Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future Novel - Chapter 213

Chapter 213: I’m Back

Although they hadn’t officially reunited, the helpless Huo Tian had already subconsciously used a pleading tone to Xi Cheng to get his help. However, she hadn’t realized that her attitude had changed.

“What should I do? I didn’t mean to make Mom cry.”

Xi Cheng was like every father who was happy to help their child solve their problems. He said without hesitation, “Stay by your mother’s side first. I’ll be right over.”

Huo Tian returned to the house and carefully sat beside Ding Rong. She hated herself for being so clumsy with her words. Her mother was so sad right now, but she could not even think of a word of comfort to say.

She looked frustrated and regretful. She held Ding Rong’s slightly trembling hand and felt extremely guilty. “I’m sorry, Mom.”

Even at such a moment, Ding Rong still placed Huo Tian’s emotions before her.

She wiped the tears off her face and held Huo Tian’s hand instead. She shook her head and said, “This isn’t your fault. You don’t have to apologize.”

Huo Tian said, “But I made Mom cry.”

Ding Rong forced a smile. “I should have been stronger.”

Huo Tian said seriously, “I was also shocked when I first heard this news. Moreover, there’s no rule to say that mothers must be strong.”

Seeing her mother’s emotions gradually calming down, Huo Tian heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ding Rong thought that it was a customer, so she quickly tidied her messy hair and stood up to open the door. However, Huo Tian felt that the person who had come was definitely Xi Cheng. Although it had only been a few minutes since they had finished their call, Huo Tian’s intuition told her that it was him.

Huo Tian quickly opened the door before Ding Rong did. Xi Cheng was indeed standing outside. He was tall and had a straight back, his handsome face remained calm. Although he had tried his best to hide it, Huo Tian could still see the nervousness that was hidden under his calm expression.

Huo Tian subconsciously turned around to look at Ding Rong. Ding Rong had already tidied herself as quickly as possible. If it wasn’t someone extremely familiar with Ding Rong or being innately good at observation, it would be impossible to tell that she had just cried.

Ding Rong’s voice was a little hoarse. She asked, “Tiantian, is it a customer?”

Xi Cheng stiffened up even more when he heard Ding Rong’s voice from outside.

Seeing that Ding Rong was about to reach the door, Huo Tian whispered, “Mom, it’s not a customer.”

Ding Rong revealed an obvious puzzled expression. Huo Tian turned around and showed her the man outside the door.

Xi Cheng looked at Ding Rong, the woman who made him feel so familiar yet so unfamiliar. His heart seemed to have forgotten how to beat too.

Till now, Xi Cheng had yet to recover his memories. Other than those illusory dreams, he only recalled some shattered fragments.

He remembered that the young girl had walked out of the dark and narrow alley and stood in front of him, who was equally young. When she pursed her lips and smiled, even the warm sunlight would willingly give her a warm filter.

As for the current Ding Rong, although her looks and figure hadn’t changed too much from the girl in Xi Cheng’s memories, she no longer had the breathtaking innocence from back then. Time hadn’t invaded her looks, but it had polished her disposition. She was gentle and firm like a flower growing in the wild. Although she had been through storms, she was still blooming brightly.

Sour feelings seethed in Xi Cheng’s chest, but he did not seem to notice it. It was only after opening his mouth a few times without making a sound that he realized that he was not as calm as he looked.

Tears welled up in his eyes too. The man who had made up his mind not to be weak anymore after his mother passed away could not suppress his tears now.

Xi Cheng used all his strength and finally said, “Rongrong, I’m back..”
