Chapter 15: Daddy! (1)
“Business trip? Where to?”
“There is a big cooperation project abroad. I have to supervise it myself.”
“Abroad? How long will it take?”
“If it’s fast, a month or two. If not, it might be five or six months.”
Old Master Huo frowned. “I don’t care how long you go, you have to come back for the Xiaoxiao’s 100-day banquet!”
Huo Suicheng did not easily agree with his father. After all, he never made unnecessary promises.
“I will try my best.”
Then he got up and went upstairs to rest.
When passing Huo Xiaoxiao’s room, his footsteps paused slightly, glancing in through the half-open door.
There were two orange night lights beside her crib and two cute bear dolls at the bedside.
The baby in the crib slept soundly.
——
Huo Xiaoxiao woke up hungry in the middle of the night. Aunt Zhao, her caretaker, fed her milk. Huo Xiaoxiao, after getting full and satiated, finally had the strength to discuss the fever with A’Xiao.
“I think you were trying to kill me, and I already have the evidence. A normal person’s temperature at forty-two degrees, were you trying to burn me to death?”
[“Indeed burned to death.”]
“
Don’t you dare say it was a test to see if I was mentally and physically prepared for this!”
[“Don’t be angry, I am helping you here. The most striking thing is death. You died and resurrected in Huo Suicheng’s arms. He will always remember this.”]
“
” Dead and alive, how big the heart must be to forget that?
“Fortunately, you are not that dispensable daughter anymore. Be open-minded a little bit. In this round, we won!”
Although Huo Xiaoxiao didn’t want to admit it, she had to say that this was true. When she looked at Huo Suicheng, his eyes were really different.
——
The news of Huo Suicheng going abroad came from Huo Xiaoxiao’s babysitter. After knowing that he was leaving for several months, she turned bitter.
Three years period was already short, but this was even better, shortening a few months.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, Huo Xiaoxiao gradually became a salted fish[1]. Occasionally, she would be taken out to bask in the sun, turning even saltier.
However, apart from being a salted fish, she did not forget to learn how to crawl and roll, successfully turning over in the following month.
But her father didn’t come back.
In another three months, she sat up, surrounded by the whole Huo family.
But her father still didn’t come back.
After eight months of learning to walk, Old Master Huo set up a three-day and three-night banquet. The guests gathered to watch the Huo Family’s Little Miss’s magnificent feat.
But
 her father still didn’t come back.
After learning to walk, Huo Xiaoxiao stood by the door and looked out every day. For a long time, her eyes were empty, and her facial expression was not in line with her age.
“Why hasn’t Dad come back yet? Why hasn’t he even called?”
“I feel like I’ve become an abandoned wife, the stone gazing out for her husband[2].”
[“Be confident!”]
“
”
Sister Xu, who took care of her, squatted down in front of her with a smile, “Little Miss, do you want to go out to sunbathe? Would you like me to take you out?”
Huo Xiaoxiao gave a glance at the young and beautiful Sister Xiao Xu in front of her.
Xiao Xu was Huo Suicheng’s caretaker, who was invited to look after her with Aunt Zhao. She was younger than Aunt Zhao and had a higher educational background and knowledge.
But why was she chosen?
Because Huo Suicheng thought that children should learn from an early age, and the natural language education environment was crucial.
Therefore, Xiao Xu always spoke English and taught it to her, holding her every day and pointing at the Golden Retriever at home. “Dog.”
The first day that Sister Xiao Xu came to take care of her, she knew the thoughts of this Little Xu, who always claimed to be her sister in front of her. She was only after the Huo Family and Huo Suicheng.
Her desire to sleep with Huo Suicheng was obvious.
Claiming to be an elder sister yet acting like a stepmother. She wanted to be close to her, but she still thought of becoming the lady of the house?
“Does Xiaoxiao think of Suicheng?”
“
”
“Relax, when you are one year old, Suicheng will definitely come back.”
“
”
Huo Xiaoxiao got goosebumps all over, and she opened her mouth to vomit.
Sister Xiao Xu was a little flustered. “Xiaoxiao, have you eaten anything disgusting?”
Huo Xiaoxiao: ‘No, it’s because of you.’
“Xiaoxiao, come to Grandpa.”
Hearing her grandfather’s words, Huo Xiaoxiao smiled happily and ran towards Old Master Huo with her two chubby little legs.
The old man squatted down lovingly and hugged her. “You will be one year old in a couple of days. Your father will also come back for Xiaoxiao’s birthday. Are you happy?”
