It would be a lie to say that she was not excited .
Huo Xiaoxiao had been lying in the crib for a whole month . She finally learned to crawl when she felt that her limbs were almost degenerating .
Her hands and feet hadn’t rested much since she learned to crawl . Besides, she’d never lie in her crib as a salty fish if she could crawl on the ground .
Later, when she learned to walk after eight months, she cheerfully strolled around the mansion with her two short legs every day .
Now that she could speak, Huo Xiaoxiao was so excited that tears filled her eyes . She ran to Huo Suicheng with trembling legs . In order to make sure that she could speak properly, her mouth babbled incessantly . She disregarded her image in public, appearing impolite .
At a distance of five or six meters, she quickened her pace, made a sprint, clutched the gifts in her hands tightly, and jumped into Huo Suicheng’s arms . Her small mouth spread to the back of her ears; her big eyes, like black grapes, narrowed into a slit; and she called out to her father in a muffled voice .

Perhaps it was by nature, but Huo Suicheng’s mind thought faster than Huo Xiaoxiao when he turned to look at her . His arms were not stiff, either . Instinctively, he made preparations in advance and held his daughter in his arms .
When he finally reacted, a little soft ball in his arms looked up and smiled at him .
The smell of milk on the tip of his nose was still fresh in his memory .
Huo Suicheng thought on his way back that since he had not seen his child for more than a year, he had long forgotten her face . Perhaps, he might not even recognize her .
When he took Huo Xiaoxiao out of the hospital, she was just born a short time ago . Most likely, she did not remember him either .
But when he came in from the door and saw Huo Xiaoxiao’s face, she didn’t feel like a stranger . Instead, there was an exclamation in his heart . This child has grown so big .

The one-year-old also seemed to remember him, rushing over to hug him .
One minute before, he saw her racking her brain over how to ‘take possession’ of these gifts on the table, but the next minute, she had jumped into his arms .
It looked like in her eyes, those gifts were not so important anymore, as if she had seen something much more valuable .
Huo Suicheng hugged her and walked in front of his father, as usual, with no facial expression . Even his child, who called him “father” and hugged her, could not cause his mood to fluctuate .
He had come back late; therefore, Old Master Huo was not that pleased . “Why did you come back now?”
But he didn’t scold him too much . When Old Master Huo looked down at Huo Xiaoxiao, his eyes became tender and gentle . “You have no conscience . Your grandpa has looked after you for more than a year . ”

Huo Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to make the old man happy . But even after two tries, she couldn’t utter a word for a long time .
She was horrified to find that although she could speak, she could only say “father” .
“Ba! Ba!
“…” Huo Xiaoxiao was in a complicated mood .
The old man felt sorry for his granddaughter, but he didn’t really care whether she called her father or grandfather first . He looked at her full hands and the car keys hanging on her toes and smiled . “You clever little girl, do you feel that you have enough in your two hands? Look at what’s left on this table . ”
The old man, who always liked to tease his granddaughter, immediately took the things from her hands . Whether she could understand or not, he said to her, “If you want them, come to Grandpa . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao sighed .
Old Master Huo was good at everything . But she was helpless because he treated her like a child all day long .
Was there any need to choose?
Money might be precious, but familial love was much more so!
Was the father-daughter affection between her and Huo Suicheng comparable to these sports cars, villas, and bank cards?
She and her father hadn’t seen each other for a year . How could she abandon her father because of this?
