Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 146 Waiting for Mr. Huo to Come Home

"Oh, Wenhai, don't scare our precious daughter. Not all people in the business world are bad." Tang Xiaqing's mother said.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will think about it carefully. I will go see my friend Lin Yunzheng. She is also in the hospital." Tang Xiaqing said goodbye to her parents and walked out of the ward.

Pushing open the door of the obstetrics and gynecology ward, Tang Xiaqing saw Lin Yunzheng leaning on the bed reading a book with a rosy face. Although her body was resting, she exuded a maternal glow that made people feel particularly at ease.

Seeing Tang Xiaqing come in, Lin Yunzheng's face blossomed into a friendly smile, and her eyes flashed with welcome.

"Xia Qing, you're here!" Lin Yunzheng stretched out her hand, motioning Tang Xia Qing to come closer.

Tang Xiaqing walked quickly to the bedside: "Yun Zheng, you look so good. What did the doctor say? Is everything going well?" She asked with concern, her eyes full of worry for her friend's health.

"It's fine. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight these days." Lin Yunzheng responded.

Just then, the door of the ward was gently pushed open again.

This time, a handsome and steady man in a white coat walked in, holding an insulated lunch box in his hand, with concentration and tenderness between his brows.

He is Lin Yunzheng's husband and also a well-known surgeon in the hospital - Dr. Huo.

Dr. Huo put down the lunch box in his hand and quickly opened it. Inside were carefully prepared dishes: clear-boiled pigeon soup, vegetable millet porridge, purple sweet potato and yam puree, broccoli with garlic, and stewed crucian carp with tofu.

Doctor Huo said, "Yun Zheng, these are your favorite dishes. The housekeeper made them early this morning. Try them, especially the tofu and crucian carp stew. They're rich in protein and good for the fetal brain development."

After a brief reunion, Dr. Huo checked his watch and hurriedly said to Tang Xiaqing and Lin Yunzheng, "I have to go back quickly. There are a lot of outpatients today. Tang Xiaqing, you can try it too. Eat slowly first. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

Dr. Huo kissed Lin Yunzheng on the forehead and quickly walked towards the door, leaving behind an elegant and handsome figure.

After Dr. Huo left, Lin Yunzheng asked, "I heard about your family's situation on the news, and also about Zhou Mufeng's situation." Her voice was soft but concerned. "Did it put a lot of pressure on you? Chen Yuan told me that Big Brother would help, so don't worry."

Tang Xiaqing said with a firm tone, "Thank you, Huo Chenjun has always been by my side. He has given me a lot of help and support."

Lin Yunzheng's eyes lit up and she nodded in approval. "Big Brother is indeed a trustworthy person. With his help, things will definitely turn around. And, you know what? He's usually serious and has clear boundaries. He won't help others easily."

Tang Xiaqing held Lin Yunzheng's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength from her best friend, and her heart was filled with emotion.

During these difficult days, having such friends by her side made her feel that she was not alone.

When Tang Xiaqing lowered her head to check her phone, the news push that popped up on the screen made her heart nervous again.

A series of news items flashed by, and one headline stood out: "Affected by some rumors, the Huo Group's stock price suffered a heavy blow in the morning trading. President Huo convened a board meeting and confirmed the statement: there will be no capital injection into the Tanghai Group." This sudden turn of events made her fall into deep thought, and her brows furrowed.

I originally thought that with Mr. Huo’s promise, the pressure on Tanghai Group could at least be temporarily relieved, but now it seems that the situation has become more complicated.

She recalled her previous exchanges with Mr. Huo, especially his firm eyes and words, but now they seemed so distant.

"How could this happen..." Tang Xiaqing murmured softly, worry and confusion intertwined in her heart.

She was wondering, was it Huo Chenjun's calm thinking that always led to reason triumphing over emotion?

Tang Xiaqing called Huo Chenjun's cell phone, but no one answered.

After leaving Lin Yunzheng's ward, the driver took Tang Xiaqing back to Mr. Huo's villa.

More than an hour after arriving home, Mr. Huo's assistant called Tang Xiaqing: "Hello, I am Mr. Huo's assistant. Mr. Huo is very busy now, and he asked me to call you back. If you have urgent or important matters, I can record them for you first." The assistant's tone was gentle and professional.

Tang Xiaqing hesitated for a moment. The question she wanted to talk about seemed a bit personal in this situation. After weighing it carefully, Tang Xiaqing replied, "No problem, thank you."

On this day, in the evening, the last rays of the setting sun shone through the window, casting golden light on the exquisite tableware, adding a bit of warmth.

Tang Xiaqing sat alone in the spacious dining room. The table was filled with a variety of delicacies, and each dish was obviously carefully prepared by the butler.

Her gaze passed over the dishes and fell on the darkening sky outside the window.

By midnight, everything was silent, with only the occasional sound of wind and the barking of dogs in the distance breaking the tranquility.

At this moment, a black car drove into the luxury villa area and stopped in front of the house. However, Mr. Huo did not get out of the car immediately.

Tang Xiaqing stood at the window, her hand lightly resting on the edge of the curtain, watching everything.

Inside the car, Mr. Huo sat quietly, seemingly enjoying his moment of solitude. The moonlight shone on him, adding a layer of mystery and depth to this usually busy man.

This was the first time she saw another side of Mr. Huo in the dead of night.

Mr. Huo was wearing a custom-made dark gray suit. The mechanical watch on his wrist subtly reflected a faint blue light, which complemented his calm temperament.

He gently opened the car window, and the night breeze blew across his cheeks with a slight coolness, bringing a sense of relief.

Then he lit a cigarette. He looked a little tired while smoking, which also added a mature masculine charm.

Tang Xiaqing had never seen Mr. Huo smoking.

Tang Xiaqing felt that at this moment, he was different from his usual calm and composed image, and there was an indescribable sense of alienation on him.

At this moment, she received a message on her phone from Huo Chenjun: "Little Princess, I'll be home soon."
