"I’ll hold her while you feed her. It’s hard for you to feed her medicine alone; Tianxin will struggle." Huo Shaohua spoke patiently, not angry at all.
He was a bit excessive yesterday and now tries to make amends.
He shouldn’t have strained their relationship because of a stranger.
Still, he was upset that she didn’t tell him the surname of that man - Li.
Why did she hide it? Does she really have some undisclosed relationship with him?
Judging by her appearance, it seems unlikely. If she was hiding something from him, it would be visible on her face.
She couldn’t conceal her thoughts; they were written all over her face. For instance, now she didn’t want to see him...
Tian Xingyun saw his earnestness and kept silent.
Adults’ conflicts shouldn’t be dragged into children’s matters. Now, it’s more important to feed Tianxin her medicine.
With her parents feeding her the medicine, Tianxin didn’t fuss and obediently took it.
After taking the medicine, Tianxin sat on the carpet and played, while the adults had dinner.
After dinner, Aunt Liu and Ping went to rest in their rooms, leaving Tian Xingyun and Huo Shaohua alone in the living room.
Tianxin sat on the carpet playing with her new toy, tugging at the ears of her teddy bear.
"Sweetheart, if you pull the bear’s ears like that, they’ll break. That’s not right," Huo Shaohua said softly as he sat beside Tianxin, his hand supporting her back, fearing she might fall.
Tianxin was now in her enlightenment stage, starting to understand adult words.
Children should be taught early; his daughter can’t become one of those spoiled young heiresses.
She should be taught the right things from a young age, even starting with her toys.
Tianxin stopped tugging at the bear’s ears, blinking her big eyes as if she was thinking.
A few seconds later, she hugged the bear, turned her head and giggled at her father.
"Such a smart daughter!" Huo Shaohua raised his eyebrows in delight, bending down to kiss her forehead.
The little girl seemed to understand his words. His daughter was indeed very smart.
Tian Xingyun sat on the couch, watching the father-daughter interaction, and smiled happily.
No matter how excessive he was with her, he was very good to their daughter, and she didn’t hope for anything more.
She got up and went to her room, leaving the father and daughter to play in the living room.
Returning to her room, she sat by the bed, looking at the gift Hu Yuxi had given her.
Should she open it? But if she did, would that mean she accepted his feelings?
He might just be joking. How could he really like her?
Staring at the box, she was curious about what was inside. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelꞁire.net
Unable to resist the curiosity, she opened the box.
Inside was a necklace...
Tian Xingyun was slightly stunned. She saw the necklace Huo Shaohua bought for Song Yi today.
It’s false to say she wasn’t envious, perhaps even a bit jealous...
Because no matter what Song Yi did, he always loved her and cherished her.
And she... had nothing.
Today, Hu Yuxi’s words surprised her, and he even gave her a necklace.
She was cared for by someone too.
How should she face Hu Yuxi... She didn’t know how to respond to him.
She had promised Huo Shaohua six years of not being with any man.
Moreover, Hu Yuxi was his cousin, which made it even more impossible for them to be together.
If they were together, their relationship would be completely messed up.
She didn’t have such feelings for Hu Yuxi; she just saw him as a good friend, nothing more.
She put the lid back on the box and placed it on the cupboard, then walked tiredly into the bathroom to soak in the tub.
With Tianxin being taken care of by him, she could relax and enjoy her bath.
She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and while soaking, she fell asleep.
When she awoke, the water was already cold. She grabbed a towel to dry herself.
She walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas and saw Huo Shaohua standing by the bed, holding the gift Hu Yuxi had given her.
