Huo Qin's deep voice sounded behind them.

"The badge has been put away and is being kept by me."

Chaochao immediately turned around.

The man stood by the door, casually raising his fingertips to fasten his cufflinks, revealing a fleeting glimpse of white on his exposed wrist.

Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to hug his leg affectionately.

"Daddy, where did you find it?"

Huo Qin glanced down at her, his gaze as calm and deep as a still pool.

"Found it on the road."

Finally, he glossed over the matter with a casual tone.

It seems that the person whose corruption level spiked and nearly reached its limit of 0.001% when the badge was discovered was not him.

The system, which almost had its base raided, responded with: "..."

Family leaders, who knew that a single badge would nearly destroy the world!

Huo Qin's words made Chaochao even happier. She hugged her leg and shook her head, "Hehe... I dropped something and Daddy found it. We are so destined to meet!"

Sure enough, he was born to be her dad!

Meanwhile, Chaochao also harbored another secret thought, attempting to get through the ordeal as quickly as possible.

Did the doctor not tell Daddy?

Okay, that's it. Shh, don't mention it to anyone, and whatever you do, don't let Daddy remember... Shh—

Recalling the somber scene, Jiang Chi, who was feeling a bit emo, held back for three seconds before finally surrendering and covering his face with his hand, whispering, "It's over, I really messed up."

As Chaochao spoke, she reached out to take Huo Qin's hand.

But the hand that was right in front of him suddenly lifted slightly, and he dodged it.

Chaochao stared at her empty hand, deep in thought: "?"

Daddy, have you run out of love so quickly?

The next second, her vision blurred, her armpits tightened, and Huo Qin pulled her into his arms.

Chaochao sat in the strong, firm arms, leaning against the shoulder she knew so well, but her emo-like little face was filled with resentment:

"Daddy, why won't you let me hold your hand..."

A soft, almost imperceptible sigh fell into Chaochao's ears.

"Because I want to hold you."

Huo Qin softened his sharp gaze, his tone unusually tinged with a sense of resignation.

Chaochao: "..."

Behind them, Jiang Chi could see everything clearly: "..."

Haha, you two are secretly pleased with yourselves.
