He took a few steps, took another cigarette from his pocket, and was about to light it when he caught sight of Mama Huo standing next to him. She tossed the cigarette into the ashtray on the table with a frown and said in a low voice, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You don't understand?" Mother Huo's expression suddenly became very excited. She pointed downstairs and growled, "This girl treats you as her closest kin. What dirty thoughts do you have to look at her?!"

This sentence was too vicious. Huo Tindong's face instantly turned dark and gloomy. He suppressed his voice and said, "I treated her as my daughter. You're overthinking it!"

Mother Huo let out a long sigh, as if she realized how overbearing she was and said softly, "Tinton, you may be able to fool others, but I'm your mother! With just a glance, I can tell what you're thinking. Look at that girl, her eyes are the same as they were ten years ago! "

"Mom!" "I told you not to mention that woman."

Mother Huo opened her mouth, while pain flashed across her face, "You can't be still blaming yourself, right?"

Huo Tindong was silent for a long time before he let out a long breath and slowly said, "It's been so long. I forgot."

"If I forget about her, then where's the heart?" Mother Huo frowned. "What are you going to do with her?"

"We have nothing to do with each other. I think of her as my daughter."

Although Mother Huo was still frowning, she was visibly more relieved than when she first arrived.

"Ting Dong, that girl is still young and innocent. She doesn't have much of a mind. I really like her, so I hope you can understand what you're doing."

He leaned back against the window frame, the sunlight behind him casting a shadow across his eyes, making him look unfathomable.

Just when her mother thought he would stop answering, the man said, "I know."

Know what? Did he know the relationship between Ye Jinxin and him, or did he know that he would restrain his feelings?

Mother Huo shook her head and walked outside. When she reached the entrance, she suddenly turned around and said, "Lin Yun asked me to ask you if I can let her stay at her house during holidays or weekends. She said that Yun Qi is a classmate of Jinxin, and when the two of them are together, they can …"

"No way!" "Tell my sister that her good son should stay away from Jinxin. My daughter is only 18 years old!"

Mother Huo stroked her white hair. "The two of them learning together is a good thing. Why do I have to stop them?" Don't even mention being the foster father, you don't even have the right to control the freedom of the child. " With that, he humphed and leisurely walked away on his small waist.

Huo Tindong suddenly turned around and punched the windowsill! Her freedom? What freedom did she have! I am his father, so I should always be in charge!

The older Jiang was, the more experienced he was. Huo Tindong's words did not dispel the gloom that had accumulated in his heart even though the cold wind blew for a long time.

The anxiety that was fluctuating up and down in his heart was like venom that was spreading all over the place.

"Dad!" Ye Jinxin opened the door excitedly and rushed to Huo Tindong's side with a small, muddy face.

Huo Tindong's mind was filled with thoughts as he looked at the girl in front of him with a calm expression. "What's wrong?"

Ye Jinxin mysteriously pointed at the house, "I heard from Aunt Huo that you lived in that room when you were young?"

He shook the dirt from his hands in disgust and began to rub the black spot at the corner of her mouth again.

"Dad!" Ye Jinxin's heart ached and she continued asking with her eyes squinted, "Was that the room you lived in when you were a child?"

"What does it have to do with you? Why are you asking this?"

"Of course it does!" With a straight face, Ye Jinxin seriously said, "I want to know about you."

Huo Tindong's hand paused for a moment. He asked in a playful tone, "Do you know me?" The girl nodded her head firmly. Huo Tinton took out a white handkerchief from his suit pocket and carefully wiped her face. He then folded the handkerchief and put it back into his suit pocket.

Ye Jinxin thought about it carefully and realized that there was no good reason for it. He rubbed the back of his head and nonchalantly replied, "You are my father, and I am your daughter. Do you need any other reason to know about this?"

A hint of loneliness flashed through Huo Tinton's eyes, but he soon calmed down. He used his hand to push the girl's shoulder and pretended to be impatient as he said, "Alright, alright, continue fighting with those little scumbags. With your dirty look, don't even think about entering my room."

"Ah! Don't!" Ye Jin's heels rubbed against the floor tightly, but he didn't take a step forward.

"Dad." Ye Jinxin twisted her neck and looked at him pleadingly, "Just let me go in and take a look."

Ye Jinxin stared at him blankly. Huo Tindong frowned and took a step back, covering the back of the girl's head with his palm. He then said with a deep voice, "Why are you still standing there foolishly? Let's go!"

Ye Jinxin reacted and immediately followed with a beaming smile.

"Ai!" Looking at the room in front of him, Ye Jin wrinkled his nose in disappointment, "So he looks so ordinary."

She thought that the house that the seemingly overpowered Huo Tinton used to live in when he was a child would be a lot different from the one he lived in now.

"Dad" Ye Jinxin touched the art school mural on the wall with an expression of disbelief, "Did you like this kind of painting since you were young?"

Huo Tinton nodded.

"Tsk tsk." Ye Jin could not help but shake his head, "Indeed, you've been so deranged since you were young!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Huo Ting turned around and fell onto the sofa. He leaned against the soft cushion of the chair and squinted his eyes. "Do you really think that everyone is as useless as you?"

Ye Jin's heart skipped a beat, "Who's useless!"

"Who's six years old and still enjoying themselves?"

Ye Jinxin's expression changed. She straightened her neck and retorted, "What do you know? That's a normal childhood. It's not like you at all!"

"I don't have a childhood."

Ye Jinxin's expression froze and she was so depressed that she didn't know how to reply.

"Come here."

Ye Jinxin walked in front of him in a daze.

Huo Ting held the girl in his arms as he held her in his arms. He raised his slender hands and pinched her cheek as he spoke with a serious tone.

"You are my childhood."
