Chapter 108: Shopping Mall

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Huo Yao listened to these two brats arguing about how much they wanted to marry his daughter, and he smiled coldly.

He didn’t even know which corner these brats popped out of, how dare they fight for his daughter with him.

They are definitely daydreaming.

Ye Sang waved at them and blinked a few times innocently in confusion.

She saw that Ye Niannian and Su Ruirui all had mothers.

So did other children.

She pouted and mumbled to herself, “Sangsang has mommy too.”

When Huo Yao was watching the monitor, he had narrowed his eyes to her “Sangsang has mommy”.

Mother? 

Who is her mother? 

How was the little girl born? 

Without a doubt, everything about her is a mystery.

The paternity test couldn’t possibly be wrong but he indeed didn’t have any women. The first time they met, the little girl came into his office suddenly and he didn’t know how.

The little thing’s history was indeed strange.

“Who’s your mom?” The man held the child and didn’t choose to go back to the car, but leisurely headed towards the shopping mall. Huo Yao added on after a pause, “And all your random grandpas.”

The little thing used to say “my grandpas” all the time and he didn’t take it seriously.

He had thought that children’s words carried no meanings.

But now it’s different.

The little girl looked silly but she was much more mature than children of her age.

What she mumbled before weren’t necessarily useless things.

Ye Sang pouted unhappily when Huo Yao said that her grandpas were “random” people.

The little thing tilted her head to the side and replied in a milky voice, “Grandpas aren’t random…”

“They are number one!”

Huo Yao’s eyes twitched. “…”

Her damned number one is back. 

What the hell is up with number one? 

“Ah…” The man couldn’t sound more half-hearted, “Number one, number one.”

Huo Yao met the little thing’s angry eyes after a pause and decided to change his expressions and ask again, “So what do those bunch of number ones do?”

By the sound of it, the little thing didn’t only have one grandpa.

But the point was that he already felt that those people aren’t reliable from Ye Sang’s words.

A bunch of stinky old men calling themselves number one; how reliable could they be?

Ye Sang’s eyes curved into crescents and softly muttered, “Music, chess, literacy, painting, medicine, everything.”

After a pause, she added, “All number one.”

“…” What a bunch of weird stinky old men. 

He could never forget that the thing the little ball had said: my grandpas said, don’t behave like Huo Yao too much. 

It’s even memorable until now.

Ye Sang saw that he looked careless, and she immediately blinked and repeated crisply, “They are number one.”

She actually only had one grandpa.

But…

The friends of a number one are also number one.

That bunch all said they were her real grandpa.

After a while, she started to call them “grandpas” because there were too many of them.

Huo Yao flicked her forehead and smiled, “I didn’t mean to care where your grandpas are, but shouldn’t we go home now?”

The little thing asked in confusion, “Then why did daddy take me to the shopping mall?”

Huo Yao reached out and pulled her little bag, making Ye Sang widen her eyes in annoyance.

He casually warned, “Your Uncle Shen is coming tomorrow…”

“What will Sangsang think if I shut him outside the door?”

Ye Sang’s little expression froze.

What would she think? 

Of course she doesn’t think it’s a good idea! 

The little thing swallowed, “Bwut…”

After a pause, she looked up in exceptional earnesty, “I already agreed that uncle is coming over to play tomorrow.”

Huo Yao pressed down the hair that shot up from her emotions and he couldn’t help but tease her:

“I wasn’t the one who agreed to it. How does it have anything to do with me?”

Ye Sang pouted and glared at him.

Huo Yao was happy to see that she exploded. His mood lifted up and he strode towards the shopping mall with her in his arms.

Special Assistant Zhao followed after him bitterly, confused about what his boss was up to now.

He heard Huo Yao speak indifferently, “It’s the Lantern Festival tomorrow.”

Special Assistant Zhao replied, “Okay…” It has nothing to do with him.

Wouldn’t he have to work overtime if there’s work to do?

The man flicked the little girl’s forehead lightly and smiled lightly, “I won’t work overtime tomorrow, I’ll spend the festival with you.”

Speaking of which.

He didn’t remember how long it had been since he spent a day at the Huo family on a holiday.

He and Old Master Huo weren’t close and he spent all the holidays at work.

The little thing replied softly, “Okay.”

“Lantern festival, there’s tangyuan¹…” Ye Sang licked her lips and her eyes were eager.

Huo Yao ‘tsked‘ lightly and thought that she was too shallow.

…

The little thing imagined all the good food even as Huo Yao took her inside the shopping mall.

It was the biggest shopping mall in the city, the crystal chandeliers were dazzling to eyes, even the floor had glistening lights. A doll-like little girl skipped and stepped on the lights curiously.

“Daddy,” She looked up, “Hungry…”

Huo Yao glanced at her messy hair and felt his obsessive-compulsive disorder getting the best of him again.

He ignored other people’s curious looks and pulled her to him, fixing her slightly curly black hair.

The little thing blinked and swayed the strand of hair standing up on her head, whispering, “Daddy, they are all looking at me.”

Huo Yao moved her hair out of her face and looked up, seeing that a bunch of people were talking and pointing at the little thing.

“Woah, such a cute baby!”

“Is that her Dad? Oh, he’s so good looking. I wonder if this little baby needs a stepmom.”

“Ah, another one that wants to trick me into having a child.”

Those people mumbled on and Huo Yao frowned as he didn’t like the feeling of getting watched by so many people.

The man picked the child up expressionlessly and left.

He took her to the children’s section and sank into thoughts at the sight of her dirty pink dress.

His daughter looked good and she was cute in any clothes she wore.

It wasn’t that she didn’t have any clothes at home, but it would be different if he bought it himself.

“Sir, are you here to buy clothes with your child?” A shop assistant standing on the side smiled. Before she could say anything else, she saw the cute little girl who was glancing around her and she couldn’t look away.

“Woah..”

“S-So cute…” Her eyes lit up and she brought all the cute little dresses in the shop over in excitement, “Sir, your daughter is so pretty, you should dress her up!”

If a little girl who looked like a doll was dressed up, she would make their hearts melt.

Huo Yao looked at those dresses and saw the little thing was looking all around her in excitement, and he randomly picked up a set of red overalls.

“This then.” The man replied indifferently, pulling the little thing’s collar and dragging her back from running around.
