Smoke curled around Huo Jinyan's fingertips as he listened to the young girl coquettishly talk to her family, suddenly feeling an unexpected firelight atmosphere infusing his presence here.
He hadn't been home for quite a while now.
Although no one in his family objected when he initially entered this field, he still strived to prove himself to them, climbing upwards with determination.
Proving that he hadn't chosen the wrong path.
Their support wasn't misplaced.
This proof stretched over more than a decade. He seemed to often be distant from his family, rarely coming together.
Qin Shen Shen hung up the phone and walked back, suddenly noticing the person standing by the safety door, her steps halted.
"Mr. Huo?"
Huo Jinyan snapped out of his reverie, nodded at her: "Yes."
He casually extinguished the cigarette between his fingers.
This was Qin Shen Shen's first time seeing Huo Jinyan smoke. She didn't know what to say and quietly stared at her toes.
