Chapter 1: This Is Your Daughter, Please Sign Upon Pick Up
Huo Yao was famous for being difficult to approach and he didn’t particularly like associating himself with women.
There were numerous women who wanted to climb into his bed but in the end, they all ruined their reputation and left tragically.
His level of cruelty and fierceness was infuriating.
So after every young lady from rich families failed to climb into his bed, their love turned into hate as they cursed that this dog Huo Yao shall be destined to be alone for the rest of his life with no successor.
Huo Yao occasionally heard these rumors but he sneered at them, “No successor? Tsk, do I need something like children?”
“Children, they are a burden and a waste of money, of course–”
He suddenly changed his attitude as his handsome face was filled with unreasonable coldness, “In the generation where profits are above everything else, I can keep that little thing for an arranged marriage for business if she is of any use at all.”
Listen: is that something that should be said by a human?
This deranged dog of a man wouldn’t even let his child off easily.
He even planned to use his child for more benefits for him; a business marriage.
He’s no human!
And at this moment...
The Director-general Huo whom they cursed ‘destined to be alone for the rest of his life’ and ‘to die without successor’ suddenly received a prank-like message out of the blue.
Ding. “Your daughter has been delivered, remember to sign when you take her, mua~”
That rippling little wave made a rare crack appear on the man’s always cold and expressionless face.
Daughter?
What daughter?
He has a daughter? What a joke!
Huo Yao’s lips curved upwards as he stared at the message for a few seconds, eventually deciding to delete it without hesitation with a cold face as he thought someone mental was playing a prank on him.
In fact, no matter who encountered this kind of thing, they wouldn’t keep this on their mind.
Who would take a groundless message for real?
He sneered coldly and continued to deal with the rest of his files.
...
It was about half an hour after he had deleted the message.
Huo Yao suddenly heard a light knock on his office door.
The man kept his head lowered as he continued to flip the files; he worked indifferently without even bothering to look up.
“Come in.”
Huo Yao thought it was his manager or someone from the company who was looking for him, but nothing happened after he waited for a while.
The man frowned impatiently and looked up, repeating it again coldly, “Come in!”
His tone was so harsh that it was enough to scare a child into tears.
After he finished speaking, there was finally the sound of movements as the person outside the door slowly pushed the door open.
“Daddy.”
With a little baby’s voice calling for daddy, the little thing quietly stuck her head in and her cat-like eyes lit up after she saw the person inside. Without another thought, she tightly clung onto her evil daddy’s 180cm-long legs.
“...”
In an instant, they were surrounded by a deathly stillness.
Huo Yao’s hands holding the files trembled slightly from the word ‘daddy’ and all the papers fell onto the ground.
But right now, the man was too occupied to bother about it.
Huo Yao frowned slightly and put the folder down expressionlessly, looking down at the little thing that suddenly popped out. He felt the middle of his forehead jump and he squeezed a few words through his teeth rigidly.
“Let. Go.”
The little ball hugging his thighs looked like she was around five years old. She was wrapped in fluffy, milk-white clothes, the snow colored hood hid half of her face and he wasn’t able to see what she looked like with her head lowered.
There was a small puppy in her pocket, its softness almost blended in with her clothes.
“Nooo.”
The little thing hugged his legs tightly with her face buried in her hood. She pouted with her white yet soft little face, firmly replying with one word.
——No, no, not letting go.
Let go and Daddy’s going to run away.
Before she left, her Grandpas told her that she could only reach the peak of her life if she hugged her daddy’s legs tightly.
Little Ye Sang tilted her head sideways and pondered.
And she thought her Grandpas were right.
Huo Yao’s jaw was clenched together tightly and he studied the little thing who popped out of nowhere with an exceptionally cold and gloomy face.
Half of the little girl’s face was covered but the hood naturally fell back as she looked up, waiting anxiously.
She had a head of slightly curly black hair that reached her waist and a small strand of hair stuck up on top of her head. The tassels on a pair of old-styled hairpins draped down to her dimples sweetly. It was enough to melt anyone’s hearts.
And she didn’t dress like no one wanted her. Huo Yao looked askance at the little thing who was still hugging his legs tightly and his cold face looked as if it was covered in a layer of frost. The veins near his temples throbbed as he was at the end of his patience, “I don’t have such a big daughter like you.”
Hurry up and let go!
The little ball rubbed her face against his pants and blinked her moist and cat-like eyes, “Noooo.”
The girl spoke unclearly and the little puppy jumped out of her pocket and wagged its tail behind her.
A big one and a small one, both white and fluffy.
Normal people’s hearts would melt at the sight.
But unfortunately, Huo Yao wasn’t a normal person.
He was like a vicious and merciless villain from a novel, how could you expect him to be soft-hearted for a little bun that he’s seeing for the first time?
Impossible.
Like a big villain without emotions, he looked down at her firmly and mercilessly grabbed her and pulled her down, ordering impatiently, “Get out, I don’t repeat my words twice.”
Little Ye Sang blinked in confusion, tilting her little head upwards to stare at him.
“Daddy, what are you saying?”
Huo Yao gnashed his teeth, “I told you to get the f*** out!”
Whose little devil ran away from home?
Sangsang tilted her head sideways in confusion and cutely repeated him in an attempt to speak like the man, “Get out...”
And she dragged her milky and cute voice on, “I don’t repeat my words twiceee....”
Huo Yao stared, flabbergasted.
She started to pull on his legs again softly, asking with her little head tilted, “Daddy, didn’t you say you don’t repeat your words twice?”
The man’s face suddenly fell and it looked like a storm was coming.
Special Assistant Zhao, who had just come in to deliver more files, had his eyes twitching from fear.
He didn’t hesitate to doubt that if the little girl said one more sentence, Director-general Huo would mercilessly lift her by the collar and throw her outside, making Ye Sang know what pain and suffering were.
Special Assistant Zhao’s legs trembled and studied little Ye Sang in a panicked state.
Where, where did this child come from?
Oh, dear.
Are her parents mad? How dare they send their child into their Director-general’s office? Aren’t they afraid that she would walk in vertically but leave horizontally?
“Director-general, the files you wanted.”
In order to prevent the raging Huo Yao from killing the little thing with a single slap, Special Assistant Zhao quickly passed the files over and resolved the funny but awkward confrontation between the father and daughter.
Huo Yao rubbed his forehead and picked up the little girl by her collar with one hand, shoving Ye Sang into Special Assistant Zhao’s arms harshly.
“Send her to the police station, find her parents to pick her up.”
He continued to smile coldly, “She’s so young and she already learned how to scam? She would be up in the clouds after she grows up.”
Ye Sang immediately stuck her head out of Special Assistant Zhao’s arms acceptingly. She widened her cat-like eyes and yelled back, “Sangsang didn’t scam!”
Her harmless babbling voice could make their hearts melt.
The dominating Director-general who didn’t have any emotions harrumphed. He didn’t look like his heart was melted at all as he narrowed his eyes, his voice was sharp, “You little brat, how dare you yell at me?”
Chapter 2: Don’t Behave Like Huo Yao Too Much
“Not a brat...”
The little girl recalled Daddy number one’s cruelty and hid her neck in her clothes unconfidently, “Sangsang has a name.”
She was deadly earnest:
“My name is Ye Sang!”
Huo Yao leaned back in his chair sloppily and cast a sidelong glance at the little ball askance, smiled lightly, and suddenly had the interest in teasing her, “What’s your name?”
The little thing babbled, “Ye Sang!”
She dragged her cute voice, and the soft tone almost made Special Assistant Zhao’s nose bleed.
“Oh...” But Huo Yao, who didn’t quite have the heart of a young lady, put on a fake smile, “Your surname is Ye.”
And with a cold face, he said, “Send her to the police station, now, immediately, at once!”
When the man lifted his eyes and saw that Special Assistant Zhao was completely distracted by her cuteness, his lips twitched slightly and he immediately lost hope for this guy.
Huo Yao stood up with a cold face and picked up the little girl by the collar in disdain. He studied her up and down, sneered coldly, and turned to throw her outside.
But he didn’t expect Ye Sang to be so stubborn.
Seeing that her cheap Daddy number one was really going to throw her outside, she recalled what her grandpas at the research institute told her before she left.
She quickly hugged the man’s arms tightly and refused to let go.
Huo Yao saw that he wasn’t able to throw her and he frowned slightly. He repeated without any expression, “I’m not your daddy.”
He would never have such a stupid daughter.
The little ball didn’t expect her daddy to be so cold.
She leaned her soft body forward and grabbed Huo Yao’s clothes tightly with her white arms which looked like the root of lotus, and started to cry.
“No, Sangsang doesn’t want to go.”
“Grandpa said...” The little thing burped between sobs and continued to complain, “Don’t behave like Huo Yao too much...”
How could this cheap daddy do this?
Huo Yao’s face immediately turned dark.
What the hell? Don’t behave like Huo Yao too much?
Which stinky old man taught her that?
It wasn’t the time to look into this question right now.
The man breathed deeply and calmed down. He glanced at Special Assistant Zhao coldly and lowered his tone, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take her away!”
Special Assistant Zhao snapped back to reality and quickly picked her up. He carried the chubby girl in his arms and couldn’t help but pinch her face lightly.
As expected, it was as soft as tofu — it was as if water would come out if he pinched her.
Special Assistant Zhao hesitated for a while. He looked down into the girl’s harmless cat eyes and his heart that wanted to leave with her started to sway, “Director-general...”
He summoned the courage against Huo Yao’s chilly glance and gabbed as if he wasn’t afraid to die:
“Perhaps this child is really your daughter?”
Huo Yao glanced at her and simpered, “My daughter?”
Perhaps because he had nothing to do and there wasn’t any urgent work that needed to be dealt with, Huo Yao suddenly had the bad taste of wanting to tease the unfamiliar little ball that came out of nowhere.
The man met the little girl’s hazy cat eyes and recalled the message he deleted half an hour ago untimely.
His daughter?
Tsk.
Pure bulls***.
How could he have a daughter?
Huo Yao smirked coldly and held back his malicious expressions, looking towards her with subtle judgment, “How old are you?”
The little ball counted with her hands seriously and waved her lotus root-like arms as her cat eyes curved with her smile, “Sangsang is five years old!”
Huo Yao was distracted by her clean and naive smile for a second but then sneered coldly.
Chapter 3: Sangsang Is A Troublesome Girl
“That’s such an ugly smile.”
He didn’t expect those stinky old men to be so deranged that they’d use a five-year-old child to be their spy.
Ah, how the public morals were degenerating with each passing day.
When the little thing heard that her daddy had called her ugly, her teary cat-like eyes stared at Huo Yao and pouted unhappily, on the brink of crying.
The man looked up and abruptly saw her face, but shifted his glance away with faint indifference. Soon after, his lips curved up unnoticeably and he had to force his laughter back.
This little thing was so stupid, it mustn’t have been easy for her to live until now.
The little thing saw that this cheap daddy really had no intention of keeping her, so she forced her tears back and approached him, trying to advertise herself cutely, “Not only did my bed collapse, there’s no water in my home, I lost the key, and the air conditioner is also broken...”
After a pause, Ye Sang tilted her little face up and emphasized earnestly, “Even my puppy’s going to die from heat...”
“I don’t care, Sangsang wants to sleep in your home.”
When the little thing pursed her lips, the two soft little dimples appeared, and she looked so obedient while making up nonsense.
Special Assistant Zhao, who was carrying her, exploded into laughter.
He lovingly pinched the little girl’s soft face and his chest was quaking from how adorable she was.
This is such a good child!
The man frowned slightly as his face grew colder.
Without knowing why, watching the milky little thing in another man’s arms in such a ‘benevolent father and filial son’ scene made him feel unpleasant.
Huo Yao’s expressions were bland and his dark eyes were fixed on Special Assistant Zhao closely. What came out of his mouth wasn’t thought through either. “Take your hand off her face!”
Special Assistant Zhao was scolded by his boss out of nowhere and his movement froze. Under the little ball’s confused eyes, he unwillingly moved his hand away.
Huo Yao felt more comfortable when he saw the salty pig trotter leave the little girl’s face.
He was too lazy to bother with his sudden emotions, so he waved at Ye Sang, gesturing Special Assistant Zhao put the girl down.
The little thing adorably shook her head and stood on the ground. She blinked her grape-like eyes and fixed her gaze on him with a tilted head, “Daddy...”
“Hug.”
This adorable ‘hug’ almost made Special Assistant Zhao shriek.
Huo Yao’s cold face didn’t show any emotions as he watched the little thing in front of him. He glanced at the puppy she was hugging tightly in her arms and frowned lightly.
The little thing brought a puppy together to scam him?
The man took a step back in dislike and glanced at the little thing, harrumphed, then gave a half-smile and said in a cold tone.
“You wish.”
A little girl who showed out of nowhere to scam him wanted to make him hug her?
No way.
Ye Sang was rejected and met Huo Yao’s cold eyes, confused. She subconsciously hugged the little puppy in her arms and sounded like she was treated unfairly.
“...Cheap daddy.”
He didn’t have to hug her.
The man heard her mutter and stood up with a hand in his pocket, strode towards her with his long legs, and looked down at the little thing in front of his eyes.
The little ball looked up at him without talking, tears filled grape-like cat eyes, and her pitiful expressions could shatter people’s hearts.
“...”
Perhaps because they were connected by blood, the little girl’s silence and attempt to hold back her tears indeed looked pitiful.
The man eventually hooked the little girl up in his arms with a cold face. The little ball’s soft body was like dough, as if she didn’t have any weight. He ‘tsked’ in disdain and sounded indifferent:
“Troublesome girl.”
Chapter 4: The Evil Daddies Who Could Cover the Sky With One Hand
After he finished speaking, the man strode away with his long legs.
Special Assistant Zhao followed behind him, secretly speechless.
What happened to not hugging her?
Then put the freaking girl down and let me hug her instead!
...
Huo Yao got in the car and put the obedient little ball on his thighs. He pinched Ye Sang’s soft little face without expressions and ordered, “Go back to the Huo family.”
“Yes, sir.” The driver replied politely, not daring to say anything else as he observed the situation.
Ye Sang, whose face was suddenly pinched by her cheap Daddy: “...”
The little girl’s round, cat eyes were filled with mists and she glared at Huo Yao without daring to say anything, pouting in silence.
Huo Yao raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t bothered by Ye sang’s dislike towards him.
She was only a child.
He could give her to someone else if he was unhappy with her.
Who cares who she was.
Ye Sang looked up gloomily and caught the coldness at the bottom of Huo Yao’s eyes.
She rested her chin on the puppy’s head and hugged the only belonging she had right now.
The grandpas gave the puppy to her before she left.
Ye Sang lowered her head and uncertainty filled her cat eyes.
Her grandpas said that her daddies were evil villains from a novel targeted at boys, all of them could cover the sky with one hand.
They were all cold by nature, vicious and merciless.
During the early stages, all of them were almighty and could cover the sky with their hands.
Later, they were team killed by the extremely smart male lead called Duan Jinyan.
Ye Sang supported her chin with her hands and blinked her cat eyes in confusion.
Was money not good enough for them, or were sweets not sweet enough for them? Her daddies were all rich and powerful, so why did they have to provoke the male lead?
The little thing was still a bit scared of Huo Yao... even though this person was her real Dad.
But without a paternity test, it would be impossible for Huo Yao to believe her.
Little Ye Sang was close to crying.
Her Grandpas were just as almighty, how did they forget her paternity tests before they sent her out?
Her evil daddies weren’t gentle, and they were all cruel too. She was so scared that she was going to get thrown out on the street midway.
On the way, little Ye Sang started to fall asleep. The puppy in her arms nudged against her and the warm fluffy little thing made her even more sleepy.
The man glanced sideways towards the little ball who sat up straight and obediently. Her slightly curled eyelashes were hanging downwards, her little head constantly bopping down as if she was about to fall asleep.
Her grape-like eyes were round and her pink lips were pouted slightly, even the look of it softened and melted people’s hearts.
Huo Yao was lost in thoughts for a while as he stared coldly at the little thing, his lips pursed together tightly into a thin line.
When Ye Sang’s little head almost hit the back of the seat in front of her, his pupils shrank and his actions were faster than his thoughts as he quickly stretched his hand out to keep her head off the seat.
The warm palm indeed helped her ease the bump — the little girl didn’t feel too much pain but woke up from it.
She covered her forehead tearily and her white little face was filled with confusion. After quite a while, she decided to be her daddy’s brainless admirer: “As expected, Daddy is a good man...”
Who said that her evil Daddy was heartless?
Huo Yao ignored her naive words and stared at his palm, his cold face incomprehensible like an abyss.
The man frowned slightly, having no idea why he just blocked the bump for a strange little child.
