Huo Tian, who was in a good mood, couldn’t help but hum a cheerful tune as she helped her uncle clean up the mess in the company.

Seeing how happy she was, Si Huan was also influenced by her emotions and a faint smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

Si Huan smiled and asked, “Is being praised by the police officers something worth being happy over to this extent?”

“Of course!” Huo Tian swayed her head proudly. “Even if I’m a genius, I hope to be recognized and supported by others. I hope to be able to receive positive feedback from others.”

Bi Ying and Si Huan both laughed. When Huo Tian frankly revealed her thoughts, she was like a child reaching out her hands to an adult to ask for candy. Although she was a little willful, she could easily be liked by others.

Bi Ying looked down at his legs. Under the broad fabric was a pair of prosthetic limbs made of machinery.

However, if he didn’t reveal them on his own accord, no one would have thought that such agile legs were a pair of prosthetic limbs. Even Bi Ying would occasionally forget that he was a disabled person with his legs amputated.

Many years after his legs were amputated, Bi Ying once again felt what normal people could feel. This was all thanks to Huo Tian.

Of course, Bi Ying was filled with gratitude towards Huo Tian. He even swore to stand by her side forever and support her in everything she did.

However, it was only now that Bi Ying realized that he had never formally expressed his gratitude to Huo Tian before.

Unlike Bi Ying, who was used to silence, Si Huan was better at expressing his emotions.

He took Huo Tian’s hand solemnly and looked her in the eye. He said firmly, “Huo Tian, I don’t think I’ve ever expressed my thoughts formally before.”

Huo Tian was a little stunned by Si Huan’s sudden action and didn’t manage to break free from his grip for a moment. She looked at Si Huan, who was half a head taller than her, with a blank expression.

“Actually, every time I see you, I feel like I’m watching the birth of a miracle. Although I’m not a genius like you and Bi Ying, when I walk beside you, I feel like I’m in the midst of surpassing this era.”

“One day, the whole world will know your name and will worship you.”

Under Si Huan’s gaze, which seemed to contain some kind of power, Huo Tian felt her heart beat faster and faster, her cheeks slowly flushed red.

However, she couldn’t tell if this abnormality stemmed from her shyness from being too close to Si Huan or from her excitement from yearning for the future scene Si Huan had portrayed.

Ding Chen tidied up his damaged office equipment and had gone downstairs to throw some trash. When he came back, he saw Si Huan holding his niece’s hand and the two of them were looking at each other lovingly.

Ding Chen, who could calmly deal with more than ten hooligans earlier, now felt his blood pressure increase and anger rushed to his head.

“Si Huan!” Ding Chen let out an agitated roar. “You damned brat! How dare you lay a hand on our Tiantian! I’m going to teach you a lesson today!”

Ding Chen’s face turned red from anger. He rolled up his sleeves and looked around, wanting to find a suitable weapon. In the end, he picked up the broom in the corner and walked towards Si Huan angrily.

After a moment of silence, Si Huan quickly let go of Huo Tian’s hand. He took a few steps back and waved at Ding Chen, explaining, “Uncle, you’ve misunderstood. It isn’t what you think between Huo Tian and me…”

“You bastard, who allowed you to call me uncle!”

Si Huan’s explanation did not have the slightest effect of calming him down. Instead, it infuriated Ding Chen, who was eager to protect the child. Seeing that Si Huan still dared to dodge, he became even more furious and swung his broom at Si Huan.

Seeing that things were about to go out of control, the employees of the company only dared to hide far away and watch. No one actually dared to step forward to stop the fight. Huo Tian looked at Ding Chen, who was burning with anger, and felt a little afraid.

In the end, it was Bi Ying who relieved Si Huan of his crisis.

Bi Ying said calmly, “Uncle Ding, Si Huan was just boasting to Huo Tian. If you really beat Si Huan up, you have to be prepared to have the largest shareholder withdraw his investment.”

The scenes of how Si Huan would sign off the checks every time without any hesitations flashed past in Ding Chen’s mind. The broom that was originally swinging toward Si Huan stopped in midair.

Although Si Huan was dishonest and had laid his hands on Tiantian when he wasn’t around, he was indeed an impeccable business partner.

Most importantly, if Si Huan really withdrew his initial investment in the company, their technology company, which was still in its initial stages of development, would have to be disbanded. How could Ding Chen let so many people’s efforts be wasted?

However, if he didn’t teach this brat a lesson, Ding Chen would feel that he hadn’t fulfilled his responsibilities as an uncle.

In the end, he said to Huo Tian in pain and guilt, “Tiantian, Uncle has let you down.. Uncle can’t help you teach this brat a lesson…”
