Huo Tian turned her head in Ding Rong’s arms and looked at Si Huan, who was sitting in the courtyard and calmly drinking water. Si Huan seemed to have sensed her gaze and looked over as well. He had a smile on his face, but he wasn’t laughing at her as Ding Rong had suggested. He only looked at Huo Tian, who was acting spoiled like a child to her mother. Even if he didn’t join in, he realized that he felt the feeling of bliss in his heart.

Ding Rong’s culinary skills were very good, and could even make home-cooked dishes very delicious. Si Huan knew that Huo Tian would probably have a good talk with Ding Rong, so he didn’t stay long after the meal. He quickly took his leave.

Huo Tian sent Si Huan to the car. When she returned home, Ding Rong had already quickly cleaned and put away the dishes. She saw that her daughter didn’t look as carefree as usual and wanted to liven up the atmosphere. So she teased, “Why did Si Huan leave so easily today? Didn’t he always think of ways to stay longer in the past?”

Huo Tian had never cared about these trivial matters in the past. She said in confusion, “Si Huan has always been like this.”

There was no trace of embarrassment in her tone. Ding Rong finally realized that her daughter was really slow in such matters. She looked at Huo Tian helplessly and then realized that she was distracted.

This made Ding Rong feel a little strange. As a mother, she was always especially sensitive to her child’s emotions. Therefore, Ding Rong kept feeling that there seemed to be something on Huo Tian’s mind today, but it wasn’t because of Si Huan. She didn’t know what it was.

On one hand, Ding Rong felt that it was normal for such an old child to have some small secrets. On the other hand, she was worried that Huo Tian had encountered some problems that she could not figure out by herself. She was worried that Huo Tian would keep on digging into a dead end. After thinking about it, Ding Rong could not help but feel worried. Before going to bed, she brought a cup of warm milk to Huo Tian’s bedroom.

Huo Tian did not fiddle with her toys in the workshop today. Instead, she lay on the bed and flipped through a book on mechanical engineering in boredom. However, she was not reading seriously. It was more like she was using the action of flipping through the book to ease her frustration.

Such a Huo Tian made Ding Rong even more worried. Her daughter was a genius who could do anything. She did not know what kind of problem had stumped Huo Tian.

Seeing Ding Rong push the door open and enter, Huo Tian quickly sat up and casually placed the book on the bedside table. She stuck her tongue out and said guiltily, “Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been lying in bed to read.”

Ding Rong had reminded her of this bad habit many times, but today, Ding Rong was not here to correct her daughter’s living habits.

She placed the milk in Huo Tian’s hand and smiled. “Mom won’t nag you about that today.”

Huo Tian drank the milk obediently and heaved a sigh of relief. She loved her mother very much, but every child could not withstand their mother’s nagging.

However, Huo Tian soon realized that it was too early for her to heave a sigh of relief.

When she was almost done with the glass of milk, Ding Rong asked casually, “Tiantian, is there something on your mind?”

Huo Tian paused in her swallowing and the mouthful of milk stayed in her mouth for a while before she swallowed. After a few seconds, she avoided her mother’s gaze guiltily and laughed. “Mom, why would I have something on my mind? Didn’t you always say that I’m simple-minded?”

Ding Rong’s expression and tone were very gentle, but she wasn’t backing down in her attitude at all. “It’s precisely because you’re a child who can’t keep things in your heart that everything is very obvious. You were fine when you went out in the morning, but when you came back, you looked like you had a lot on your mind. Did you encounter something outside?”

Huo Tian didn’t know how to answer, so she remained silent. She scratched the mug’s prints, seeming as if her entire mind was occupied by this mug.

“Did Si Huan confess to you today?”
