Thank god. If Fifth Uncle had not warned them, she and Xiaoqi would definitely have been caught red-handed. They might even have been tortured by her father!
Jun Shiyan sat in the car and saw the mother and son enter the building. Then, he looked at Xu Xi. “Let’s go back to the company.”
Xu Xi sighed in his heart. Look at his Third Master. In order to get a wife, he had abandoned his job and postponed his work until the evening.
When Huo Ci and Lu Yubai got rid of the crowd half an hour later, they reached the bottom of the building and saw the mother and son duo fighting their way out of the elevator.
“Father, Fifth Uncle, what are you doing here?” Ling Sheng greeted them in surprise.
Lu Yubai went forward to welcome them. Xiaoqi had already run to his side and called him Great Uncle excitedly. He felt very happy as he smiled and said, “Your father insisted on coming to fetch you two home. He said it’s not safe on the way.”
Ling Sheng smiled until her eyes curved and blurted out, “My father treats me the best. I’ll definitely study hard and become the college entrance examination champion. I won’t let you down, Father.”
Huo Ci looked at her flattering expression. Look, look, look. She obviously knew that he was not the one who had wanted to come over, yet she was still acting.
Xiaoqi was a clever child. He knew what his grandpa was thinking and how to make him happy. He ran over and grabbed Huo Ci’s hand. “Grandpa.”
Huo Ci shook his hand off and gave him a disdainful look. Why was he looking for him? Wasn’t his fifth great-uncle there? Go to him!
Xiaoqi chased after him on his short legs and held his hand again. “Grandpa, the road is slippery. Xiaoqi will support you.”
Huo Ci was so angry that he laughed, but his tone was still full of disdain. “You’re supporting me? You make it sound so nice. You want me to support you, right?”
Xiaoqi looked up and looked at him seriously. “Grandpa will support Xiaoqi now. When Xiaoqi grows up, he will support Grandpa.”
Lu Yubai was envious. How could there be such a sensible little cutie? Look at that cold face of his. He was still not satisfied. He should be happy that he had such a grandson!
When they passed by the snowman, Huo Ci asked Xiaoqi casually, “Did you and your mother come down to play in the snow?”
Xiaoqi took a look at his mother, who shook her head, and denied it hurriedly. “No, Mommy and I have been studying. Xiaoqi didn’t disturb Mommy.”
Huo Ci let out a cold snort and pointed at the snowman not far away. “That hat must belong to a ghost then!”
That brat wanted to lie to him? He had sharp eyes. That snowman’s hat was not hers? Where had they freaking gotten such a childish hat? She wore whatever was given to her.
Only then did Ling Sheng realize that she had been in a hurry and had forgotten about her hat. She looked at him obsequiously and explained, “Father, we just came out to build a snowman. Xiaoqi and I have never seen snow since we were young. It’s new to us.”
Huo Ci nodded and did not continue to cause them trouble.
“I can build snowmen. Let’s build another one!” Lu Yubai suggested. He knew that she had grown up in the south. Even if it snowed once or twice in winter, the snow would not accumulate, let alone be enough to build a snowman.
Huo Ci approached the snowman and said in disdain, “It’s hideous. How did you build such an ugly snowman?”
Ling Sheng answered cooperatively, “Father, make a nice pile!”
Lu Yubai said, “The snowman he will build won’t compare to yours. Uncle will build you a nice one!”
Huo Ci said, “I make the best ones.”
Ling Sheng frowned as she watched the two old men argue over a childish thing. Are you children?
