Furthermore...
The scene he couldn’t tolerate even more came.
In the video, the boy laughed coldly.
“Not only do you not have a mom, my dad said that your dad isn’t a good thing either.”
“He’s not only unsympathetic, he likes to kill to the last one too.”
“...”
Mr. Zhao’s face turned white.
“What nonsense are you saying!” He pinched Zhao Yuan furiously.
The Zhao family’s eldest son had already offended Huo Yao and Huo Yao decided to give them a chance but listen to this stinky brat: what did he say? !
Huo Yao was calm, obviously it wasn’t his first time to hear others speak of his “evil deeds”.
He had done many immoral things and he didn’t feel guilty at all.
But the most difficult thing for him to accept is that some random kid talked badly of him in front of his daughter.
Huo Yao looked towards the little girl’s direction unconsciously and moved his lips, an unnoticeable panic flashing in his eyes.
He didn’t care what others thought of him.
But he would be lying if he said he didn’t care about what his daughter thought of him.
Huo Yao forced himself to look away and back on the video, his jaw was tight and he showed no expression.
The little thing saw her daddy’s gloomy expression and bit her lips, hiding back into Shen Chuchen’s arms.
Shen Chuchen bent down and hugged her, smiling lightly, “Why are you scared?”
You’re not the one who’s wrong.
The little thing rested her chin on his shoulders and repeated in a whisper, “My daddy isn’t a bad person...”
Her words overlapped with her unjust accusation in the video.
“Daddy isn’t a bad person....”
Huo Yao’s pupils shrank and looked at the video in awe.
The little girl’s words made him freeze in his spot.
“He just... during the time he needed love the most...”
“.... No one wanted to treat him gently.”
The little thing sobbed in the video as she stood there helplessly, trying to explain for him.
No one knew what she felt like, and no one knew how a child felt like when there was nothing she could do to defend the person she loved.
“...”
After they finished watching the video, the office sank into a deadly silence.
Huo Yao froze there and stared at the monitor in shock. He moved his lips but he couldn’t say anything.
Ms. Xu’s eyes widened slightly as she glanced at Ye Sang in surprise.
She never thought that a normal children’s fight involved so much.
And she never expected an obedient little girl to say something like this.
“This child...” Ms. Liu was lost for words. She really had a way to make people’s hearts melt.
Shen Chuchen was also lost in a trance. His smile disappeared as he looked down at the child in his arms.
He mumbled to himself, “You are too good for Huo Yao...”
Humans always yearned for the sun.
Who doesn’t want a person to drag them out of darkness?
Shen Chuchen slowly put her down and leaned against the door, forcefully pulled a smile.
He knew that the little thing didn’t need him anymore.
“Daddy...” The little thing looked down with teary eyes and explained,
“Sangsang isn’t a bad child.”
The little girl’s mutter made Huo Yao feel bitter and complicated.
He thought of “no one wanted to treat him gently”, and he felt nothing but gentleness and guilt.
“I’m sorry.” The man looked ashamed of himself and eventually muttered in a low voice.
Huo Yao was an extremely proud person. He didn’t even have a good conscience, let alone have him feel guilty over something.
Apologizing to a child was something that could only be seen once in a lifetime.
Ye Sang wanted to cry even more after Huo Yao spoke. She continued to explain through sobs, “Wu, Sangsang isn’t a bad child.”
She repeated this over and over again, making Shen Chuchen feel tight in his chest for no reason.
He closed his eyes, knowing that he shouldn’t intervene between the father and daughter.
He smiled coldly and dragged the fatty over unhappily, “You bullied that little thing just now?”
Zhao Yuan’s smile froze on his face. Before he could cry, Shen Chuchen had already kicked his butt sloppily.
“You...” The fatty immediately yelped in pain and inhaled coldly. He sat on the ground and asked in disbelief, “H-How dare you kick me?”
Shen Chuchen smiled, “I need an excuse to beat you?”
Zhao Yuan: “...”
“You... wu... you aren’t human...” He widened his eyes in horror and crawled to his parents as if he had seen a ghost.
Mrs. Zhao also jumped at the scene.
She knew that the Zhao family would be done for if Huo Yao wanted to settle this.
She quickly pulled his husband over and wanted to leave this place.
Shen Chuchen raised an eyebrow and laughed, “Wanna leave?”
He leaned against the door and blocked their exis with a loud ‘bang’.
“No rush...” He dragged his voice on, “Let’s settle this first.”
Then, Shen Chuchen turned and looked at Huo Yao.
...
The man saw the little thing’s red eyes and his heart clenched. Suddenly, he felt like he was a failure in being a father.
Huo Yao recalled when the little girl had just arrived at the Huo family, she had her own values and knew human emotions well despite being smart and quirky.
It was just that he had never cared about what a child thinks.
In his eyes, children were children: they were forgetful and naive.
Because of that, Huo Yao never thought of putting her emotions into his consideration.
Thinking back on it now, he realised how ridiculous his thought was.
“... I’ve never taken care of a child before.”
Huo Yao pulled his lips bitterly and spoke in a hoarse voice,
“And I don’t know how to spoil a little thing.”
“...” The little thing pouted and looked down.
“Will Ye Sangsang......” The man bent down after a pause and his eyes were filled with warmth and gentleness that he never felt before, “Teach me how to be a good dad?”
He didn’t know.
But he’s willing to learn it with the little ball in front of his eyes.
His daughter deserved all the best in the world.
Ye Sang bit her lips hesitantly and looked away proudly.
Under the man’s earnest gaze, she finally ran into his arms awkwardly and generously forgave him,
“F-Fine then.”
Just like what Shen Chuchen said, her villain daddy really didn’t know how to love someone.
No one was willing to treat him gently during the times he needed love the most.
So, she will teach him.
...
The little girl’s clear eyes were the most beautiful thing in the world.
Huo Yao hugged the soft little ball and his lips curved up unnoticeably, his heart was as soft as it could be.
Shen Chuchen watched the comforting scene in front of him and bitterness filled his eyes.
He looked down and hid the dullness in his eyes, then he sneered lightly and left carelessly.
