Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Tian thought about it carefully for a moment and said softly, “Previously, Uncle Xi asked me what I think of my father, whom I’ve never met before. I said that I love him, but this isn’t all my thoughts.”

Xi Cheng stared at Huo Tian. To think that the man who had been through a lot in his life would actually feel nervous now.

His throat rolled twice, and he asked with a tight voice, “Under what circumstances will you forgive your father, who had been absent for more than ten years, and still love him?”

Huo Tian said, “Uncle Xi, I’ve actually thought about it before. My father might have been a soldier or police officer who sacrificed himself on a mission. He’s a great hero. In that case, even if he’s absent from my life, I’ll love him unconditionally.”

A trace of bitterness flashed past Xi Cheng’s eyes. He did not have a noble character. In order to survive and to become the ultimate winner in the family struggle, he had never minded using despicable means. He was not qualified to be compared to heroes like soldiers and police.

He didn’t know if he should continue asking, but Huo Tian had already continued.

Huo Tian giggled and said, “Of course, I don’t think that’s possible. Moreover, compared to a sacrificed hero father, I actually want Dad to live well. If that was the case, I might be able to find him in the future.”

Xi Cheng asked softly, “Do you want to find him?”

Huo Tian shrugged and said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter to me. After all, I don’t have any feelings for him. Moreover, if my father isn’t a good person, I’d rather not see him for the rest of my life. It’s just that Mom can’t let go of Dad…”

Xi Cheng did not say anything. Huo Tian did not especially observe Xi Cheng’s attitude and emotions. She sighed slowly and said, “If it wasn’t because I saw Mom keeping this jade pendant well, I would have thought that she had let go of Dad long ago. It’s been more than ten years, but she still can’t forget about Dad. Moreover, when we talk about Dad, Mom’s attitude has never been resentful. Therefore, Dad should be a very good person. If he didn’t deliberately abandon Mom and me, I wouldn’t be angry at him!”

After saying this, she looked at Xi Cheng again, only to see that his expression was no longer calm. His lips were pursed tightly and tears seemed to be glistening in his eyes.

Huo Tian’s eyes widened in surprise. She thought she had seen it wrongly and asked hesitantly, “Uncle Xi, are you okay?”

Xi Cheng only realized his loss of composure when he was reminded by her. He quickly turned his face away and blinked to hide the dampness in his eyes.

He quickly collected his emotions. When he faced Huo Tian again, he barely regained his composure.

In Xi Cheng’s plan, today, he was only going to test Huo Tian’s attitude towards her father, who had been absent for more than ten years. From this, he could indirectly understand Ding Rong’s thoughts and he could then make full preparations and find a good day to appear in front of Ding Rong.

He did not intend to open up about his relationship with Huo Tian today. However, Huo Tian’s confession just now made Xi Cheng feel that the plans and preparations he had made were all foolish instead of smart.

Xi Cheng suddenly realized that he had owed Ding Rong and Huo Tian so much for many years. No material compensation would suffice to compensate for their wait. Instead, it would only insult their sincerity.

Therefore, he didn’t want to follow his original plan anymore.

Xi Cheng suddenly said, “Tiantian, actually, I’m your father.”

After he said this, the huge study was silent. No sound rang out for a long time.

Huo Tian looked at Xi Cheng, who was seated opposite her, in a daze.. As she was too shocked, her eyes were wide and round, and her brain was like a computer that was running too quickly that the CPU was on the verge of burning up and spoiling. For a moment, she was unable to process the information in this sentence…
