I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 165 - Signs of Awakening
Chapter 165 -165 Signs of Awakening
Yuan Xi laughed softly, knowing it was inappropriate to laugh given that Old Madam Qian was feeling unwell.
But Qian Yiren’s tactics were truly disgusting.
Qian Yiren surely knew that Huo Shiyuan’s wife had just given birth. If the old lady was truly unwell, couldn’t the Qian Family’s bodyguards and maids take her to the hospital? Why trouble a childhood friend whose wife was still in confinement?
After hanging up the phone, Huo Shiyuan asked Yuan Xi, “Do you want to wash your hair?”
Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes.”
Yuan Xi used to wash her hair almost every day, but after giving birth, she had only washed it once, and that was under the assurance that neither Granny Huo nor Grandma Shi would visit that day.
Washing hair during confinement was a hassle, the water used was specially prepared by the nanny with mugwort.
Seeing that the mugwort water prepared by the nanny was about the right temperature, Huo Shiyuan gently washed Yuan Xi’s hair with his fingers.
Yuan Xi felt that Huo Shiyuan’s movements were even more comforting than the nanny’s.
“President Huo, it’s a shame you didn’t open a hair salon.”
Huo Shiyuan chuckled at Yuan Xi’s comment, “After all, I’ve been practicing since I was young.”
Yuan Xi was stunned, then Huo Shiyuan chided, “Have you forgotten the times I washed your hair when we were kids?”
It took Yuan Xi a while to remember, but indeed, she had long and thick hair as a child, enjoying the luxuriance of hair when she was not yet overwhelmed by work.
When her mother was busy with work, washing her own hair was a massive undertaking, and she always took a long time to blow-dry it unevenly.
Sometimes when Huo Shiyuan came over to play, he would help her wash it.
No wonder it felt so natural now when Huo Shiyuan blow-dried her hair.
“I remember.”
After washing her hair, Yuan Xi felt much relaxed.
On the eve of the New Year, Shi Zhen and Huo Ting also visited Yuan Xi.
Shi Zhen and Huo Ting, having returned from the Funeral Home just days ago, dared to visit Yuan Xi but dared not see the children.
Huo Ting sighed to Huo Shiyuan, “Fortunately, the New Year is coming, and we can pause Fu An Group’s matters for a while. After the New Year, a new round of board meetings may start to determine the new president of Fu An Group.”
Huo Shiyuan replied, “Hopefully, Yixian can wake up soon.”
Shi Zhen, looking at Yuan Xi, noticed her frail appearance and said, “Giving birth really drains one’s vitality, especially having twins. Rest well during this period.”
Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes.”
Perhaps because four nannies were taking care of the children, Yuan Xi felt her physical recovery was quite swift.
She could now walk up and down stairs without needing an elevator, and aside from not being able to go out, there was hardly any difference between being in confinement and not.
Luckily, the New Year was approaching, and Liang Suisui along with Chen Yuanshi were on holiday and could come over daily to keep Yuan Xi company, so she never felt bored.
With the addition of her two children, although they couldn’t interact much yet, Yuan Xi enjoyed watching them all afternoon without tiring.
The day before the Spring Festival.
Yang Ying and Chu Qing also came to Yunsen Court to celebrate the New Year with Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan.
At the dinner table, only Chu Qing and Huo Shiyuan discussed some financial topics concerning the energy sector.
Yang Ying also asked Yuan Xi some repetitive questions that nearly made her ears blister.

Despite being her closest family, an emotional distance filled the room. After Chu Qing and Yang Ying left, Yuan Xi let out a sigh of relief, her professional smile fading.
Seeing Yuan Xi’s relief, Huo Shiyuan pulled her into his embrace, “Time heals all wounds.”
Yuan Xi truly could only rely on time to gradually mend the lost bonds…
But with the Chu Family busy with work, Yuan Xi busy too, and now with two children to care for, a future of geographical separation seemed inevitable, making the mending of bonds not so simple.
On New Year’s Eve, they were to dine at the old Huo Family home.
Originally, they had planned to have a family dinner at Yunsen Court because Yuan Xi was in her postpartum care period, but Yuan Xi had been resting for nearly twenty days, so it was much more convenient for her to travel than for the older folks.
And at Yunsen Court, Huo Shiyan hadn’t considered installing a large round table suitable for family dinners when he was decorating, and most shops were closed for the holidays, making it hard to buy one.
Yuan Xi was wrapped up like a zongzi by Huo Shiyan, who had also placed a thick hat on her head and draped a scarf around her, ensuring that not a single draft could reach her except for her eyes, before he took her to the garage and drove towards the old Huo residence.
In the car, Yuan Xi asked the driver to lower the air conditioning temperature a bit, and she revealed her face to Huo Shiyan, saying, “Is it necessary to be fully armed like this?”
Actually, when they would arrive at the old residence, they could directly enter the house from the garage, where there would be no wind at all.
Huo Shiyan said, “It’s necessary; I don’t want you to have a headache later.”
The old Huo residence was bustling today.
When Yuan Xi arrived, she saw Gu Hanchen playing with Gu Ying and Xiao Shihuo using small poppers.
“Why is Gu Hanchen here?” Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan.
Huo Shiyan said, “Gu Nuan and Xiao Yun went to the Middle East. Gu Ying is still a bit unfamiliar with my aunt, so Gu Hanchen came with Gu Ying.”
Yuan Xi smiled, “Having a brother is pretty good; there’s someone to help look after the kids.”
Huo Shiyan said, “Yes, in that sense, Shihuo isn’t completely useless.”
After entering the garage, Yuan Xi finally was able to take off her down jacket, scarf, and hat.
“Grandpa and Granny.”
“Grandfather and Grandmother.”
Yuan Xi greeted the several elders chatting around the table.
Grandma Shi immediately pulled Yuan Xi over to take a seat, “Where are the kids?”
Yuan Xi said, “My parents are bringing them in another car.”
Just as Yuan Xi finished speaking, Shi Zhen and Huo Ting came in, each carrying a baby basket.
All the elders could hardly wait to see the two children.
Granny Huo said, “You guys haven’t picked names for the two children yet, have you?”
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan, and Huo Shiyan said, “Whatever name is suggested, Yuan Xi always thinks it’s not good enough.”
Hearing Huo Shiyan say this, Yuan Xi didn’t argue; maybe she cared too much about the children, feeling dissatisfied with any name.
Xiao Shihuo entered and said, “Let’s name them Sailuo and Bao Li.”
Shi Zhen touched Xiao Shihuo’s little cheek, “My Huohuo is so great, already coming up with names.”
Hearing Shi Zhen’s praise for Xiao Shihuo, Huo Shiyan scoffed softly.
Yuan Xi held Huo Shiyan’s hand; in terms of parents, they were similar, but she was a bit luckier than Huo Shiyan because she had foster parents.
Xiao Shihuo looked up and said, “Mama, should we name them Sailuo and Bao Li?”
Huo Shiyan frowned and said, “No, if you want to name them Sailuo and Bao Li, you can have your own kids.”
“I’m a boy, how can I have kids?” Xiao Shihuo tilted his head, “Only girls can have kids, and sister is a girl. I can’t have babies.”
Everyone gently laughed, listening to Xiao Shihuo’s childish logic.
“Shiyan.”
Hearing the voice coming from the entrance, Shi Zhen looked toward the standing Qian Yiren and said, “Hurry and close the door; there shouldn’t be any draft inside!”
The grand living room of the old Huo residence faced the front door, which was quite imposing at over three meters high. Opening this door brought cold air blowing inside.
