Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 204: Father And Daughter

Time seemed to come to a standstill and the air in the room seemed to have frozen. In the silence, the atmosphere gradually became a little anxious.

After saying that, the nervousness and anticipation in Xi Cheng’s heart slowly turned to disappointment and sadness. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy river. The bone-chilling coldness made him recognize reality.

In the decades of his life, there had never been a moment when he was more depressed than now. Xi Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Tiantian, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. If you’re unwilling to acknowledge me as your father, I won’t have any complaints either. After all, this is all my fault. I didn’t do my part as a father…”

“No, wait…” Huo Tian’s brain finally started working again. She raised her hand to stop Xi Cheng.” I was just too shocked just now. Uncle Xi, Dad… No, let’s confirm this first…”

Although Huo Tian’s brain started working again, the language system was clearly not fully installed yet. She did not know how to address Xi Cheng and could only pass over on the address.

“This isn’t the first time we’ve met. To me, you’re a generous client and a kind and respectable elder. However, I’ve never thought that you’re, you’re my father…”

Huo Tian clasped her hands together, her fingers intertwining, showing how unsettled she was.

Xi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Since Huo Tian did not reveal her disgust and hatred directly, there was still room to turn things around. The reason why she had been so silent just now should be as she had said, that she had never imagined that he would be her father and was too shocked.

At the thought of this, Xi Cheng felt more confident. He probed, “Tiantian, do you hate me?”

Huo Tian looked at Xi Cheng with a conflicted expression for a long while. In the end, she could not go against her true thoughts and shook her head while wearing a complicated expression. “No, not only do I not hate you, but I’ve also inexplicably liked you since the first time I saw you. I’ve always thought that it was because of your charisma.”

Xi Cheng could not help but laugh as joy welled up in his heart. He looked at Huo Tian warmly and said, “This is the first time someone has praised me for my charisma. In the past, when those juniors who are about your age saw me, they were mostly conscientious and felt that I’m very scary.”

Huo Tian felt that Xi Cheng was exaggerating. She retorted, “Si Huan isn’t afraid of you either.”

When Huo Cheng heard Huo Tian mention Si Huan’s name, he felt that these two words were extremely piercing. He snorted and said, “That brat. I was too gentle with him in the past. He had it easy.

He thought of how he had once admired Si Huan so much that he even changed his usual solemn attitude towards juniors and taught him earnestly. He even happily observed the development of the relationship between him and his daughter. Xi Cheng felt extremely regretful.

Huo Tian did not quite understand the meaning behind Xi Cheng’s words and still looked at him in confusion.

Xi Cheng quickly restrained his thoughts. The most important thing now was not to settle things with Si Huan, who was a wolf who coveted his daughter, but to obtain his daughter’s approval.

He looked at Huo Tian, his calm expression unable to hide his nervousness and his voice was also a little tense, “Tiantian, what do you think about our relationship?”

Huo Tian thought about it for a while and said, “I used to worry about what would I do if my father were to become a bad guy who did all sorts of evil things after leaving Mom and me, or if he became a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter to find a new lover. But I don’t have to worry about that now. You’re a good person, and you didn’t form a family with anyone else, right?”

“Of course.” Xi Cheng nodded without hesitation. “Even if I forget about your mother and you, I can’t be with other women..”
