C16 (1/2)

It was raining, and he went home early.

The nanny came over and carefully asked, ”Mr. Huo, how is Miss?”

The man only slightly raised his chin and said in a deep voice, ”Clean up Ye Jinxin's house and transform it into a study.”

The nurse's face hurt and she couldn't help but sigh. She turned around to wipe away her tears, vaguely understanding that something had happened to the child.

Ye Jinxin had been at the Huo Residence for nearly half a year. These days, she had long fallen in love with this cute and innocent girl.

She didn't dare to ask more about that child. The Wealthy Class family had many secrets, and as a servant, she couldn't and shouldn't inquire too much about them.

Aunt Liu was a bit depressed. She then went upstairs to clean up Ye Jinxin's room according to Huo Tindong's instructions.

Life always has to be lived, no one will be disrupted by the loss of a child.

The rain had a tendency to get heavier and heavier. Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, and bean-sized drops of rain hit the huge French windows, making loud popping sounds. The chaotic sounds, combined with the gloomy weather, made people feel flustered for no reason.

The man seemed to be frozen in place. He just stood by the window, staring out at a point in the void.

A gust of cold wind blew past and lifted the muslin curtain covering the French window. Huo Ting's listless eyes suddenly flashed, and when he saw the gradually clear black dot, the muscles on his back suddenly tensed and he immediately rushed out.

Many years later, Huo Tindong would never be able to forget the scene of Ye Jinxin walking towards him in the heavy rain.

The child's eyes shone with panic and fear like a little drowned chicken. Her dark eyes stared at him without even moving, and her wet hair stuck to her pale little face, making her look like a sapling about to be blown away by the wind.

Huo Tindong half-bent down in disbelief. He spread his hands and said in a deep voice, ”Jin Xin, come here.”

Ye Jin's long and dense eyelashes trembled, but he didn't seem to hear what Huo Tindong was saying. He just stood there in the rain, looking weak and pitiful.

Huo Tindong's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this child must have been greatly agitated. He furrowed his brows and said, ”Jinxin be good. You're safe now. Come to uncle.”

Hearing the word 'safe', Ye Jinxin seemed to regain his senses. His dull eyes twitched a few times, followed by a wail, as he ran into Huo Tindong's arms while trembling.
