She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

"How can you be easily bullied? When I heard you arguing with that old lady this afternoon, wasn't it quite powerful?"

The man's voice was very low, with a slight upward pitch at the end. It sounded like a joke to Meng Xia's ears, so she couldn't help but glare at him, "I'm telling you seriously, are you joking with me here?" Bar!?"

Meng Xia subconsciously wanted to wave away his hand, but Huo Xibai grabbed it before she could touch it, "I'm serious too."

Before Meng Xia could get angry, he continued to explain, "Not liking to quarrel does not mean that you are weak and can be bullied. You dared to run away from Huo Yuan's villa for Meng An'an, and you dared to sneak into Huo's hospital for me..."

"In my eyes, no one is braver than you."

It's just that everyone's bottom line is different, and Meng Xia's bottom line has never been that she puts herself first.

"..."

She didn't seem to expect that he would say that. Meng Xia was stunned for a while. People around her had always said that she was easy to talk and easily bullied. She herself felt that this was not good, but at the same time she felt that she really didn't care.

But now... Huo Xibai actually said that she was brave——

Although she had felt that Huo Xibai had a terrible personality for a long time, she was secretly envious of him because he could be the most wanton person in the Huo family.

After being silent for a while, Meng Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "But I remember, aren't you the one who likes to say I'm easy to bully?"

Seeing the teasing in the woman's eyes, Huo Xibai smiled and surrendered, "That's because I'm blind, and I can't see the mountain."

Meng Xia couldn't help but chuckle. In fact, she knew that she was much braver than before for Meng Anan, but she still felt that her temper was not good enough and hoped that Meng Anan would not be like her.

"Of course not like you!"

"What? Isn't it bad to look like me? Do I have a bad personality?"

Huo Xibai raised his eyebrows pretending to be displeased, and Meng Xia couldn't help but complain, "What do you think? What do you think is better about your character? You were awkward when you were a child, and you are still awkward when you grow up."

"What's wrong with me now?"

I know what she said was that when he was a child, he obviously liked her but found ways to bully her, but now he doesn't.

"I'm talking about An'an."

Meng Xia turned to look at him, "Originally, I saw that you had always been lukewarm towards An An, and I thought you didn't like it, but today I feel... you are quite protective of him."

At that time, she didn't notice that the scratches on An An's face were not in the classroom, but Huo Xibai noticed it.

Hearing this, Huo Xibai couldn't help but chuckle, "An'an is my biological son. If I don't protect him, will I still allow outsiders to bully him?"

"But weren't you quite cold to him before?"

Speaking of this, Meng Xia couldn't help but frown, "Before you confessed your identity, you never tried to please him. Except for the first few days, after confessing your identity, you seemed to be even colder towards him."

"Isn't that because he always made things difficult for me in the beginning? He kept trying to bring you and that Daniel together. I didn't do anything to him because I had enough endurance."

Huo Xibai couldn't help but defend himself, "As for now, I bought him a pet dog, bought him toys, went out to play with him once every weekend, traveled with him every few months, and gave him gifts every time I went on a business trip. Bringing gifts, isn’t it enough?”

"Forehead……"

Meng Xia was stunned. After hearing what he said, it seemed to be true. Huo Xibai was indeed very good to Meng An'an in some aspects, but compared to his care for her, he seemed to be much less concerned about Meng An'an. .

Seeing her lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking, Huo Xibai reached out and hugged her tightly, leaning on her shoulder and murmuring in a low voice, "I'm sorry, this is my first time as a father, so I may not have met your requirements."

Only then did Meng Xia react and put her arms around him. "It doesn't matter. I made a mistake. I shouldn't doubt your concern for An An. I am also a mother for the first time. Let's do our best together."

"it is good."

While he was talking, Huo Xibai had already lifted the quilt and squeezed in——

"what are you doing?"

Meng Xia couldn't help but push him. It was a small children's bed. The petite Meng Xia and Meng An'an could barely sleep together. When a person as big as Huo Xibai squeezed in, it was not enough. Not only did his legs stretch out halfway, but his body It can only be turned sideways, and it even feels like it will fall if you turn over slightly.

However, he didn't mind at all. He hugged Meng Xia and closed his eyes, "Wherever you are, I will sleep."

"..."

Meng Xia didn't say anything, and finally let Huo Xibai carry Meng An'an to the master bedroom.
