Shang Manyue subconsciously pulled back her hair at her temples, walked over slowly, and sat across from him.

"What's the matter?" Her voice was slightly hoarse when she spoke.

Huo Jingbo couldn't help but glance at her, his eyes softened slightly, and he said lazily: "It will be Qingming Festival in a few days. This year is special. Except for father, everyone in the Huo family will go back to participate in the sacrifice, and grandpa will also attend. , I will pick you up when the time comes."

It turned out that this was the case, Shang Manyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingming.

A big family like the Huo family has many rules and has always attached great importance to such festivals. However, as the family is large and has many branches, it usually only holds a grand ceremony every five years, requiring all members to be present. This time there is a requirement , probably because Mr. Huo's death is approaching and it is also his last sacrifice.

Shang Manyue would not shirk the old man's matter. She nodded gently, "Okay, I understand."

No matter what kind of trouble happens between her and Huo Jingbo, she hopes that her grandfather can go away peacefully.

Huo Jingbo gave a few more instructions, and Shang Manyue listened attentively and nodded one by one.

The matter has been explained, and they should have gone back to the company, but they haven't talked to each other properly for a long time. Shang Manyue is either indifferent and uncommunicative, or he is very heart-wrenching when he opens his mouth.

Huo Jingbo looked at Shang Manyue's beautiful and delicate face, suddenly thought about it, and spoke abruptly, "Manyue, you see, we can also live in peace."

Shang Manyue was still thinking about those things about Qingming. When she heard this, she was startled for a moment, and then smiled sarcastically, "Mr. Huo, if you want to live in peace with me, sign it and we will divorce peacefully. When I see you in the future, I will definitely I can make you smile."

Huo Jingbo: "...can we have a few words?"

Since he wanted to chat, Shang Manyue chatted with him.

"What you call peaceful coexistence means that I need to be obedient and sensible, not go against your wishes, be a virtuous and decent Mrs. Huo outside, warm your bed at home, and be a tool for raising children."

"Then I have to endure your tidbits from outside all the time, endure other women sharing a husband with me, and even... I don't know when another illegitimate child will pop up! She may even come to provoke me and make me angry , and even want to kill me again just to get the upper hand, even if it means I can live a few more years, I don’t want to suffer this!”

"Huo Jingbo, let's put ourselves in my shoes. If you were in my position, would you do it?"

Following her words, the light in Huo Jingbo's eyes dimmed again, and his thin lips pressed tightly into a hard line.

"After all, you just don't want to give me another chance!"

"Because without Yunchen, no matter what I do, you will always think I am wrong."

Huo Jingbo also felt unwilling and resentful in his heart. The ends of his eyes turned slightly red. His long arm crossed the coffee table and grabbed Shang Manyue's wrist. He held her tightly regardless of her struggle.

"Shang Manyue, you are not the only one who is sad to lose Yunchen. You can't blame all your faults on me and then not see my sadness and amends!"

Shang Manyue was caught by him and couldn't help but lean forward towards him. She looked at the handsome face so close and saw his unwillingness and grievance, but she just felt it was ridiculous.

"Why can't I blame you? Huo Jingbo, in the last few months of my pregnancy with Yun Chen, when I needed my husband's care and concern the most, where were you? I had cramps in my legs and feet every night and was so uncomfortable that I called and texted you. , have you paid attention to me?"

"Oh, yes, Jiang Xinrou lost her child. She was heartbroken, she suffered from postpartum depression, and she wanted to commit suicide. She couldn't leave you, so you had to stay with her. What about me? When I couldn't leave you either, You didn’t want to accompany me either!”

"Huo Jingbo, it's not that I didn't give you a chance. I gave it. It's because you don't cherish it. It's because you don't want it. In your heart, Jiang Xinrou is more important than me and Yunchen! Now why do you want the compensation you think you deserve? Do I accept it unconditionally?”

As Shang Manyue spoke, his voice couldn't help but sound like crying.

She thought of the pain and sadness in her last few months, and how she lived in fear every day, afraid that she would not be able to save her child, and that both she and the child would die during childbirth. No one could tell her the pain, but she could only Swallow it into your stomach.

"So... didn't I say that I will stay with you from now on?"

Huo Jingbo's voice also rose slightly, and a large piece of his heart collapsed. Her words were like cold wind pouring into him mercilessly.

"I don't deny the mistakes I made. I am also a father for the first time, and I... don't understand."

Even when he lost his child, he didn't really feel it. It wasn't until he saw the wooden horse and assembled it that he felt overwhelming pain.

He lost his first child and didn't want to lose Shang Manyue again.

Between them, there should be a perfect family of three.

Huo Jingbo's fingertips trembled slightly as he caressed Shang Manyue's cheek, gently wiping away the tears from her eyes.

"Fu Yue, it will be fine when we have our second child, everything will be fine..."

He still thinks so stubbornly.

With the second child, the pain of the past will be erased and they can live well.

Shang Manyue no longer wanted to discuss the child's affairs with him. It didn't make sense at all.

She did not resist his touch. Her dark eyes became even brighter after being washed by tears. She stared straight at him and spoke out every word clearly.

"Huo Jingbo, what if I say that I want you to deal with Jiang Xinrou? Not only do I want you to completely break off from her, but I also want her to leave the port city and never appear in my sight again. If you can do it , how about I change my mind and stay with you?"

The man's eyes became darker, and the fingertips stroking her cheek froze.

Shang Manyue was not surprised. No matter how nice a man's words were, it was of no use. He really asked them to make a choice, but they wanted everything!

"If you can't do something, don't say it easily. It will look ridiculous."

Shang Manyue brushed his hand away, stood up, and went directly upstairs.

Huo Jingbo froze in place, looking at her determined back, and clenched his hands little by little.

A week later, Qingming Festival arrived.

Huo Jingbo and Shang Manyue went back to their old house to spend the night one night early, and were woken up by the man at five o'clock the next morning.

Shang Manyue opened his eyes in confusion, but his head was still confused and a little dizzy.

She sat up and felt dizzy, almost falling back again.

Huo Jingbo was getting dressed. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he sat by the bed and supported her, "What's wrong with you?"

"I……"

Just as Shang Manyue was about to speak, a nauseating feeling came over her quickly, and she couldn't stop retching!
