Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future - Chapter 388
388 Childish Husband
How could Xi Cheng reject his daughter’s warm and cute request? He smiled and nodded, bending over slightly and planting a kiss on Huo Tian’s forehead. He then said again, “Goodnight, my baby.”
Huo Tian was extremely happy to receive a goodnight kiss from her father. She only felt that her heart was filled with warm emotions.
She smiled carefreely and said softly, “Goodnight, Dad.”
By the time Xi Cheng returned to the manor’s master bedroom, Ding Rong had already finished washing up. She was wearing the same furry sleeping robe as Huo Tian and was leaning against the headboard while flipping through a drawing book that summarized types of sewing techniques. When she heard Xi Cheng’s footsteps, she looked up at the door and realized that the current Xi Cheng was like a young boy. His footsteps were so brisk that he almost jumped up. He even had a wide smile on his face and looked inexplicably a little foolish.
Xi Cheng was extremely agitated and his movements were no longer as calm as before. He went to Ding Rong’s side, bent over, and gave her a heavy kiss on the side of her face. Then, he sat by the bed and reached out to pull Ding Rong into his arms.
The side of Ding Rong’s face hurt a little from the kiss and she felt a little uncomfortable being pulled into his embrace when he didn’t restrain his strength. However, seeing how happy Xi Cheng was, Ding Rong did not want to spoil his mood and let him hug her for a long while.
Ding Rong reached out her arm and placed her soft hand on the back of Xi Cheng’s neck, rubbing it gently as if she was rubbing a big dog who was acting spoiled to its owner.
When Xi Cheng’s emotions gradually calmed down, Ding Rong smiled and asked, “What did Tiantian do to make you so happy?”
Xi Cheng smiled very happily and there was even a hint of smugness in his tone. “Tiantian asked me for a goodnight kiss just now. She said that she likes me as her father very much.”
Ding Rong rolled her eyes secretly and said with a smile, “You’re really a foolish father. Your daughter only said a few good words, but you’re already so happy. Where’s your dignity as the Hill Family’s head?”
Xi Cheng squeezed Ding Rong further inside of the big bed and also nestled on the bed. He rested his head on Ding Rong’s shoulder and let himself reveal his weak side.
He said softly, “What Tiantian said just now was right. There’s no need for me to maintain an invincible side in front of you guys. You don’t need to be constantly protected by me. What I need isn’t your reliance either. We just need to be by each other’s side.”
Ding Rong did not say anything and only smiled as she gently caressed the man’s face. They leaned on each other and enjoyed the short moment of warmth and peace.
At first, Ding Rong had not spent enough time with Huo Tian and was not sure if this kind of intimate behavior would disgust Huo Tian.
The reason Ding Rong had developed the habit of having a goodnight kiss was partly because she wanted to be closer to Huo Tian. On the other hand, she realized that Huo Tian wasn’t a child with strong self-control. It wasn’t that she was like most children her age who were addicted to playing. On the contrary, she didn’t like the popular entertainment activities among teenagers and only liked the research she was interested in. She often forgot to eat and sleep because of this. When she first returned to the Ding Family, Huo Tian would often even forget to sleep all night.
In order to correct Huo Tian’s messy work and rest habits, Ding Rong insisted on reminding Huo Tian to sleep every night. After she washed up and lay in bed, she would give Huo Tian a goodnight kiss and use this method to develop a normal work and rest habit for her.
Xi Cheng and Ding Rong leaned against each other and stayed quiet for a while. Ding Rong saw that it was about time, so she pushed her husband’s head away and said, “I’ll go check on Tiantian. You should go wash up too. Let’s go to sleep after I’m back.”
Usually, Xi Cheng would say a few hooligan words to his wife every chance he had, but today, he was filled with love from his daughter. This pure and beautiful emotion filled Xi Cheng’s heart and he could not have any dirty thoughts.
He planted a soft kiss on Ding Rong’s face gently. “Alright, go ahead.”
Ding Rong also planted a soft kiss on his face before getting up to leave the bedroom. Her mind kept replaying Xi Cheng’s series of reactions. Actually, this slightly childish Xi Cheng was the lover and husband she was familiar with 20 years ago. After they reunited, Ding Rong thought that she would never be able to see Xi Cheng like this again.
