Chapter 1: This Is Your Daughter, Please Sign Upon Pick Up

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

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!”

 COMMENT

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?”
