Huo Xiaoxiao was at a loss . Who am I, where am I, and why am I being dragged away?
Huo Xiaoxiao looked up at him with difficulty .
Huo Suicheng looked down at her and said nothing .
After looking at each other for two seconds, they saw the shock in each other’s eyes .
Huo Suicheng was shocked that Huo Xiaoxiao could trip on the flat ground .
Huo Xiaoxiao was shocked that a father could be like this .
Indeed . A father who did not care for his daughter’s life!
She decided to stay away from Huo Shuicheng when no one was around . Her life with him was not too assuring!

After being dragged for a few steps, Huo Xiaoxiao felt some pain in her knee . She started to curl her small mouth, wanting to cry .
Huo Suicheng picked her up from the ground and whispered, “Don’t cry!”
Perhaps sensing that his tone was too firm, he relaxed . “Your grandfather is in poor health . Don’t disturb him . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao: “…”
In order to cover up his “evil deeds” just now, Huo Suicheng handed her in Aunt Zhao’s care and briefly explained the reason for Xu Manyin’s dismissal .
Aunt Zhao deliberated before asking, “What about Xiaoxiao’s early education?”
“I’ll find someone else . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao tugged Aunt Zhao’s hand, looked at her father with injustice, and lifted her little skirt, pointing to the fresh red bruise on her knee . “It hurts . ”
Aunt Zhao hurriedly squatted down to take a look and exclaimed, “Xiaoxiao, what happened? Why is your knee so red? Where did you fall?”

The “suspect” Huo Suicheng coughed in a low voice in an attempt to cover up his crime by shifting the blame on his daughter . “Just now, she accidentally fell down . Children often trip . Don’t be nervous . Just rub some ointment on it . Don’t tell the old man . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao begrudgingly looked at him .
Aunt Zhao frowned .
In addition to Xu Manyin, she had taken care of Xiaoxiao the longest . She usually looked after her like she was her own granddaughter . Hence, she felt distressed when she bumped into something . Aunt Zhao immediately found an ointment for Huo Xiaoxiao .
At that moment, Huo Suicheng received a phone call . “Yongfu Club? Yes, I’ll see you later . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao’s ear immediately perked up . When she heard his words, she looked up and saw Huo Suicheng walking upstairs .
“Xiaoxiao, you always like to jump around; where did you fall? Does it hurt?”
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded .
“You have to pay attention in the future, alright? It must have been so painful . ”

While Aunt Zhao applied the lotion, Huo Suicheng changed his clothes and was ready to go out .
The dark-blue suit was meticulously worn, the bow tie was neatly tied under the neck area, there was no trace of wrinkles in the trousers, and the leather shoes were bright and spotless .
Huo Suicheng was a bit easy-going in his home clothes . But when he put on his suit, he exuded a cold and indifferent aura .
Once Huo Xiaoxiao saw Huo Suicheng going out in a suit and tie, she hurriedly jumped down from the sofa and ran to the front of Huo Suicheng .
Aunt Zhao frowned again . “Xiaoxiao, don’t run . Slow down!”
Huo Suicheng looked at his daughter, who had stopped him in front of him . “What’s wrong?”
Huo Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and tried to recall the pronunciation of the words she wanted to say . One by one, she barely managed to spit them out . “I want… to dig… out… plant . ”
“…”
So useless!
What kind of stuff am I talking about!
“…”
“Go… out… to… play!” After a strenuous effort, her cheeks turned red, and she finally explained what she wanted to say word by word .
She didn’t know what Old Master Huo was thinking . He hadn’t taken her out once in the past year . The farthest distance she had gone so far was just wandering in the community . She had never seen the prosperous world outside .
It was unsuitable to bring a child where he wanted to go, so he immediately said, “I’ll take you out next time . Play at home with Aunt Zhao today . ”
Play at home?
Are you kidding me?
I have been playing at home for a year!
