Married to the Infertile CEO, I Got Morning Sickness - Chapter 11

After my postpartum confinement abroad, Huo Yanchuan brought me home.

He told Old Master Huo, “This is the child we adopted.”

Surprisingly, Old Master Huo didn’t say much.

He just sighed, “Well, our Huo Family can’t be left without descendants. An adopted child is still a child.”

After saying that, he comforted himself, “I suppose things are looking up for me. I’m actually a great-grandfather now. What a joy, what a joy!”

It seems Huo Yanchuan’s magnanimity was inherited from Old Master Huo.

Old Master Huo personally named the twins.

The elder brother is called Huo Chenan, with the nickname Chengcheng.

The younger sister is called Huo Wanning, with the nickname Ningning.

Old Master Huo shared the good news with my grandfather, Old Xia: “Old Xia, you’re a great-grandfather now. Xia Wu and Yanchuan have adopted a pair of twins.”

My grandfather replied cheerfully, “I heard from Xia Wu. We must celebrate.”

The two of them drank a pot of health wine to celebrate.

Old Master Huo is very fond of Chengcheng and Ningning.

He brought them to the Huo Family’s old residence to raise them, hiring four baby nurses to care for the children.

As for me, I went to work at my grandfather’s traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

For now, I’m responsible for preparing medicine in the pharmacy. This job doesn’t require talking, which suits me well.

Every day at five in the afternoon, Huo Yanchuan comes to pick me up from work, and we go together to the old residence to see Chengcheng and Ningning.

On weekends, we bring the siblings to stay with us.

I bring back many medicinal dishes from the clinic.

I stew them daily for Huo Yanchuan to nourish his body.

He’s very cooperative, always finishing the medicinal food I serve him.

One night, I went downstairs to get some water.

Huo Yanchuan was also in the kitchen.

After drinking, I turned off the lights and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

He suddenly pulled me into his arms, saying meaningfully, “Wife, sleeping in separate rooms as a couple will affect our relationship.”

It was I who suggested sleeping in separate rooms after marriage.

Is he trying to sleep in the same room to build our relationship?

But I’m not ready yet.

Seeing my silence, he didn’t press further.

However, he didn’t let go of me either.

He lowered his head and kissed me gently, as if treating a fragile treasure.

As his kiss deepened, the feeling of heart-throbbing grew like wild vines, tightly entwining our hearts and blossoming in unseen corners.

I don’t know how long it lasted, but he ended up with a nosebleed.

I turned on the light and handed him tissues to wipe the blood.

Looks like the dosage of the medicinal food can be reduced a bit.

To avoid over-supplementing.

Huo Yanchuan went back to his room to take a cold shower.

The next morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast.

I saw him holding the bedsheet, tossing it into the washing machine.

Usually, this kind of chore is done by Maid Wang and the others.

There’s no need for him to wash the sheets himself.

I glanced at him, and his ears immediately turned red as he avoided my gaze.

On the way to work, he lowered his voice and said, “You don’t need to drink the medicinal food anymore.”

Is he completely recovered?

I really want to check for myself.

Ahem… Lust is a dangerous thing.

I immediately stopped that thought.

Soon, it was Old Master Huo’s birthday.

The birthday banquet was held at a hotel owned by Huo Corporation.

The Yu Family and Huo Family have business dealings.

So, the Yu Family received an invitation.

At the banquet, I saw Yu Tang.

Four years ago, the Huo Family and Yu Family intended to arrange a marriage.

After Yu Tang broke off the engagement, she quickly married Huo Yanchuan’s best friend from university.

I heard she divorced a year ago.

When I went to the restroom, Yu Tang followed me, touching up her lipstick in front of the mirror.

She glanced at me sideways, “Xia Wu, you’re really bold. It’s one thing to cheat, but you even dared to give birth to a bastard and let the Huo Family raise it.”

I remained silent.

She chuckled, “Oh, I forgot you’re mute and can’t speak.”

“If I hadn’t broken off the engagement with Huo Yanchuan, you wouldn’t have married into the Huo Family.”

“Now that I’m divorced, tell me, if I go after Huo Yanchuan, will he dump you and be with me?”

“You know, the power of a first love is formidable.”

I ignored her. After using the restroom, when I came out to wash my hands, she was still standing by the sink.

“Xia Wu, although I’ve been divorced, at least I’m a normal person.”

“Unlike you, who can’t even speak.”

“Huo Yanchuan must have a hard time being with you, right?”

“He hates the silent treatment most. When we used to argue, if I ignored him for more than three hours, he’d break down.”

“He’d coax me until I calmed down and talked to him.”

“Spending a lifetime with a mute, isn’t that enduring the silent treatment every moment? He’ll go crazy.”

Huo Yanchuan once told me not to give him the silent treatment.

Turns out, he wasn’t just saying it casually.

I edited a message on my phone’s memo and flashed it in front of Yu Tang: [Are you done? The way you’re jumping around after getting triggered is truly ridiculous.]

Yu Tang’s eyes widened, “You dare mock me? Fine, just wait and see. I’ll make sure you lose face in front of Old Master Huo!”

With that, she strode away.
