Chapter 257: Barbeque Party

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xi Cheng felt that being a father was even harder than fighting with enemies on the battlefield or fighting for the position of the family head.

After all, back then, Xi Cheng only needed to mercilessly send his enemies to the other world. However, now, he had to be extremely careful when handling anything related to his daughter. He couldn’t be too light or heavy-handed, and it made him feel at a loss…

This was probably the sweet trouble that only a father would have.

The courtyard was very lively. Huo Tian had also been helping to process the ingredients. Her hands were stained with the smell of condiments, so she went to wash her hands first before running to Xi Cheng and Ding Rong. “Dad, I have something to ask you!”

The moment he saw Huo Tian, Xi Cheng could not help but smile dotingly. He said gently in a voice that did not match his cold-blooded image, “Tiantian can ask anything. Dad will tell you everything you want to know.”

Huo Tian said, “It’s about the birthday banquet. The Huo Family doesn’t seem to have received an invitation. Does Dad not want them to attend?”

“That couple called you?” Xi Cheng’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and his tone became cold. “They’re really flexible.”

“No, I didn’t have any contact with the couple from the Huo Family at all.” Huo Tian waved her hand and explained, “It’s Brother Huo Feng. He called to confirm my identity. Only then did I know that their family didn’t receive an invitation. They seem to be very anxious now.”

Ding Rong glanced at the man beside her when she heard this. She, who was very familiar with the man’s various expressions, could clearly see that there was a trace of smugness hidden under that calm expression.

Ding Rong could not help but criticize him in her heart. This man was really… He was clearly so old, but why was he becoming more and more childish…

Ding Rong glared at Xi Cheng speechlessly and held Huo Tian’s hand to say, “Tiantian, do you want the Huo Family to attend this birthday banquet?”

“If it’s only a birthday party for my family and friends, of course I don’t want to see them. However, there are other intentions for this gathering, so I don’t mind.”

Huo Tian thought about it and said, “Although I don’t want to see the Huo couple and Huo You, Huo Feng is different from them. We’ve had a good relationship since we were young. If the Huo Family can’t attend the banquet, they might blame Huo Feng later. After all, he could contact me but didn’t put in a good word for the Huo Family. In the eyes of that couple, that’s Huo Feng’s fault.”

Xi Cheng and Ding Rong’s expressions turned a little grim. They did not say anything for a moment. Huo Tian blinked in confusion and asked curiously, “Mom, what are you guys thinking? Why do you guys suddenly look a little scary?”

Xi Cheng and Ding Rong did not want Huo Tian to notice anything amiss and immediately adjusted their expressions.

Xi Cheng returned to his gentle and doting appearance and gently stroked Huo Tian’s hair. Now, her hair had grown to shoulder length, the lower half was grayish-purple, and the upper half was pure black. Probably because she was beautiful, this strange hair color did not seem ugly on Huo Tian. She was too lazy to spend time on her hair, so this hairstyle was kept.

Xi Cheng looked at the ignorant Huo Tian and his heart was filled with doting and pity. He said gently, “Don’t worry, Dad isn’t a child. He won’t take revenge on the other party by preventing the Huo Family from attending the banquet in such a childish manner. Let that child called Huo Feng be at ease. The Huo Family’s invitation will be sent over later.”

“Thank you, Dad!” Huo Tian’s gaze circled Xi Cheng and Ding Rong before she said slyly, “Then I won’t disturb Dad and Mom anymore.. You can continue to say sweet nothings to each other.”
