Chapter 12: Dad, Why Aren't You Happy?

Although the children's skin was tender and delicate, early in the morning, Huo Suicheng had dragged his daughter four or five steps without thinking, causing her knee to be bruised. After Aunt Zhao applied the medicine, her knee turned from red to purple. That white, delicate, and tender skin on her legs looked frightening.
She didn't care even if they came back so late, and he used her as a shield.

She didn't care if he used her as an excuse to build an amusement park.

But did he have to rub salt in her wounds after dumping the blame?

Did she count the injuries he caused to her? No!

Had he stopped before, Huo Xiaoxiao wouldn't have done it either.

As soon as the skirt was pulled off, she was not afraid that both of them would end in mutual destruction.

As expected, Old Master Huo was shocked when he saw Huo Xiaoxiao's knee injury.

"What's going on? How did your knee hurt like this?"

Huo Xiaoxiao was at once in low spirits, yet she didn't cry and endured it. Her mouth pouted, and in a blink of an eye, raindrop-sized tears fell down. She sobbed from time to time, as if she was out of breath. Huo Xiaoxiao's expression of injustice and forbearance was much more painful than crying and screaming.

Old Master Huo was heartbroken by his little granddaughter.

"Don't cry, don't cry," Old Master Huo consoled. Then he wiped Huo Xiaoxiao's tears with one hand and shouted, "Go and get some medicine!"

After ordering, he couldn't help but nag. "What's going on? You got such a big bruise, but no one noticed? How painful it is!"

The medicine was delivered by Uncle Chen and carefully applied to Huo Xiaoxiao's knee.

Except for Huo Xiaoxiao's sobbing, the living room was plunged into silence, and even the drop of a needle could be heard.

"No one knows what is going on? Is no one taking care of such a small child...?" Speaking of which, Old Master Huo seemed to think of something. His eyes shifted from Huo Xiaoxiao's knee to Huo Suicheng. "You say."

Huo Suicheng knew from the moment Huo Xiaoxiao lifted her skirt that he would be scolded today. He kept silent to minimize his sense of existence, but he still couldn't escape.

Still, he could not tell the truth.

"She accidentally fell in the morning."

"Accidentally fell? How? You just watched from the side and didn't take good care of her? How old is she that you let her fall like this?" Old Master Huo suddenly flared up. "She is your daughter. How did you become a father? Fortunately, it's only bruised and swollen. She is a child; what will you do in the future if her leg breaks somehow?"

Huo Suicheng's face did not change. "I'll pay attention next time."

"Next time! I think you just don't care!"

Holding a stick in his hand, he threatened to hit Huo Suicheng on the arm.

Huo Xiaoxiao was shocked. She didn't expect her grandfather to be so angry, so she subconsciously took her grandfather's hand.

It was a subconscious move.

When she reacted, she was already hugging her grandfather's leg.

"..." She calmed down for a second, rubbing her tears up along with her eyes. "No fighting."
