It's hard to be a stepmother

I woke up early the next morning, but Huo Hanchuan woke up earlier than me. When I opened my eyes, I saw him leaning against the head of the bed. The light in the room was dim. He didn’t turn on the lights or check his phone. So is he meditating?

I moved a little before he came back to his senses and looked at me: "Are you awake? Can you sleep a little longer?"

I asked him, "What time is it?"

"04:30." He told me that the time was quite accurate. Huo Baize was still on vacation, so he didn't have to wake up so early. I closed my eyes for a while on the bed, but Huo Hanchuan still maintained that position. Next to me, even though we don’t share the same bed, he feels pressure when he is half sitting. I opened my eyes, and sure enough, he is looking at me, his eyes are dark. What is he doing?

I asked him: "What's the matter? Are you not sleeping?"

He smiled at me: "It's okay, go to sleep, I'll call you later."

He said and lay down, and tucked Huo Baize's quilt again, and tucked me in by the way. Since he closed his eyes, I turned over and fell asleep with my back facing him.

When I woke up again, it was already past 7 o'clock, Xiao's family members were all up, and we followed suit.

Cheng Mingxi went back in the morning, and his future son-in-law is settled. After he goes back, we will go back to Huo's house in the afternoon.

I left on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month years ago, and now it’s the fourth day of the lunar new year. I haven’t been back for six days. I miss this place a little bit. It’s different from Huo’s old house and Xiao’s house. The lawn is tidy and the green plants are also repaired. The neat and well-organized ornamental garden, with a modern atmosphere, has already opened in spring. The afternoon sun shines on the lawn, and the pebbles are shining.Under the arched bridge with water in the fountain pool, you can really see the rainbow.

This place is suitable for young people to live, full of vigor.

In the courtyard, Uncle Yu, Ma Wang, and Sister Chen greeted us.After greeting each other with a happy new year, we entered the house. The house was newly decorated to celebrate the New Year, but it was not red, but flowers everywhere, with a delicate fragrance, white lilies and bright yellow orchids, blooming one after another.

I went back to my room to change my clothes. There was also a large bouquet of pink lilies in my room. It seemed that the flowers in the greenhouse were blooming very well.

I went to the greenhouse in the afternoon. Yu Bo has to take care of the flowers and plants every other week. The greenhouse is very large, and both orchids and lilies need careful care. It will take a long time to repair from the beginning to the end. .

I helped him trim the orchid grass. Orchids grow fast, but they need to be trimmed to look good. Yu Bo told me: "You trim better than me, so you can look like Shengxue."

The pot of orchid in my hand is called [Shengxue]. There are a few jade-white flowers blooming between the tender green branches and leaves.This is the most precious kind of orchid, called Suguan Heding. Its petals are shaped like small lotus flowers, but they are more graceful than lotus flowers. It has the advantages of orchids and is particularly beautiful. This kind of flower is also very expensive. Mrs. Xiao also likes orchids. Xiao Nanshan once photographed a pot for her, which cost 100 million.This pot looks better than the one back then.

So I pruned more carefully than I used to.

I smiled at Uncle Yu: "Uncle Yu, you are already pruned to look good, and I pruned based on this."

Yu Bo shook his head: "So is it called that sentence?" He thought for a while: "Blue is born of blue and is better than blue, ice is born of water and colder than water?"

Yu Bo's education level is very high, I gave him a thumbs up, and he smiled: "You are so good at beginners, I have to learn from you."

I held the scissors and paused for a moment. I'm actually not a beginner. I've been in Xiao's garden for many years, even longer than my acting career, so I'm good at pruning flowers and plants.

Yu Bo didn't know this, so he asked me: "Mr. Xiao, do you like flowers very much?"

This is true. I think the flowers and plants are cute. I don’t like everything in the Xiao family, but I only like the flowers and plants. I nodded, and Yu Bo smiled: “I knew it. I see, so you also like orchids?"

I shook my head and smiled: "No, orchids are too delicate and elegant, so I can't keep them. The flowers I like are more vulgar." Orchids are beautiful but difficult to take care of. Anyone who takes care of the garden likes to take care of them.

Yu Bo didn't believe it: "How can these flowers be tacky? Aren't they all beautiful?"

I just smiled and said nothing when I saw him, Yu Bo said, and suddenly realized: "Do you like roses?!"

Yes, roses are the cheesiest flowers in the world, and that's what I like.

Yu Bo coughed: "Actually, roses are not vulgar, so what kind of blue enchantress?"

I told him, "I like the most tacky red roses."

Yu Bo laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said to me: "Actually, I was like you when I was young. I liked this kind of passionate love flower. Mr. Xiao, you are still young, and it is a good time for this kind of enthusiasm."

I am passionate?Ha ha.Yu Bo is really funny.

I didn't say anything, I was talking to Yu Bo while trimming other flowers and plants.When the afterglow of the sun dyed the flower house with a layer of glow, the flowers in the garden were basically repaired.It is very beautiful in the sunset, and it makes people feel refreshed and happy. Everyone has a love for beauty.

Butler Yu held the pot of [Shengxue] in his arms, and he said: "Flowers bloom well so that people will come to appreciate them. Fortunately, you are here. A few years ago, my husband was not at home. I am the only one watching in this flower room. Don't mention it." How lonely, it's the loneliness of flowers."

I took the [Shengxue] in his hand: "What Yu Bo said is true."

I put [Shengxue] on the flower stand in front of the bay window in the living room. The white window screen and the thin moon outside the window make it look very similar to that word, Empty Valley Orchid.Yu Bo also said that it would be a good place to put it, and that he would let Huo Hanchuan come down to appreciate it later.

But when Huo Hanchuan came down to appreciate it, the five best flowers were gone, only a few flower buds were left hidden in the slender leaves.

Yu Bo covered his face with his hands, and murmured: "I was wrong, I just went to the yard for a while."

It was a pity he said 'for a while'.I took a look at Huo Baize, the king of flower pickers, who was sitting on the desk over there, grinding his ink seriously.

He rubbed the ink with orchid flowers, and we all looked at him. He rolled his eyes and said loudly: "My ink has a strange smell. Adding flowers will make it smell better."

"That's Mo Xiang." Huo Hanchuan walked over and tapped his forehead with his fingers.Huo Baize didn't care, he didn't think there was anything beautiful about the flowers at all, he could only smell the fragrance of flowers, so he was still grinding ink, he hadn't written big characters for six days, now he just grinds and doesn't write .

Huo Hanchuan saw that he had grinded a lot, so he stopped him: "It's ok, these are enough for you to write, or do you write as much as you grind?"

Huo Baize dropped the ink stick and hugged his arm: "Dad, please help me write a few. I can't finish. Dad~"

Huo Baize has been talking sweetly a lot lately, and he is very good at acting like a baby. His father lost his temper after being tortured by him, so he unbuttoned his shirt cuff buttons and wrote to him.

I haven't seen Huo Hanchuan write yet, but when I was at Huo's house, I saw Mr. Huo, his father, writing. His father's handwriting is very good, learning cursive script, as graceful as a dragon, graceful as a dragon.

Huo Hanchuan's handwriting is also very good. It's not the wild cursive like his father's, but big strokes, but every word is powerful and powerful, with the momentum that penetrates the back of the paper.I looked at the half of his arms with the sleeves rolled up. The muscles were well-proportioned and the lines were smooth. I knew what kind of strength these arms contained, and I took my eyes off his wrists.

Huo Hanchuan asked Huo Baize while writing: "Wrists are flat, put your strength in your hands, don't worry, I will write a hundred big characters tonight, don't need to write too many, but each one must be written well."

Huo Baize is short-tempered, so Huo Hanchuan practiced his patience during this time. When Huo Baize heard that he had to write a hundred words, he rolled his eyes to the sky, and was pushed down by his father's shoulders.

Sitting on a chair, he yelled, "I don't like to write."

Huo Hanchuan hummed: "You don't like playing the piano, you don't like drawing, you just like playing, right?"

Huo Baize opened his mouth, and found that his father had cut everything he wanted to say, so he hummed and began to write reluctantly.I think he probably also saw that his father's complexion was not very good, Huo Hanchuan was still angry, and he didn't know why.

Huo Baize was writing, so we didn't bother him. Yu Bo had already put the pot of [Shengxue] back in the greenhouse, and came back and said to Huo Hanchuan: "Mr. Get it, and you must open it on your birthday to get a lottery."

Birthday?Huo Hanchuan's birthday?In a few days?

I looked at Uncle Yu, and Uncle Yu didn’t know if it was because of the flowers as a gift that he was so radiant. The corners of my mouth moved a few times, and I didn’t know how to ask him, because I didn’t know what to give, and I didn’t know him either. It's my birthday.

When is his birthday?I unconsciously glanced at Huo Hanchuan, I really don't know his birthday, no one told me.When they got married, their horoscopes were matched. After the marriage, they only told me when it was suitable to get married.His birth time on the marriage certificate is the Gregorian calendar, which is different from the lunar calendar.

Now Huo Hanchuan also saw that I didn't know, it was because my acting skills were not good, so I shouldn't be surprised.

So he also stared at me, his eyes darkened, I looked away, and heard him say softly to Butler Yu: "It's okay, my birthday doesn't need to be a big deal."

Butler Yu immediately said: "How can it be done, this year is your 36th birthday, the year of birth, so you have to celebrate it grandly."

I looked down at my own fingers, thinking about the fireworks on New Year's Eve, and the blessings that everyone in the Huo family gave him in the yard. Huo Hanchuan is not only the son of the Huo family, but also the current ruler of the Huo family.

He shouldn't be looking for any gifts, right?

I don't know what gift his former wife gave him?It should be flowers, right? Flowers grown by yourself are more meaningful than bought ones?

Can I not send it?I have nothing to offer.

Huo Hanchuan had no choice but to laugh when Steward Yu said that: "Do as you like, if you're too busy, just tell the old house."

Housekeeper Yu replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I will discuss it with the old lady in advance. By the way, Mr. Xiao is still here. I will also tell you, Mr. Xiao." Yu Bo looked at me, probably Because he felt that my expression was wrong, he smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, you can just prepare for the honeymoon with Mr. Huo, and leave the rest to me."

Honeymoon?Still on honeymoon?

I didn't know what to say, so I just looked at Yu Bo like this, because I didn't know how to look at Huo Hanchuan either.

Yu Bo knocked his head on my face because of my expression, and apologized with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, are you too busy with work and forgot? It's all my fault that I also forgot to remind you. I thought Mr. Huo told you ? Do you remember now?"

Now that I think about it, it was the end of the new year when I got married, and Huo Hanchuan was busy with work and couldn't leave, so it was arranged after the new year.

Sure enough, the butler Yu glanced at Huo Hanchuan, and said with a smile: "After Mr. Huo's birthday, I will go on vacation with you. Mr. was so busy a while ago, so he should take a rest. I have already asked the people on Yundao to get ready. Alright, just go."

I secretly swallowed, no wonder Huo Hanchuan got angry yesterday.Not only did I forget about my honeymoon, I didn't even remember his birthday, he should be mad.

And I can't make it up now, I have already accepted the script, and the filming will start after the fifteenth day, and the time is right after his birthday, so I don't have time to go on honeymoon with him.

So his arrangements were all in vain, and he was busy in vain some time ago, and his time was also vacated.

I took a breath in silence, if I told him that I don't have to go on honeymoon, he doesn't have to compensate me, wouldn't that be quite ignorant?

What I thought was a matter of a while, and it was not my turn to refuse the things he had arranged, and I didn't have that much face.

I sat silently, Huo Hanchuan only said softly to Butler Yu: "Let's go get ready first."

It was after the butler left that he glanced at me: "If you have any questions, just ask them?"

I thought for a while and said, "What gift do you like?"

He looked at me and smiled: "It's the first time I heard about giving a gift and I had to ask the person concerned first."

I lowered my eyes silently, and heard him say again: "Would you stop asking me when my birthday is? Ask me when I will take you on vacation? Why are you going on vacation?"

I can feel Huo Baize's feeling of being blocked by him just now.

I coughed and said, "Then when is your birthday?"

Huo Hanchuan took a deep breath and snorted softly: "You really asked."

I clasped my fingers and didn't speak. Isn't it just a word from him to ask or not to ask?

Aren't the results the same no matter what the problem?

Huo Hanchuan stood up and said to me before leaving: "Let's work first."

Facing his back, I moved the corner of my mouth: "I'm sorry."

There was no sound, so he went upstairs without even stopping.

I sat downstairs for a while, and now I know that Huo Hanchuan's birthday is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

His birthday date is pretty good, easy to remember, even Huo Baize knows it, he said to Yu Bo: "I want to buy a lot of fireworks for Dad!"

Yu Bo agreed, and he continued, "He won't be angry if he buys a lot of fireworks."

Huo Baize rolled his eyes and pointed at me, "You're the one who made Dad angry." I didn't let him blame me for everything, and told him, "It's your part too." Huo Baize snorted: " You made him even more angry!" "It's you." "You!"

Huo Baize and I passed the buck to each other, and Yu Bo, who was watching from the side, was a little bit dumbfounded.

Seeing Huo Baize's angry look, I took a long breath, got up and went upstairs, I was so naive to the extreme.

The author has something to say:

Small theater from the perspective of attack ---

He doesn't remember my birthday, and sure enough, he also forgot to spend my honeymoon with me. I feel very sad, but he seems to want to redeem it, so do I still have hope?As long as there is hope, I can wait and have no problem getting behind his work.
