Chapter 286: Convincing Dad

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At Huo Tian’s request, Si Huan smiled and said, “Okay, then I’ll be blunt about my feelings. Actually, I’m looking forward to being your dance partner and doing the opening dance with you at your birthday banquet. I hope you can satisfy my expectations. Is that okay?”

Such a mature and reliable boy would also say such things in a spoiled tone?

At that time, Huo Tian only felt her ears burning. Before she could give Si Huan a reply, she hung up the call for some reason.

Even now, when she brought this matter up to Xi Cheng, Huo Tian’s face was still uncontrollably red.

Xi Cheng looked at Huo Tian, who was unconsciously looking shy, and he felt sourness and bitterness in his heart.

Why was this happening? He had clearly been on high alert, but that brat Si Huan still managed to find an opening? This father was truly furious!

Xi Cheng took a deep breath and controlled his emotions, not letting himself show his bad temper to Huo Tian.

A forced smile appeared on Xi Cheng’s lips and his voice was squeezed out through gritted teeth. “Tiantian, even if you don’t pair well with your uncle, you can let me be your dance partner. There’s no need to trouble others, right?”

“But Si Huan isn’t considered other people,” Huo Tian rebutted subconsciously. Then, she saw Xi Cheng’s darkened expression and immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly tried to make up for it.

“Dad, what I mean is that Si Huan is my good friend and has helped me many times in the past. Moreover, he didn’t invite anyone else to be his dance partner, so this matter won’t cause him any trouble. Why can’t I let him be my dance partner?”

(Because that brat not only wants to be your friend, but he also wants to be your boyfriend!)

Xi Cheng shouted angrily in his heart, but he still maintained his composure on the surface. In order to show that he was a good-tempered father, he even revealed a friendly smile. “Why don’t you let Dad be your dance partner? Dad just found you and Mom back and wants to personally hold your hand and show up at the banquet. Can’t Tiantian satisfy Dad’s wish?”

Huo Tian looked at Xi Cheng in disbelief. There was Si Huan and now there was her father. What was wrong with these men? Why were they suddenly so good at acting spoiled?

She frowned and looked very troubled. She thought for a long while before saying, “Before the opening dance, Dad wanted to introduce Mom and me to all the guests. Wouldn’t you be the one to hold my hand when we make our appearance?”

Xi Cheng had nothing to rebut to this and revealed a choked expression.

Huo Tian did not sense Xi Cheng’s complicated emotions at all and continued, “Moreover, I’m related to Dad by blood and am your only daughter. Other people won’t dare to look down on me, but those people won’t be polite to Mom. What if Dad doesn’t stay by Mom’s side and Mom gets bullied?”

Xi Cheng had nothing to say because Huo Tian’s concerns were very realistic. Ding Rong did not have a family background that could match the Hill Family. Even if the Ding Family now had a new technology company and was different from before, in the eyes of the Hill Family’s members, she was not worthy of Xi Cheng, who was the head of the Hill Family.

Xi Cheng did not care about materialistic things at all, but he admitted that if Ding Rong did not establish her prestige at the banquet, she might suffer when she interacted with the madams from those families in the future. This was not a scene that Xi Cheng was willing to see.

After thinking about it, Xi Cheng didn’t have any other reason to convince Huo Tian otherwise.. He could only say reluctantly, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I can’t say anything else. Let that brat Si Huan be your dance partner, but I have to talk to him first!”
