Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 210: Might As Well Not Meet

“Cough, cough, cough…”

This short sentence frightened Huo Tian quite a lot. Fortunately, she had already finished the milk. Otherwise, she would have choked.

However, Huo Tian wasn’t doing well either. She kept on coughing and only calmed down after a long while.

Her eyes, which had teared up from the coughing, widened. She looked at Ding Rong with some shyness and anger and said unhappily, “Mom, what are you talking about? Can you not make wild guesses?”

Ding Rong did not feel embarrassed that she had tricked her daughter at all. She explained slowly, “Other than Si Huan, I can’t think of anyone else who would make you so emotional. But since it’s not because love matters, what did you encounter today? Could it be that you were bullied at the client’s house?”

Huo Tian had wanted to wait until tomorrow to get the DNA results before telling Ding Rong about Xi Cheng. However, Ding Rong was too sensitive to the changes in her emotions. Huo Tian did not want to lie to her mother, so she could only choose to reveal some of the truth.

She hesitated for a long while, then as if she was mentally prepared, she carefully looked at Ding Rong’s face and asked, “Mom, if, I mean if, Dad were to come back, will you forgive him?”

When Huo Tian said the word “Dad”, Ding Rong’s expression turned blank and her body stiffened slightly.

Under Huo Tian’s questioning gaze, Ding Rong forced a smile and said unnaturally, “Why did you suddenly mention this? Weren’t you completely uninterested in your father in the past?”

Huo Tian said, “I just thought of it suddenly. Mom, tell me, what’s your attitude towards Dad now?”

Ding Rong looked at her daughter’s expectant and nervous expression, and sour emotions suddenly welled up in her heart. Huo Tian was already over 18 years old and possessed intelligence that ordinary people could not understand. However, she was not a child who was mature and independent from a young age. She yearned for normal family life and was filled with admiration for her mother. Naturally, she would also yearn for the care and love from her father. However, Ding Rong was unable to satisfy her daughter’s expectations.

She stroked Huo Tian’s hair and said pitifully, “Does Tiantian want a father? I’m sorry, Mom has lost your father. I can’t let Tiantian experience fatherly love.”

Huo Tian did not know how Ding Rong had misunderstood her, so she quickly explained, “That’s not it, that’s not true. It doesn’t matter to me if I have a father or not. The most important thing is Mom. I just want to know what Mom thinks of Dad.”

Ding Rong’s action of stroking Huo Tian’s hair froze for a bit. She was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and said, “Tiantian, I don’t know why you’re asking such a question. Your father is a very good person, but compared to reuniting with him, I’m more willing to maintain my current state and never hear any more news about him in my life.”

Huo Tian did not expect such an answer. She looked at Ding Rong in a daze for a long while, then frowned and asked in confusion, “Mom hasn’t let go of Dad in your heart, right? Why do you not want to know about Dad?”

Ding Rong looked out the window. The weather was gradually turning cold and night fell earlier and earlier. It was already dark outside the window, and the light from the street lamps, which seemed as cold as frost, shone on the mottled road like a shattered illusion.

Her voice carried a distant sigh. “He’s a very good man. After he left me, he might have gotten married and had children, or he might have remained single.. He might have been seriously ill and might have been on the verge of death, or he might have been healthy and unharmed… However, if he still loves me, if he didn’t encounter any accidents, how could he not have sent a single word back?”
