Ji Shuyang had the heart of a racer, and his biggest dream was to drive in the biggest and best race track.

In the dream, however, after Ji Shuyang abducted Huo Xiaoxiao in the hospital, Huo Suicheng pursued him to the middle of nowhere and broke his leg.

His leg was entirely broken, and he was forced to walk with a limp, which significantly changed his life and future.

Ji Shuyang’s goal of becoming a racer was dashed once he became lame. He became unmotivated and stayed abroad until Huo Suicheng subdued the authority, and yet he never returned.

Huo Xiaoxiao was grateful that her daddy had changed his mind and had not broken Ji Shu Yang’s legs.

She liked this uncle a lot because he didn’t have much scheming and can pick up on what others put down.

Despite the fact that she did not want to sit in the passenger seat of her uncle’s race car once more. But, more importantly, she didn’t want him to end up like he had in the dream, letting go of his dream and living the rest of his life in despair.

===

While Uncle Chen led Ji Shuyang out the Huo Mansion, Huo Xiaoxiao stood outside the study door, waiting for her dad to finish his talk with Xiao Wu.

‘Her dad’s crisis should be over now that there are witnesses and solid evidence, right?’

‘The most credit for all of this had to go to her. If not for  her, her dad and uncle would not have been able to work out their differences . If it wasn’t for her, her uncle would have gone to live somewhere else a long time ago.’

‘Without witnesses, her father’s ability to confront Su Yuanqing and Wen Yang, who possess the protagonist’s aura, is uncertain.’

The study’s door opened.

Huo Xiaoxiao was seated on a stool outside the door when Xiao Wu stepped out with an apple in his hand. Bending down, he caressed her head.

“Little miss, you’re just sitting here waiting for brother Wu?”

Huo Xiaoxiao looked inside the study through the half-open door and asked, “Brother Wu, are you done talking with my father?”

“Done, but why are you asking? Are you looking for your dad for something?”

“Not telling you.” Huo Xiaoxiao got up and went to the study room.

Xiao Wu chuckled as he gazed at Huo Xiaoxiao’s back and took a big bite out of the apple.

He turned around and left.

Huo Xiaoxiao walked into the study and Huo Suicheng was sitting behind the desk when she came in.

“Is something the matter?” he asked.

Huo Xiaoxiao made her way to her daddy’s side.

She was not tall enough to stand next to her dad, nor was she taller than the desk.

She sat beneath the desk, her hands folded on her dad’s lap, her side face resting on the back of her palms as she blinked at him.

“Daddy, uncle has left.”

“Hmm, Yes”

He looked down at her.

Seeing as he knew his daughter so well, Huo Suicheng thought that his daughter’s pretentious look meant that he had done something bad.

“Dad didn’t bully your uncle.”

“I know, uncle told me.”

“Just say what’s the matter, your dad is busy.”

“Dad, have you reconciled with uncle?”

“Hmm, we reconciled.”

“Did uncle promise to give you the evidence?”

“Yes, he promised.”

""

“That’s great!”

Huo Suicheng knew that she would not get to the point, so he laid his work in his hand aside and looked at her for a moment, “What else do you want to say?”

“Dad, do you know? When Uncle went to the kindergarten this afternoon to look for me, he told me that he had already bought a ticket to travel abroad.”

“So?”

“So, I invited uncle to our house and it was only after I had spoken to him extensively that he agreed to stay and provide evidence to Dad.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s face was filled with the words “Please praise me”

Huo Suicheng understood when he saw Huo Xiaoxiao’s funny expression.

Asking for credit?

He deliberately asked rhetorically, “Really?”

… She would despise her dad if he did not respond positively!

“Yeah, it’s all because of me that my uncle came here.”

“You are so young that you are still having trouble speaking properly; are you still capable of deceiving your uncle? Who taught you?”

""

“When was the last time I was unable to speak clearly? Nobody taught me. I heard you and grandpa say it before! ”

“Big ghost” Huo Suicheng said perfunctorily, “Okay, Dad knows. You go play.”

TLN: a little man, big ghost – be wise beyond one’s years . It means a young child is very smart, resourceful and quick to respond.

“……”

Huo Xiao Xiao’s eyebrows knitted together and she stood up straight to look at him, “Daddy!”

“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”

“I invited my uncle to come.  If it weren’t for me, Dad couldn’t have solved  this matter. I deserve the most credit. Shouldn’t Dad reward me?”

“Reward? What reward do you want?”

After half a day of beating around the bush, her daddy finally got to the point.

Huo Xiaoxiao was very happy and she couldn’t help but smile uncontrollably. “I want…”

“Okay, Dad will tell you a story tonight.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s smile froze in place, “…Dad, I haven’t said what I want!”

“Don’t you want Daddy to tell you a story?”

“No.”

“Then Dad will pick you up from school tomorrow?”

“No.”

“Buy you a present?”

“No!”

Why was her daddy like this? Shouldn’t the reward be proposed by the object who was to be rewarded?

“Huo Xiaoxiao, saying you don’t want this, don’t want that, why are you being so  picky?”

“I don’t want these.”

“Then what do you want?”

Huo Xiaoxiao looked at him expectantly and said, “Dad, I’m afraid of the cold, can I go to the beach with grandpa for a few days this winter?”

Huo Suicheng looked at her, and then hugged the person on his lap.

“Afraid of the cold?”

“Well, and grandpa is not well in winter.”

Old master Huo was not in good health. In winter, due to the weather, all  his old diseases usually hidden in the body will break out. Going to a town with a suitable climate would be an ideal solution.

“Okay, then Dad will reward you… I’ll tell you a story tonight.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s smile gradually disappeared.

“As well as pick you up from school tomorrow.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s little face scrunched up.

“And I’ll take you to the beach in the winter.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, “Really!”

“When did daddy lie to you?”
