"What's wrong, Qin'er?" Huo Yan's voice was like a spring breeze, carrying deep concern and tenderness, penetrating the tense atmosphere in the delivery room.

He stood beside Qiao Qin, his eyes fixed on her slightly pale face, as if trying to read the worries in her heart through her slightly trembling eyelashes.

Qiao Qin shook her head and reached out to take Huo Siqian.

Her fingers gently caressed the little life in her hands that had just come into this world. He was so small and so soft, as if the whole world was gently melting on his tender face.

Qiao Qin's heart was filled at that moment, and all her uneasiness disappeared.

however.

She had just experienced the pain of childbirth, and her face was filled with fatigue that was difficult to conceal.

Huo Yan seemed to understand her thoughts. He took the child and held him in his arms with gentle and skillful movements.

Followed by.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Qiao Qin's forehead, his voice filled with unprecedented tenderness and doting: "Qin'er, have a good rest and don't think too much. Leave the rest to me."

Qiao Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She recalled the hardships and pains of her past life, and those memories haunted her from time to time like a nightmare. Since her rebirth, she has been trying hard to fight wits and courage with other members of the Huo family, just to give birth to this child safely.

And now, she finally doesn't have to worry so much anymore.

Huo Yan’s return made her feel unprecedented peace of mind and reliance. It turned out that the feeling of having someone to rely on was so beautiful and warm.

Qiao Qin's heart was filled with gratitude and happiness. She didn't even have time to think about it before she fell asleep to Huo Yan's gentle comfort.

She lay flat on the bed, her eyes closed, with a slight curve at the corner of her lips.

in a dream.

Qiao Qin saw a better future - one with her beloved husband, lovely children and a happy and harmonious family.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Under the careful care of the top medical team, Qiao Qin has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.

Her body recovered very well, her face was rosy and her spirit was refreshed, as if she had regained the radiance of youth, almost exactly the same as her condition during the previous pregnancy.

One afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the whole room was surrounded by warm light.

Qiao Qin held Huo Siqian in her arms and sat in the rocking chair by the window, rocking him gently to sleep.

Huo Siqian was so cute, his pink little face was filled with an innocent smile that melted her heart.

Suddenly, a loud cry broke the silence.

Qiao Qin quickly adjusted her posture and coaxed Huo Siqian more gently. She soothed him softly until he gradually calmed down and fell into a sweet dream.

Just then, Huo Yan hurried back from outside.

There was a hint of tiredness on his face, because after returning from being missing for so long, there were a lot of things piled up that he had to deal with personally.

however.

When he saw Qiao Qin and the baby sleeping peacefully in her arms, all his fatigue seemed to disappear in an instant.

Huo Yan walked up to Qiao Qin, gently took the child from her hands, and then handed the child to Aunt Song who was waiting nearby to take care of.

Followed by.

"I have something to give you." He took Qiao Qin's hand and gently led her upstairs.

Qiao Qin was a little confused, but still followed obediently.

When they walked into a spacious and bright room, Huo Yan suddenly stopped and turned to face Qiao Qin.

He took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee and took out an exquisite brocade box from his pocket.

When the brocade box was opened, a dazzling diamond ring came into view.

Qiao Qin stared at the ring with wide eyes, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She stammered, "What are you doing?"

Huo Yan looked at her with a firm but gentle look in his eyes: "Mrs. Huo, we were too hasty when we got the marriage certificate before, and I still owe you a formal proposal ceremony. Now, I want to make it up to you. So, are you willing?"

He has always been taciturn and rarely speaks so much.

Qiao Qin stood there in a daze. She had already lost all hope for romantic love.

However, she felt unprecedented touch and happiness from this man whom she married after only meeting him twice.

Qiao Qin's eyes gradually became moist, and there was a hint of tears in her voice.

"it is good."

She stretched out her hand and trembled as she watched the ring being slowly put on her middle finger by the man.

The diamond inlaid on the ring shone charmingly in the moonlight, but Qiao Qin's mood was extremely complicated.

"Thank you."

Qiao Qin's voice was soft and trembling. The moment she looked up, she happened to meet Huo Yan's deep eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to swallow everything, and she couldn't help but fall into them.

The distance between the two was very close, so close that Qiao Qin could clearly feel Huo Yan's breathing.

The moonlight poured in from the window and sprinkled on half of Huo Yan's face, flickering, making the golden mask on his face look even more mysterious.

Qiao Qin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she felt a strong throbbing rising from the bottom of her heart.

next second.

Huo Yan's lips covered hers, and the dense kisses fell like drizzle, extremely gentle, as if he was protecting the only treasure in the world.

Qiao Qin was stunned, but was soon attracted by this gentle kiss and was unable to extricate herself from it.

She closed her eyes, feeling Huo Yan's affection and warmth.

After an unknown amount of time, the two slowly separated.

Qiao Qin leaned on Huo Yan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her own heartbeat also quickened.

She raised her head and just happened to touch the cold golden mask. She frowned and reached out to help him take off the mask.

However, the next second.

The man held Qiao Qin's wrist tightly, with such force that she could not move.

"what!"

Qiao Qin cried out in pain, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Sorry." Huo Yan's eyes dimmed and he immediately let go of her hand, a hint of apology appearing on his face.

The originally warm atmosphere cooled down in an instant.

Qiao Qin rubbed her wrist gently, then looked carefully at the golden mask on Huo Yan's face and asked softly, "Can I see your face?"

She once heard from the Huo family that Huo Yan had been kidnapped eighteen years ago. He was seriously injured and disfigured in the fire. Since then, he has always worn a mask when meeting people.

Qiao Qin didn't care about these rumors, she just wanted to see what her husband really looked like.

However, Huo Yan disagreed with this point, and his voice was low and unquestionable.

"No."

There was a hint of disappointment in Qiao Qin's eyes, but she didn't show it.

She understood that everyone has their own taboos. Although they were husband and wife, they had known each other for such a short time that it was normal for the other party to be unwilling to reveal the scars.

Qiao Qin nodded gently, then leaned into Huo Yan's arms, enjoying this rare warm moment.
