Yuejiang Community is on the outskirts of Kyoto City, about forty minutes away from where he lives. However, it was already late at night, and in less than half an hour, Xiao Yihe's car had parked downstairs in the building where Huo Lan lived.

In the entire community, only a few windows were lit sporadically. At this time, almost everyone was asleep, and the apartment where Huo Lan lived was completely dark.

Xiao Yihe sat in the car, opened the sunroof, and let the biting cold wind hit him. At this moment, he needed to calm down. He just wanted to ask this woman why, why did she do this to him.

Xiao Yihe did not go upstairs directly. He knew that Mrs. Huo was not in good health. He could have come over early tomorrow morning, but he just wanted to wait here, maybe he was thinking about something.

The expectations he was full of yesterday had evaporated more than an hour ago. Now, he just wants the truth.

This night seemed to be longer than before. Xiao Yihe sat in the car like this with the sunroof open all night, but he did not feel cold because compared to the coldness of his body, his heart had already been injured and lost its temperature.

Seeing the white belly on the horizon, seeing the blurry high-rise buildings clearly appearing in front of his eyes, seeing the quiet community gradually becoming noisy, Xiao Yihe finally opened the car door, but he himself didn't notice the expression on his face

very ugly.

When he walked into the elevator, it was clear that there were only six floors and it would only take a few seconds to reach him. However, Xiao Yihe felt that the elevator seemed to be stagnant. But when the elevator door opened, he hesitated again. He was afraid of facing such a truth.

But after all, he walked out. Looking at the eye-catching house number, Xiao Yihe felt as if his hands were tied. He didn't dare to ring the doorbell.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a soft voice came from inside.

"Grandma, Mommy likes shrimp dumplings. We will buy some more for her later."

"Hey, who are you?"

Xiaogua and Mrs. Huo slept together last night, so they got up very early in the morning. The old man and the young man planned to go to the breakfast shop outside the community to have something to eat, and they also brought some food to Huo Lan. As soon as they opened the door, they saw the door

There was a strange man standing, and Xiaogua looked over with his head raised.

Mrs. Huo was also stunned, but in the next second she carefully pulled Xiao Gua behind her, then looked at Xiao Yihe warily and asked.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

At this time, Xiao Yihe was completely confused. When he saw Xiao Gua, all the anger and chill in his heart immediately turned into strong shock and surprise, because the child in front of him was so similar to him when he was a child. How dare he

Sure, this child is his.

Mrs. Huo saw Xiao Yihe standing blankly at the door, silent and with a strange look on her face, especially the eyes that were staring at Xiao Gua. She didn't frown. She had already touched the doorknob with one hand and pulled Xiao Gua towards the door.

He stepped back and said nervously.

"Get out of here quickly or I'll call the police."

While he was talking, Xiao Yihe saw the door that had just been opened pushed open by Mrs. Huo. He reached out to block the door almost without thinking, for fear that Mrs. Huo would close the door.

"Sorry, Mrs. Huo, my name is Xiao Yihe. I am Xiaolan's friend. I have something very important that I need to see Xiaolan."

Xiao Yihe wanted to directly talk about his relationship with Huo Lan, but thinking about Mrs. Huo's situation, so as not to irritate her, he could only introduce himself as a friend.

After hearing Xiao Yihe's introduction, Mrs. Huo still looked wary, because Xiao Yihe's words and actions just now were so abnormal, especially his eyes, which seemed to have never left Xiao Gua's body.

Mrs. Huo had no intention of letting Xiao Yihe in. She still blocked the door and said vigilantly.

"Mr. Xiao, right? I haven't heard my daughter mention you. She is still resting. If possible, Mr. Xiao should contact her by phone. It is not convenient for us to entertain you now."

With that said, Mrs. Huo planned to close the door.

At this moment, Xiao Gua suddenly said a word, which stunned the two adults present.

"Daddy? Are you daddy?"

Mrs. Huo's heart tightened, and she looked at the man in front of her with a solemn expression. Then, a complicated light flashed in her eyes.

Although Xiao Gua is only three years old, but now that she looks closely, she is indeed very similar to the man in front of her, especially those auspicious eyes, which are exactly the same.

Xiao Yihe was also surprised. If there was still a trace of doubt just now, because the birth date did not match up, but now when he heard the child's words, he was very sure that this was his child, the child of him and Huo Lan.

Xiao Yihe couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. He was no longer stunned as before, and his eyes looking at Xiao Gua also had a touch of tenderness.

He suddenly squatted down and looked earnestly at Xiao Gua, who was hiding behind Mrs. Huo with her head hanging out. He wanted to reach out, but was afraid of scaring the child, so he could only lower his voice and speak.

"you know me?"

Xiaogua tilted her head and nodded, then whispered something.

"I saw your photo in mommy's drawer. Are you my daddy?"

Faced with Xiao Gua's question, Xiao Yihe suddenly felt as if his throat was blocked by something. He wanted to say yes, but he felt that he had no words to assume the role of father. If it hadn't been for Gu Qiyang to go to the United States this time, he would not have known that he was

There is also a child.

At this time, Mrs. Huo had roughly guessed what was going on. Thinking of the hardships her daughter had endured over the years, she was even more repelled by Xiao Yihe than before. She still had no intention of letting him in, but her tone became even colder.

"I don't care who you are, my daughter is still resting now, you should please come back."

How could Xiao Yihe leave at this time? If he wanted to question Huo Lan at first about why he had done something wrong to him, now, in addition to feeling deep self-blame, he was also filled with the desire to make up for the mother and daughter.

Looking at Mrs. Huo with an unkind expression, Xiao Yihe did not force his way into the apartment. Instead, he bowed to Mrs. Huo with guilt. It was a sign of repentance and respect from a younger generation to an elder. Then, Xiao Yihe spoke.

"Mrs. Huo, I'm sorry for making Huo Lan suffer all these years. I don't have to go in. I can wait here. I want to see her."

Needless to say, you knew who she was. When Mrs. Huo heard this, her face darkened slightly. Just when she was about to say, "It's up to you," she saw Xiao Gua walking out from behind her, and then came to Xiao Yihe.

Only then did Xiao Gua realize that her father was so tall. Because he was born prematurely, his height was not an advantage among children of the same age. At this time, he had just reached Xiao Yihe's thigh.

Xiao Gua's mouth was slightly open, probably because he was shocked by his height. Then he stretched out his soft little hand, gently tugged on Xiao Yihe's pants, and said in a soft and cute voice.

"Daddy, are you here to pick up Mommy and me?"

Xiao Yihe lowered his head and looked at Xiaogua, who was looking up at him with some difficulty. He simply squatted down again, and then looked at the young face in front of him, which was a miniature version of his own. His heart softened and he nodded tentatively.

asked.

"Can I hug you?"

Xiao Yihe never thought that he would see a smaller version of himself, especially when this was his and Huo Lan's child. As soon as he saw this soft and cute little boy in front of him, who was very similar to himself, he suddenly felt like he was back.

Four years ago.

He looked expectantly at the child in front of him, which was his own flesh and blood. He really wanted to hold this child in his arms immediately, but he was afraid of scaring him. This was probably because he was worried about gain and loss.

Xiao Gua suddenly felt a sore nose. It turned out that what mommy said was true. Daddy loved them, not that he didn't want him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Gua couldn't help but let out a cry, and fell directly into Xiao Yihe's arms, crying so pitifully that she was still mumbling these words.

"Daddy, Xiaogua thinks you don't want mommy and me. Daddy, I miss you so much... wu wu wu..."

As he spoke, he burst into tears again.

Xiao Yihe had never seen such a scene before. Not many of the people he was familiar with, let alone children, were in love with each other. He had no experience in taking care of children, especially the one who was crying now was his own son. He was immediately in a hurry and wanted to

Wiping Xiaogua's tears, but fearing that she might hurt the child, she could only look at Mrs. Huo in front of her in a panic.

"Mom, why is Xiaogua crying?"

At this moment, there was a confused sound in the room, and then Huo Lan was seen walking out in pajamas with messy hair. Apparently she was awakened by the child's crying.

The next second, Huo Lan felt a basin of cold water rushing towards him, and he woke up instantly. Then, he saw a figure flash past, and then Xiaogua was hugged by Huo Lan.
