Chapter 56: Chapter 56 The Fragrance on Her Pierces the Heart

On the road, Lei Ting and Huo Sinan sat in the car at the front.

Finally seizing the opportunity in private, Lei Ting asked Huo Sinan. "What’s going on? Little Xingxing’s mom was found and she’s really beautiful, huh?"

Huo Sinan glanced at his friend. "It’s not what you think, stop guessing."

"So, is she Little Xingxing’s mom or not?"

"No," Huo Sinan shook his head. "Didn’t you notice how young the girl is? Barely in her early twenties."

"She indeed doesn’t look like a woman who has had a child," Lei Ting nodded. "But why does Little Xingxing call her ’mom’?"

"He used to call the star Rui Qing ’mom’ too." Huo Sinan pondered and rubbed his temples. "He calls anyone ’mom,’ what can I do about it?"

"Rui Qing, huh?" Lei Ting sighed. "Such a beautiful girl, just gone like that?"

"Vanished without a trace of life or death, yeah, just gone!" Huo Sinan sighed. "I’ve sent people to look for her, but they found nothing."

"Then, most likely she’s been eaten by the fish in the sea," Lei Ting said regretfully.

"Can you say something pleasant?" Huo Sinan frowned, quite impatient. "And tell me, which fish could eat her bones too?"

"Whales!" Lei Ting said.

"Can whales even come to the inland sea? Do you think if a whale appeared in Qingcheng, it would still be alive when leaving the place?"

"That’s also true." Lei Ting nodded. "But this girl gets along with Little Xingxing so well, if you really can’t handle it, just marry her and let her be stepmother to the kid."

Huo Sinan’s gaze deepened, and he remained silent.

Lei Ting blinked. "Don’t tell me, you took her on this trip with that idea in mind."

Huo Sinan looked at his friend with a smile that was not quite a smile, and his silence was tantamount to an admission.

"In that case, since you have such thoughts, we can’t be sitting in front here, let’s hurry to the back car. When we stop at the service area next, we’ll switch to the other vehicle," Lei Ting arranged with the driver without waiting for Huo Sinan’s agreement, directing them to proceed straight to the service area for the next stop.

Thus, after arriving at the service area, both of them got into the same car with Qiao Rui and Song Muyu.

The space instantly felt cramped with two grown men getting in.

The nanny had no choice but to move to the front car.

Little Xingxing tended to fall asleep easily in the car, and before long, he was snoozing in Qiao Rui’s arms.

Huo Sinan glanced at Qiao Rui, who was holding Little Xingxing, very tenderly.

He couldn’t help but take another look at Qiao Rui, just finding the girl so beautiful.

Her facial features were soft and gentle, her hair silky, her eyes luminous.

He was suddenly transfixed.

"Cough!" Song Muyu suddenly coughed, seemingly reminding Huo Sinan.

He immediately snapped out of it, turning his gaze to Song Muyu.

Song Muyu said, "Mr. Huo, your son is too heavy, you should hold him for a while, Ruirui’s arms are getting numb."

Huo Sinan met Song Muyu’s warning gaze and smiled faintly. "I was about to."

Then, he smiled slightly at Qiao Rui. "Miss Rui, let me take him for a moment."

Qiao Rui looked at him and said, "Better lay him down in the back bed. Holding him won’t let him sleep well—lying down will be more comfortable."

"That’s a good idea, I will put him there." Huo Sinan reached out to take him.

He was very close to Qiao Rui.

There seemed to be a faint scent emanating from the girl, something he had never smelled on any other woman before, like a natural breath with a subtle fragrance, not like perfume, yet it was heartwarming.

Huo Sinan felt a stir in his heart, his gaze deepened a touch, and as he took his son, he looked up and met Qiao Rui’s eyes.

Those gentle eyes held a shimmering light, and just one look could easily intoxicate someone.

He was taken aback once more.

Seeing him looking at her, Qiao Rui was also startled and looked at Huo Sinan blankly, fearing that he might not hold Little Xingxing properly. Therefore, she reminded, "Mr. Huo, hold on tight, don’t drop the child."

As soon as she spoke, her breath was as fragrant as an orchid, her warmth tickling his ear; Huo Sinan shuddered, his face, to his surprise, turning slightly red.

It seemed as if he hadn’t blushed in years.

"Thank you for the reminder," Huo Sinan quickly said, returning to his senses. He looked down at the child, striving to stay focused.

Qiao Rui cooperated with him, passing the child into his arms.

Their hands touched, and Qiao Rui was very natural about it.

But Huo Sinan’s heart was thumping wildly once again.

He took the child and placed him in the crib, even covering the child with a small blanket.

However, this scene before them took Song Muyu and Lei Ting by surprise.

Song Muyu was astounded, she hadn’t seen it wrong, had she? Huo Sinan seemed to have blushed.

Lei Ting couldn’t hold back either and muttered, "My goodness, did he just blush? That’s a once in a century event."

Song Muyu glanced at Lei Ting and added, "He probably did blush."

Lei Ting was startled and turned to look at Song Muyu, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He quickly offered an explanation for his good friend. "Actually, a man who blushes is a good-natured man."

"A beast who blushes only once in a hundred years," Song Muyu said. "I wonder if he is truly good at heart."

"Rare things are valuable; of course, he is," Lei Ting declared.

Qiao Rui and Huo Sinan overheard their whispered conversation, and Qiao Rui asked, "What are you two discussing? Can’t you speak up?"

Song Muyu nodded her head and said earnestly, "We were discussing whether the heart of a man, who suddenly blushed amidst a whirl of flowers, is good or bad."

Being a clever person, Qiao Rui didn’t need to think twice and knew that Song Muyu was referring to Huo Sinan.

Hearing their words, Huo Sinan also frowned slightly.

Nevertheless, he had a strong mental fortitude and spoke up, "A prodigal’s return is more precious than gold, Miss Song, haven’t you heard of that?"

Song Muyu spoke seriously and solemnly, "I have not, Mr. Huo."

Huo Sinan sat down again and said, "The saying ’A prodigal’s return is more precious than gold’ shows that the return of a prodigal is truly valuable. A prodigal is inherently clever; he just doesn’t know how to cherish. But once he has an epiphany, his realization is worth more than gold."

Song Muyu laughed. "Mr. Huo, are you promoting yourself?"

Caught out, Huo Sinan didn’t get annoyed; instead, he turned his gaze toward Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui wasn’t looking at him because her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it—it was a call from her grandfather.

Following that unpleasant incident at the Qiao Family, Qiao Rui hadn’t received any more calls from them.

Now, receiving a call from the Qiao Family, she still answered.

She turned the volume of the phone down to its lowest to prevent others from overhearing.

Elder Qiao’s voice came from the other end, "Qiao Rui, Pei Liyan’s five hundred million has already arrived in the Qiao Family account."

"Then congratulations to you," Qiao Rui responded indifferently.

"So, it seems your little schemes have come to naught, your elder sister is indeed formidable, she convinced Pei Liyan with a single move."

"Is that what you called to tell me?" Qiao Rui asked in an even tone.

Elder Qiao snorted coldly, "I also wanted to warn you not to get too cocky."

"You’re right," Qiao Rui replied indifferently. "One truly shouldn’t be too smug."
