Chapter 77 - What’s Mine Is Hers
Drinking a bowl of hot, hearty soup after a meal indeed warmed the body from the inside out. Regardless of the effects of the soup, it felt amazing.
In the end, the few people had almost drained the entire contents of the gigantic pot of soup.
The few of them who were just slightly full just now were now stuffed after drinking the soup.
When people overate, it was easy to feel sleepy. That was the case for the Su family.
However, the realization that someone was still here immediately chased away the drowsiness of Mr. Su and Big brother Su, and they looked at Huo Chenhuan appraisingly.
"Come to the study with me." Mr. Su scanned Huo Chenhuan from head to toe and then left with Su Yuxuan.
Huo Chenhuan tightened his hand holding the wheelchair, but he said nothing and obediently followed behind.
Su Yayan was a little anxious when she saw this. She got up to follow him, but Cheng Xiuqin stopped her.
"Mom... Dad and Brother..."
"What about them? They only want to talk to him about some matters and won't swallow him whole. Look how nervous it made you. Just wait here with me and don't go anywhere."
Su Yayan was not comforted at all. In her heart, she thought that they would not swallow him whole, but they would do more terrible things than swallow him!
At that moment, the father and son, who Su Yayan had affirmed were about to do terrible things, walked into the study and started talking, "There are some things I need to confirm with you with regards to the dowry list recently handed over by the Huo family. I also have some questions I want to ask you in person."
"Please go ahead."
Mr. Su stared closely at Huo Chenhuan in the eye and said solemnly, "Are you sure that you really want to give all the assets in your name to Yanyan as dowry?"
If it were not for the sudden situation of becoming in-laws with Huo Chenhuan, Mr. Su would not have known that Huo Chenhuan had so many properties under his name. He was not behind Huo Qihan, who was the nominal head of the Huo family. In fact, his assets could be far more than Huo Qihan's.
"Yes," Huo Chenhuan replied without thinking, "In my opinion, there is nothing in this world that can compare with her. What's mine is hers."
"Yanyan said you have liked her for a long time. Is it true?"
Huo Chenhuan's expression changed slightly, and he could not help revealing a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes. However, he soon recomposed himself and said honestly, "It's true. I have liked her for a long time, more than any of you have known."
Mr. Su quavered slightly in his eyes. "If that's the case, why didn't you say anything last time? Why didn't you appear when Yanyan and Huo Shaofeng were engaged?"
"Because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself."
Su Yuxuan raised his eyebrows at him. "You can't control yourself?"
"I want her more than anyone else in this world. I wish to own her and even possess her entire being."
The faces of the father and son of the Su family clouded over, and their steely gazes at Huo Chenhuan were like sharp arrows. They wanted to poke dozens of holes in him now after hearing this.
Huo Chenhuan turned a blind eye to the hostility from the two of them. In his opinion, the biggest obstacle between Su Yayan and himself back then was never other people but himself.
"But I couldn't do that because I... can't give her happiness. She deserves to have a complete and contented marriage, a healthy husband, and a... precious child."
"Then why have you changed your mind now?"
"Because she said that she loves me, and I also realized..." Huo Chenhuan looked at Mr. Su in the eye and said each word with certainty, "No one in this world loves her more than I, and no one can bring her happiness more than I."
