Understand (End)

Huo Tian didn’t wait for Si Huan to come looking for her. It was because before that, she was anxiously brought home by Xi Cheng.

Xi Cheng did not want to believe the family doctor’s nonsense either. In his position, there would be at least eight or ten times a day when he was cursed behind his back. If he kept sneezing after being scolded, he would not be able to live his life anymore.

However, the family doctor’s confident reasoning convinced Xi Cheng.

That was what the family doctor said, “You’re half Chinese and should have heard of the saying ‘do as the Romans do’, right? In the past, when you were in the United States, there was no custom there that people would scold you and you would sneeze, so you were fine. Now that we’re in China, of course you’ll have the same reaction as the Chinese!”

These words were complete nonsense, but Xi Cheng thought about them carefully and felt that they did make some sense. He did not mind being scolded, but he was no longer alone. Those people who hated him would not just say bad things behind his back. They might hurt the people he cared about the most.

With this in mind, Xi Cheng could not remain calm anymore. He quickly called Huo Tian to confirm his daughter’s safety.

When Huo Tian saw Xi Cheng’s call, she was still angry at him, so she ignored his call at first.

Xi Cheng called his daughter while still feeling that he had thought too much into the family doctor’s nonsense. However, after two consecutive missed calls, the relaxed smile on Xi Cheng’s face gradually turned cold.

Could something have really happened? Xi Cheng only managed to maintain his composure after taking a deep breath. He remembered that Huo Tian had mentioned her schedule today, so he contacted Bi Ying.

Bi Ying also waited for the phone to ring for a long while before he picked it up. His tone was also very strange. “Mr. Xi, why did you call me?”

The coldness and unfamiliarity in his words were the complete opposite of his usual respectful attitude. Xi Cheng was even more certain that something had happened to Huo Tian and was so anxious that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

At this moment, Ding Rong, who was beside him, managed to get through to Huo Tian. She had been an ordinary person for decades. Kidnapping wasn’t something that happens often in the world of ordinary people, so Ding Rong wasn’t as worried as Xi Cheng.

She said to Huo Tian on the other end of the line, “Tiantian, where are you now? Were you busy just now?”

Huo Tian did not take her anger out on Ding Rong. When she spoke to Ding Rong, she was as delicate and soft as usual. “Mom, I’m downstairs at the company. I’ve already finished my work for today and am not busy anymore. I’ll be going back later. Oh right, Mom, why did you call me?”

Xi Cheng had already hung up his call with Bi Ying. He tiptoed to Ding Rong’s side and leaned over to her, trying to hear the conversation between his wife and daughter.

Ding Rong looked at Xi Cheng in amusement and placed the phone between the two of them. She deliberately asked Huo Tian, “It’s nothing. It’s just that your father didn’t manage to get through the call with you just now. He thought something had happened to you so he had me try calling.”

Xi Cheng had heard Huo Tian’s voice just now and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she was safe. However, in the next second, his heart was lifted by Huo Tian’s words again.

“Hmph, I deliberately didn’t pick up his call. Mom, you don’t know how overboard he is. He decided on a marriage agreement for me! If Andrew hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known about this at all. I’m going to have a cold war with him! A cold war!”

Xi Cheng was about to break out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself that the young man from the Cameron Family wasn’t easy to deal with either. These brats should all stay away from his daughter!

He didn’t dare to let Huo Tian misunderstand him. He quickly got close to the phone and explained, “Tiantian, you’ve misunderstood Dad. Dad isn’t asking you to marry Andrew Cameron. I just feel that he doesn’t seem to know about romantic feelings. We can let him occupy the position of your fianc first so that the brats who covet you can stay away. Dad just doesn’t want you to fall in love too early. You’ve only been by Dad’s side for such a short time. I can’t bear to let that brat snatch you away”

Xi Cheng was too anxious and revealed his thoughts. Huo Tian, who was on the other end of the line, was stunned.

After a long while, Huo Tian finally digested Xi Cheng’s words. “Dad, who do you think will snatch me away?”

“Huo Tian?”

Another voice rang out from nearby. Huo Tian looked up and subconsciously called out the other party’s name, but it was the same two words Xi Cheng had said on the phone

“Si Huan”

Huo Tian looked at Si Huan and suddenly laughed!
