Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: My Dad Is So Petty
He Jingyao led Zhixi over to the sofa and sat down.
He lifted his eyes and saw his son still chatting away with the little girl Tang Yuan, as if he hadn’t seen him at all.
The man curled his lips, and somewhere along the line, a large piece of oddly wrapped chocolate appeared in his hand.
Zhixi recognized it; it was Xiaobao’s favorite chocolate.
Then He Jingyao handed the chocolate to Zhixi, smiling, "Here, this is for you."
Zhixi was stunned for a moment.
Xiaobao finally noticed the commotion, turned his head to look, and just happened to see He Jingyao handing the chocolate to Zhixi. Instantly, he shouted, "Dad, that’s the chocolate I asked you to bring! It’s mine!"
"Oh, it’s yours?" He Jingyao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Xiaobao quickly ran over and nodded vigorously, "Yeah, this morning before I left, I asked Dad to bring a piece of this chocolate when he came to pick me up. I want to share it with Sister Tang Yuan... Dad, did you forget?"
"Oh, I thought you didn’t want it. Otherwise, why did you act like you didn’t see me?" He Jingyao lifted his eyes, with a half-smiling expression.
"Dad, I’m sorry!" Xiaobao apologized pitifully.
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh, took the piece of chocolate, and handed it to her son, "Go ahead, but don’t eat too much."
Xiaobao giggled, holding the chocolate joyfully as he went off to find his Sister Tang Yuan.
From afar, you could still hear him complaining, "... My dad is so petty."
Zhixi burst out laughing, while He Jingyao’s face darkened.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Tang Yuan came over and greeted him nicely, "Uncle He."
He Jingyao smiled slightly and reached out to play with the little girl’s pigtails.
...
After a long while, Huo Yanzhao and Yun Xuefei finally walked out of the kitchen.
Both seemed decently dressed, so it should be assumed they hadn’t done anything inappropriate for children.
However, Yun Xuefei’s eyes and lips were both red.
Seeing He Jingyao, Huo Yanzhao was slightly taken aback, "Jingyao?"
He Jingyao looked at him, his gaze dark and his face expressionless.
Huo Yanzhao knew he was in the wrong, his smile turned a bit complicated. He moved his lips but didn’t have time to speak before Tang Yuan rushed over.
He quickly picked up his daughter.
"Daddy!" The little girl held onto him, unwilling to let go, pitifully.
Huo Yanzhao felt a soft spot in his heart, and he didn’t bother to explain to He Jingyao anymore, instead focusing on comforting his daughter.
Feeling a bit awkward, Yun Xuefei quickly made a cup of hot tea for He Jingyao and brought it over, smiling, "You and Zhixi take a seat first. Stay for lunch here."
He Jingyao didn’t move.
Zhixi quickly took it and handed it to the man beside her.
He Jingyao lifted his eyes.
It seemed he was still a bit angry.
Zhixi blinked, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
He Jingyao’s heart was touched.
Her expression, it was as if she was back to her old self.
He smiled faintly and accepted the cup of tea.
Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yun Xuefei, "Sister Xuefei, let me help you."
Saying this, she stood up and went to the kitchen with Yun Xuefei.
He Jingyao took a sip of the hot tea.
Huo Yanzhao was still talking to his daughter.
His expression was gentle, and for all the childish questions of the little girl, he seemed to have endless patience.
He Jingyao was indeed a bit angry initially.
But seeing this scene, his anger unknowingly dissipated.
... Let’s just chalk it up to the little girl’s credit.
After a while, Huo Yanzhao finally put his daughter down, letting her go play with Xiaobao.
He came over and sat down opposite He Jingyao.
