Huo Shaohua frowned slightly as he looked at the text message; her behavior this time was particularly strange.
But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was strange. Maybe she had really figured things out and was trying to change herself.
He didn’t reply to her. Instead, he put the phone back in its original place.
"The dress will be delivered tomorrow. When the time comes, you’ll come with me to the banquet." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel•fire.net
"I’m not going!" Tian Xingyun frowned, still refusing to attend the banquet.
She didn’t like those places, and her presence would cause trouble for him.
She absolutely couldn’t go.
"You have to go!" Huo Shaohua commanded domineeringly.
"I don’t want to go with you!" Tian Xingyun looked up at him and coldly said.
Huo Shaohua’s heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt a pang of pain, his expression froze.
He stared at her without blinking, unable to digest how she could suddenly speak such heartless words.
"Why?" It took him a while to finally ask.
"I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. We’re already divorced; don’t cross that line again!" After saying this, Tian Xingyun put down her chopsticks, picked up Tianxin, and returned to the room, locking the door to keep him out.
Huo Shaohua looked at her departing figure and smiled bitterly with helplessness.
Just that one sentence from her made his heart hurt this much.
When he had used those words to humiliate her back then, how much pain must she have felt...
After putting Tianxin to sleep, Tian Xingyun lay on the bed and looked at her phone.
She glanced at the doorway from time to time, not sure what he was doing outside.
Clutching her phone tightly, she warned herself in her heart to be ruthless this time and cut off ties with him.
Don’t let him think there’s any chance to be with her.
Suddenly, the phone’s vibration startled her, making her heart jump. She opened WeChat and saw a message from Li Zhiting.
He invited her to attend the banquet tomorrow and insisted that she go.
Tian Xingyun was hesitating about how to reply when his call came in.
After taking a deep breath, she answered, "Hello."
"Did you see the WeChat message?" Li Zhiting asked directly.
"Then you must come tomorrow."
"I don’t want to; I’m not used to those places and I don’t know anyone."
"Just knowing me is enough. You’re my special guest."
"I have to take care of my child tomorrow, I don’t have time." Tian Xingyun used Tianxin as an excuse.
"Alright then, it’s a pity you can’t come to the banquet," Li Zhiting said disappointedly, regretting not being able to see Huo Shaohua’s anger.
"Then rest early, good night."
"Good night." Tian Xingyun ended the call, placed her phone on the dresser, and sighed lightly.
Holding Tianxin, Tian Xingyun walked out of the room and saw that he was already dressed, seemingly ready to go out.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you out for breakfast," Huo Shaohua took the initiative to say.
"No, I’m tired and plan to rest at home."
"Sweetheart, let daddy hold you," Huo Shaohua walked over and reached out for Tianxin.
"Daddy~" Tianxin reached out happily.
Huo Shaohua picked up Tianxin and gave his daughter a cheerful kiss on her rosy cheek.
"I want to take Tianxin out to play. If you don’t want to go, you can stay home."
"..." Tian Xingyun looked at him, wondering what he was planning.
In the end, for the sake of their daughter, she compromised and went out with the father and daughter.
First, they went to a restaurant to eat, where he personally fed Tianxin.
"What a coincidence, President Huo," a middle-aged man approached and, seeing that it was Huo Shaohua, smiled and greeted him.
"President Chen, what a coincidence indeed." Huo Shaohua nodded.
"Daddy~" Tianxin was anxious and eager to eat, but her father had yet to feed her.
"President Huo, whose child is this? So adorable."
"..." Tian Xingyun stopped drinking her porridge, wondering how he would respond.
