385 Adjusting the Plan

Therefore, after realizing that Huo Tian and Huo Feng’s relationship was deeper than he had imagined, Xi Cheng could only redo his plan to what extent he should take revenge on the Huo Family. Most importantly, he could not accidentally injure Huo Tian’s younger brother in the process of implementing his plan, allowing outsiders to affect their father and daughter relationship.

Due to the changes in the factors he had to consider, Xi Cheng’s actions were inevitably a little overcautious. He made a few drafts in his heart before knocking on Huo Tian’s door.

Of course, they were all staying in the Hill Family’s manor today. The main building here was a Western medieval-style castle with a lot of rooms. Even Xi Cheng, who was the owner, had probably not finished exploring this manor. Therefore, tonight, the butler had arranged for their rooms to be very close to each other on the same floor.

It was precisely because of this that Xi Cheng knocked on his daughter’s door easily.

Huo Tian opened the door almost as soon as Xi Cheng knocked twice. Since his daughter was already old, Xi Cheng would usually not enter Huo Tian’s room at night. Therefore, Huo Tian felt a little puzzled when she saw Xi Cheng at the door.

She tilted her head and said to Xi Cheng with a smile, “Dad, shouldn’t you be with Mom at this time? Why would you waste your time coming to look for me?”

Huo Tian looked at Xi Cheng teasingly. Xi Cheng suddenly remembered that before the banquet ended, Huo Tian had barged into the scene of him and his wife making out at the lounge,

At that time, Ding Rong was so shy that her face was flushed red. Xi Cheng had been through a lot and did not feel anything. At this moment, Xi Cheng belatedly realized the awkwardness and shame parents feel when their child bumped into them in an intimate scene. This feeling could not be dissipated anytime soon, and as time passed, it would become even stronger.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, Xi Cheng was not like Ding Rong who would blush from shyness. On the contrary, Xi Cheng’s expression did not change at all. No one could tell that he was feeling uncomfortable.

Xi Cheng raised his hand and patted Huo Tian’s head, changing the topic without a trace. “I wanted to come and talk to you about the Huo Family. There’s no need for your mother to know about this. She’s kind and softhearted. If she knew about the things I wanted to do to the Huo Family, she would definitely throw a tantrum with me.”

“Oh~” Huo Tian dragged out her tone meaningfully and looked at Xi Cheng with a smile. She said mischievously, “So Dad is also afraid that Mom will nag at you. I really couldn’t tell that you’re a henpecked husband.”

He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He exerted more force and slapped the back of Huo Tian’s head, causing her to grimace in pain. She staggered and almost fell.

Huo Tian came back to her senses and complained to Xi Cheng with a pout, “Dad, why did you hit me?! I didn’t say anything wrong. You’re a man who is completely in Mom’s control! You won’t be able to escape from Mom’s grasp for the rest of your life!”

With that, Huo Tian sighed helplessly and shook her head hard. Her behavior was very exaggerated as if she was performing on the stage. This made Xi Cheng feel very helpless and he did not know how to face his daughter’s antics.

Xi Cheng could only say, while caught between laughter and tears, “Your mother isn’t the Tathgata Buddha, and your father isn’t Sun Wukong either. Why would I need to get out of her grasp? Moreover, if your mother really has the ability to bring down the Five Elements Mountain, I’d rather she be able to lock me and her together at all times. That way, no matter what happens in the future, we can’t be separated.”

Huo Tian had wanted to tease her father and mother about their sticky relationship. However, unexpectedly, not only did she not force Xi Cheng to react shyly, but she also let Xi Cheng show off his love to her and even let her, someone without a partner, enjoy a full meal of dog food. Huo Tian deeply felt that there was no justice in this world!

Huo Tian could not help but show some frustration and unwillingness when she failed to achieve her goal of teasing Xi Cheng. She glared at Xi Cheng angrily.

Of course, Xi Cheng did not understand the twists and turns in the little girl’s heart. He only felt that no matter how cute a child was, they were still difficult to deal with when they were being cheeky.

1. In the story Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was trapped by the Tathgata Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain.
2. Singles are referred to as solo dogs, and when other couples behave intimately before them, the analogy of them being fed dog food is used.
