Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

Although Huo Chengfeng rarely showed much emotion and was always somewhat indifferent, this time when he frowned, he appeared more lively, at least enough to show his confusion on his face, which He Linyan could see at a glance.

"Linlin, haven't we counted all these years?"

Huo Chengfeng was a little confused. In his eyes, although he and He Linyan did not see each other often over the years and were not together much, their relationship had always been good and their feelings for each other were also good.

He was willing to make concessions for He Linyan, and He Linyan would silently wait for him to come home when they were together. He thought that they didn't need to say anything, and that would be considered being together.

"Does this count? Huo Chengfeng, we have indeed had this kind of relationship for many years, but we only see each other a few times a year. Every time, it's either you coming over or me going over. We have a meal together, and when I wake up the next day, I'm all alone in bed. I know you're busy, so I won't bother you, but I still can't help but wonder when I'll be able to see you again. Then I try my best to work hard and forget about this."

He Linyan admitted that he liked Huo Chengfeng, and that it had been like that for many, many years. He didn't know when it started.

He couldn't control himself and felt insecure, so he subconsciously wanted to rely on Huo Chengfeng, but this made him feel uncomfortable and repressed.

He was really tired over the years and didn't want to live that kind of life anymore. He wanted to completely cut Huo Chengfeng out of his world so that he would never have any hope or disappointment again.

Perhaps he will feel much more relaxed when he is all alone in his life, so even though he is in a lot of pain now, he still intends to let himself go.

"Linlin... I didn't know about these things." Huo Chengfeng subconsciously reached out to hold He Linyan's hand, but a tear from He Linyan hit the back of his hand, causing him a pang of pain in his heart, and he withdrew his hand as if touched.

He Linyan blinked, trying to suppress the tears welling up in his eyes. He took a deep breath and controlled his emotions before continuing.

"Neither of us is wrong about Huo Chengfeng's matter. I know you are very busy, you have a lot of things to deal with, and you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, but I really don't want to wait aimlessly for you to finish your work and have time to spend with me. So let's leave it at that, okay? Neither of us said we wanted to be together in the first place, and we just muddled through for so many years, so it's not really a breakup now."

Huo Chengfeng stood there stunned, then He Linyan, who had already composed himself, pulled him out of the house and took the keys from his pocket.

When the door closed with a soft sound, Huo Chengfeng came back to his senses, but he just stared blankly at the now tightly closed door.

He could still faintly hear He Linyan's suppressed sobs inside. Except for when He Linyan's mother passed away, he had never cried like this in all these years.

Huo Chengfeng felt a pang of heartache for a moment, but he raised his hand but dared not knock on the door.

The crying stopped at some point. Huo Chengfeng stood outside the door until his legs went numb before turning around and stepping into the elevator with a blank look in his eyes, and then went downstairs.

It wasn't until he left the residential area and stood by the roadside that Huo Chengfeng came to his senses and realized that he hadn't called the driver yet.

He had originally planned to stay at He Linyan's place tonight, so he hadn't asked the driver to wait downstairs. Now that he'd come out, the driver wasn't there.

He picked up his phone and called the driver again. After hanging up, he stood on the street for another half hour before he finally saw the car that was coming to pick him up.

After getting into the car, Huo Chengfeng sat in the back seat staring blankly at his phone. The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and asked with some confusion.

"Boss, aren't you staying with Young Master He tonight? Where are we going now?"

"Let's go back to Jiangcheng." Huo Chengfeng's voice was somewhat weak. After saying that, he closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and leaned back without saying anything more.

The driver noticed his lecherous expression and displeased look, so he stopped talking and simply turned the car around and headed towards Jiangcheng.

Although it's annual leave now, the boss really hasn't had a single day off during this time. He finally managed to squeeze out some time to come over, but after only a short while, for some reason, he had to go back again.

She figured she must have had a fight with Young Master He, which was why she decided to go back to Jiangcheng.

He Shizhou and Luo You stayed in the hotel for a week. Luo You was still drowsy and couldn't wake up every day. His temper was also very volatile. Sometimes, if He Shizhou said something that didn't suit him, he would throw two pearls at him.

The more He Shizhou looked at him, the more he thought he was pregnant with his second child, so a week later he took him to the hospital.

After going through a bunch of random checks following the procedure, they couldn't find anything wrong with the child or any other illnesses.

He Shizhou was puzzled but didn't know why. Fortunately, although the little guy was sleeping and always liked to throw tantrums, it didn't seem to have any other problems, so He Shizhou didn't bother with it anymore.

Moreover, after sleeping for a week, Luo You is much better than before. At least she no longer sleeps until noon every time, wakes up at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and feels sleepy early at night.

Sleeping more isn't all bad; at least the little one's complexion has improved lately. He sleeps well every day and is extra energetic when he's awake.

A week later, most of the He family's relatives had left, and Luo You missed the child, so the two of them returned to the villa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, He Qi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, slowly drinking tea with a sullen face.

He Shizhou glanced outside subconsciously. It was still close to noon. He hadn't expected that He Qi would be sitting here instead of at the company.

Just then, the door behind them opened and Su Yin walked in from outside. Seeing the two people standing at the door, she called them in.

He Shizhou quietly leaned over and whispered a question in Su Yin's ear.

"Mom... Dad lives here?"

If he weren't staying here, He Qi would definitely not be leisurely drinking tea on the sofa at this time.

Su Yin coughed lightly, and finally just nodded gently.

"Recently, the He family has a lot of relatives coming and going, so we'll let him stay here for a couple of days... It's about time to send him back."

He Shizhou was afraid that his mention would remind Su Yin of this matter, so he smiled and quickly added.

"It's alright, it's fine here. Only Dad lives in the old house now, it's not very lively, so it's better for us to live together here."

Su Yin didn't say anything more, and pulled Luo You to sit on the sofa. The baby had just woken up, and the nanny brought him over. As soon as Luo You and Xiao Anyu saw him, they immediately started babbling and reaching out to him.

Luo You took the child, held him in his arms, and pinched his chubby little face. He felt that the child seemed to have grown a lot in just one week, and he felt a bit heavier in his arms.

The four of them sat in the living room for a while before Grandpa Su returned from outside.

Feeling bored at home lately, Grandpa Su has been going to the square for walks whenever he has free time. He has met a few elderly people of similar age and has been teaching them Tai Chi.

I usually eat breakfast at a leisurely pace before going out to play, and then come back when the sun rises and the temperature gets a bit high around noon. I then have a leisurely lunch and take a nap, which is just perfect.

Seeing Grandpa Su return, Luo You greeted him, handed the baby to the nanny, and then went over to chat with Grandpa Su.

After exchanging a few words, the two set up a chessboard and started playing one piece at a time while waiting for dinner.

Su Yin went to cook, leaving only He Shizhou and He Qi by the coffee table.

He Qi looked up at He Shizhou several times, considered his words carefully, and finally spoke.

"You are, after all, a member of the He family. Do you really intend to stay in Chenyan forever and never come back?" He frowned, paused, and continued, "Although you are doing quite well now, you still need to come back and hone your skills. So, you should familiarize yourself with the company's business as soon as possible and then take over."

He Shizhou knew that the two of them would definitely talk about this when they sat down together, but he had already made up his mind that he would not get involved in the affairs of the He family.

Chenyan was built from a small company into a multinational corporation by He Shizhou and Fu Yan'an. It was the result of countless efforts from He Shizhou, as well as the Su family's business. There was no one else who could take over, so he was forced to take it over.

As for the He family, even if he didn't care, there was still He Linyan, so He Shizhou naturally didn't want to get involved, which is why he resigned from the He family so readily.

"Dad, you know that Chenyan is doing very well now and can't be left alone. Besides, Grandpa also asked me to get to know the Su family, and I'm already in contact with them. I really can't take care of the He family anymore. Besides, my brother is doing a better job than me," He Shizhou said sincerely.

He Qi frowned, wanting to try to persuade He Shizhou again, but He Shizhou spoke first.

"Dad, don't worry about Mom. I'll talk to her myself. I'm really overwhelmed. Please have mercy on me."

He Qi frowned even more deeply, his face showing a hint of anger. He slammed his hand on the sofa and raised his voice.

"What do you mean by 'I've spared you'? Does the He family mean you should avoid them like the plague?"

He Shizhou realized he had said the wrong thing, smiled, and soon slipped away to watch Luo You play chess with Grandpa Su. He Qi didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Grandpa Su, so he was especially safe.

After He Shizhou left, He Qi let out a heavy sigh.

He Linyan is also his son, so he naturally dotes on him. However, back when the He family was on the verge of collapse, it was Su Yin who married into the He family without hesitation, bringing her dowry with her. She used her dowry to help the company overcome its difficulties. He Qi is not an ungrateful person, so the He family owes its current success to Su Yin.

That's why he now wants to hand over the He family business to He Shizhou.

But now that He Shizhou doesn't want him, there's nothing he can do. I'm afraid Su Yin will cause another scene.

However, He Qi still felt that it would be better to make a scene than to ignore him now.
