Chapter 12: How could my granddaughter be cute? (3)

“Fine, I promise you.”

Huo Suicheng took out his cell phone, made a call, and then got up, “I will wait for you at the company tomorrow. I have work to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“Wait, what’s the child’s name?”

Huo Suicheng was stunned before casually speaking a name, “Huo Xiaoxiao.”

The child is smart and cute. Father should like her.

  ————

Royal Orchid Villa.

After drinking milk and changing diapers, Huo Xiaoxiao, who was tired after playing games with the nanny, slept for a while and woke up to find herself in a different place.

“So well-behaved. Is this my granddaughter?”

Huo Xiaoxiao batted her eyes upon seeing a kind old man just around the corner.

“She smiled at me as soon as she woke up.”

“Little Young Miss is your granddaughter, so of course, she wants to smile at you. You can see how lovely Little Young Miss is. Her small nose and eyes are exactly the same as those of the Young Master.”

“That brat was very noisy when he was a child. How could he be as cute as my granddaughter?” Old Master Huo coaxed the child, and his eyes showed all his love. “Look at this child; how lovely she is! She doesn’t cry or make noise. By the way, have you washed the baby’s milk bottle yet?”

Huo Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Grandpa?

When did the surroundings change?

A’Xiao’s worried voice sounded at this moment, “Huo Suicheng will be able to completely control the company tomorrow. Without Old Master Huo’s suppression, he will show his fangs very soon…”

“I can’t help it,” said Huo Xiaoxiao with both hands.

“Don’t worry. I have a way, but I’ll have to trouble you.”

“?”  

  ————

Dusk.

At the banquet, Huo Suicheng stood quietly in the crowd with a glass in his hand, listening to the compliments around him. The eyes of beautiful women with all kinds of perfumes focused on him.

He didn’t like such occasions, but he was in a cheerful mood today and could still bear it.

“President Huo.” A man approached Huo Suicheng and clinked their glasses. “I heard that your company has won the Nan city project. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

“My company also has a project that I believe President Huo will be very interested in. We’ll discuss it when we have a chance to talk, but I hope President Huo can keep the project confidential.”

Huo Suicheng held his business card and took a sip of wine.

Huo Suicheng never regretted anything he had done. His father’s ideals were not suitable for this era. Everything he had done was for the sake of the company.

Swallowing red wine, his body temperature rose, the mood becoming inexplicable and impetuous. He put down the glass and went to the reception to clear his mind.

Behind the terrace was a spacious garden, in which there were various kinds of flowers. The breeze brought all kinds of fragrance to his nose.

Today was rare beautiful weather, full of stars like the Milky Way.

It was a good place to be alone.  

At this moment, footsteps resounded in the vicinity, and Huo Suicheng looked inside. In the garden, a girl in a red dress with bare shoulders was walking barefoot on the gravel road with high heels.

She looked like someone who was not afraid of worldly affairs. She was lively and witty, shuttling among flowers and occasionally lowering her head to smell the blooming flowers.

Even in the dim light, the red dress attracted attention against the gray backdrop.

The green grass and the colorful flowers were overshadowed by her presence.

Huo Suicheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He only felt that the red dress was amazing. Looking around, only the touch of red remained in his eyes.

He stood there, quietly watching without disturbing her.

The phone rang and broke the peace.

It was his father who called. Huo Suicheng answered the phone.

The old man’s voice on the phone was serious and anxious. “Suicheng, where are you now? Xiaoxiao has a fever! Come back quickly!”

Fever?

Huo Suicheng’s mind was filled with the palm-sized chubby child and her sweet-smelling milk.

He wanted to say if she was ill, send her to the hospital, but the words remained on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them for no reason. Suddenly, the scene of a child crying and making noise came to his mind.

No longer interested in staying here, he whispered, glanced at the girl in the garden, and turned away.  

The sound of opening the door rang in the garden.

Hearing the sound, the girl looked back.

The place where Huo Suicheng originally stood was empty.

She suddenly stood up and looked around the garden, but there was no one but her.
