  After a long time, Huo Chenyu’s voice sounded lightly in the curtains of rain,

  “I feel sorry for you.” ……

  The boy’s voice was light and his gentleness almost seemed to be torn apart by the rain, disappearing in the wind.

  “Sangsang is a bad child……” She buried herself in Huo Chenyu’s arms and sobbed,

  “Someone t-took brodda’s um-umbrella.”

  Humans were so strange. She didn’t cry when she was bullied, but all the grievance accumulated in her heart exploded when Huo Chenyu comforted her.

  “Brodda lied……” Ye Sang’s eyes were red as she whimpered, “You said you will pick Sangsang up, wu…… Grandpa said you are a dog if you lie.”

  “.…… Next time, wuu, if you lie again next time…… Sangsang won’t want brodda anymore.”

  Perhaps the little thing was tired from crying, but when she finished whining about Huo Chenyu and found a comfortable spot, she snuggled against him like a puppy and fell into a deep sleep.

  But her occasional whimper made Huo Chenyu’s heart throb in pain.

  The boy pressed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. It looked like he was making a promise to her, but also looked like he was talking to himself in a small voice, “It won’t happen next time……”

  And there will be no next time.

  Huo Yao taught him that learning some lessons once was enough. ……

  He stared at the little thing’s wounded knees, lost in thoughts, but gloominess flashed across his eyes.

  Zhao Qian closed the equipment room’s door.

  And it was obvious where the little girl got the key from and how she fell down.

  Huo Chenyu shielded his young sister tightly, not letting any wind get to her. He looked up at the gray sky and the pitter-patter of the rain, and his eyes turned cold.

  The boy strode towards the school’s front gate.

  Heh.

  Zhao Qian bullied his little thing and left like that?

  There aren’t any good things like this in the world.

  Reality proved that humans indeed yearned for the sun.

  No matter how somber someone was, they will eventually lower their heads in front of her.

  And he was no exception.

  On the topmost floor of the Huo Group, a man stood by the French window with a stern face. His forehead throbbed as he looked at the pitter-pattering rain outside, feeling anxious for no reason.

  Special Assistant Zhao stood next to him with two files in his hands, pushing the contrast for the Salt City’s mining mountain towards him.

  He asked seriously, “Director-general, are you sure you want the Salt City’s mining mountain?”

  “It is……” Mining mountain planned by the government.

  Huo Yao’s actions were no different from seeking death. ……

  If he lost the bet, he would go bankrupt.

  The man looked at the misty curtains of rain silently.

  If it was before, he thought the worst-case scenario would be losing his reputation and everything.

  —— “Daddy, can you be a good person……”

  But now, the little thing’s milky voice suddenly appeared in his head.

  The man’s lips twitched and he almost failed to maintain a stern face.

  Huo Yao inhaled deeply and glanced at the other thing that resembled a ‘file’ in Special Assistant Zhao’s hands, raising an eyebrow slightly, “What’s that?”

  Special Assistant Zhao was used to doing bad things with him and when the man asked, he scratched his head and waved the file, “This?”

  “It’s the results of the paternity test.”

  Obviously, Huo Yao never thought that this cheap daughter who appeared out of nowhere was actually his child.
