Chapter 54: This Is Definitely A Test! (1)

Inside the classroom, the last child had been picked up by their parents.

Huo Xiaoxiao stood at the door, watching the corridor leading to the classroom gradually getting empty.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. Your father has already arrived. He was called to the teacher’s office. He will come after he deals with it.”

“Daddy is in the teacher’s office? What is he doing there?”

“I’m not very clear about that.”

“Then, can I go to Daddy?”

The teacher looked at the classroom and noticed that there were no other children.

“Okay. I’ll take you there.”

Huo Xiaoxiao grabbed her school bag and took the teacher’s hand to the office. There was no one in the office. One of the teachers pointed towards the lounge. As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she heard a loud scream.

“Daddy, I want to marry Huo Xiaoxiao!”

“Daddy, I want to marry Huo Xiaoxiao!”

“Huo Xiaoxiao is mine!”

“She is mine!”

Huo Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

These little brats… are really boastful!

They were only three or four years old, yet they were clamoring to marry her.

When Huo Xiaoxiao opened the door, the chaos in the lounge finally came to a stop. The two children turned around and noticed Huo Xiaoxiao, instantly stopping their quarrel.

Yi Qian remembered his promise to Huo Xiaoxiao that he would not bully Zhouzhou anymore. Otherwise, Xiaoxiao would not speak to him again.

Zhouzhou remembered that Huo Xiaoxiao did not like it when Yi Qian bullied others, so he must not learn it from Yi Qian.

“Daddy!”

Huo Suicheng got up and asked, “Why are you here?”

“I was waiting in the classroom for a long time, but you didn’t come. I asked the teacher to take me to find Daddy.” Huo Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Yi Qian and Zhouzhou. “What were you guys just saying?”

Huo Suicheng asked her, “Yi Qian and Lu Xingchen both said they like you. What do you think?”

Yi Qian and Zhouzhou looked at Huo Xiaoxiao. Their hands were nervously rubbing the corners of their clothes as they waited for Huo Xiaoxiao’s answer.

Huo Xiaoxiao was puzzled by her father’s words. What could she think?

“Use your eyes.”

What do these kids know? Their thoughts change each day. If they said something today, that doesn’t necessarily mean they would mean it tomorrow.

How long would a child of their age remember things? When they grow up, they may not even remember me at all.

Huo Suicheng looked at her. “Who do you like more: Yi Qian or Lu Xingchen?”

Yi Qian and Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up.

Huo Xiaoxiao seriously thought about it. Although Yi Qian was domineering, he usually treated her well and gave her ice cream and fried chicken.

Zhouzhou wasn’t bad either. He was cute and obedient and brought her chocolates every day.

The two kids were so cute. How could she choose between them?

This was too difficult!

“Yi…” Huo Xiaoxiao just wanted to speak but trailed off when she saw Huo Suicheng’s cold eyes.

" "

His eyes were surrounded by a layer of chilly frost, and there was no trace of her father’s usual love.

Huo Xiaoxiao’s mouth closed immediately. This was definitely a test.

With his scheming personality, when he asked her this question in front of Yi Qian and Zhouzhou, didn’t it mean he was plotting something?

Fortunately, she spoke slowly and responded quickly.

She would never let him succeed!

“Yi Qian and Zhouzhou… are both very good, but I like Daddy the most! Daddy is the best!”

Huo Suicheng raised his eyebrows. The frost in his eye instantly melted, and he hugged Huo Xiaoxiao in his arms. He looked back at the two children and their fathers. “Mr. Zhao, let’s end this matter here. I have something to do, so we will take our leave.”

Without giving anyone a chance to speak, he immediately left with Huo Xiaoxiao.

Huo Xiaoxiao rested her head on her daddy’s shoulder, watching Yi Qian and Zhouzhou snorting coldly. They were clearly dissatisfied with how things had ended.

They really were little kids.

At this time, the kindergarten children were almost all picked up. When they left the school, there were only a few parents in sight.

So, when Ji Wenxin showed up in front of the school with Qianqian, it was particularly noticeable.

“Qianqian, go home with Mommy, okay? Mommy will make you a good meal.”

Qianqian’s one hand was being pulled by Ji Wenxin, while her other hand clenched the railing of the hallway.

“I don’t want to! I have to wait a little longer!” she replied coquettishly.

“We have been waiting for a long time. Tell Mommy, what are you waiting for?”

“I’m waiting for Zhouzhou. He was beaten by another kid today, and now his father is also here. I want to wait for him.”

Ji Wenxin was helpless. She sighed and looked in the direction of the teacher’s office. She happened to see Huo Suicheng and Huo Xiaoxiao, who were walking towards them.

On the second day of Qianqian’s enrollment, Huo Suicheng had transferred Xiaoxiao to another class. Ji Wenxin knew very well that he was making Xiaoxiao try to avoid contact with her.

The fact was proved after Xiaoxiao was transferred to another class. She rarely saw her again.

“Mr. Huo…”

Huo Suicheng passed her without any intention of stopping.

Huo Xiaoxiao quietly laid on her father’s shoulder, staring at Ji Wenxin.

Ji Wenxin held Qianqian’s hand tightly. She looked at Huo Xiaoxiao, her feet wanting to move forward and chase after them.

“Mr. Huo, I want to talk to you.”

Huo Suicheng stopped and finally looked back at Ji Wenxin.

“I’ll find time to talk to you, but before that, please be careful.”

Qianqian’s hand was hurting as Ji Wenxin’s grip was too hard. She yelled, “Mommy, it hurts!”

Ji Wenxin let go of Qianqian’s hand like she got an electric shock.

At that moment, there were chaotic footsteps on the other side of the school. Apparently, Yi Qian and Zhouzhou had come out.

When Qianqian saw Zhouzhou, she ran over.

“Zhouzhou, are you okay!” She took his hand and looked at the bruise on his face with concern.

Zhouzhou didn’t like to be held by her. He pulled his hand back, but it was caught again by Qianqian.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked in Xiaoxiao’s direction. He just happened to see Xiaoxiao also looking at him, watching him being held by another child.

He quickly threw Qianqian’s hand away, feeling a little at a loss. “Xiaoxiao, I… I… not like this. I don’t like her. Don’t get me wrong!”

" "

Qianqian was caught off guard after being dumped. She almost fell to the ground. She wanted to cry.

“…”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s mood was really hard to describe. Why did it feel so weird?

“Daddy, I want to go home.”

Huo Suicheng didn’t stay any longer.

Lu Lixing knocked on Zhouzhou’s head. ”Lu Xingchen, help her up.”

Seeing Huo Xiaoxiao leaving, Zhouzhou sighed in frustration and unwillingly pulled Qianqian up from the ground.

Yi Qian looked at Qianqian, who was following Zhouzhou, and said, “Looks like you have friends who play with you. Why are you looking for Xiaoxiao?”

They were all children, so how could they think about taking care of others so much? Zhouzhou was anxious and opened his mouth, “I… I don’t like playing with her!”

Qianqian immediately started crying after hearing Zhouzhou’s words. She turned back and threw herself into Ji Wenxin’s embrace.

Zhouzhou pointed at her. “Look, she cries every time! That’s why I don’t want to play with her!”

Ji Wenxin calmed Qianqian and looked at Lu Lixing with accusation.

Lu Lixing scolded Zhouzhou, “Lu Xicheng, is that how you talk to your friends?”

Zhouzhou was very scared of his father when he was angry. Hearing Lu Lixing’s reprimand, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Lu Lixing apologized to Ji Wenxin, “Sorry. I taught my child wrong.”

Ji Wenxin shook her head. “It’s okay. I understand.”

——

Huo Suicheng and Huo Xiaoxiao were on their way home.

Huo Xiaoxiao was quite surprised that her father was so free these days. Didn’t he say that he was busy with work? It was only three o’clock in the afternoon. Didn’t he need to go to the office?

“Daddy, aren’t you busy with work? There was no need to pick me up.”

“I’ll drop you home first.”

“Won’t it delay Daddy’s work?”

“Daddy is the boss. No one has the courage to say anything if I miss work.”

This was similar to what Huo Suicheng said before: “Daddy is the boss. No one dares to call me for work.”

“Then, why didn’t Daddy come to pick me up before?”

Huo Suicheng’s eyes coolly swept over her. “Huo Xiaoxiao, does your mouth feel uncomfortable if you don’t speak?”

“…” So annoying!

Huo Suicheng was pondering today’s events at school. Thinking about Ji Wenxin, who he had just seen at the school entrance, he looked at Huo Xiaoxiao. She could not understand the emotions he was going through. After considering it for a while, he called her out, “Xiaoxiao.”

Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at him.

If her father called her Xiaoxiao instead of Huo Xiaoxiao, he must be up to something.

“Daddy, don’t call me like that. I’m scared.”

“… Huo Xiaoxiao!”

“What is it?”

“In the school just now…” Huo Suicheng frowned, not knowing what to say.

“Daddy is talking about Qianqian’s mother, right?”

“Yes.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you want to see her? Maybe talk to her?”

Huo Xiaoxiao remembered her father telling her that Qianqian’s mother was her own mother. Ever since then, she was full of confusion, but she didn’t take it to heart.

Was he testing her attitude?

Huo Xiaoxiao seriously thought about it this time. She didn’t have any feelings towards Ji Wenxin. In fact, she was even a little grateful and curious.

She always remembered that when she was just born, there was someone by her side gently stroking the back of her hand. The sense of security at that time was like being in a warm ocean.

She wanted to see her.

I also want to thank her for having suffered so much when giving birth to me.

Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Suicheng and nodded. “Yes.”

Huo Suicheng’s eyes went dim, and his voice dropped, “Then Daddy will let you meet her after two days?”

“Okay!”

The car stopped. “Mr. Huo, we’ve arrived.”

Huo Suicheng got out of the car, then hugged Huo Xiaoxiao and walked inside.

Huo Xiaoxiao was still being carried. His broad shoulders gave her a sense of security more than when she was in the warm embrace before.

“Daddy, is she married?”

“Yes.”

“Then, Qianqian is her daughter?”

“Not sure. Maybe.”

Huo Xiaoxiao held her father’s face. “What is Daddy worried about? She has a daughter and is already married. How can I go to her house? Daddy and Grandpa have taken care of me until now. I don’t want to leave here.”

“When did I say I was worried?”

“Don’t think I don’t know. I heard what you and Grandpa were talking about that day. Daddy was worried that I would like Mommy and leave with her.”

“Then, will you go with her?”

“Daddy, you have to treat me nicely in the future, or else I’ll really leave.”

“When did I treat you badly?”

“Treat me better. For example, let me eat ice cream tonight!”

Huo Suicheng let out a dry chuckle. “Look at your little belly. Aren’t you afraid of getting fat if you eat ice cream?”

“It’s the last one. I’ll start losing weight from tomorrow onwards!”

Although Huo Suicheng didn’t say anything, Huo Xiaoxiao could feel that her father’s stiff shoulders had loosened a lot.

“Daddy, I lied today when I said I like Daddy the most. Actually, my favorite is not Daddy but grandpa!”

Huo Suicheng freed up a hand and squeezed her cheeks. “You get half of the ice cream today.”

Huo Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “Stingy.”
