Huo Tingyan lived in a grand European-style villa perched on the hillside. Standing outside the intricately carved iron gate, Su Luo tilted her small head back, gazing at the luxurious and imposing villa in awe, feeling as though she was starring in an idol drama.

"Daddy, do you live here all by yourself?" The little girl gasped enviously, her face filled with wonder. So this was what a rich person's life was like!

"Mm," Huo Tingyan replied flatly, taking long strides as he walked inside. The little girl immediately trotted happily after him.

"Sir, welcome home." As the two entered the main hall, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came forward to greet them. Upon seeing the little girl following Huo Tingyan, the butler visibly froze. "Sir, who is this?"

Huo Tingyan didn't answer his question. Instead, he simply handed the little girl over to the butler. "Take her to get cleaned up." With that, the man turned directly and went upstairs, leaving behind a stern and tall back.

"Daddy!" Su Luo, seeing him leave her behind, instinctively started to follow. The butler, who was behind her, stumbled when he heard her words, almost tripping face-first.

What had he just heard? This little girl called Third Master "Daddy"? When did Third Master have a daughter? How could he not know?!

The butler's expression almost fractured with shock. What on earth was going on? Was he hallucinating?

"Daddy, wait for me—" Su Luo had just taken one step when the man's low reprimand came from above her head.

"Stop!"

Su Luo's steps halted. She blinked her large, watery eyes, looking at him pitifully. "Daddy?"

Huo Tingyan's heart inexplicably softened, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply softened his tone: "Don't come near me until you've bathed." It was already a struggle for the fastidious Third Master Huo to tolerate being near this dirty little girl for so long.

The little girl was easily embarrassed. She thought Daddy was disgusted with her for not being clean, and her face instantly flushed deep red. Her rosy cheeks were like a pale-red apple, making one want to take a bite.

"Oh." Su Luo immediately stopped, watching anxiously as her daddy's figure departed. She no longer dared to follow.

After Huo Tingyan left, the little girl couldn't help but raise her hand and sniff her little nose. Was she really that smelly? Σ(°△°|||)

Su Luo was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Would Daddy dislike her and think she was a dirty child who didn't like to bathe?

"Grandpa Butler, Luoluo wants to bathe," the little girl said, tugging at the butler's sleeve.

"Ah? Oh... Y-yes, of course." The butler, who had been stiff as if turned to stone, snapped out of it at the little girl's soft voice. "Little Miss, please follow me," the butler said, swallowing hard, his expression complex as he looked at the little girl, still finding it hard to believe.

He hadn't expected this little girl to actually be Third Master's daughter!

The butler's face wore a mystified expression, and his steps felt light. He almost tripped when crossing the threshold.

"Grandpa Butler, be careful," the little girl said, struggling to steady him.

"My apologies, Little Miss, I was being rude," the butler said, finally regaining his balance, his face filled with contrition.

"Grandpa Butler, you need to be more careful when walking next time," the little girl lectured him in her sweet, childish voice, like a little adult.

"Little Miss is right. I will definitely be more careful next time," the butler said, clutching his chest, utterly smitten by her cuteness. A kindly smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Ahhh... where did this little darling come from? She's so well-behaved and sensible; even an old man like me is completely melted by her cuteness!"
