Huo Yunshen believed that her fears were superfluous but he did not blame her. If someone were to be blamed, it should be his mother who had always over-complicated things.
When he told Xu Xiyan that she would return to the Huo family with her daughter, Xu Xiyan's heart brimmed with joy. She continued, testing him. "Well, you're right, but I… but I'm just your life assistant… If I were to return to the Huo family with you, they would definitely gossip about me. I don't want anyone to talk nonsense about me…"
It was true that the two of them had already confessed and made their feelings for each other clear, but it was still just that particular detail that didn't make it all feel quite right.
Huo Yunshen understood her worries. He comforted her, "No, that won't happen. I'm taking my wife and child home. Who would dare to say anything about that?"
What did he say?
Wife?
It seemed that this was the first time she heard him say the word.
