Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Tang Yuan Needs Me, You Need Me Too
Yun Xuefei’s body stiffened slightly.
She turned her head and looked at the tall man in front of her, offering a faint smile, “You didn’t eat much tonight, did you? It’s cold outside, drinking some soup will make you feel better.”
“Hmm.” Huo Yanzhao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and when he saw her reaching to lift the pot lid, he quickly intervened, “Let me.”
He got there first, covering the slightly hot pot lid and, taking advantage of the moment, wrapped his arms around her waist.
Yun Xuefei felt a bit awkward and struggled lightly, pushing him away: “…I’ll go chop some green onions.”
Finished speaking, she turned to walk towards the sink, but Huo Yanzhao firmly grasped her wrist. She lost her balance, leaning backward, and suddenly fell into his embrace!
“Huo Yanzhao!” Her voice tinged with a trace of anger. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novèlfire.net
The man looked at her flushed cheeks and suddenly smiled.
“I’m sorry.” Although he apologized, his arms remained tightly around her waist, “These past years, you’ve been raising Tang Yuan all by yourself… You’ve worked hard.”
Yun Xuefei took a deep breath and said faintly, “It’s nothing, I said when I decided to have her, she’s my daughter, and she will take my surname. Although you are the father of the child, that’s all there is to it…”
“So, you see me solely as a sperm donor,” Huo Yanzhao chuckled lowly.
The word “sperm” made Yun Xuefei’s face instantly turn flaming red.
“Huo Yanzhao, let go of me.” She finally began to struggle.
But the man suddenly exerted force and pressed her against the wall, his towering body encompassing her completely.
“What are you doing!” She looked up in panic, only to meet his overly intense gaze.
“Xuefei.” The man’s voice was extremely hoarse, “I promised Tang Yuan that I would accompany her every day from now on.”
“…So what?” Yun Xuefei’s voice tightened.
“What do you think?” He suddenly laughed, a flash of light seeming to glint in the bottom of his unfathomable dark eyes.
That look gave Yun Xuefei an uneasy premonition, as if… something could gradually slip out of her control…
Four years were enough for all love and hate to fade, so Yun Xuefei had always thought they had reached an ample understanding; now, the only thing that connected them was Tang Yuan. That’s why when he came, she would even personally make soup to entertain him, just like treating Yun Shenhan.
They were no longer husband and wife, but he was still the father of her child, so Yun Xuefei treated him like family.
However, she hadn’t expected that, after four years, he would still exhibit such an aggressive side. Yun Xuefei thought he had long moved on, but now she realized, perhaps she had always been wrong…
“Huo Yanzhao, if you want to fight for the right to visit your daughter, I fully understand,” Yun Xuefei tried hard to ignore that odd feeling in her heart, “We can discuss this issue properly… Let go of me first.”
“Raising a child alone is very hard.” Huo Yanzhao’s voice was exceptionally low, laced with a tempting tone, “I want to help you.”
“Mrs. Wu will help me.” Yun Xuefei spoke calmly, “Besides, Tang Yuan is easy to take care of, she’s already sensible and doesn’t require me to worry.”
“But Tang Yuan needs me.”
“Yes, so I don’t stop you from seeing her…”
“You need me too,” the man interrupted her, his voice exceptionally clear.
Yun Xuefei froze suddenly, staring at him blankly.
