Chapter 390 - 390 Have Another Child
390 Have Another Child
Ding Rong was not surprised at all to hear Huo Tian’s answer. She smiled knowingly. “As expected. I thought so too. Your father might look like he’s putting on an act in front of outsiders and doesn’t look easy to get close to, but he’s actually quite easy to coax.”
Huo Tian found it interesting when Ding Rong evaluated Xi Cheng with such disrespectful but intimate words. She smiled again and laughed for a long while before asking, “Mom, isn’t it normal for a father to give their child a goodnight kiss? Why is Dad’s reaction so strange?”
This question had been hidden in Huo Tian’s heart for a long time. After all, not long after she reunited with her mother, goodnight kisses had become a habit between mother and daughter. However, Xi Cheng even though had been reunited with them for such a long time, other than taking the initiative to get intimate with Ding Rong, he did not appear too close toward Huo Tian. Huo Tian actually did not care about these details, but occasionally, she would feel that Xi Cheng might not like her as a daughter. This was also why Huo Tian liked Ding Rong more in her heart.
Fortunately, Xi Cheng’s goodnight kiss tonight had dispelled Huo Tian’s previous misconception, but this made her even more puzzled.
Ding Rong could give a perfect answer to this question. She did not save her husband any face and said directly, “Because your father is a fool”
She smiled and told Huo Tian about Xi Cheng’s thoughts. When Xi Cheng had just returned to the family, before Ding Rong went to say goodnight to Huo Tian, she had also persuaded Xi Cheng to come with her. However, Xi Cheng felt that Huo Tian was already a big girl. Even if he was her father, he mustn’t enter his daughter’s room at night.
Ding Rong complained about Xi Cheng, but there was a smile on her face. “Tiantian, I know you actually don’t have such a clear sense of gender and won’t refuse to get close to your father. However, your father has been abroad for so many years and has also learned those aristocrats’ sanctimonious ways. He said that he wanted you to know that as a girl, you can’t let any man enter your room at night, not even your biological father. That’s why he has persisted until now.”
Huo Tian’s eyes widened slightly. She didn’t expect such a reason. After being stunned for a long while, Huo Tian suddenly laughed. She laughed so hard that she rolled around in the blanket like a little fool.
Huo Tian stopped rolling, but she could not suppress the smile on her face. She looked at Ding Rong with curved eyes. “Mom, Dad is so adorable.”
“He’s occasionally very adorable, but he mostly has a handsome and reliable side,” Ding Rong said. “Your father loves you very much, but he doesn’t know how to get along with you yet. Tiantian, be more tolerant toward him. You can also take the initiative to get closer to him.”
Huo Tian nodded. “Alright, Mom. I’ll love Dad as much as I love you.”
Ding Rong bent down and planted a soft kiss on Huo Tian’s forehead, her voice extremely gentle. “Thank you, baby. Mom loves you too. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Mom.” Huo Tian also planted a kiss on Ding Rong’s face and closed her eyes in peace.
According to the usual bedtime routine, Huo Tian could let her consciousness sink into sleep now. However, tonight, when Ding Rong tucked Huo Tian in and was about to leave, Huo Tian suddenly thought of something. She opened her eyes and said, “Mom”
Ding Rong turned around and saw Huo Tian looking tired. She asked curiously, “Tiantian, is there anything else?”
Huo Tian yawned. She was clearly so tired that she wished she could fall into a dark and sweet dream the next second, but she still stubbornly opened her eyes and said in a soft voice, “Mom, if you’re willing to, have another child with Dad”
After saying this, she wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep, but Ding Rong’s question entered her ears, causing Huo Tian to barely maintain her consciousness again.
Ding Rong said, “Why is Tiantian telling me this?”
Huo Tian blinked, her expression a little blurry, but her answer was still clear. “When I returned to your side, I was already an adult. Mom and Dad often show guilty expressions when looking at me. Actually, I feel very regretful too. I keep feeling that I’d be very happy if I grew up by your side, but missing out is missing out.”
