"Did your father bully you? Is that why you don't want us to acknowledge him?"
"..."
Song Xingwan remained silent, increasingly at a loss for how to explain.
Huo Yunting was thrilled to see Song Xingwan, whom he hadn't seen for three years, appear before him again. He quickly stepped forward and blocked her path, "Wanwan, it's been so long. How have you been?"
"fine."
Song Xingwan calmly pushed the two little ones who were clinging to her legs behind her and replied somewhat stiffly.
"Wanwan, where is the lining of the wedding dress? I've been looking for it for ages and can't find it." Shi Huan, dressed as a bridesmaid, rushed out in a panic, pulling Song Xingwan back to Ling Mo's room as she spoke.
Huo Yunting glanced at Song Xingwan's back, then looked down at the two little ones who were looking at him curiously, and for the first time ever, he smiled gently at them.
"Hmph! Bad guy."
Guoguo didn't appreciate Huo Yunting's attempt to be friendly. She raised her little fist and punched Huo Yunting, who was squatting in front of her, in the face.
"Brother, Mom said we shouldn't hit people."
Duoduo hurriedly grabbed Guoguo's arm, her little voice choked with sobs due to her nervousness.
“He bullied Mom, he’s a bad person!” Guoguo said with a stern face, her expression particularly serious.
"But..."
Duoduo blinked her big, bright eyes, like black grapes, and stared at Huo Yunting for a long while.
She always felt that this uncle looked a lot like her brother...
"Don't be afraid, Uncle is not a bad person."
Huo Yunting gently grasped Guoguo's little fist, then hugged Duoduo in his arms, patiently coaxing them.
"Uncle, you're our dad, right? You and my brother look so alike."
Duoduo raised her bright eyes and stared at Huo Yunting without stopping.
She dreams of having a wonderful dad, just like other children, who can lift her up high, take her to ride bumper cars, and build blocks with her.
Huo Yunting was overwhelmed with emotion, never expecting his daughter to be so perceptive. He finally nodded and continued speaking in the same tone as Song Xingwan:
"Dad has been too busy with work and hasn't had time to visit you before. I'm sorry."
"Are you really our father?"
Duoduo, with an innocent and excited expression, hugged Huo Yunting's neck and kissed his cheeks like a chick pecking at rice. "Daddy, I miss you so much. I always dream about you."
Guoguo looked at her younger sister speechlessly, her chubby little face serious, and said:
“Little sister, have you forgotten what Mom told us? He’s not Dad.”
Duoduo made a shushing gesture, then turned her head and gently patted Huo Yunting's head, comforting him in her childish voice: "Daddy, brother doesn't acknowledge you because he misses you so much and is afraid of losing you. Don't be sad."
"It's Dad who's sorry."
Seeing how considerate his daughter was, and seeing the tears welling up in his son's eyes, Huo Yunting's heart almost broke.
Just then, Song Xingwan, carrying two small flower baskets, waved to the two children, signaling them to follow behind Ling Mo.
Because of the tight schedule, she had no time to pay attention to Huo Yunting, and didn't even give him a glance.
Huo Yunting followed behind Song Xingwan somewhat helplessly, even blending into the bridesmaids' group without realizing it.
It wasn't until Lu Jinjiu and Gu Nanfeng practically dragged him out that he slowly came back to his senses.
...
At the wedding ceremony.
It was Qin Beiming's turn to read his wedding vows, but he was so excited and nervous that he completely forgot what he had prepared.
Seeing this, Old Madam Qin, sitting in the audience, paced anxiously in circles:
"That little brat, he recited the oath all night, and he still forgot it? I remember it perfectly, but he couldn't utter a single word. What's wrong with your Qin family?"
"How did this get dragged into my head?" Qin Baye chuckled.
I still remember when he got married, he seemed just as nervous as Qin Beiming.
The reason for the tension is simply because one cares too much.
Meanwhile, Zhan Hanjue, who was standing to the side, was already sobbing uncontrollably in Shi Ying's arms.
He truly couldn't bear to see Ling Mo get married.
He wouldn't have agreed to their marriage so easily if Shi Ying hadn't been the first to do so.
"Luo Lin, so many people are watching."
Shi Ying looked helplessly at Zhan Hanjue, who was wiping away tears. In his smiling eyes, he seemed to have returned to the way he was more than 20 years ago.
On stage, Qin Beiming couldn't recall his oath, so he decided to make up for it with his actions.
Amidst the continuous cheers and blessings from the crowd, he slowly strode forward and solemnly inquired of Ling Mo:
"Can I kiss you now?"
Ling Mo smiled and nodded, his dimples like brimming with mellow wine, a sight that seemed to last a lifetime.
In the corner, Fu Yunque watched the two people on the stage passionately kissing, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
After waiting for so many years, I still couldn't wait for her.
Fortunately, she is very happy now.
That night.
Exhausted, Song Xingwan led the two little ones back to the detached villa she had just bought. Just as she was about to close the door, a large hand suddenly got stuck in the doorway.
"Wanwan, shall we have a talk?"
Huo Yunting didn't dare hesitate for a moment and immediately played the video that Jiang Yao had personally recorded on his phone.
In the video, Jiang Yao recounted her past dealings with Huo's mother and explained that the Song family's bankruptcy had nothing to do with the Huo family; it was purely Ouyang Bin's doing. Huo's mother claimed the Song family's bankruptcy was Huo's doing mainly to sever all ties between Song Xingwan and Huo Yunting.
