Everyone gathered around Tianxin, the little girl waved her toy happily.
After a whole morning of fuss, she hadn’t even had lunch and was so tired that she fell asleep.
After carrying her back to the room to sleep, Tian Xingyun also lay down to rest for a while, exhausted.
Dealing with these upper-class nobles is really tiring, always afraid of saying the wrong thing and making them upset.
Huo Shaohua pushed the door open and entered, closing the door behind him, seeing the mother and daughter lying on the bed.
He smiled happily, took off his jacket, and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, dozing off for a bit.
They had argued yesterday, and he hadn’t slept well all night and was a bit tired.
"Buzz~" His eyes hadn’t been closed for even two minutes when his phone rang.
He opened his eyes, took the phone out of his bag, and saw that it was Song Yi calling.
He instinctively looked over at Tian Xingyun, thinking to step outside to take the call, but hesitated and didn’t go.
He didn’t want Tian Xingyun to think that he was hiding something from her; it would only deepen their misunderstandings.
"Hello." He pressed the answer button.
"Shaohua, are you at home?" Song Yi asked with a smile; she’d already done her makeup and was ready to go out.
Everyone knew she was Shaohua’s girlfriend; she had to attend his daughter’s first birthday banquet.
Otherwise, Grandma and the Huo family would think she was petty and couldn’t tolerate Tianxin’s presence.
The Huo family didn’t like narrow-minded women, especially for the role of the Huo family’s matriarch.
Absolutely, she couldn’t be a narrow-minded woman.
"Hmm." Huo Shaohua replied, looking at the woman sitting up in bed.
Tian Xingyun sat up, giving him a cold look, threatening him with her eyes.
If he dared to agree to let Song Yi come over, he was dead!
"Hmm, today is Tianxin’s birthday, and we’re having a banquet at the old house." Huo Shaohua specifically mentioned the old house to subtly tell Song Yi that she couldn’t come.
If she came, it would only embarrass herself, as Grandma and the Huo family elders didn’t have a good impression of her.
If she came, she wouldn’t even be able to get into the old house, only embarrassing herself further.
"Then I’ll bring the gift over." Of course, Song Yi understood what he meant, but she still wanted to go.
The Huo family needed to acknowledge her presence; she couldn’t let that bitch Tian Xingyun take her place.
"Tianxin’s dad, come over here quickly!" Tian Xingyun suddenly called out anxiously.
"Another day, that’s it." Huo Shaohua quickly ended the call, tossing his phone on the sofa, and rushed over to the bed.
He looked at his daughter anxiously and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Our daughter is so cute, isn’t she?" Tian Xingyun touched Tianxin’s cheek, squinting as she smiled happily.
"Go downstairs and accompany Second Master and the others. I’ll stay here with our daughter." Tian Xingyun blinked and smiled at him, admitting that she had called out on purpose.
She didn’t want him to continue talking with Song Yi; she feared he might soften and let Song Yi come over if they continued.
She didn’t want to see Song Yi show up today, so she played a little trick~
Huo Shaohua smirked, shaking his head at this woman, amused.
He nodded, giving her a look that said "well played," realizing her little trick.
He had been fooled but wasn’t angry.
Propping himself up on the bed, he bent down to kiss his daughter’s rosy little cheek.
Glancing at the woman sitting next to his daughter, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips accurately.
"Call me if you need anything." He smiled smugly, stood up, grabbed his jacket, and walked out the door.
"..." Tian Xingyun bit her lip speechlessly, thinking that this bastard.
Looking at her daughter, she smiled happily, feeling sweet inside.
After lunch, Huo Shaohua informed Grandma and the others and then took Xingyun and their daughter to the orphanage. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel~fire~net
Besides Tianxin’s things, Huo Shaohua had Andy buy a lot of items.
Children’s literature supplies, daily necessities, clothes and pants, shoes, and many other things.
