The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 23 The bud of love

Once you start talking, it's much easier to talk afterwards.

Huo Xingye took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm sorry for disregarding your wishes and restricting your freedom, which has caused harm to you both physically and mentally. I am willing to make compensation. You can make any requests, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Wen Ting was half-believing and half-doubting, suspecting that this was another way for Huo Xingye to force her to submit.

Gu Qingyin smiled and patted her hand soothingly, "Just ask, I'm here, he won't dare to do anything to you."

When Wen Ting heard this, the doubts that had been suppressed in her heart surfaced again. What was the relationship between this person and Huo Xingye? Why was she so confident that Huo Xingye would listen to her?
Under the eager gazes of the two, Wen Ting spoke tentatively, "I want to find a job..." She was fired by the company because she had been absent from work for too long, and she was not even paid the last month's salary.

"Sure." Huo Xingye agreed very readily, "I'll have my assistant contact you when you're discharged from the hospital."

Wen Ting was delighted and continued to make requests, "I have lost a lot of money during this period..."

"I'll give you ten times the amount." Huo Xingye responded with a generous attitude.

Wen Ting tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips. "Also, the house I lived in before had a high rent and was far from the company. The landlord was also very demanding..."

Huo Xingye nodded, "You pick a location, and I'll give you a set."

Wen Ting glared, "Give me a set?!"

The high housing prices in Yuncheng are well-known throughout the country. If she had to rely on herself, she would have to work hard for half her life to be able to pay a down payment. Now she can get a house for free?
Wen Ting's heart was pounding. On the one hand, she felt uneasy about the pie that had fallen from the sky, but on the other hand, she felt that this was what she deserved. She was very conflicted for a moment.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyin advised: "Take it, this is your compensation." She touched Wen Ting's hair and said softly: "I'm sorry for putting you through this period of time."

Wen Ting felt a warm sensation on her head, and her mind became clearer. Then a sour feeling rushed into her nose, and tears instantly fell. After that, it was like a dam bursting, and she couldn't stop crying, and the tears kept flowing.

Gu Qingyin sighed, "Cry, you'll feel better after crying."

Wen Ting paused, threw herself into Gu Qingyin's arms, and burst into tears.

Gu Qingyin patted her back gently, comforting her silently.

Huo Xingye was startled and finally a little panicked.

Ever since he met Wen Ting, he had never seen her cry. Even when she was imprisoned, almost starved to death, or even when she regained her freedom, Wen Ting's eyes never even turned red.

Huo Xingye always thought that she was strong by nature, but it was not until now that he realized that she had just suppressed all her sadness and hid it in her heart.

Because Wen Ting knew that showing weakness in front of people who didn't care about her would only make her more embarrassed and pathetic.

At this moment, Huo Xingye felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.

Wen Ting cried for a long time, and only stopped when her eyes were swollen. After she came to her senses, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Gu Qingyin handed her a warm towel and said, "Wipe your face."

Wen Ting took the towel silently and wiped her face with her eyes lowered.

As soon as she put down the towel, a glass of water was handed to her. The hand holding the cup was white and slender with distinct joints. There was a small red mole on the palm of her hand, which was very beautiful.

This hand just suited her aesthetic taste, and Wen Ting was stunned for a moment.

Until the owner of the hand whispered, "Drink some water."

Wen Ting came back to her senses slowly, took it quickly, and drank some water to hide her shock.

Such a beautiful hand actually belongs to Huo Xingye!

After she finished her glass of water, Huo Xingye took the empty cup back, and Wen Ting couldn't help but stare at his hand again.

Huo Xingye thought she didn't drink enough, so he went to get her another glass of water.

Wen Ting took the cup and thought, Huo Xingye actually had such a considerate side. Gu Qingyin saw the changes in her expression, and the smile in her eyes was about to overflow, "Are you feeling better?"

Wen Ting came back to her senses and took a breath. What was she thinking just now! She actually had a crush on Huo Xingye's hand. How terrible!

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyin asked with concern.

Wen Ting quickly shook her head, "It's okay, I feel much better after crying." Her voice was hoarse and nasal, sounding a little pitiful.

Huo Xingye's eyes darkened slightly and he apologized again, "I'm sorry."

Wen Ting didn't dare look at him, afraid of being bewitched again. She stared at the water cup and said softly, "I accept your apology. You've already given me a lot of compensation. From now on... just pretend we haven't met."

Huo Xingye looked gloomy and nodded in agreement.

Gu Qingyin sighed, took Wen Ting's hand and said softly: "This matter is indeed Xingye's fault. No one taught him how to express love since he was a child, and he is used to taking home whatever he likes."

"You are a good girl. He really likes you, but he just uses the wrong way to express it. If possible, I hope you can give him a chance to pursue you."

Wen Ting instinctively wanted to refuse.

Gu Qingyin raised her hand to stop him, "Do you really have no feelings towards Huo Xingye at all?"

Wen Ting was silent.

Before today, she dared to say no with absolute certainty! Now, she couldn't speak.

Beauty is alluring, and it's not just talk, that hand really pokes her.

But is she a mean person? She was treated like that, and yet she still gave people a chance to pursue her?
In the end, Wen Ting shook her head and refused, "We are not suitable."

Gu Qingyin's eyes flashed with regret, "Take good care of yourself, don't worry about anything, Huo Xingye will arrange it."

"Thank you." Wen Ting was sincerely grateful, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, "Can I ask, what is your relationship with Huo Xingye?"

Gu Qingyin looked ashamed and said, "I'm his mother, and it's my fault that I didn't educate him well." If she had educated him since childhood, her son would have been a warm-hearted man and would never have done such a stupid thing.

Wen Ting was shocked, eyes full of disbelief, "You, you look about the same age as me."

Gu Qingyin laughed, "I take good care of myself."

The two chatted for a few words on the topic of skin care, and Gu Qingyin gave out another beauty talisman before leaving the ward.

Coming out of the ward, the mother and son were silent all the way until they reached the parking lot. Gu Qingyin suddenly asked, "Do you still like her?"

As a 20-year-old adult man, Huo Xingye was suddenly asked about his love life by his elders. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still answered honestly: "I like you."

Gu Qingyin blinked and tried to remain serious. "What do you like about her? How did you two meet? When did you realize that you liked her?"

Huo Xingye paused as he opened the car door, feeling something was wrong, but he was not on guard against Gu Qingyin at all, and subconsciously thought and answered: "She is very warm, like a little sun..."

Gu Qingyin's eyes lit up, and she could no longer suppress her curiosity.

Huo Xingye raised his head inadvertently, shut up instantly, and rubbed his brows with a headache, "Let's go eat first."

Gu Qingyin was not happy, "There's still a lot of time on the road."

Huo Xingye had a blank expression on his face. “But I feel bad.”

Gu Qingyin suddenly felt guilty, "Okay, then tell me when you're better."

Huo Xingye: ...Do you have to listen to this gossip?
