When Ye Jinxin returned home from school, Huo Tindong still hadn't returned. Looking at the empty living room, Ye Jinxin helplessly pulled at her schoolbag and sighed. She then shouted to Auntie Liu who was cooking in the kitchen, "Auntie, is my dad still not back yet?"

Auntie Liu wiped her apron with her hand, turned around, and said with a smile, "Mr. Huo called just now. He said that there's something urgent at work, so I told you not to wait for him. You can eat by yourself first."

Ye Jinxin's eyes darkened. It was an urgent matter, so he didn't mind using this reason!

It had already been two or three days, and Uncle Zhou Hao would always pick him up and send him off after school. Every time he returned home, he would always eat alone. Ye Jinxin always had the illusion that Huo Tindong was gradually distancing himself from her.

He wanted to get married, so he didn't want to raise her anymore. He didn't even want to come see an adopted daughter that wasn't related by blood.

It was a series of things, first giving her a cold shoulder, then abandoning her.

As expected, he was annoyed too, wasn't he? In fact, anyone who had raised a child for ten years without any blood would find it annoying.

Ye Jinxin kicked the bench and her strength seemed to have been sucked out of her body. She let out a soft sigh, then lowered her head. In the kitchen, she shouted at Auntie Liu, "Auntie, I don't want to eat dinner anymore."

With that, he went back to his room dejectedly.

Auntie Liu could only shake her head. This child was already eighteen years old. He wasn't willing to eat without her dad around.

Actually, Ye Jinxin didn't know that Huo Tindong didn't come home for the past few days because he didn't know how to face Ye Jinxin.

Where he used to think that she was cute had now become sexy. Where he previously thought that she was childish, now it had become charming. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that when he saw Ye Jinxin frown and pout his mouth angrily, he would even react.

How could he dare to walk in front of Ye Jinxin every day with such terrifying thoughts? The girl was still so young, but she was still a little flower bud, a flower bud that treated him as a relative. If he really couldn't control himself and touched her, then he would never be able to redeem this sin in his entire life.

When Ye Jinxin returned to the house, she immediately slept soundly. There was no helping it, she was in a bad mood. What if she was sad and afraid to sleep at the same time?

Perhaps it was due to her malnourishment in the orphanage when she was young, but every time she took a leave, it hurt as if she was reborn. Thus, as long as she came on leave, she would be so terrified that she wouldn't know what was happening.

Feeling that something was off, the girl immediately put on her slippers and walked into the bathroom. After changing into clean clothes and other necessities, Ye Jinxin didn't dare to delay for even a moment and immediately swallowed the painkilling granules she had prepared in the drawer.

He knew he couldn't take too many painkillers, but he couldn't care less now.

Ye Jinxin clenched her teeth and waved at her, "Auntie, don't worry about me. Let me …" Let me stay here for a while. "

Seeing the girl sweating from the pain, Auntie Liu did not dare to listen to her. She immediately ran to the living room phone to give Huo Tindong a call. Everyone knew that Huo Tindong viewed his daughter as more important than his own eyes.

The call was picked up very quickly, much like the time when Huo Tindong was watching the call. In a bit of anxiety, a male voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's the matter, Mrs Liu?"

"Mr. Huo." The woman's voice trembled as she said, "Jinxin seems to be sick, now it hurts so much that her face is pale, her forehead is covered in sweat …"

Huo Ting Dong paused for a moment, then immediately said in a deep voice, "Don't touch her, I'll go back immediately."

"What a heart." As Aunt Liu pushed her sweaty hair back, she comforted softly, "Endure it, I've already called Mr. Huo. He'll be home soon."

Auntie Liu turned the towel over and used a new side to wipe her hair. "How can I not call you Mr. Huo? You can't just carry the towel around like that. How can you be alright if you don't look at it?"

Ye Jinxin bitterly smiled and nodded. Otherwise, I would not have let you call for help. This kind of thing, no one could help, they could only endure it themselves.

Aunt Liu heaved a sigh of relief and continued wiping her sweat. "Then I'm not worried."

Then, he frowned and slapped his forehead, "But I've already called Mr. Huo, he's on his way home, so he might be home soon."

"Then give him another one." Ye Jinxin bit her lower lip and weakly said, "Tell him I'm fine, he doesn't need to come back."

Anyway, he didn't really want to come back, there was a flirtatious Cheng Yiran in the company, why would he want to come back to face a girl who didn't know anything and would only cause him trouble?

"Your face is so white. Tell me, are you alright?" A familiar deep voice came from the door.

Aunt Liu was so frightened that she was stunned. She quickly stood up and called out, "Mr. Huo."

"Mother Liu, you go down and make her some ginger tea."

Auntie Liu nodded in agreement, thinking that she had been too careless. She had been too caught up in her worries that she had forgotten to boil the brown sugar water in Ye Jinxin's heart.

The woman looked at the girl who was still trembling on the ground and immediately turned around. She hurriedly opened the door and went into the kitchen.

When she opened the drawer to get the brown sugar, Auntie Liu's hand paused again. Red sugar water? How did Huo Tindong know that Ye Jinxin needed brown sugar water?

Only Ye Jinxin and Huo Tindong were left in the room.

He leaned against the door frame, folded his arms across his chest, and asked in a cold voice, "Does it still hurt?"

This girl was in so much pain that she didn't even know how to call him. Her courage grew even greater.

He could not help but feel angry at her for trying to be brave. Why did she have to make fun of her body when she was being stubborn?

"Now that you know how to be afraid, aren't you quite capable just now?" His face was so pale from the pain, he dared to say that he was fine. He really deserved a beating.

Ye Jinxin hugged his neck and glared at him fiercely with her shiny black eyes.

It was flowing with light and overflowing with color, causing his heart to palpitate with eagerness.

If he could, he wanted to kiss those two black, gem-like eyes.

Huo Ting Dong walked slowly to put Ye Jinxin on the bed and pulled the blanket over her, covering her tightly.

Ye Jin pouted and did not say anything, but he did not shake it off this time.

Huo Tindong raised his eyebrows when he saw the hot towel on the table. He had heard that it would be quick to warm up when a girl came to take care of things like that.

With this thought in mind, he couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and held the towel in his hand. Just as he was about to enter the bathroom to get some hot water to pour, his hand was stopped by Ye Jinxin on the bed.

"Dad!" Ye Jinxin blinked her pair of wet deer eyes as she gently grabbed his arm and shook it, "Can you not leave first?"

Ye Jin thought that he would return to the company to work overtime.
