Chapter 167: Trying on

There were even times when Bi Ying thought that if it wasn’t for Huo Tian, the negative emotions in his heart might have completely crushed him. If that happened, who knows what kind of evil soul would have been released.

Huo Tian was the one who had pulled Bi Ying out of the endless darkness. It was very normal for a person who had been living in the darkness for a long time to like that ray of light.

However, even though Bi Ying understood his feelings for Huo Tian, he didn’t intend to tell her.

To Bi Ying, the price of failure was too high. Bi Ying couldn’t bear the consequences of Huo Tian distancing herself from him. It was better for him to maintain the current situation and stay by Huo Tian’s side as a friend. Even if Huo Tian were to be with other people in the future, Bi Ying would only quietly give them his blessings.

Xi Cheng could roughly understand what Bi Ying was thinking. He sighed helplessly and patted Bi Ying’s shoulder. “What a silly child…”

Xi Cheng could not help but think of his child again when he noticed the budding relationships between the children.

Although he did not know if the child was a boy or a girl, the thought of him having such adolescent troubles made Xi Cheng feel both sweet and troubled.

If the child was a boy, Xi Cheng thought that he could rely on his rich life experience to give his son advice and let him get the girl he liked.

However, if the child was a girl, Xi Cheng felt that he had a stronger urge to pick up a gun and shoot the brat that his daughter liked or who liked her!

To date, the subordinates Xi Cheng had sent out to search for had still not sent any news back about his wife and child. However, for Xi Cheng, just imagining the scenes of him getting along with his wife and child in the future was enough to make him feel happy.

On the other side, Huo Tian came to the waiting room and sat down naturally beside Si Huan.

She leaned over to look at the thing Si Huan was holding and realized that it was an especially thick book. The words on it were densely packed, and upon a closer look, she realized that they were all kinds of business cases.

Huo Tian frowned. “You actually brought such a thick book with you? Where did you hide it? Why didn’t I see it?”

“I didn’t bring this over. Mr. Xi lent it to me to look at.” Si Huan closed the book and showed Huo Tian the cover that didn’t have any design or layout. He said, “It’s a business record that Mr. Xi’s family had collected. It’s very precious and he allowed me to borrow it.”

Huo Tian leaned on the armrest between the two of them and said emotionally, “Uncle Xi is really a nice person. I feel like he’s raising you as his heir.”

Si Huan chuckled and patted Huo Tian’s furry head. Both of them had gotten used to this kind of intimate action and atmosphere.

“It’s not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. Mr. Xi treats me so well partly because he admires me, and partly because he might be paving the way for his child.”

Huo Tian put her palms together and made an incongruous praying gesture. “The thing Uncle Xi wants the most now is to find his wife and child. I hope his wish can be fulfilled soon.”

Si Huan sighed. “Uncle Xi has given it a lot of thought. He doesn’t know what his child is like yet. He doesn’t know if the child is outstanding or if he is interested in business. He did me a favor because he wants me to take care of that child more in the future. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, I know what he means.”

Huo Tian nodded. Although she was not very interested in the child who wasn’t located yet, she still thought to herself, (Parents really worry a lot for their children. I really hope that the child is doing well now. I hope Uncle Xi can reunite with his wife and child soon.)

After about over ten minutes, Bi Ying came to look for Huo Tian. He said that he had already helped Xi Cheng put on the robotic exoskeleton equipment.

Next, they needed to make adjustments to the entire equipment. Huo Tian and Si Huan entered the room together.

With the help of the two boys, Xi Cheng used some force and stood up shakily from the wheelchair.
