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!
Can talk!
