Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu did not ask about Huo Xunzhou’s background not because she was inconsiderate.

In her opinion, the more she knew about Huo Xunzhou, the more she would be deeply involved in his life.

When a person was deeply involved in another person’s life, it was very

difficult to get away from them.

She had been intentionally avoiding this matter.

Naturally, Huo Xunzhou noticed it too. This was also one of the reasons he had dissipated his fortune to acquire Lu Corporation’s shares.

She wanted to get away?

Not a chance.

Now that things had come to this point, Lin Shanchu also recognized the reality. It was impossible for her to get away, so she could only resign to her fate and get married.

“Is he your biological father?” Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Shanchu’s parents passed away early, but they loved her very much.

Therefore, she could not understand why a biological father was so cruel to his son.

The depressing atmosphere was abrupted broken by Lin Shanchu’s straightforward question. Huo Xunzhou nodded seriously.

“Yes.”

“Have you done a paternity test?”

“I did.”

Huo Xunzhou was still holding his chopsticks and his tone sounded calm.

Lin Shanchu’s heart skipped a beat.

The were three ultimate questions of human philosophy: Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going?

Huo Xunzhou had led a wandering life since he was young. He was smart and stronghearted. Even if he was successful, he would still want to know who his parents were and what kind of people they were.

When he found out that his father was the powerful Huo Zhuxiu, he probably..

felt sad.

He was clearly his biological father, but why didn’t he look for him?

Like many abandoned children, he probably had gone through a psychological struggle before convincing himself to accept the truth.

Lin Shanchu suddenly realized it. He had pretended to be disabled for the past year not because he was under Huo Zhuxiu’s control, but he wanted to confirm if Huo Zhuxiu really did not have a paternal bond with him at all.

He had always been cautious in doing things and would not allow himself to make mistakes.

Facts had proved that Huo Zhuxiu truly did not have a paternal bond with him.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen this moment to lay his cards on the table with Huo Zhuxiu.

Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Zhuxiu was simply the biggest idiot in the world.

He had such a good son, yet he did not want him!

Huo Zhuxiu did not want Huo Xunzhou, but she wanted him!

Lin Shanchu reached out for a prawn and carefully peeled it before placing it on Huo Xunzhou’s plate.

“Eat it.”

“What are you doing?” Huo Xunzhou asked with a smile.

Lin Shanchu looked at him with her pure eyes and said sincerely, “Shanshan dotes on you.”

After hearing those words, the smile on Huo Xunzhou’s face gradually disappeared. Then, he lowered his head to eat the prawn she had peeled for him.

“Then you have to keep your word. You can’t go back on your word.” He did not raise his head when he spoke and his voice sounded muffled.

“Of course I’ll keep my word.”

Lin Shanchu leaned towards him, craning her neck to see his expression, but

he suddenly turned his head to look elsewhere.

“Let’s eat.”

“Why are you hiding?”

Lin Shanchu did not care about what he said. She cupped his face and turned to look at him, only to see his red-rimmed eyes.

“You…’

Lin Shanchu was at a loss.

She was uncertain if her words or the mention of Huo Zhuxiu had broken his defense.

She leaned over and hugged his arm tightly. She couldn’t help but look up at his eyes.

Her heart ached a little.

However, she was a little… excited.

Huo Xunzhou’s eyes looked beautiful in the first place. He was usually an indifferent person, but when his eyes were red-rimmed, he was like a loveable white bunny.

He was really good-looking.

Lin Shanchu even felt a little regretful that she did not see him cry.

Of course, she could not let Huo Xunzhou know about this.

Otherwise, he would think that she was a pervert.

After a while, Huo Xunzhou calmed down.

“I’ll take you home after the meal,” he said, pushing Lin Shanchu away gently.

“Oh.” Lin Shanchu slowly sat up straight.

Actually, she was almost done eating.

Huo Xunzhou, on the other hand, had been chatting with her and peeling prawns, so he did not have time to eat.

Lin Shanchu began to frantically peel prawns for Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou smiled helplessly, but still he obediently ate all the food she picked up for him.

“Is it too much?” Lin Shanchu asked tentatively when she noticed the food on Huo Xunzhou’s plate was piled up like a small mountain.

“It’s just enough,” Huo Xunzhou replied with a smile.

When he smiled, she knew that it was indeed too much.

Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and put down the chopsticks. “Eat as much as you can. It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it.”

“Yeah.” Huo Xunzhou nodded, looking docile.

Lin Shanchu rested her head on her hand and looked at him for a long while. Then, she said thoughtfully, “In this world, everyone has their own reasons for doing anything…”

Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before she said with a frown, “Of course,

Huo Chaosheng is an exception. He is an abnormal person.” Huo Xunzhou did not say anything and just listened to her quietly.

“Huo Zhuxiu has always been extreme in doing things. Back then, he even wanted to get rid of me for the sake of Huo Chaosheng…” Lin Shanchu lamented, “He’s a ruthless person who’s good at eliminating the root cause of the problem. ”

Therefore, there must be a reason Huo Zhuxiu let Huo Xunzhou wander outside and fend for himself.

Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs.

It was obvious that Huo Zhuxiu was worse than a beast.

Hearing that, Huo Xunzhou put down his chopsticks and said calmly,

“Chaosheng is his illegitimate child.”

“Huh, really?” Lin Shanchu was taken aback for a moment and continued, “No wonder he was so angry last time when I said that Huo Chaosheng was his illegitimate son, so I was right.”

“But…” Lin Shanchu asked puzzledlv, “An illegitimate child isn’t something rare

in a family like this, right? Why was he so agitated?”

It suddenly dawned on Lin Shanchu as she said to herself, “Because of Chaosheng’s mother!”

She sat up straight and looked at Huo Xunzhou for confirmation. Huo Xunzhou leaned back in the chair and nodded lightly. “Who is Huo Chaosheng’s mother?”

“I don’t know,” Huo Xunzhou replied straightforwardly.

“Huh?” Lin Shanchu asked, “Didn’t you investigate her?”

Logically speaking, such a trivial matter would not be difficult for Huo Xunzhou.

“I couldn’t find anything about her.” Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat.

Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was normal that he could not find out about such a big matter!

“So you’re so nice to Huo Chaosheng because you want to know who his biological mother is?”

Huo Xunzhou shook his head and replied, “The person I want to find is my

”

aunt.

She was Huo Zhuxiu’s younger sister and Huo Chaosheng’s mother in name.

“Why are you looking for her?”

“On the day my mother and I met with an accident, my aunt was also there, but now her whereabouts is unknown.”

Lin Shanchu finally realized something and murmured, “That’s right! Since Huo Zhuxiu let you wander outside, there must be something fishy about your mother’s death.”

Huo Xunzhou’s aunt, as one of the parties involved back then, must have Imown something.

It turned out that this was what Huo Chaosheng mentioned—Huo Xunzhou had an ulterior motive towards him..
