Chapter 203 Being a Father



Huo Yan withdrew his hand awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Mother Sun took off Yuan Zhizhi's pants and took out the silk diaper inside. Immediately, a foul smell spread and filled the entire room.

"Oh my goodness..."

Huo Yan immediately opened the window and turned around to see Mother Sun holding Yuan Zhizhi's pants.

"I'm asking, how do you fathers do this? Don't you notice that your children are like this?"

Huo Yan pursed his lips, walked forward and took the wet pants.

It really is...

He had been keeping Yuan Zhizhi covered up and didn't even notice.

I glanced at Zhizhi and saw that she was still lying on the bed playing with her little feet as if nothing had happened.

Huo Yan guessed that she herself might not know, or she didn't tell him because she was afraid of delaying her trip.

But no matter what, he still didn't take good care of Zhizhi.

"It must be so uncomfortable for the child to be wrapped like this!"

"We need to get her some water to wash her, otherwise she won't be able to wear new pants."

Mother Sun cleaned up Zhizhi swiftly, and Huo Yan immediately went downstairs to find the waiter, who brought up a bucket of water from the kitchen.

Yuan Zhizhi was stripped naked by Sun's mother and put into the bucket. Sun's mother asked again,

"Miss, do you have any towels to wipe yourself?"

Huo Yan stood outside the screen and thought for a moment. He realized that there was something on the paper Gan Tang had written. He replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes..."

Then he rummaged through the package and handed it in.

Mother Sun washed Yuan Zhizhi clean, and when she brought her out, Huo Yan had already found some clothes and put them on the bed.

Mother Sun picked it up, took a look at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yan was a little confused.

Mother Sun saw the open package next to her and started looking for it herself.

Then, she found some clothes again, laid them out one by one, and explained them to Huo Yan one by one.

"It's almost evening now. If you want to go to bed after washing, you should wear soft underwear."

"Put these on one by one tomorrow morning. If it's cold, add more in between."

Huo Yan stood aside with his head down, while Mother Sun chattered on and on, telling him a lot about taking care of the child.

He listened carefully and asked a lot of questions, and only then did Mother Sun calm down.

She glanced at Huo Yan and said earnestly, "Sir, don't blame me for being too talkative. Although I don't know where the child's mother is, raising a child is the couple's responsibility."

"Since you are the child's father, you can't be ignorant of everything. If you do that, the child's mother will suffer..."

Huo Yan stood there, how could he still have the demeanor of a great general?

Only then did he realize that he had been reckless, thinking that by bringing them here he was only responsible for their safety.

But I didn't expect that raising a child would be such an easy thing.

Mother Sun fed Zhizhi again, and Huo Yan asked her a lot of questions about what she should pay attention to.

Mother Sun didn't leave until very late.

Huo Yan didn't even have dinner. He washed Zhizhi's dirty pants and diapers, and hung them out the window hoping they would be dry by the time he left the next morning.

Yuan Zhizhi was finally full and fell into a deep sleep under the quilt.

After Huo Yan finished packing these things, he came to the bed, put her little hand that was exposed outside into the quilt, and tucked in the corners.

He looked at her pink and tender sleeping face, and his heart softened.

"Xiao Zhizhi, I'm sorry..." He couldn't help but murmur, "It's Huo... Daddy didn't take good care of you..."

Huo Yan used a quilt to create a "line of defense" for the little man on the bed, then stood up and walked to the other two rooms.

He knocked on the door and heard Yuan Nan'an's voice from inside, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Huo." Huo Yan replied.

The door opened from the inside, and it was Yuan Xuan who opened it.

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the sky outside through the window.

"Why are you still here?"

Yuan Xuan didn't know why Huo Yan's tone suddenly became serious, and he stuttered for a moment, "I... I just went out with Nan Nan to look for Xiaoyu, and just came back..."

Huo Yan nodded and walked in.

Yuan Nanan was sitting at the table, studying the map in his hand.

"Did you get any news about Xiaoyu after going out to look for her?" Huo Yan asked as he sat down.

Yuan Nan'an shook his head. "If Xiaoyu showed up with Xiaobai, people would probably remember her. But we asked around, and no one saw the child with Xiaobaihu."

After saying that, some worry appeared on her face.

Yuan Qi Yu had been lost before, and that incident left a shadow in his heart.

What if I meet some bad guys again when I go out this time?

Thinking of this, Yuan Nanan was angry and anxious. His mother was also missing. What should he do now?

Huo Yan sat beside her with a calm expression, but he still patted Yuan Nanan's head and comforted her.

"Xiaoyu is different now. He is very smart and won't get into trouble easily."

"Besides us, your uncle's people are also looking for him. There will definitely be news."

Hearing Huo Yan say this, Yuan Nan'an calmed down a little, looked up and asked him, "Uncle Huo, is there anything else?"

Huo Yan took out a box of ointment from his arms and handed it to her, "This is for abrasions."

Yuan Nan'an's eyes lit up and he took it, "Thank you, Uncle Huo!"

Although she often rode horses, this was the first time she had ridden for such a long time. It was inevitable that some of her body was scratched. She was worried that she had not found a pharmacy when she first went out.

Uncle Huo still has experience!

When Yuan Xuan heard this, he stood up and walked towards Yuan Nan'an.

"Nannan, are you injured? Do you want me to apply medicine for you?"

Hearing this, Yuan Nan'an waved his hands repeatedly, "No need!"

"I can do it myself!"

Yuan Xuan wanted to insist, but Huo Yan stood up and said to him, "Come out with me. Nan Nan needs to rest."

Yuan Xuan dared not disobey Huo Yan's words.

Sometimes, he felt that Uncle Huo's aura was even more terrifying than that of his father.

He asked Yuan Nan'an to go to bed early, and then followed Huo Yan out the door.

Huo Yan took him to his door. When he was about to enter, Huo Yan spoke behind him.

"Xuan'er."

Yuan Xuan was pushing the door open when he paused and turned to look at Huo Yan.

"Uncle Huo, is there anything else?"

Huo Yan stared at him with a strange look, then glanced at Yuan Nanan's room next to him.

Yuan Xuan was frightened by his gaze and couldn't help but ask again, "Uncle Huo, what's wrong?"

Huo Yan coughed lightly and came back to his senses. "There's something I need to explain to you alone."

Yuan Xuan's heart was lifted up at this moment.

He didn't do anything today, did he?

"Uncle Huo...you said..."

"We've been on a long journey, and there have been many inconveniences. You have to take care of your sister..."

Yuan Xuan raised an eyebrow. Isn't this what he was doing? Did Uncle Huo think he was doing something wrong?

But Huo Yan stared at him, then changed the subject and said in a serious tone, "But you are not young anymore, you should keep your distance from your sister."

Yuan Xuan was silent.

Huo Yan knew that he understood the meaning of his words, so he patted his shoulder and said earnestly,

"Girls are not as careless as men. You are older and know more... If you really want to be good to Nan Nan, you have to be more careful about the limits."
