Chapter 189: Chapter 189 You Dialed the Wrong Number
The man was not young, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, with hair flecked with gray at the temples.
As he stepped off the car, a bright light flickered in his eyes, making him seem very excited.
But not long after, he returned to calmness, as if reverting to his original state, yet it felt like he was deliberately holding back his emotions, hiding them all behind his eyes, turning into an endless vortex.
Even though Song Song was a bit slow to react, she realized at this moment that this man knew her mother, and their relationship... was not ordinary.
Song Xueqin clenched her hands tightly, her gaze turning elsewhere, "How do you know I’m here?"
The man smiled gently, "Perhaps it’s destiny, the heavens still let me find you. Xue Qin, have you been well these past twenty years?"
"Very well, excellent." Song Xueqin beamed with a radiant smile, "Mr. Huo, are you satisfied with this answer?"
The man carefully looked at the woman’s stunningly beautiful face and said with a laugh, "Xue Qin, your personality hasn’t changed in these past twenty years, still so fiery."
Song Xueqin crossed her arms and turned her head, avoiding the man’s burning gaze.
Soon, the man’s gaze shifted, falling on the girl who appeared to be only in her teens, "You must be Song Song, I didn’t expect you’ve grown so much, I am Jun Ting and Huohuo’s father, you can call me Uncle Huo."
"Ah!" Song Song was a bit shocked, "So you are Huohuo’s dad! Hello, Uncle Huo..."
"Song Song, what are you babbling about?"
Song Xueqin grabbed Song Song’s hand, "A stranger, why are you calling him uncle? Come, let’s go home!"
"Mom, but didn’t you want to leave just now?"
The moment Uncle Huo appeared, Ms. Song was flustered, even changing her original plan.
Song Xueqin said nothing, directly heading home as if she were angry about something.
Song Song was genuinely bewildered, as she turned to look at the man, "...Uncle Huo, are you an old friend of my mom’s?"
Huo Chen nodded, "Sort of, and not exactly."
To be more precise, he had liked Xu Xueqin for over twenty years. Unable to be lovers, he could only settle for being a friend.
Friend? He didn’t want to be just a friend, he wanted to be a man!
Even if they were both already over fifty...
Song Song felt that this was a long story; she just hadn’t expected her mother to be an old acquaintance of Huohuo’s father...
No wonder she and Huohuo got along so well.
Get along well? Could it be, was he her biological father?
Huo Chen watched the astonishment in the girl’s eyes and couldn’t help but smile, saying, "I heard from Jun Ting that you and Huohuo get along well?"
"...Yes."
Song Song’s heart was about to burst out of her chest; she suddenly became very excited. Could such a gentle and refined man be her biological father?
If he were, then she and Huohuo would be sisters...
At this time, the man suddenly said, "Song Song, Huohuo is still a child, as her older sister you should take good care of her in the future, so I as her dad can be at ease."
Song Song: "..."
After speaking, the man just propped himself with a cane and walked towards the apartment building.
Song Song stood behind watching that tall figure with tears welling up. So, was he really her father?
A father’s love was her other dream besides culinary arts, but now it seemed to be right in front of her, able to talk and touch.
Such news made her so happy she could eat ten bowls of rice.
She wanted to share it with someone, and the only person she thought of was him, so she took out her phone without hesitation to call him.
"Uncle, uncle, I think I might have found my biological father, I’m so excited! No, no, it should be my biological father found me and my mom..."
There was no immediate response from the other side, after a moment a female voice said, "Sorry, you dialed the wrong number."
