Chapter 958 - He’s More Handsome than Me

“Mom, I don’t want to cry, but my tears keep flowing down. I can’t stop them.” Ling Sheng was still afraid, the feeling of having survived a disaster.

Nangong Lengyu looked at her grimacing face and smiled dotingly. “Got it. Go ahead and cry.”

Ling Sheng didn’t cry for long either before her tears stopped. She received a call from her father. “Your grandfather is hiking. Why are you looking for him?”

Ling Sheng’s voice was still hoarse. “It’s nothing. I understand. Dad, go ahead with your work!”

All of them didn’t know; only she knew that her grandfather had just undergone a life and death situation and escaped death from the grim reaper.

Not many people knew that Huo Xiao had had a close shave with death either. Other than Rong Zhengguo and Jiang You, who had gone up the mountain with him, only Ling Sheng, Nangong Lengyu, Nangong Lengmo, and Jun Shiyan knew about it. They didn’t tell anyone else. and didn’t say anything else.

Huo Ci only found out later. He was so angry then that he pointed at Ling Sheng’s nose and gave her a severe tongue lashing. Her wings had hardened, and she had become gutsy. She even dared to not tell him about such a major incident!

It was absolutely impossible for Su Xiyin to find out. Afraid that she would be worried, no one told her. They just said that he had accidentally fallen and gotten injured while hiking.

After Huo Xiao got injured, he didn’t go anywhere else anymore. He stayed at home to recuperate, but it wasn’t a huge injury either. The ear-ringing caused by the explosion was the biggest problem. The rest were just minor injuries.

Ling Sheng also went home to accompany her grandparents. Anyway, from her pregnancy to the stage accident, she had completely lost her freedom and became a canary in a cage.

Xiaoqi was so happy that he was spinning in circles. Mommy could send him and pick him up from school every day, and even attend a parent-teacher meeting with him. She could do the homework assigned by the teacher together with him.

However, Su Xiyin had recently fallen in love with watching a TV drama called “Battlefield.” It was a spy movie, and the main lead was Sheng Xichen. He was simply a walking hormone inside the show. His every move was full of masculinity, which captured the hearts of countless women.

Su Xiyin was also mesmerized. She watched TV on the dot every day and even followed his Weibo. She even asked Ling Sheng for his WeChat ID and added it. She would like his posts on his WeChat Moments every day.

“Is he that good-looking?” Huo Xiao walked over unhappily and took the remote control to change the channel.

His little wife only stared at this man every single day. It was fine if she watched the drama series once, but she even replayed it over and over again. It was fine if she just watched the show but she even stared at him and smiled.

“Good-looking! How handsome! He’s so masculine. Sheng Sheng said that this is called a ‘stunning beauty’ and a walking aphrodisiac!” After saying this, Su Xiyin got anxious when she saw that the channel had been switched. “Change it back for me.”

“What for? For you to look at that man?” Huo Xiao was angry. His eyes were blazing flames, but he refused to give the remote control to her.

“Yes, yes, yes. I want to look at that man.” Su Xiyin stood up and snatched the remote control. “Give it to me. Don’t you usually not like watching TV dramas?”

Huo Xiao was furious and asked her, “Am I handsome or is that man handsome?”

“Of course, it’s my Xichen who is handsome.” Su Xiyin didn’t hesitate at all. She was a complete little fangirl and looked at him strangely. “How can you compare to him when you’re already so old?”

Huo Xiao felt jealous and upset that he was outmatched. He pointed at Sheng Xichen on the TV haughtily and disdainfully. “When I was young, wasn’t I more handsome than him?!”

Su Xiyin frowned and looked at Sheng Xichen with a beaming smile. “You weren’t as handsome as my Xichen even when you were young.”

When Huo Xiao heard this, he was enraged. When he saw his wife looking at another man with a gentle expression, he was so angry that he directly threw the remote control onto the sofa and turned to leave. After taking two steps, he turned around. “Just look at him then! You can survive !”

Su Xiyin still smiled. “Yes, I can.”

Ling Sheng pushed the door open and entered. She saw Grandma hugging a pillow and smiling at the TV. Grandpa was so angry that he threw the remote control on the sofa and turned to leave.

“Grandma, what happened to Grandpa?” Ling Sheng ran over and sat down.

Su Xiyin said, “Who knows? I’m just watching TV, yet he wasn’t letting me watch it nor look at Xichen. He even compared his looks with Xichen! I honestly told him that he’s not as handsome as Xichen and he even got angry. Look at him, he’s like a child.”

Ling Sheng smiled ambiguously. “Grandma, do you really not know what is going on? Why Grandpa got angry?”

Su Xiyin frowned. “I’m just watching a TV drama. What is he angry about?”

Ling Sheng laughed and cuddled Grandma’s arm. “I think Grandpa is jealous!”

Su Xiyin laughed as well. “He’s a blockhead. Does he know what jealousy is? I’ve been married to your grandfather for so many years, but I’ve never seen him jealous of anyone.”

Ling Sheng said very firmly, “Grandma, I dare to guarantee that Grandpa is definitely jealous.”

Su Xiyin laughed out loud. “Jealous of whom? Jealous of Xichen? Xichen is even younger than your father! Why would he be jealous of him? Does he think I can still find a man younger than your father to like?!”

Ling Sheng said, “Grandma, my grandpa is jealous because he cares too much about you! You didn’t get so infatuated with any man in the past, right?”

Su Xiyin thought for a moment. No, she didn’t, but the boy was just a child. Why was he jealous of a child? He even got sulky.

“Sheng Sheng, come here,” Huo Xiao called out to him from the bedroom door.

Ling Sheng looked at Su Xiyin. “Grandma, I’ll go to Grandpa first.”

Su Xiyin nodded and looked at Sheng Xichen on the TV. The child was indeed handsome and manly. Chasing celebrities was not uniquely enjoyed by young people alone either. She could also idolize them, alright?

When Ling Sheng entered the bedroom, she saw a lot of photos. She didn’t know where her grandfather had gotten them from, but they were all old photographs. There were also a lot of black and white photos. When she took a look, she found that he was handsome, peerlessly handsome!

Her grandfather was so handsome in the photos when he was young that he could compete with her father. He could definitely be considered a ‘stunning beauty’. No wonder her father was so handsome. He had inherited all the good points of her grandparents!

Huo Xiao pulled her in and pointed at the photos on the ground. “My dear granddaughter, do you think Grandpa is more handsome, or is it that… that little celebrity called Sheng Xichen on TV who looks better?”

Ling Sheng could not help but burst out laughing. When an old man got jealous, he was rather adorable. When she looked at the photos, she naturally praised him. She raised her thumb and said sweetly, “Grandpa is good-looking! Grandpa is the most handsome in the world. Handsome and talented! How can Sheng Xichen compare to you, Grandpa?”

Huo Xiao had just received a blow from his wife, so he was not confident. He looked at her. “Really? You aren’t lying to Grandpa?”

Ling Sheng nodded. “Of course, it’s true! Grandpa, you don’t know this. Every time there’s a ranking of the most good-looking people in the entertainment industry, my dad always comes in first. Sheng Xichen will at most come in second, but he’s always suppressed by my dad. The eyes of the masses are sharp. My dad is your son, and he inherited your looks. You have to believe in yourself.”

Huo Xiao frowned unhappily. “But your grandmother said that he’s more handsome than me.”
