Peach-Orange! – Chapter 605 – Father, Su Dingtian

Early the next morning.

This was the day Su Dingtian was scheduled to come to this villa to meet with Su Tao and key members.

She glanced at Chi Xiaocheng, who was still on the bed, sleeping like a heap of mud, and a faint smile unconsciously curved her lips.

Last night, she felt very refreshed.

Even now after getting up, she still wanted that.

However, today she had to face that War God father of hers. Even though a gentle haven was right behind her, she couldn’t immediately immerse herself in it.

She could only hope to quickly resolve the current matters and then return to be with Xiaocheng again.

After grooming herself, Su Tao sensed the War God bloodline within her.

Yesterday’s restlessness in the bloodline had already subsided.

If not for still needing the assistance of the War God Hall, Su Tao would feel even more that this so-called father was dispensable.

Having Xiaocheng was enough for her.

Going out and downstairs, Su Tao saw Si Chen eating breakfast on the first floor. She greeted him, “Good morning, Si Chen.”

Si Chen glanced behind Su Tao, adjusted his glasses, and said, “Morning. Why haven’t I seen Chi Xiaocheng? On such a crucial day, is she still lying in bed?”

“Uh…” Su Tao scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed. “Xiaocheng, she… caught a cold when getting up, can’t get out of bed. So today, I don’t plan on forcing her up. We’ll have to rely on ourselves.”

Hearing this, Si Chen’s expression turned even more peculiar. “Are you sure it’s a cold?”

“It really is a cold!”

Su Tao immediately retorted.

Si Chen: “What about that strange feeling towards the bloodline? Is it still there? Or now that you’re about to meet your father, do you still feel inclined to favor him?”

Su Tao shook her head, “After a night’s sleep, that feeling is completely gone.”

Upon hearing this, Si Chen immediately understood.

No wonder Chi Xiaocheng was so confident last night saying she would solve this problem.

So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is.

Noticing Si Chen’s meaningful expression, which seemed to say “I get it,” Su Tao stammered, “You… what kind of look is that?”

Si Chen pushed his glasses up and continued eating his bun, “I can only say, moderation is key. You, Su Tao, have the War God bloodline, one punch can kill an ox. But Chi Xiaocheng is frail and sickly. Don’t let her get exhausted, and make sure she stays hydrated.”

“I…”

Completely seen through, Su Tao felt even more embarrassed.

She didn’t say anything more, just meekly came to the table opposite Si Chen, picked up a small steamed bun, and took a bite.

It seemed that recently, she really hadn’t been as considerate of Xiaocheng’s health as before.

Right, no wonder Xiaocheng couldn’t hold on after just two hours last night and hasn’t even woken up today.

Online, they say girls have zero cooldown.

If it were other ordinary girls, even a whole night probably wouldn’t matter?

Amidst her random thoughts, a sunny, tall boy in a red windbreaker walked in. “Yo, everyone’s having breakfast already. Why didn’t you call me?”

Dongfang Yang came and sat down beside Su Tao, also picking up a small steamed bun. “Why haven’t I seen Chi Xiaocheng? Is she still in bed?”

Su Tao’s head drooped again, “Xia… Xiaocheng caught a cold last night, doesn’t have the strength to get up today.”

Dongfang Yang’s expression immediately turned serious, “A cold front has been moving in these past two days, the temperature difference between day and night is indeed big. Later, I’ll find a doctor to come take a look at Chi Xiaocheng.”

“Ah?” Su Tao was taken aback again, “Oh, th-that would be troublesome, Dongfang Yang.”

“Hey, no trouble at all.” He waved his hand and returned to the main topic, “The time is set. At 10 o’clock, Su Dingtian and the others will arrive. The location is in my estate. For safety reasons, we won’t be outdoors; we’ll go directly to the reception room in the building on the right.”

Su Tao checked the time: 8:30.

An hour and a half left.

“What do I need to do?”

Si Chen: “Nothing. Just maintain your own presence. Once Su Dingtian arrives, adapt to the situation.”

Su Tao: “Okay!”

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Reaԁ on КαtRеаԁіոɡСаfе

A man, 1.85 meters tall, with short hair, a face not only full of stubble but also bearing a cross-shaped scar, sat on the steps of a pavilion with a complex expression.

His muscular arm held an old photo. He looked at it a few times, then gazed up at the sky and let out a deep sigh.

The tall, thin man in a suit sitting in the pavilion nearby couldn’t help but comment, “Sighing again. The 43rd sigh since getting up at 6 this morning. You’re the War God, what exactly are you worried about?”

“Long Zhong, you don’t understand.” Su Dingtian shrugged, his tone complex. “War God is just an empty title. You know as well as I do, I wanted to retire two years ago, find a place to quietly spend my remaining years.”

“So?” Long Zhong’s gaze fixed on the photo in his hand, “The man who strikes fear into others, yet is someone who can’t even get past the hurdle of emotions?”

“Maybe you’re right.”

Su Dingtian looked at the photo again.

In the photo was a beautiful woman with a well-proportioned figure and a ponytail.

She wore a mink coat, standing under the eaves of a building. Snow had half-whitened her hair, yet she stood there quietly, hands clasped together against her mouth, exhaling a warm breath, gazing into the distance.

In the photo was a woman with whom he had a one-night stand, but who he never contacted again.

Also… Su Tao’s mother.

An actress no one cares about anymore, to the point that even on the internet, no information about this woman could be found.

Even in this day and age, her name is scarcely known.

This was after Su Dingtian made a name for himself abroad and returned to China wanting to take this woman overseas, only to find upon reaching the country that this woman had already died.

He avenged her, but in the end, only found this photo as a keepsake.

For over a decade, he had kept this photo hidden, looking at it every day, yet also, due to a sense of guilt, never examined it closely.

Until later, he felt a stirring in his bloodline.

After investigating, he discovered he actually had a daughter who inherited his bloodline left behind in the country!

It was also then that Su Dingtian gradually noticed something off about the woman’s posture in the photo.

She was slightly straightening her body, but the oversized mink coat covered her entire figure, making her appear no different from anyone else.

But in reality, when this photo was taken, the woman should have been pregnant for some time.

It’s just that these details had always been overlooked by him.

He never once thought in that direction.

This also led to him not knowing he had a daughter in the country.

Now, he has returned.

His daughter has grown up.

They have never met face-to-face, yet some conflicts have arisen.

“Sigh!”

Another long sigh drew Long Zhong’s attention from within the pavilion. “So, Boss Su, you’re thinking about how to face Miss Su Tao?”
