Secretary Jiang throws out the divorce papers, and President Huo loses control with red eyes.

Chapter 253 Horstley Experiences the Feelings of a Novice

Jiang Qin actually wanted to say no.

Don't laugh, but her experiences from childhood to adulthood have made it impossible for her to be a cheerful and generous person.

After all, if she were magnanimous and forgot the pain as soon as the wound healed, she would have been tortured to death by those heartless fake parents countless times over.

Perhaps when he arrives at the King of Hell's palace, even the King of Hell himself will exclaim, "How could someone be so stupid?"

But at this moment, the one speaking up for her in support of Horstley was none other than her most beloved daughter.

Jiang Qin hesitated.

However, after hesitating, she still didn't intend to disregard her own wishes.

"Not necessarily, it depends on how Uncle behaves," Jiang Qin said.

The words were very direct, which made Tian Tian a little unhappy and let out an "ah". But soon, the little girl laughed as if she had thought of something.

"Sweetie understands. So, Mommy is still giving the weird uncle a chance to be Sweetie's daddy. Is Sweetie right?"

Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sweetie hugged Jiang Qin, snuggled against her affectionately, and looked up at her from her arms, "Mommy, is Sweetie right?"

What does it mean to take an inch and then a mile? Who can take an inch and a mile from Jiang Qin now?

The only one left is the little baby in her arms right now.

"Yes, that's right." Jiang Qin finally agreed.

Sweetie's eyes lit up with joy, and she kissed Jiang Qin on the cheek.

He then smiled and looked at Huo Sili, "Uncle, did you hear that?"

"Mommy said she's giving you the chance to be a sweet daddy!"

Sweetie wanted to say something more, but Jiang Qin glanced at her and Sweetie immediately became well-behaved, hugging her mother and showering her with praise.

Another "friend zone" card arrived: "Mommy's the best!"

Jiang Qin: "..."

She could tell that the little one really wanted Horstley to be her dad.

But of course, this idea probably only existed before Sweetie knew about what happened between her and Horley.

As for what happens if she accidentally learns about her past with Huo Sili in the future, her positive feelings towards Huo Sili will probably shatter.

However, he is only two and a half years old, and he is still far from being truly sensible.

Jiang Qin carried Tian Tian and left the small study first. After a while, Huo Sili followed her out of the small study.

Inside the large apartment, the elderly couple sat on the sofa, one seemingly reading a newspaper and the other looking at photos they had just taken of their great-grandson. In reality, they were both glancing towards the small study from time to time.

There were servants along the way. When Tian Tian went over just now, the old man was with her.

But fearing that if the door were to suddenly open and reveal the situation inside, it would be awkward for the two younger relatives who were having a serious conversation to see him. So after seeing Tian Tian to the door, the old man asked a nearby maid to watch over Tian Tian, ​​while he went back to the large apartment to watch from afar.

When Jiang Qin came out carrying Tian Tian, ​​the two elderly people who happened to be looking in the direction of the small study were suddenly caught in the act with some embarrassment.

But my body reacted faster than my brain, and I instinctively stood up.

A second later, Qiu Huilan stopped pretending and came over to take her great-grandson, "Sweetie, does Great-Grandma want a hug?"

Sweetie looked at Jiang Qin, who nodded gently.

Only then did Tian Tian let the old lady take her onto her body.

Just as the old lady was carrying Tian Tian to the sofa to continue reading storybooks with her great-grandson, Horsley happened to come out from the study.

The two elders couldn't help but glance at Huo Sili's face, but seeing that Jiang Qin was also looking in their direction, they immediately smiled and looked away, pretending that it was all unintentional.

The old man was sitting on Tian Tian's left, and the old woman was sitting on her right.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin didn't go over there anymore. Instead, she picked up a book and sat down on another single sofa to read it.

The two elders took turns telling Tian Tian stories, while Huo Sili, who was walking over, pretended not to see them.

Huo Sili wasn't embarrassed. He moved another single sofa next to Jiang Qin and gently placed it down.

I also picked up a book and started reading.

The atmosphere was subtle, yet strangely convincing, one had to admit that it was indeed harmonious.

And just like that, time flew by and it was lunchtime.

After lunch, and after staying a while longer, Jiang Qin checked the weather and sunset time, but didn't rush to take Tian Tian back.

It was still early, although the old lady had called her over mainly to deal with her and Horstley's matter.

But after spending time together, Jiang Qin naturally realized that the old lady really missed her and Tian Tian. Since the weather was nice and she had time, she wanted to spend more time with the old lady.

However, Sweetie started feeling sleepy again shortly after lunch.

"Mommy..." She was excited to continue listening to her great-grandmother and great-grandfather tell her the stories from the book, but now that she was sleepy, she immediately looked for her mother.

Jiang Qin was about to go downstairs for a walk. The Huo family's scenery was beautiful, with precious flowers planted all over the manor, many of which bloomed in winter.

People with a natural talent for art are sensitive to color, and when she arrived, she vaguely noticed a few rare colors in the snowy day on the main building.

I have some free time right now, and I'm feeling relaxed, so I thought I'd go take a look.

As soon as we reached the elevator, Tian Tian started to fuss.

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Qin was about to turn around and hug him, Huo Sili stepped forward first.

"Can Daddy hold Sweetie?"

Sweetie looked at the handsome man walking towards her, her big, sleepy eyes struggling to open. The next second, her mouth pursed even more pitifully, and her voice became even louder: "I want Mommy!"

Huo Sili felt somewhat hurt.

But then I thought, doesn't this just prove that Tian Tian loves his wife very much?

She's such a good person, she deserves to be loved, especially since she's been raising her daughter for the past three years, and Tian Tian is her own child.

There can be a big difference between biological children and those born to one's parents.

Huo Sili quickly calmed himself down. After all, in the past three years, ever since he learned that she was indeed pregnant, he had been reading books and papers about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting during the time he couldn't see her.

That makes sense. As a father, he doesn't have to go through the hardships of pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, or the physical and mental exhaustion after giving birth.

Moreover, unlike other fathers who take care of their wives during pregnancy, accompany them during childbirth, and care for them day and night after delivery, he is not like them.

He didn't. Even now, he can't be sure which condom malfunctioned and caused her pregnancy, because he knows for sure that he used contraception every time.

Regardless of the circumstances, one thing is certain: she sacrificed a great deal to become a mother, while he made a difference in becoming a father.

There was absolutely no effort put in.

After all... what kind of "sacrifice" is that?

Only shameless people dare to argue that they have paid a price.

So, what gives him the right to think that he is capable of, or rather, worthy of, receiving equal affection from his daughter at this point?

He doesn't deserve it. He still has a lot to learn and improve.

Huo Sili watched as Jiang Qin picked up Tian Tian, ​​and Tian Tian immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep obediently in her arms, and thought to himself.

Sweetie was placed on the large bed with railings that the old lady had prepared.

Horstley stayed inside the house, watching quietly.

Jiang Qin estimated how long Tian Tian might sleep this time. She went downstairs to look at the flowers first, and then came back to chat with the two elderly people. After chatting for a while, the estimated time was up, but Tian Tian still hadn't woken up.

I went downstairs for a walk and took some photos with the two elders.

When I came back and opened the door, I saw that Tian Tian was still sleeping soundly.

On the sofa by the bed, he propped his head up and leaned closer to see the sweet-looking Horsley looking over.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Qin still felt uncomfortable and gently closed the door.

As the sun gradually set, and darkness fell early in winter, Song Xinye became somewhat worried and called to inquire.

"Qinqin, have you started your journey back yet? I think it's getting a bit colder tonight. If you haven't started your journey yet, you should start as soon as possible."

Visibility is poor at night, it's still snowing outside, and the roads are icy, making it dangerous.

What Song Xinye could consider, Jiang Qin, who had lived in Kyoto for so many years, naturally understood as well.

Song Xinye is right, it's time to go back.

Jiang Qin agreed, ended the call, pushed open the door to the room, and met Huo Sili's gaze in the next instant.

The words Jiang Qin was about to say slipped out of her mouth, but she swallowed them back down.

"..." She pinched herself.

He led himself inside, saying, "Well, it's getting late, I'm taking Tian Tian back."

"You can stay. She's not awake yet, and it's not good to disturb the child's sleep."

Does he need to say whether it's good or bad?

Jiang Qin began learning about related knowledge when she became pregnant, and naturally she knew that it was best for such a young child to sleep until he woke up naturally. Waking him up abruptly could easily startle him and affect his development.

But it's okay if it happens only once in a while, and besides, it's her who's called Sweetie, not someone else.

Besides, when she used to hold her daughter, she usually wouldn't wake Tian Tian up.

But this person has taken charge.

Jiang Qin glanced at Huo Sili, ignored him, and picked up her daughter in front of him.

Just like Jiang Qin, Tian Tian has keen senses. Upon smelling her mother's familiar scent, she didn't even open her eyes. She simply found a comfortable position in her mother's arms and continued sleeping.

Huo Sili watched Jiang Qin leave with her daughter: "..."

What defines a pro and what defines a newbie?

At that moment, he deeply understood it.

He belatedly realized that his earlier remarks might have annoyed her.

But then I quickly thought, there's probably no dislike, but recalling her expression just now, there's definitely some speechlessness.

"Hello? Mr. Huo, is there something you need?"

He Xu, who had already returned to work, suddenly received a call from his boss and became very nervous.

Why did you suddenly call him? Did things not go well with your meeting with your wife? Or did something go wrong with your clothes that he didn't notice when he showed them to Mr. Huo, causing Mr. Huo to embarrass himself in front of his wife?

That's impossible. He clearly examined the clothes very carefully at the time, and they were absolutely perfect, making him look incredibly young.

Suddenly, Huo Sili said something shocking: "Find me a few well-known online dad accounts, contact them directly, I need one-on-one guidance and answers to my questions—"

"I don't want the marketing type, I want real dads, preferably from ordinary backgrounds, with harmonious marriages, children and sweet relationships with their wives."

He Xu: "...?" No, isn't this a bit too much of a challenge for an older single guy like him?
