Before Huo Suicheng moved, Mr. Huo stood up first, took the feather duster in Aunt Zhao's hand, looked at Huo Suicheng, and said angrily: "You dare to beat her with me? You try to move her? I never beat you when you were young, do you want to try?"
Only then did Aunt Zhao know what Huo Suicheng meant, and she frowned distressedly, "Sir, this kid is not sensible, just teach him, how can he do it?"
Yi Qian also stared at Huo Suicheng vigilantly. Although he didn't speak, he used his eyes and body movements to express 'you can't hit her'!
The maintenance of the house made Huo Xiaoxiao confidently agree, "That's it!"
All of this was done for your own good, and a good person has no reward, and even beat her up.
I have to thank her in the future!
Huo Suicheng almost laughed angrily at Huo Xiaoxiao's embarrassing little face.
That's right, with so many people protecting her, don't you have nothing to worry about
Therefore, under the 'staring eyes' of the crowd, he had no choice but to give Huo Xiaoxiao a look, but this look had no deterrent effect on Huo Xiaoxiao.
"Next time you dare to touch Dad's things, it's useless for anyone to stop you."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the stack of documents that Mr. Huo had dropped on the coffee table, turned around and went upstairs.
"Don't be afraid, your father just said that if he dares to do something, you can come to grandpa and see if grandpa won't beat him up!"
Mr. Huo handed over the feather duster to Aunt Zhao.
For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Huo Xiaoxiao shuddered at the sight of a feather duster, "Auntie, hurry up! Burn all the feathers!"
Aunt Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I'm going to burn it now."
Huo Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief, this matter was finally fooled perfectly.
Although it was a pity that she couldn't find the letter of guarantee that her father forced her to sign, but in the end she was not beaten, her father's project was ruined, and the Huo family would not be in danger of going bankrupt for the time being.
"Okay, this matter is over, but Xiaoxiao, you are not allowed to climb your father's desk in the future, it is so high, what if you fall?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Also, you can't touch your father's things anymore, remember?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded again.
"It's getting late, go to bed early, you and Yi Qian will sleep in the same room at night, don't whisper and go to bed too late."
"Ah?" Huo Xiaoxiao turned to look at Yi Qian, "Sleeping with him? Isn't there another room at home?"
There are guest rooms, but for such a young child, the beds in the guest rooms are not equipped with safety barriers like those in children's rooms, so it is not safe to sleep.
Only the small room had a cot for a child and a crib which was big enough for two.
"Xiao Xiao doesn't want to?"
Lonely men and widows... don't count.
Although the gender is different, but it's just a three or four-year-old child, it seems that there is nothing serious and hypocritical.
"If you don't want to, you can sleep with your father."
Huo Xiaoxiao quickly shook his head, "I'm not unwilling, I will sleep in the same room with Yi Qian that night, Yi Qian, do you agree?"
Yi Qian blushed slightly, "Agreed."
"Grandpa, good night, Yi Qian and I went upstairs first."
"Go, go, remember to get up early tomorrow."
Huo Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Why do you have to get up early?"
Mr. Huo seemed to have just remembered, and said with a smile: "Grandpa almost forgot, your father said that he will take you two out to play tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Go out to play? Dad?" Huo Xiaoxiao's face wrinkled, "Then... will Dad take us out to play tomorrow?"
Mr. Huo also forgot about this, and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, if you don't go tomorrow, you will have a chance to go."
"grandfather… "
——
Nine p.m.
In the study on the second floor, there is only one lamp on the desk.
Huo Suicheng sat behind the desk in the study, behind the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the darkness in the corner perfectly blended with the night outside the window.
It has been almost an hour since I sat here, looking at the soiled documents in front of me, rubbing the space between my brows tiredly.
The Luming Mountain project has been postponed repeatedly, and several other key development projects have been postponed indefinitely due to various reasons. During this time, he was under a lot of pressure.
Australia and New Zealand project…
Huo Suicheng's face is heavy. He knows that this project is risky. In the shopping mall, there is no investment with absolute safety and insurance. It is courage to play with the sword. This project may be risky, but he doesn't think Mr. Huo said it so unbearable.
He opened another drawer, ready to put the contract in. In that drawer was the letter of guarantee that captured Huo Xiaoxiao's hand and pressed his fingerprints last night.
The palm print on the guarantee letter was smaller than the palm of his hand.
Thinking of Huo Xiaoxiao's ghostly performance tonight, the gloom on Huo Suicheng's face dissipated a lot.
Sometimes he really wonders if the child has become a genius, and he is obviously illiterate, but he always cares about this guarantee these two days.
The doorknob of the study room was pressed down suddenly, and the sound of the door lock was very clear in the quiet night.
Huo Suicheng got up and walked to the door, the door was quietly opened, and there was a rustling sound outside the door, followed by a deliberately lowered muffled milk voice.
"Yi Qian, watch quietly, don't be discovered."
"Look at what?"
"Help me see if my father is still angry." Huo Xiaoxiao muttered, "It's really troublesome to coax him when he is angry."
A shadow was poking around in the gap where the study door was opened.
"I didn't see Uncle Huo."
"How is it possible? Take a closer look."
"Well... I looked carefully, but I didn't see it."
"You're so stupid, get out of the way, and I'll see for myself."
The door was pulled open, and a frizzy little head came up and looked around for a while.
Huo Xiaoxiao looked up.
Huo Suicheng turned his head to look at her.
The four eyes are facing each other.
Huo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost. Before Yi Qian came back to his senses, Huo Xiaoxiao grabbed his collar and ran away .
Yi Qian didn't react, he was carried by the collar and ran, tripped with his left foot and fell flat on the ground with a slap.
Huo Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled him up, "Run!"
Huo Suicheng looked at the backs of the two fleeing in a hurry, and the gloomy emotions in his heart disappeared.
For some reason, what Huo Xiaoxiao once said to him came to mind.
"Father, you have to work hard to make money, and you must not have anything to do, or you will have no one to support you in the future, and you will have a miserable life."
A spoiled child is arrogant, domineering and willful. When he grows up, he has no support, so he will have a miserable life
He couldn't imagine what Xiao Xiao would look like when he grew up, but as long as he thought of the child being bullied in a place he didn't know one day, his brows frowned again.
Ordinary people can forget about it, and they probably won't be able to please her in front of her.
A bully would probably be able to bully her badly.
He didn't want to listen to the child crying and complaining about his grievances in the future.
That's so annoying.
After thinking twice, he turned and returned to the desk, and put the letter of guarantee in the drawer.
The document smeared by Huo Xiaoxiao lay quietly on the table, and Huo Suicheng gritted his teeth and threw it into the trash after a moment of silence.
Forget it, the children are all here to collect debts.
At the same time, Huo Xiaoxiao, who dragged Yi Qian back to the room, closed the door and patted his chest in fear.
"Scared to death, scared to death."
Yi Qian looked at her out of breath, "What are we running for?"
Huo Xiaoxiao said bitterly: "Didn't you say you didn't see my dad? He was standing behind the door!"
"Ah, I didn't see it, so what should we do now?"
Huo Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously. Judging from her performance today, her father will definitely not take her out to play tomorrow.
But it's been a long time since she went out to play last time.
Let alone a child, even an adult cannot resist this kind of "detention".
No, she has to figure out a way.
At the stairs on the third floor, Aunt Zhao came up with two milk bottles, and met Huo Suicheng in the corridor.
"Mr. Huo."
Huo Suicheng looked at the two milk bottles in her hand.
"This is milk for Xiao Xiao and Yi Qian. The children digest quickly, so they say they are hungry."
"Give it to me, I'll send it in."
Aunt Zhao handed him the milk.
Huo Suicheng pushed away Huo Xiaoxiao's room with two milk bottles, and the corners of the huge bed were arched.
It was so late, the two children didn't sleep and hid in the bed to cover their ears and steal the bell, and they didn't even hear Huo Suicheng entering the door.
Huo Suicheng stood by the bed, stood quietly for a while, seeing that the quilt was swollen and there was no movement, and reached out to lift the quilt.
The bed was seen again, and the two children were stunned for a moment, then looked back at Huo Suicheng.
Huo Xiaoxiao was taken aback. After the two feather duster warnings at dinner, she was really nervous.
Her father won't hold grudges like this, so come beat her up now
"dad?"
"Uncle Huo?"
Huo Suicheng handed over the bottle.
Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at the bottle in Huo Suicheng's hand, reluctantly crawled over, took the bottle and crawled back, gave Yi Qian a bottle, and the two children sat on the bedside to drink milk.
The father and daughter stood and sat without talking, and only the sound of gurgling and sipping a pacifier could be heard in the room.
Until Huo Xiaoxiao finished the bottle of milk and handed over the empty bottle, the two still didn't speak.
Huo Suicheng took the empty milk bottle that the two had finished drinking, and left the room without saying a word.
Huo Xiaoxiao and Yi Qian stared wide-eyed.
"Uncle Huo must still be angry."
"...don't be crowed."
The crow chattered non-stop: "He doesn't talk, he must be angry, he won't take us out to play tomorrow."
"Okay, you shut up."
Huo Xiaoxiao lay on the bed sleepily, sighing helplessly.
Her father was so angry that he even played cold violence against a child of hers.
That would definitely not take her out to play.
never mind.
If you don't go out and play, you don't go out, what's the big deal.
Endure it for another two years, and after two years she will go out to play by herself.
The door was pushed open again.
Huo Suicheng came in with two cakes.
"Cake!" Huo Xiaoxiao got up in a jerk, "Is it for us?"
"come over."
Huo Xiaoxiao and Yi Qian hurriedly got out of bed and took the cake from Huo Suicheng.
"After eating, brush your teeth and go to bed."
Holding the fork in his hand, Huo Xiaoxiao asked cautiously, "Dad, are you still angry?"
"What do you say?"
"Then how can you not be angry?"
After thinking about it, Huo Xiaoxiao scooped up a large piece of cake and tiptoed to feed it to him.
Huo Suicheng squatted down, and took a bite of the cake Huo Xiaoxiao handed over.
The fluffy cake and the sweet cream melted in his mouth, and it was even sweeter than the cake he ate after dinner.
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at him expectantly, and countless lights merged into her eyes, like bright stars falling in the dark and bright night sky.
"I didn't do it on purpose. Next time I don't touch my father's things again. Can my father forgive me? Well... as long as my father can forgive me, I can do anything."
"Do anything?"
Huo Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
For the joy and laughter at home, she will sacrifice it.
Huo Suicheng suddenly laughed when he saw her heavy expression, and patted her lightly behind her, "Okay, Dad forgives you."
Huo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "Really?"
"Ok."
"Then will you take Yi Qian and me out to play tomorrow?"
"Where do you want to go?"
Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at Yi Qian, "Where do you want to play?"
Huo Suicheng looked over.
"Where do you want to go, little one?"
Huo Suicheng looked back.
Huo Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully.
The places where the child can go are limited, and she doesn't really want to go to the limited playgrounds, but with her father by her side, it's different.
"The underwater world!"
"Okay, go to bed early after eating, and tomorrow morning, I will take the two of you to the underwater world to play."
Huo Xiaoxiao cheered, "Thank you, Dad!"
Her father is quite easy to coax, a piece of cake is already coaxed.
After eating the cake and brushing their teeth, the two children went to bed.
In the dead of night, a figure quietly walked into the quiet room.
Huo Xiaoxiao slept on her back on the bed, half covered with the quilt, half under her back, and there was a Rubik's cube by her hand.
Before going to bed, she was still teaching Yi Qian how to solve the Rubik's Cube, and the eyelids of the two children kept fighting, and they fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Huo Suicheng glanced at Yi Qian who was sleeping in the corner, covered him with some quilts, bowed and picked up Huo Xiaoxiao, turned around and carried him back to the bed in his room.
The phone screen lit up, and after seeing that the caller was Yi Yang, Huo Suicheng went to the open-air balcony to answer the call.
"I heard that my family, Yi Qian, is playing at your house. Didn't it cause you any trouble?"
"when are you going back to China?"
The voice on the phone was dull for a moment, "... I've been busy recently, it may take a while, what's wrong?"
"Come back early, your son misses his father."
