

Old Master Shi laughed, "My old bones are still strong. I want to wait for Xiao Huohuo to grow up and drink a sip of his granddaughter-in-law tea."

Grandma Shi said at the side: "Shi Yan, you should also persuade your grandfather to get a longevity injection. This longevity injection can at least last for three to five years."

Yuan Xi had also heard of the longevity injection, which was taken by many wealthy people and celebrities in Jiangcheng.

There are longevity injections available both at home and abroad, with prices ranging from 300,000 to 1 million per injection, and they are indeed effective.

When Grandpa Liang’s condition was the most critical, Yuan Xi also went to check on him, but fortunately, Grandpa’s operation was successful.

Huo Shiyan said: "I'll go and persuade Grandpa."

Huo Shiyan entered the ward and looked at the thinner old man Huo. He couldn't help but sigh, "Grandpa, why don't you take the longevity injection? The technology of longevity injections is very advanced now..."

Mr. Huo said, "Everyone has his own destiny, so let it take its course. There is no need to change it. Now I have great-grandchildren, so I will live one more day. But after I am gone, all the burdens of the Huo family will be on you."

Huo Shiyan said: "Don't worry, I will shoulder the burden of the Huo family and make Shiyi Group better and better."

Mr. Huo said: "The thing I feel most guilty about in my life is letting you go abroad when you were thirteen or fourteen years old... Do you still hate me?"

Huo Shiyan chuckled: "I don't hate you anymore. I also know your concerns. My two grandmothers dote on me too much. If I stay in the country, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be independent."

Huo Shiyan raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Xi beside him, "I just feel it's a pity. If I hadn't gone abroad to study, I would never have let Xiaoxi have those difficult four or five years."

Mr. Huo looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Thank you for healing Shi Yan since he was a child. He didn't have a father or a mother when he was a child, so he was quite lonely. There were many children of the same age around him when he was young, but he couldn't play with them at first.

Until he came back from a trip to Jiangcheng, he became much more cheerful and kept talking about his sister Xiaoxi. It was you who made his childhood bright.

It's true that I didn't force him to study abroad, and you two could have been married a long time ago...you wouldn't have missed so many years."

Yuan Xi smiled softly, "Perhaps if Brother Zhuangzhuang had always been by my side, we wouldn't have had love."

Huo Shiyan glanced at Yuan Xi and said to Mr. Huo, "Grandpa, we'll go back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "If I hadn't gone abroad to study, there would be no love?"

Yuan Xi chuckled: "Yes, if you hadn't studied abroad and had always been by my side, how could there be love between us if we were too familiar with each other? I might really only treat you as my brother, and maybe you would only treat me as your sister."

A year ago, Yuan Xi admitted that he was attracted by the beauty after drinking, but if he had known at that time that Huo Shiyan was Zhuangzhuang's brother, Yuan Xi would not have been attracted by the beauty even if he was drunk.

Huo Shiyan said: "Yuan Xi, I decided that I liked you before I went abroad. Even if I stayed in China, I would do whatever it takes to make you marry me."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan who was standing beside him, "In fact, your feelings for me may not be like or love, but just an obsession from childhood."

"Just like when I was a kid I longed for the sea, but unfortunately my parents were too busy with work to take me to see the sea. After I graduated from high school I went to the seaside with Suisui and her friends. No matter how many times I go to the seaside, I never get tired of it. I don't think it's love, it's just an obsession that has always been in my heart since I was a child."

Yuan Xi said calmly, "You are actually the same. You just heard too many jokes from the neighbors about the two of us, and gradually formed an obsession that you must marry me when you grow up. It's not love at all..."
