Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, Huo Tian and Si Huan clearly did not know Ding Chen well enough. They thought that Ding Chen would at most have a quarrel with Xi Cheng and would then accept his brother-in-law’s sudden appearance after some time. However, what no one expected was that the moment Ding Chen returned home and saw the man beside Ding Rong, he pounced on Xi Cheng without a word and punched him hard in the face…
At that time, Huo Tian was still in school and Xi Cheng and Ding Rong were at home. Coincidentally, there was a customer who came to collect the clothes they had left here for alteration.
While Ding Rong was talking to the guests, Xi Cheng sat by the side and waited quietly. His gaze kept following Ding Rong’s figure.
The customer had known Ding Rong for a long time. Although they were not considered friends, they could still joke around a little.
The customer’s gaze shifted back and forth between Ding Rong and Xi Cheng, then she winked at Ding Rong suggestively and whispered into her ear, “This man looks very good. He’s also very compatible with you. Your daughter is already so old, so you should look for your own happiness. It’s so hard for you to have finally thought things through. It’s really not easy.”
Ding Rong’s cheeks flushed red as she looked at the customer reproachfully. Her tone was also gentler than usual. “Sister, don’t joke with me. This is my daughter’s biological father. He had been overseas previously and has finally returned recently.”
This customer was filled with shock and curiosity, but since she wasn’t particularly familiar with Ding Rong, she couldn’t ask about her family matters directly. She could only leave the tailor’s shop regretfully.
She had only gone out for a few steps when the guest bumped into Ding Chen. She quickly greeted him, also wanting to gossip. “Ding Chen, I heard from your sister that you’ve been abroad on a business trip for the past two days. You probably haven’t seen your brother-in-law yet, right? Oh my, you should hurry home now. Your family can finally be reunited. Congratulations…”
Ding Chen forced a smile. Anyone could tell that he did not look happy at all as if there was a happy family matter. “Thank you, Sister. I still have something to do, so I won’t chat with you anymore.”
The customer saw Ding Chen’s cold face as he strode towards his house with murderous intent.
The guest was a little dumbfounded. “Why do I feel like he’s not going to acknowledge a family but to seek revenge?”
In just a few minutes, the customer felt that had incredible foresight. Wasn’t Ding Chen back to seek revenge?
She hadn’t gone far when she heard a woman’s gasp coming from the tailor shop. It was Ding Rong’s voice. Clearly, she had been given a shock.
The customer’s curiosity was piqued. Her eyes darted around and she tiptoed back. She bent down and squatted under the window of the tailor shop, her ears pricked up to listen to the voices inside…
After Ding Rong sent the customer away, she tidied up the mess on the sewing machine. Xi Cheng was like a curious child as he stood beside Ding Rong, talking to her while curiously picking up the colorful buttons, pins, and other things from the transparent box to play with.
Ding Rong found him a hindrance and hit his arm gently, saying reproachfully, “You and Tiantian are indeed biological father and daughter. You’re curious about everything.”
Xi Cheng raised his eyebrows proudly. “Of course my daughter is like me. Isn’t there a saying that daughters resemble their father and sons resemble their mothers? If we have another boy, he’ll definitely look more like you…”
Ding Rong was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. She chided him softly, “How old are you already? You’re still so frivolous!”
Although she was no longer a young girl, Ding Rong’s looks and disposition were not inferior to when she was young, especially when she was shy.. She was even more charming than a little girl. Xi Cheng had an idea and lowered his head to lean towards Ding Rong…
