Chapter 393 - 393 Good Morning Dad
393 Good Morning Dad
Huo Tian got out of bed and hurried to the dining room. She only washed her face and brushed her teeth, but she didn’t tidy up her image. She was wearing comfortable pajamas and her hair was messy. She didn’t look like she belonged to this elegant and beautiful manor at all.
Such a young miss caused the corners of the servants who were greeting her to twitch slightly. It just so happened that the butler came over, so the servants were observing the butler’s reaction from the corner of their eyes. They thought that the strict butler would definitely remind Huo Tian to take note of her image, but they did not expect the butler to only bend over respectfully and say to Huo Tian, “Miss, breakfast has been prepared in the dining room. Where would you like to eat?”
Huo Tian had never enjoyed the luxurious life of a noble. She was still a little curious when she heard him say that. She asked where she could choose to eat, and the butler explained in detail. Only then did Huo Tian know that in a noble family like the Hill Family, young ladies and madams often needed to attend banquets. They would habitually wake up late the next day, so breakfast was very simple. They would often get the servants to place the dishes on the bed and have some simple breakfast before getting up to wash up.
Huo Tian clicked her tongue and sighed. “That’s too extravagant. Are all those young ladies from wealthy families living such lives? Won’t they wear down their willpower?”
The butler smiled but didn’t say anything. He was one who wouldn’t show any disgraceful side, so he definitely wouldn’t do anything to complain about young ladies from other families.
Huo Tian pretended to ask casually, “Oh right, what are the other young ladies like?”
This question was very vague, but the butler didn’t have any concerns about it being difficult to answer. He simply explained the living conditions of the noble ladies and the education they received.
Huo Tian nodded as she listened, but she became distracted after a while. Although the butler’s description wasn’t detailed, Huo Tian could tell that there was nothing about the lives of those young noble ladies that was the same as hers.
In her previous life, the world Huo Tian lived in was rebuilt after a great calamity and there were no longer any aristocratic tiers. When she woke up in this life, she found herself in the Huo Family and also briefly saw the banquet they held for Huo You. However, the banquet that she attended was very inadequate compared to the Hill Family’s banquet. The original Huo Tian lived conscientiously in the Huo Family. Other than not having to worry about food and clothes, she didn’t look like a real rich young miss at all. That was why Huo Tian was interested in the so-called aristocratic lifestyle.
However, after hearing the butler’s introduction, Huo Tian wasn’t that interested anymore. Of course, those aristocratic sports such as horseback riding and sailing were still very interesting. However, according to the butler, those were just activities chosen for people to enter social circles. Every decision made was to make herself stand out in the social circle, but the ultimate goal was also to get close to getting a good marriage or make more connections.
After the butler finished, Huo Tian came to a simple and crude conclusion. “As long as Dad is still the head of the Hill Family, I’ll be the most eye-catching person in social events. Therefore, I don’t need to live like other young ladies from wealthy families.”
The butler’s smile had a hint of sincerity to it. His family had been serving the Hill Family for generations, so he was very happy when he realized that his young miss was so smart and understanding.
However, before the butler could say any words of praise, his master beat him to it.
He was dressed neatly and his face was rosy, looking high-spirited as if he had become younger by a few years overnight.
After walking down the stairs, he took the initiative to open his arms to Huo Tian. Huo Tian did not hesitate to throw herself into Xi Cheng’s embrace and the two of them had their cheeks next to each other.
After the short hug ended, Xi Cheng looked down at Huo Tian and said gently, “Good morning, baby.”
“Good morning, Dad.”
Huo Tian also said good morning obediently, then blinked mischievously and said teasingly, “It seems like Dad had a good rest last night. I think I’ll have a younger brother or sister soon. I just wonder when Mom can get up to have breakfast?”
If Huo Tian had teased Xi Cheng with the intimate incident between the couple yesterday, even if he did not show it on his face, he would still feel awkward. However, the awkwardness was gone now. It was because Xi Cheng knew that Huo Tian was as close to him as she was to Ding Rong that she would joke with him like this.
