Chapter 650 - All His Effort Would Go to Waste

Xiaoqi shook his head hurriedly, his big eyes sparkling as he looked at him. “Grandpa, Xiaoqi doesn’t need your company. Xiaoqi is tired and wants to sleep with you.”

Uncle Jun was still under the bed. Was he afraid? The ground was cold and dark.

“Who wants to sleep with you?” Huo Ci gave him a disdainful look before turning to look at Ling Sheng. His tone was full of concern, and his voice softened for the first time. His eyes were full of worry as he said, “To prevent you from fainting suddenly again, I’ll leave later. It’s too dangerous if no one is watching you.”

Ling Sheng’s forehead darkened. She couldn’t believe those words had come out of his mouth. Why would he care so much about her life?

However, he had really turned the volume of the television down to the minimum. He looked like he was very concerned about her, which made her feel too embarrassed to continue telling him to go away.

Time passed minute by minute. Ling Sheng reeled with anxiety as she counted the seconds. She couldn’t help it. She had a feeling that her father had realized that the Third Master was there. He was deliberately staying behind. “Father, you’ve been watching television for two hours. Your eyes will start to hurt. Xiaoqi should sleep. You should go back and rest early. I’m fine.”

Huo Ci gave her a cold look. “Why? Do you want me to leave that badly? Is there a man hiding in the house?”

Ling Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. If she had still been suspicious just now, she was 100% sure now. Based on the look in her father’s eyes, she knew that he had definitely stayed behind to mess with her on purpose. She smiled politely, trying not to look awkward. “Father, what are you talking about? How is that possible?”

Huo Ci said, “Then why are you so nervous? Your old man will just stay a little longer. Can’t I show you some concern?”

Ling Sheng wanted to cry but could not form tears. She bit her lip. Fine, you’re the big boss. You can say anything you want. You’re always right!

Xiaoqi did not know what to do. He was anxious, but he had already spoken up a few times. His grandpa was unwilling to leave and insisted on having fun with him. In the past, he had pestered him, yet he had refused to have fun with him.

Huo Ci switched off the television and switched on a lamp in the living room. He told Xiaoqi to sleep with his mother while he took out a script. He smiled and said, “Your grandma said she wanted me to keep you company at night. If you have any objections, tell your grandma.”

Ling Sheng wanted to die. She watched as he ran to the cabinet to get a blanket and leaned against the sofa to read the script. It seemed like he was really not planning to leave. She smiled. “Father, you don’t have to keep me company. I’m not a child. I know you care about me and treat me well. However, it won’t be convenient when I have to go to the washroom in the middle of the night, right!?”

Huo Ci rolled his eyes at her. “I’m not going to peep when you are using the washroom. What’s inconvenient about that?”

Was it inconvenient for him?

Would it be convenient if Jun Shiyan was around?

That brat. Raising her was a waste of time. They had not even started dating, yet she was already siding with an outsider!

No!

He was sleeping there today!

He wanted to see how long this scumbag of a person could hold back.

Ling Sheng really wanted to shout that she had hidden a man. How should she confess? However, the Third Master had already endured this for two hours. If she said it now, all his effort would be in vain!

However, if she did not speak up, her father would spend the night. The Third Master could hide under the bed for a while, but if he stayed there the entire night, he might very well die.

In the end, she could only ask Su Yan for help and see how she could trick her father to get out for a while so that the Third Master could slip out when he had time.

Soon, her savior arrived.

Su Jing knocked on the door and said in a serious voice, “Uncle, the Old Master wants to see you.”
