Chapter 292 The Heroine of an Old-Fashioned Romance Novel 12

"and many more!"

Huo Chen suddenly raised his hand. "I'll give it to you."

The key traced an arc in the air.

Third Uncle caught it in one swift motion, his face beaming with ecstatic joy:

"Finally...finally..."

In that split second, the old lady suddenly elbowed the man in black behind her into the abdomen, and at the same time bent her knee and slammed it into his groin!

"what!"

The man in black, in pain, released his grip.

Huo Chen reacted with lightning speed. He rushed forward and simultaneously pulled a miniature pistol from his sleeve.

With a "bang," blood splattered from the wrist of the third uncle who was holding the gun!

"Make your move!" Huo Chen shouted sharply.

The bodyguards immediately opened fire, accurately taking down all the men in black carrying guns.

The entire hall instantly descended into chaos.

"No!"

Third Uncle, clutching his bleeding wrist, roared hysterically, "You have no idea what's inside the Heavenly Secret Box! It's—"

Suddenly, the entire castle shook violently, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling crashed down.

Ji Xiaosong was held in Huo Chen's arms and barely managed to stand firm amidst the violent tremors.

After going to great lengths, Third Uncle finally obtained the Heavenly Secret Box, and Ji Xiaosong's gaze pierced through the falling dust, fixed on the golden Heavenly Secret Box in Third Uncle's hand.

It wasn't a box at all, but a sheet of paper that gleamed with gold, covered with dense writing.

"That's... a page from the Book of Fate?"

She murmured to herself, memories flooding back like a tide.

"Ah Song!"

Rongrong's voice exploded in her mind, "I remember now! This is the page of the Book of Fate that was torn up by the Star Lord of Destiny! No wonder the Huo family has been able to prosper for so long, they actually..."

The third uncle laughed maniacally, trembling as he unfolded the page of gold paper: "Do you see it? This is the Huo family's secret! The power to control destiny!"

His gaze swept greedily across the paper, but suddenly froze. "This...this is impossible..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huo Chen snatched the gold paper and said coldly, "Third Uncle, you don't understand what this is at all."

Ji Xiaosong leaned closer and saw that the following words were clearly written on the gold paper:

"The Huo family is a powerful force in the business world, yet they defy fate and have difficulty conceiving. Only when their destined child appears and twins are born can this calamity be resolved..."

It details how the Huo family can go further and further, even setting the timeline for the future.

At the very bottom, there is a line of smaller print: "Written by the God of Destiny. Anyone who peeks at this page will be punished by Heaven."

Third Uncle's face turned deathly pale: "No...this is impossible...how could the Huo family's secret be..."

"curse?"

Huo Chen sneered, "You think what our ancestors left behind were all secrets to wealth and glory? No, this is a warning!"

The castle trembled more and more violently, and the walls began to crack.

Ji Xiaosong gripped Huo Chen's sleeve tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She had lost much of her interest in the internal strife within the Huo family.

She looked up at the man who was holding her protectively in his arms and suddenly felt completely unfamiliar with him.

"so……"

Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, "You knew from the very beginning?"

Huo Chen's body stiffened for a moment. He looked down at her, and a hint of panic flashed in his usually sharp eyes.

The castle's rubble fell in a flurry, crashing around them, yet it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

Ji Xiaosong then noticed that Huo Chen was faintly glowing with a golden light, which was the power of the Fate Tablet protecting him.

"Honey, I..."

"Don't call me wife!"

She shoved him away abruptly, staggering back a few steps. "So all that talk about love at first sight, about being irreplaceable, was just a lie? Just because I'm the 'destined one' written in the Book of Fate?"

The twins in her womb seemed to sense the mother's emotional fluctuations and began to move restlessly.

Ji Xiaosong bent over in pain, but stubbornly refused to let Huo Chen get close.

"not like this."

Huo Chen's voice was hoarse, "I did know about the destined person from the beginning, but I..."

"You what?"

Ji Xiaosong gave a bitter laugh, "You dare say you approached me not because of this?"

Huo Chen fell silent.

This man, who was invincible in the business world, was now as helpless as a child who had done something wrong.

Third Uncle suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Huo Chen, you've finally met your match!"

He clutched his bleeding wrist, his eyes filled with malicious glee. "You think you're the only one who can scheme? The Book of Fate doesn't say that this destined person will willingly bear your child!"

"Shut up!"

Huo Chen shouted and fired a shot, the bullet grazing his third uncle's ear.

Ji Xiaosong felt a chill run down her spine as she watched this scene.

She recalled Huo Chen's meaningful gaze when they met for the second time, his meticulously planned approach, and his words during his marriage proposal: "In the Huo family, there are no divorces, only widowhoods..."

Everything now makes sense.

"A Song..."

Rongrong's voice was filled with heartache, "Why don't we leave here first..."

Ji Xiaosong did not answer Rongrong, but said to Huo Chen indifferently, "I will give birth to the child and give it to you. The Huo family has millions of employees around the world and has a far-reaching influence. The children have an obligation to shoulder this responsibility. As for the rest, I don't want to think about it too much right now."

After saying that, she turned to walk out of the castle. The pain in her abdomen made her stagger, but she still stubbornly straightened her back.

"stop!"

Huo Chen's voice boomed behind him, carrying an undeniable authority.

She ignored him and continued walking forward.

Huo Chen strode towards the castle gate, simultaneously ordering his bodyguards in a stern voice: "Take care of it."

Uncle San's hysterical cursing stopped abruptly, replaced by a dull thud of a gun barrel.

"Chen'er!"

The old lady hurriedly stepped forward, "Let's talk this out..."

Huo Chen kept walking: "Grandma, let's go home first."

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then sighed and left the dilapidated castle under the escort of bodyguards.

Huo Chen quickly caught up with Ji Xiaosong and pulled her back.

Ji Xiaosong tried to break free from Huo Chen's grip: "Let go!"

"do not move."

Huo Chen suddenly scooped her up in his arms and strode out, saying, "This place is going to collapse."

The castle's beams and pillars groaned under the weight, as large chunks of rubble rained down from above.

Huo Chen held her protectively in his arms, using his back to shield her from all the flying pebbles.

Ji Xiaosong could feel his muscles tense, but he didn't even utter a sound.

The helicopter was already waiting in the courtyard.

Huo Chen carried her onto the plane, his movements forceful yet tender.

The moment the cabin door closed, the entire castle collapsed with a roar, kicking up clouds of dust.

Huo Chen carried the struggling Ji Xiaosong onto the plane and secured her firmly to her seat.

"Huo Chen, what gives you the right—"

"Because you're carrying my child."

Huo Chen fastened his seatbelt and said in a low voice, "Because you are my wife."

"I'm leaving now; I don't want to be with you anymore."

Huo Chen's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he grabbed Ji Xiaosong's wrist: "Don't even think about it."

As the helicopter took off, Ji Xiaosong gazed out the window at the snow-capped mountains and ancient castles receding into the distance, and suddenly felt utterly exhausted.

The contractions in her abdomen grew more and more intense, and she bit her lip to keep herself from groaning.

Why don't you speak up when it hurts?

Huo Chen suddenly grabbed her hand, so tightly that it almost hurt her.

She stubbornly turned her face away: "It's none of your business."
