Chapter 880 - : I’ll Try It Too

“Grandpa, I’m here.” Xiaoqi was as happy as a silly dog. He ran over immediately and reached for the bun.

“Have you washed your hands?” Huo Ci patted his hand away. Upon seeing the brat grin at him, he kindly picked one up and fed it to him. “Have you brushed your teeth?”

Xiaoqi took a big bite of the bun and mumbled, “I brushed it last night.”

“Why didn’t you say you brushed your teeth yesterday morning? Why are you so dirty? Did I teach you not to brush your teeth?” Huo Ci’s face was full of disdain.

Nangong Lengyu swept a look over and her gaze landed on Huo Ci. It was as cold as a knife. But when she looked at Xiaoqi, she was gentle and loving. “Xiaoqi, come over to Grandma.”

Xiaoqi took a look at his smiling grandma and then Grandpa, who was covered in cold air. He knew better than to move and did not go to her even though he wanted to. He muttered incoherently, “It doesn’t matter where Xiaoqi is. Grandma, hurry up and eat.”

Huo Ci was satisfied. He looked at the brat beside him with a face that clearly showed that he was proud of himself. He brought over a bowl of soft beancurd and added a big spoonful of sugar. “I’ve already added sugar to the beancurd for you. I added a bit more than usual.”

Xiaoqi’s big eyes sparkled. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Ling Sheng truly felt that her father was really childish, and not by a tiny bit either. He usually let Xiaoqi eat by himself, but he had even started feeding him today. He would not let Xiaoqi eat even if he wanted to.

When Nangong Lengyu left the town later, she would have to part with them. She would take Jun Shiyan’s plane home directly. Even if she wanted to, she did not have a chance to be close to Xiaoqi, as Huo Ci kept taking up the little fella’s time.

Besides, she had to admit that Xiaoqi’s relationship with Huo Ci was deeper than hers. The little fella liked Huo Ci a lot and also listened to him a lot. She felt a little jealous, but she could understand. After all, they had been together for more than half a year.

This way, if she wanted to snatch Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi back, she would face a lot of resistance. Huo Ci was part of the reason, as well as the two elders at home.

Xiaoqi had received an unprecedentedly superior treatment. He did not even have to walk on the streets anymore. Grandpa would carry him wherever he went. After dinner, he even took him to the bathroom to brush his teeth personally.

The little fella was so happy that he could not close his mouth. Grandpa was really nice today. If only Grandpa were this nice every day. He liked this kind of grandpa.

As a child, Xiaoqi did not know what he was up to, but Ling Sheng and the other two adults knew that he was winning Xiaoqi.

Nangong Lengyu did not even have a chance to hug Xiaoqi. She was furious inside. He had done it on purpose to prevent Xiaoqi from getting close to her. The older he got, the more childish he became!

Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan packed their things. There were specialties sent over by the auntie and uncle, as well as their own pickled vegetables, salted fish, cured meat, sausages, and preserved dried ribs.

Jun Shiyan picked up a piece of paper and looked at the words on it. “Five catties of wine, 100g of Cordyceps, deer antler…”

Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng turned around suddenly, her face turning completely red. She reached out to snatch the piece of paper. “Give it to me!”

Jun Shiyan had already raised his hand. The young lady could not reach it even if she jumped up. Upon seeing her anxious face turn red, he smiled and asked, “What’s this?”

Ling Sheng did not know if he had finished reading it, but she was both embarrassed and angry. She looked at him angrily and straightened her neck stubbornly. “Nothing!”

Jun Shiyan wanted to tease her. It was rare to see his young lady get so flustered. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Medicinal wine?”

“I don’t know!” Ling Sheng jumped up and tugged his arm downward with all her might. She did not know why the secret recipe Uncle Xie had sent over yesterday had landed among the specialties!

Jun Shiyan saw that the young lady was really about to get angry. At the instant he passed her the secret recipe, Jun Shiyan suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear, “The one Father-in-law drank yesterday?”

Ling Sheng gritted her teeth, wanting to bite him to death. She pinched him ferociously. “Why are you asking when you know? Why are you asking when you know?”

Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh. For the first time, there was a hint of wickedness in his flirtatious eyes. Even his voice held a hint of sexiness and charm. “I’ll try it too when you brew the wine another day.”

The man’s slightly hot breath burned in her ears. Coupled with his charmingly seductive voice, Ling Sheng felt her blood boil. She swallowed with difficulty and felt her nose heat up.

She lowered his head again.

Reached out to touch…

Her nose was bleeding!

Jun Shiyan panicked. Upon seeing the two streaks of blood in the young lady’s nose, he tugged at her nervously and led her to the washroom. He blamed himself. “Was the heating of the air conditioner too high yesterday? The air was too dry. I forgot to get An Yan to buy a humidifier.”

Ling Sheng thought to herself, What air-conditioner! She was charmed by his voice. How embarrassing! How embarrassing! How d*mn embarrassing! Was she that perverted? Her nose actually bled because of his voice and breath!

“Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup later.” Jun Shiyan grabbed her chin and turned on the tap to wash the blood from her nose. When he patted her forehead with cold water, his heart ached immensely.

The water was really too cold, but without cold water, the blood would not stop flowing so quickly.

Ling Sheng was like a puppet doll, obediently letting the man do whatever he wanted. When she opened her eyes slightly, she could see the panic on the man’s handsome face.

It was just a nosebleed. Was there a need to be so anxious?

When Nangong Lengyu came out with her luggage, she saw the duo standing beside the tap in the courtyard. Ah Yan was wiping Sheng Sheng’s face and there was also blood on the ground beside her. She panicked instantly. She threw her luggage down and ran over. “What’s wrong? Where did the blood come from?”

Ling Sheng shook her head and tilted her head up. In a heavily nasal voice, she said, “I’m fine. I had a little nosebleed. I think I ate too much yesterday and got too much internal heat.”

Only then did Nangong Lengyu relax. “I’ll go to the hospital to get some medicine to reduce the heatiness later and buy some fruit from the fruit shop.”

Ling Sheng thought to herself, I just had a small nosebleed. It’s not like I got some incurable disease. Do you guys have to be so nervous?

Huo Ci and Xiaoqi were the last to come out. He was carrying Xiaoqi with one hand while the other was carrying a suitcase. He looked like an all-rounded grandpa!

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Upon seeing the tissues in Ling Sheng’s nose, Xiaoqi frowned, his small face full of worry.

Huo Ci laughed mercilessly. “Your mother is pretending to be a pig with toilet paper stuck in her nose!”

Ling Sheng gnashed her teeth and glared at him before letting out a breath from her nose. She held Nangong Lengyu’s arm and turned to leave, leaving him with a decisive and arrogant back view.

Her father had gone overboard. How could he behave like this? Everyone else was worried about her, but not only was he not worried, but he was also teasing her!

There were no cotton balls at home, so the Third Master stuffed two balls of tissue paper into her nose to prevent them from bleeding again.

Nangong Lengyu gave him a cold look. She had really learned something new again. This was the first time she had seen such a father. Look at how happily he was laughing.
