Chapter 1585: Not Grateful At All

“Er... It hurts to play the harmonica!”

Jing Xi racked her brain and gave an awkward excuse.

“Oh.” Little Grape asked nothing further.

Having spent quite a while on the cruise, Huo Yunshen asked the children, “Cherry, Hengheng, are you hungry? Shall we go for a picnic?”

“Daddy, let’s eat here!”

Little Grape saw that his Auntie Xiaoxi had brought baskets of yummy food and could not wait any longer.

“Fine.” Huo Yunshen spared a glance at Jin Xiaoxi.

Jing Xi realized and proposed, “Sure. Everything is here. Your Highness can eat on the boat.”

She opened the baskets and placed the dishes on the table one after another, and handed forks and knives to the children.

She handed some to the King as well. But Huo Yunshen did not take any. “Thank you. I’m not hungry.”

He was as cold and indifferent as always, not being grateful at all.

Little Grape was pissed off. He turned away angrily.

Since he could remember, he had never seen his own mother. When he grew older, he asked around and was told that she went to a faraway place.

Little as he was, he could never understand why his mother had to leave for so long and never returned.

What kept her so busy?

He took it as their mother having abandoned them.

On one hand, he wished that his mother could come back. And on the other, he hated her for leaving him alone.

A joyful picnic was ruined by the talk of their mother. Ying Bao was upset too and put aside the food.

Little Grape was too mad at his sister to eat any more.

In the end, Huo Yunshen had to bring them ashore. Jing Xi followed.

A huge castle was inflated and erected on the lawn.

Yao Zheng had been waiting. Seeing the king, the prince, and the princess coming she rushed to welcome them. “Your Majesty, we’ve got tea, fresh juices and various drinks ready. Would you like some?”

“No. Tell everyone we are heading back.” Huo Yunshen ordered while he brought the two children into the car.
