Chapter 16: Daddy! (2)

“You will be one year old in a couple of days. Your father will also come back for Xiaoxiao’s birthday. Are you happy?”

Huo Xiaoxiao was stunned. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile.

  ——

The day when Huo Suicheng returned to China was not a good day. The plane was almost blown back by a sudden storm in mid-air, but when he finally got off, the clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly.

It was Xiao Wu who came to the airport to pick him up. Seeing that the one-year-old banquet had begun and he still had not yet received Huo Suicheng, he was anxious like ants on a frying pan. He stepped on the accelerator and finally reached in time.

“Brother Cheng, don’t be too sloppy. If Old Man doesn’t see you again, he will be furious.”

Huo Suicheng reposed in the back seat. “What’s the rush?”

“Today is Little Miss’s one-year birthday party, why not hurry? Even if I tell you, you might not believe it. In this year when you were abroad, Xiaoxiao would laugh as soon as she saw your photos. Ever since she learned to walk, she’d stand at the door every day. You are the father of that cute girl. How can you miss such an important occasion?”

Huo Suicheng lifted his eyes.

In the year when he went abroad, his father often mentioned Huo Xiaoxiao on the phone. Shortly before returning, he told him on the phone that he had already missed his daughter’s one-month-old birthday, the hundred-day banquet. If he still missed her one-year-old birthday, there was no need to come back in the future.

A year abroad, amid his busy work, he had gradually forgotten the appearance of Huo Xiaoxiao. He only remembered that day in the hospital when Huo Xiaoxiao was in his arms, and her body was boiling hot.

It’s been a year. I don’t know how the child has grown up.

I don’t think I remember her.

An hour later, the car was parked at the entrance of Huo Mansion. Even while standing there, you could hear the laughter coming from inside.

He pushed open the car door and walked in. The three floors in the hall of Huo Mansion were packed with people. Even when he came back, no one noticed.

Looking through the crowd, the large table was covered with soft flannel. In the middle was a little girl wearing a white dress and a crown.

In front of the little girl was a book, a writing brush, an inkstone, a bank card, a blue diamond necklace, a Lamborghini car key, a door key, and some humble little things.

Old Master Huo coaxed her, “Xiaoxiao, look at these things in front of you. You can choose whichever you like, and it will be yours.”

Huo Xiaoxiao was once again surrounded by the onlookers and had no pressure in her heart. She glanced at the things prepared for her in front of her.

The writing brush was a jadeite brush used by a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. The inkstone was the same as this brush, also used by that renowned calligrapher. The amount in the bank card was definitely not low. The sapphire necklace was even more valuable.

She climbed over happily, with a brush in her left hand and an inkstone in her right hand… Since the inkstone was heavy, just let it go.

She grabbed the sapphire necklace with one hand. Glancing back at the bank card, she sandwiched it between the ring and pinky finger of her left hand. Next, she strung the car keys in the pinky of her right hand. Finally, she looked at her full hands.

Damn it! I only have two hands!

Looking down, she noticed her two fat feet were empty. She hooked her toes and put the keyring of the car keys on the thumb of her foot. With a smile on her face, she grabbed the door key on the table.

Only children made choices, while an adult wanted everything!

The crowd, who was still discussing what Huo Xiaoxiao would choose, suddenly turned quiet.

They had no doubt that if Huo Xiaoxiao had more than two hands, nothing would be left on the table.

Immersed in happiness like an adult, Huo Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up in a certain direction in the crowd. Her eyes brightened as if she had seen something she liked best.

She got up and stumbled in that direction.

“Daddy!”

A childish and ambiguous voice sounded, and everyone followed Huo Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

Huo Suicheng did not know when he was standing in the crowd.

Huo Xiaoxiao cried with excitement as she walked.

I!

Huo Xiaoxiao!

At last!
