Chapter 1065: Chapter 1107: The Past

Upon hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue suddenly had a revelation. She leaned into his chest, gently patted him, and playfully said, "You’re really something. So you knew last night, and today you pretended so well that I thought you didn’t know! Honestly...!"

Huo Junmo held onto her hand that rested on his chest and said softly, "I didn’t pretend on purpose. I just wanted you to tell me yourself!"

Ling Yueyue cautiously asked, "You... you won’t blame me for keeping it from you for so long, will you?"

Huo Junmo nuzzled her head, "Of course not! Even though we’re a couple, it doesn’t mean we don’t have secrets between us! I believe you didn’t tell me because you were waiting for the right moment to surprise me!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue smiled more brightly and looked at Huo Junmo’s chiseled chin with anticipation, "Are you happy?"

"...!" Huo Junmo hesitated a bit before nodding, his face unchanged, "Happy!"

Since Ling Yueyue was leaning against Huo Junmo’s chest, she couldn’t see his expression and was unaware of anything unusual. She happily asked, "Do you think it’s better if I have a girl or a boy?"

Huo Junmo responded nonchalantly, "I like both boys and girls!"

Ling Yueyue traced circles on his chest with her finger, "I think, since we already have Tiantian, it’s enough! If I’m having a girl, wouldn’t that be wonderful? A boy and a girl, together, would make the perfect pair!"

Huo Junmo nodded absent-mindedly, "Hmm! As long as you’re happy!"

Seeing Huo Junmo’s perfunctory response, Ling Yueyue pulled away in dissatisfaction and lightly punched his chest, "What’s that supposed to mean? Is it all up to me, you don’t have any thoughts or opinions?"

Huo Junmo laughed and countered, "No matter when, don’t I always just go along with whatever you say?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"...!" Ling Yueyue felt a bit embarrassed when he said that!

In fact, he was right. Ever since they got married, everything has been decided by her! She chose the wedding venue, the rings, the honeymoon location; keeping Nan Jinning was her idea, and he cooperated in torturing Nan Jinning! It seemed that from start to finish, except for work-related matters, he’d never said "no"!

To be honest, ever since marrying him, he’s truly treated her well! Even when they first got married and had no feelings, he was always considerate and thoughtful towards her! He is indeed a flawless husband!

She’s never been lucky in her life, but marrying him, becoming his wife, was the one piece of good fortune she had.

However, despite all this, Ling Yueyue wasn’t about to let him off the hook. She pouted and insisted, "The matter of our child isn’t like other things! For other things, it’s fine for me to make all the decisions, but when it comes to our child, I hope you’ll share your opinion! After all, this is the product of our love, and we should discuss everything about our child together!"

"...!" Huo Junmo paused hesitantly, "I don’t understand much about this, you’ll have to teach me!"

Ling Yueyue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Don’t understand? How could that be? Isn’t Tiantian your child too?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Junmo’s face suddenly turned somber, he said thoughtfully, "At that time my career was on the rise, I was busy every day! Unless there was something special, Jiansi never bothered me; she hoped I could concentrate on my career! So, I nearly missed her entire pregnancy! And I hadn’t realized I was about to become a father, my focus was entirely on work! Until... until one day I got a call from the hospital saying Jiansi had been in an accident on the way to a check-up! When I arrived, the doctor handed me a consent form asking whether to save the mother or the baby!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but ask, "Then what? Who did you choose to save?"

As a woman, and a pregnant woman, if it were her, she would undoubtedly want to save the child! Because it’s a mother’s instinct!

But privately, she would hope her husband would choose to save the mother! That would at least prove she held an irreplaceable place in his heart.

However, she also knew at that moment, as the child’s parent, the mother’s husband, the man outside the operating room would be in the most painful and difficult position!

Huo Junmo’s thoughts drifted far away, he said emotionally, "I chose to save Jiansi! We could have more children, but if I lost my wife, it would be forever!"

"Since you chose the mother, then why...!?" Ling Yueyue didn’t have the heart to finish her question!

She didn’t understand why, if Huo Junmo chose the mother, Jiansi would die, and Tiantian survived.

Huo Junmo said sadly, "But Jiansi refused, she said no matter what, the child had to be saved, the child’s life was more important than hers! She threatened me, threatened the doctors, saying if the child was saved, she would refuse treatment and die with the child!"

Ling Yueyue asked, "So, did you agree?"

Huo Junmo shook his head, his voice hoarse, "No! We were at an impasse! Then her condition suddenly worsened, and due to excessive blood loss, it became hopeless; saving the child was the only option, otherwise, neither could be saved!"

"So, the child lived and the mother didn’t?" Ling Yueyue looked at Huo Junmo with heartache!

She understood that Huo Junmo felt not only love but also deep guilt towards Jiansi! For these five years, he must have blamed himself; if he had taken a bit of time to accompany Jiansi, perhaps the accident wouldn’t have happened, and Jiansi wouldn’t have died!

It was precisely this guilt towards Jiansi that made Huo Junmo so selflessly good to the Nan Family, no matter how excessive they were, he could endure.

Huo Junmo nodded, slowly pulling himself back from his memories, "Yes! Tiantian was saved, but not Jiansi! She gave life to Tiantian with her own life, and before she left, she insisted I raise our child to be a good person and look after the Nan Family!"

Ling Yueyue looked at the tall, handsome, graceful man in front of her and suddenly realized: two months into their marriage, it seemed it was only today that she truly entered his life.
