Chapter 11: Chapter 11: No Divorce 2
Huo Siyuan listened to his wife's voice, and his heart softened. Her voice was so captivating that it seemed to draw him in completely.
The corners of his lips curled into a charming, devilish smile, and his eyes were filled with affection as he spoke gently, "What's the problem? But you still haven't told me your name."
Xia Wan thought for a moment and murmured softly, "That seems to make sense..."
Then she raised her voice and answered crisply, "My name is Xia Wan. Xia as in summer, and Wan as in night."
After saying that, she looked at Huo Siyuan with curiosity and asked, "What's your name?"
Huo Siyuan smiled and replied softly, "Huo Siyuan."
Xia Wan pondered for a moment before asking, "How do you write your name? Can you write it on my palm?"
As she spoke, she raised one of her hands and placed it against his chest.
Huo Siyuan gazed at Xia Wan's sparkling eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He slowly released his arms from around her, reluctant but willing, and held her hand to teach her how to write his name.
One hand supported Xia Wan's palm, while the other traced each stroke carefully in her hand.
Huo Siyuan wrote seriously, and Xia Wan watched just as intently.
After completing each character, he would ask gently, "Do you know how to write 'Huo' now?"
Xia Wan nodded sweetly and said, "I understand."
Huo Siyuan's gaze never left Xia Wan, and with a playful tone, he said, "Now, write it for me."
This time, Xia Wan held Huo Siyuan's large hand with her small one and wrote in his palm.
It was the first time she held a man's hand and realized how warm it was—so different from a woman's.
The two were so close that Xia Wan wrote with great concentration, while the man watched her just as intently.
Huo Siyuan used one hand to guide Xia Wan and the other to hold her slender waist securely.
After a while, Xia Wan looked up with a bright smile and said, "I got it!"
Seeing Xia Wan's carefree smile, Huo Siyuan couldn't help but smile as well.
His eyes were filled with affection and tenderness, as if Xia Wan were the only person in the world.
This tender moment was witnessed by the people downstairs, who could clearly see the interaction between Huo Siyuan and Xia Wan, as well as the deep emotions on his face.
Previously, they had thought Xia Wan was just a nominal young mistress, but now they realized Huo Siyuan's love for her was genuine and profound.
Everyone sighed in realization—so the legendary Second Young Master wasn't as cold and unfeeling as rumored; he simply hadn't met the right person until now.
With Xia Wan's arrival, everything had changed.
From that moment on, people understood that Xia Wan had rightfully become the young mistress, and they needed to treat her with caution and respect.
After all, it was clear that Second Young Master cherished her deeply, making her position undeniable.
Just then—
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
Huo Siyuan, being the closest to Xia Wan, immediately knew what the sound was and who it came from.
The corners of his mouth lifted into a barely noticeable smile.
Xia Wan, hearing the sound from her stomach and seeing Huo Siyuan smile, blushed deeply in embarrassment.
She lowered her head, wishing she could bury herself in the ground to hide her embarrassment.
Huo Siyuan gently took Xia Wan's hand and said calmly, "Hungry?"
Xia Wan lowered her head and whispered softly, "Mm... I haven't eaten anything since this morning."
Huo Siyuan glanced at his luxurious watch; it was already past noon.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his heart ached for her. She must be starving.
He held her soft, delicate hand tightly, feeling its warmth.
Her hand was so small and soft, almost boneless, making him cherish her even more.
While countless thoughts ran through his mind, he didn't show them. Instead, he held her hand and led her downstairs.
As they walked, Huo Siyuan asked, "Wanwan, what do you like to eat?"
Hearing his words, Xia Wan's heart warmed.
She looked up at Huo Siyuan, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion.
She had never imagined someone would care so much about her preferences.
Thinking back to her past, her family had never truly paid attention to her likes and needs.
Everything was always just "good enough," as if she were an insignificant existence.
Now, Huo Siyuan's concern made her feel an unprecedented warmth.
She tried to recall what she liked to eat, but found it difficult to pinpoint anything specific.
For years, she had been accustomed to accepting whatever was given to her rather than actively choosing her own preferences.
Perhaps because of this, she had become easily satisfied—as long as the food wasn't terrible, she was content.
Lost in thought, Xia Wan unknowingly tightened her grip on Huo Siyuan's hand.
She immersed herself in this rare moment of care and affection.
Huo Siyuan, sensing Xia Wan's reaction, instinctively tightened his grip on her hand.
He understood that she needed comfort and support at this moment, and he was willing to be her stronghold, offering her security.
Feeling his response, Xia Wan's heart filled with warmth.
She looked up at Huo Siyuan and softly said, "I'm not picky."
Huo Siyuan gazed at her, eyes filled with heartache. He knew that behind her words lay countless untold stories and experiences.
He resolved to learn more about her past so he could give her the happiness she deserved.
"Alright, let's try all kinds of delicious food," Huo Siyuan said with a smile.
Xia Wan nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.
She believed that sharing meals with Huo Siyuan would be a beautiful experience, and this care would remain deeply etched in her heart.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Xia Wan thought to herself, "My newlywed husband is really handsome... and so gentle."
Her gaze lingered on Huo Siyuan, and she secretly wondered:
"If I could truly become the person he cherishes most, it would be such a blessing.
I wonder who will be lucky enough to have that?"
Huo Siyuan noticed her staring off into space and couldn't help but ask gently, "Wanwan, what are you thinking about?"
Xia Wan looked up at him sweetly and replied, "Nothing."
No one had ever spaced out while looking at him before; it seemed he still wasn't charming enough in his wife's eyes.
Thinking this, Huo Siyuan glanced down at himself and touched his waist.
Maybe he had been slacking on his workouts lately—he needed to exercise more to present his best self to his wife!
