"Kids shouldn’t be given so many toys, just enough to play with is fine." Tian Xingyun massaged her temples, thinking about how spoiling Tianxin can’t go on.
"Playing with toys is what kids do every day, what’s wrong with that?"
"If you spoil her , what if she grows up to be as spoiled as Liu Xixi!" Tian Xingyun said, not intending to use Liu Xixi as a negative example.
Mainly, she didn’t want her daughter to turn out to be as spoiled and willful as Liu Xixi in the future.
"Tianxin is so young, and you’re already controlling her . She won’t have the childhood she deserves!" Huo Shaohua rebutted her, wanting his daughter to have a carefree childhood where she can have whatever she wants.
He couldn’t bear for her to have a childhood filled with studies and pressure like his own, something he never got to experience.
"I didn’t say you couldn’t buy her toys, just that there needs to be a limit. She can’t possibly play with all these toys by herself."
"My daughter needs to be spoiled ."
"..." Tian Xingyun was exasperated and walked away, unwilling to continue the conversation.
Huo Shaohua smiled as he played with Tianxin. Though there were many toys, Tianxin couldn’t play with them all by herself.
But there would be many kids joining in the future, so there was no need to worry so much.
Tianxin happily played with a rabbit toy, sometimes pulling its ears and sometimes poking its eyes.
Watching this made him laugh, thinking his daughter was quite mischievous.
He played with Tianxin until she fell asleep, then left to check on the company.
As soon as the car came to a stop in the parking lot, his phone rang. It was Song Yi calling.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he answered: "Hello."
"Shaohua, it’s me." Mom Song’s cheerful voice came through. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⚑fire.net
"What’s the matter?" Huo Shaohua’s tone was cold, showing none of the usual respect toward Mom Song.
He couldn’t treat Mom Song the way he used to, given she had tried to harm his daughter. It was a wonder he hadn’t given her a piece of his mind.
There was no reason to treat her well anymore, none at all!
"Yi isn’t feeling well, could you take her to the hospital?"
"I’m very busy at the company. You take her to the hospital, and I’ll come by after I finish up." Huo Shaohua smirked, suspecting Song Yi wasn’t sick but that it was a ploy by Mom Song.
"I asked her to go to the hospital, but she doesn’t want to. Could you come over and persuade her?" Mom Song continued, insisting he had to come over.
Song Yi sat down next to her mother and took the phone from her hand to speak: "Shaohua, I’m fine."
Song Yi indeed felt a bit unwell, but resting for a day had helped a lot, and there was no more bleeding.
She didn’t think much of it, as she had experienced this before.
Her period was due in a few days, and with some rest and caution, she’d be fine.
"Are you really okay?" Huo Shaohua raised an eyebrow.
"I’m really fine, it’s just my mom overreacting."
"If you’re fine, then that’s good. I’m busy now." Huo Shaohua said, ready to end the call.
"Shaohua..." Song Yi’s voice came again through the phone. He brought the phone back to his ear.
"What else?" he asked coldly, showing no emotion.
"Have you been busy these days? I haven’t seen you much." Song Yi asked cautiously. Since he brought her back, they hadn’t met again.
They only occasionally exchanged texts, and their relationship had been growing more distant, making her very uneasy.
"Tianxin’s birthday is in a few days, right? Let’s buy her a gift after work." Song Yi suggested with a smile, but the pain in her eyes was hard to hide.
"Alright." Huo Shaohua was somewhat surprised she remembered Tianxin’s birthday.
"Okay, give me a call after work, bye." Song Yi ended the call and irritably threw the phone onto the coffee table.
