Chapter 154 - Going All Out

A look of sadness flashed across the servant’s face. He should not have revealed more of his master’s private matters.

However, in order to have Huo Tian put in more effort into making Xi Cheng’s exoskeleton equipment, he gritted teeth and said, “Miss Huo, Master is an extremely proud person. Before he was injured, he was able to rely on his physique to complete extreme sports that most people in the world would not dare to try.”

“After Master was injured, he had something he desperately wanted to do. In fact, Master and Madam have been separated for a long time. Master wants to stand in front of Madam in the most perfect manner. This concerns Master’s happiness for the rest of his life. I hope Miss Huo can understand my feelings. I just don’t want Master to be disappointed again…”

It was probably because the servant’s expression was so sad that Huo Tian was also touched. She promised solemnly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do my best. No, I’ll definitely be able to make the most ideal exoskeleton device so that your master can move freely and meet his wife in the best manner.”

The servant bowed gratefully to Huo Tian.

It was after the car drove far away that Huo Tian couldn’t help but sigh and say to Si Huan. “I wonder what conflict Mr. Xi had with his wife that the two of them haven’t met in years. I hope Mr. Xi can get what he wishes for…”

Si Huan, who had chatted with Xi Cheng before, knew that things weren’t as simple as Huo Tian had guessed. However, this was Xi Cheng’s private matter, so Si Huan didn’t dare to reveal it to the public.

Hence, he nodded and said, “You’re right. Mr. Xi isn’t young anymore. I really hope he can find his wife quickly so that he won’t waste the next few decades of his life.”

For the sake of Mr. Xi’s deep love for his wife and the huge deposit he had paid the company, Huo Tian rooted herself in the company’s laboratory after returning and did not come out for several days.

Every day, she’d either be computing data or experimenting with materials. She relied on the staff to send her meals on time and when she was tired, she would lie on her desk and rest for a few hours. The staff could not pull Huo Tian out of the laboratory at all, so they could only call Ding Chen, one of the bosses, over.

Ding Chen’s heart ached when he saw the haggard Huo Tian. He walked around Huo Tian and persuaded her, “Tiantian, good health is a prerequisite for work. You’re the key figure of our company. If you fall ill, our company won’t be able to function anymore. Listen to Uncle. Let’s not rush anymore and take a good rest, okay?”

Huo Tian did not hear what Ding Chen said clearly. She only felt that Ding Chen’s voice was like a mosquito buzzing by her ear non-stop.

Huo Tian waved her hand impatiently and said, “Uncle, stop giving me trouble here. If you want to play, can you go somewhere else to play? I’m very busy now and don’t have the time to play with you!”

Ding Chen was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet. “You brat, you’ve really gone overboard. You actually said that I’m a child who only thinks of causing trouble. You’re being really disrespectful!”

Realizing that Huo Tian was turning a deaf ear to his words, Ding Chen rubbed his face helplessly and said angrily, “Just you wait. I can’t do anything to you, but I can find someone who can!”

Ding Chen had no dignity in front of Huo Tian and could only call the top dog of the family’s food chain—Ding Rong.

This was Ding Rong’s first time coming to the laboratory in the company’s factory, but she didn’t have the time to admire those high-tech products that seemed to be seen in technological movies. She rushed straight to the laboratory Huo Tian was in.

Huo Tian had just found a new type of fiber material to make the nervous system. She was halfway through showing her excitement when her ear was pulled by a slender hand.

Ding Rong’s devilish voice rang out beside her ear. “Tiantian, I heard from your uncle that you haven’t rested for three days in a row. Is that right?”

This question was clearly squeezed out from between Ding Rong’s teeth. Huo Tian turned her head in fear and saw Ding Rong’s expression. Ding Rong was trying hard to keep calm but could not hide her anger.

Huo Tian’s heart, whose frequency hadn’t changed much over the past few days despite having burned a lot of midnight oil, suddenly started pounding violently at this moment.

Huo Tian’s face turned pale and she stammered as she explained, “Mom, Mom, l-l-l-let me explain…”

Ding Rong smiled and said, “Go on, I’m listening.”

Although she had tried her best to appear amiable, Huo Tian still felt that she could see the murderous black fog behind Ding Rong.

Huo Tian racked her brain and said incoherently, “Mom, trust me, I won’t joke around with my body. Although I didn’t leave the laboratory, I had rested for the past few days…”

Ding Chen was happily selling out his niece at the side. “That’s right. She rested on the table, for less than three hours each time. After she wakes up, she would drink black coffee and continue working. She slept for less than seven hours in total over the three days!”
