One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 484 - 482: Secrets Forgotten by Time (2)

Huo Junting’s expression also grew colder, and he nodded, saying, "Although it’s easy for a person to turn to ashes, some bones don’t burn completely. Do those people want it?""I received some news not long ago, so that’s what I currently think." Speaking, Xiao Jinghuai had a sort of eager anticipation, "This time I have a feeling that things... will likely be very bad."

Huo Junting was already much more awake; he was very curious about what kind of news could make Xiao Jinghuai feel such imminent danger, "What news did you get?"

Xiao Jinghuai raised his eyebrows, and his expression became much more indifferent, "Have you ever heard of the Royal Family?"

Ever since Huo Chen adopted him, Huo Junting had seen large and small events; sometimes he would become so conceited that he felt he could command the whole world...

But, the Royal Family he had always thought existed only in legend; it was the most forbidden taboo, also the most feared family, without equal.

Huo Junting shrugged, "I’ve heard a little about it, but I reckon I’ll never encounter it in this lifetime because it’s just a legend."

Xiao Jinghuai didn’t keep him in suspense, "If I told you it isn’t a legend and truly exists, what would you think?"

"What else could I think!" Huo Junting suddenly became excited, "Of course, I must see it."

Xiao Jinghuai had guessed he would say that, "Then if I said you’ve actually already met someone from the Royal Family, what would you think?"

Huo Junting couldn’t take it anymore and jumped up from his seat, pointing at Xiao Jinghuai’s nose and said, "No wonder people in the business world say you’re the best at stirring hearts. This is no lie; spill it! What’s actually going on! Stop keeping me in suspense."

After that, Xiao Jinghuai explained everything in detail from start to finish.

At the same time, he was also pleased to see the colorful expression on Huo Junting’s face...

It’s not surprising; who wouldn’t be shocked upon hearing such explosive news.

...

Huo Junting understood, "No wonder I could never find out where Aunt Xue came from; mysterious like an alien, and to think there’s such a huge background."

"Then isn’t Song Song...?"

"Oh!" Huo Junting suddenly joked, "Song Song always felt she was marrying up with you; now it seems the opposite is true, you, Xiao Jinghuai, are marrying up with her."

Xiao Jinghuai smiled intriguingly, "Song Song’s background still needs confirmation."

Huo Junting is an upright person, and he’s been holding a secret in his heart during this time. Occasionally facing Song Song, he would also feel guilty; regardless of anything, Song Xueqin is still alive.

Although bedridden, at least still alive—

And as her daughter, Song Song has the right to know her mother’s true condition.

But loyalty and righteousness are difficult to fulfill. As Huo Chen’s son, he should understand gratitude, especially since he hasn’t asked for anything for years—

"Actually... those people stealing that urn is futile, as it’s all wrong anyway." Huo Junting suddenly slipped up.

"Wrong?" Xiao Jinghuai narrowed his eyes, immediately pinpointing the crucial question, "What is wrong?"

He looked at Huo Junting’s slightly guilty expression, "Mr. Huo, are you hiding something from me?"

"Ah!" Huo Junting sighed, "President Xiao, don’t make it difficult for me. Some things I can’t say, but if you guess it, there’s nothing I can do."

To ease his burden a little, he could only let things slide.

The greatest suffering in this world is the separation by death, how could he bear it?

Xiao Jinghuai had studied psychology for a while before, capturing Huo Junting’s current facial expressions and small gestures precisely, "Don’t tell me Song Xueqin isn’t actually dead?"

Huo Junting thought: Dad, I really can’t be blamed for this.

"Hmm—"

"My father, who loves Song Xueqin deeply, made up a false death plan to monopolize her. In fact, now they are on vacation and recuperating abroad."

Seeing Xiao Jinghuai’s increasingly cold expression, Huo Junting appropriately added, "But Aunt Xue’s health is indeed poor, and now it’s all about spending money to sustain her life. There should be no..."

Huo Junting hadn’t finished his words when he was suddenly punched.

Xiao Jinghuai massaged his hand, "Mr. Huo acted foolishly; you followed him in his foolishness. This punch is what you deserve to make you wake up."

Huo Junting smiled cheekily, "Well-deserved now I’m fully awake, not tired at all—"

"Alright, now that I have no burden, whether to tell Song Song about this is up to you." He immediately passed the buck.

Xiao Jinghuai knew well how much Song Song could bear; it’s not possible for her to accept all this in a short time...

Currently, the only thing that can be done is probably to hide the truth.

Before they figure out what the other party really wants, they should not act recklessly.

"Knock, knock, knock"—

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the two instantly looked at each other, immediately guessing who was standing outside!

Sure enough, they heard a familiar voice afterward, "Are you done chatting? I brought you something to eat, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

Just as Huo Junting was about to open the door, he heard Song Song say, "Eh! Dad suddenly also came back, I’ll leave you guys for now, you can stay as long as you want... I’ll go talk to Dad first."

Xiao Jinghuai looked at Huo Junting, pulling out the word "Dad" from his mouth.

Huo Junting shook his head helplessly, "Song Song lost her memory, so I haven’t told her that my dad isn’t her dad."

"She never had a father around, so she’s always longed for paternal love. I... haven’t had the heart to tell her until now."

At this moment, the girl’s happy voice kept coming from outside, like the softest needle slowly piercing Xiao Jinghuai’s heart—

Perhaps some lies should continue, even if it means hiding it for a lifetime.

"Did your dad suddenly come back because Aunt Xue has some situation?"

Saying this, Xiao Jinghuai had already stormed out the door first, and naturally, Huo Junting followed closely behind—

The two arrived at the living room, and upon seeing the scene inside, their minds could only reflect: plans can’t keep up with changes.

Huo Chen was standing straight, and beside him sat Song Xueqin in a wheelchair wearing a beige yarn hat.

Song Song just stood there quietly, neither advancing nor retreating, as if stunned by what she saw, forgetting how to react.

Huo Chen’s voice was significantly older, "Song Song, I’m very sorry, your mother has actually been alive all this time, I just hid her away for a while."

"...Now I’m returning her to you."

Song Song didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, suddenly her mind was a mess, wanting to approach but didn’t dare, fearing it’s all just a dream.

Song Xueqin’s complexion wasn’t great, but she forced a smile, "You silly girl, aren’t you coming over to give me a hug! Not happy that your mom isn’t dead?"

"Now someone can take care—"

At this moment, Song Song already rushed forward.

Tears with warmth fell onto Song Xueqin’s hand.

"I’m not afraid of you! You have to take good care of yourself; no matter if I reach seventy or eighty years old, count it as your loss."
