Recalling the past, Xi Cheng could not help but feel thankful. “Although I’m a cripple, in such a position, many women would either take the initiative or passively come up to me. However, I couldn’t get interested in them. I felt that those women didn’t give me the right feeling. Perhaps subconsciously, I’ve always loved your mother deeply, that’s why I avoided making mistakes.”
Huo Tian pursed her lips and revealed a faint smile. “In that case, you have the right to appear in front of Mom. I’ll take the same stand as Mom. If Mom forgives you, I will also accept you. If Mom doesn’t forgive you, then I’m sorry, but I can’t call you ‘Dad’.”
Xi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. “That’s enough. Tiantian, I’ll do my best to get your mother’s forgiveness. Before that, I also want you to stand on your mother’s side unconditionally so that she won’t be sad.”
When parents have conflicts, they always like to fight to get their child’s support. This was common in ordinary families, but for Huo Tian, who had lived for two lifetimes, it was an experience she had never experienced before. She started to feel some anticipation.
If Uncle Xi was really her father, would their family be like other families after they got back together? Even if they would be noisy at times, would they be filled with bliss?
Although she was looking forward to having a harmonious family atmosphere, there was still something very important to ascertain.
Huo Tian coughed lightly and said solemnly, “These are just your side of the story. I need concrete evidence to prove our relationship. So, can you give me your biological sample? I can only confirm your identity after taking a DNA test.”
Xi Cheng did not feel offended, nor did he feel that Huo Tian did not trust him. Huo Tian’s suggestion to take a DNA test only meant that she could maintain a rational attitude no matter how surprising the situation was. Xi Cheng admired this very much.
He agreed without hesitation. “That’s what I should do. Although I’m very certain that I’m your father, you probably can only believe me completely after seeing concrete evidence.”
Huo Tian couldn’t help but feel curious when she heard him say that. “Why are you so sure? Didn’t you lose your memory previously? What if you got the wrong person?”
Xi Cheng looked at Huo Tian’s young and plump face as if he wanted to see, through her face, the girl who resembled her in his memories but had a completely different disposition.
He let out a long sigh and said, “Because the moment I saw your mother’s photo, the wife in my dream finally has a face. I know that she’s the lover I’ve forgotten for more than ten years. Moreover, there’s this jade pendant…”
He gestured for Huo Tian to look at the jade pendant that she had forgotten about and explained, “This jade pendant is the only thing your grandmother, my mother, left behind. Unless I were to give it to my wife and child, I won’t let it leave my side.”
Huo Tian gently caressed the jade pendant. She suddenly thought that if she hadn’t become the Huo Tian from hundreds of years later, the original Huo Tian, as an ordinary person, probably wouldn’t have been able to rely on her technological achievements to attract Xi Cheng’s attention. This jade pendant would probably have been hidden by her mother forever. In that case, she wondered if Xi Cheng would still be able to find his long-lost wife and daughter…
Perhaps, in a parallel universe without her, Xi Cheng, who had lost his memories, had spent his entire life without finding his wife and daughter. They might have missed out on each other for their entire lives just like that.
At the thought of this, Huo Tian made up her mind. She looked at Xi Cheng and said firmly, “I don’t want Mom to have any regrets, so I’ll help you if necessary..”
