Huo Tian had no idea what had happened at home. She only realized belatedly that the three adults in the house seemed to be in a bad mood.

However, by the time Huo Tian realized it, things in the family had returned to normal.

Xi Cheng started to appear in the Ding Family’s small house again. Although Ding Rong’s attitude towards him was not as mushy as it was in the first two days, the atmosphere between the two of them still carried the special feeling that only people who loved each other would have.

On the other hand, Ding Chen, who had sworn confidently that he would never forgive Xi Cheng, only frowned unhappily every time he saw Xi Cheng and Ding Rong interacting. He no longer mocked them.

Huo Tian felt that this family atmosphere was quite good too. Her parents were no longer as mushy as before, having only each other in their eyes. Although they were still loving now, they would also divert most of their attention to the other two members of the family.

Her uncle and father didn’t have any conflicts either. Although the current Huo Tian could not become the center of Ding Rong and Ding Chen’s lives as she had in the past, she was satisfied with the addition of a father who loved her. The care and love she received was not much less than before.

Probably to make the entire family more united, the Ding Family had an additional rule now. During the weekends, the family of four had to sit together and have a good meal, sharing about their recent studies, work, and life.

This was a rule set by Ding Rong, who was at the top of the family’s food chain. The other three people had no right to refute it, and they were also happy to cooperate.

Although Xi Cheng was the head of an influential family, after controlling the family for so many years, he had long started to disseminate his authority.

If it wasn’t anything major, Xi Cheng usually let his subordinates make the call.

Compared to Xi Cheng, who was idle now, Ding Chen looked more like a qualified boss of a company. He spent almost every day in the company, either talking to people or going to the factory to inspect. In order to accommodate Ding Chen’s time, the family gathering this week was scheduled for Saturday night.

When sharing about their recent life, Huo Tian was always the one who received the most attention.

Facing the aggressive gazes of the three adults at home, Huo Tian shrugged helplessly. “I’m still the same in school. I either stay in the laboratory or occasionally take two classes in class as a break. I don’t usually play with others either. I’m always with Si Huan and Bi Ying. Don’t worry, no one dares to bully me, and I won’t bully others either.”

Ding Chen replied with an “oh”. “Isn’t this exactly the same as what you said last time?”

Huo Tian complained expressionlessly, “It’s because I’m just a student now. Life is so calm and boring. But when I said that it was the same as last week, you guys still asked me to explain it in detail. I don’t understand what’s there to say!”

The three adults looked away silently.

Xi Cheng coughed lightly and said, “We’re all concerned about you. We’re worried that you’d be cheated away by some brat in school.”

Huo Tian was even more speechless. “I’ve already said it before. When I’m in school, I don’t have much contact with other male students. Up till now, I’ve only played with Si Huan, Bi Ying, and Zhao Feng. What are you guys worried about?”

(That’s why it’s even more worrying!) The three adults shouted in their hearts.

All three of them felt that Si Huan was too sly! Until now, he hadn’t made things clear to Huo Tian.. Instead, he had made use of his status as a good friend to stay around Huo Tian, making parents like them have no reason to want to stop them from spending time together. They couldn’t restrict their child from making friends, right?
