Chapter 1119 - Escape From the Second Floor

When Luo Xin heard the word ‘son’, jealousy spread like wildfire in her heart. That word made her feel like there was a fish bone stuck in her throat. She smiled and nodded at her. “Take care, Miss Ling.”

Ling Sheng did not turn back. Instead, she walked forward resolutely. When she clearly heard Butler Gu invite Luo Xin in, she scowled.

Was she really so detestable in his heart that he would lie to her and not even want to see her?

When Ling Sheng returned home and entered the house, she saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman on the balcony diagonally opposite her.

Nangong Lengyu was nestled in a hanging chair with a laptop on her knees and was working seriously. From her side angle, a few rays of sunlight shone in. Her beautiful face without any makeup had a languid and comfortable look.

Huo Ci sat beside her with his legs crossed and the script in his hand. Occasionally, he would flip through a few pages of the script. From time to time, he would turn to look at the woman beside him and feed her a piece of fruit.

Ling Sheng looked at the warm and harmonious scene in front of her. Oh my god, look at them. She doesn’t even need to eat anymore, she could fill herself up with the lovey-dovey display by her parents.

On the balcony, the two indulging in love did not realize that their daughter had returned until they smelled the delicious food.

Nangong Lengyu looked at Huo Ci. “When did Sheng Sheng come back?”

Huo Ci shook his head and glanced at the kitchen in disdain. “I don’t know.”

That wretched girl! She went to look for the man everyday, she couldn’t bear to let him go and couldn’t forget about him. She kept saying that she didn’t want Third Master Jun anymore, but she still went to look for him everyday.

Looking at her actions, he would get angry whenever he looked at her. If he wasn’t afraid of angering her wife, he would teach her a lesson.

“Who are you glaring at? Didn’t Sheng Sheng go to look for Xiaoqi?” Nangong Lengyu spoke up for her daughter and glared at him angrily. Seeing him hand over another strawberry, she said in disdain, “I’m not eating it.”

Huo Ci waved the strawberry at her lips and coaxed her with a smile. “Just one bite. The tip is the sweetest and most delicious.”

Nangong Lengyu opened her mouth and took a small bite. As she watched the man happily eat the remaining strawberries, she sighed softly. Wasn’t he childish?

Ling Sheng came out with a bowl of noodles and looked at the two people from the kitchen. “Mom, I made some handmade noodles. There’s more in the pot. If you two are hungry, eat some!”

Huo Ci reached out to wipe the strawberry crumbs off Nangong Lengyu’s mouth and asked her gently, “Want some?”

Nangong Lengyu nodded, of course she did. Her daughter’s cooking was delicious no matter what she made.

However, ever since she came back, she had been going out everyday. She went out early in the morning and only came back at night. When she asked her where she was going, she said that she was going to see her friends. Actually, she was going to look for Ah Yan and Xiaoqi.

However, Ah Yan, that bastard, did not remember anything and even disliked her now. Every time, she would be rejected.

Huo Ci scooped a bowl of noodles and brought it out. Looking at the wretched girl eating the noodles, he snorted unhappily. “Third Master Jun is a human and we are not? Look at the food you made for him and then look at the food you made for us!”

Nangong Lengyu glanced at him. Who’s not human? You’re not human!

Ling Sheng, who was already in a bad mood, took a deep breath and swallowed her words, not daring to say them out loud. She only mumbled, “Aren’t I eating the same food? Not like I ate alone behind your back.”

Nangong Lengyu looked at Huo Ci. “If you’re not eating, then leave.”

Her daughter was already very upset, yet he kept adding to her troubles. Although he was telling the truth, she felt sour in her heart when she saw how busy her daughter was. She woke up early in the morning, bought food, and cooked.

Huo Ci stopped talking and placed a bowl of noodles in front of her. He even reminded her, “You’re not allowed to add chili oil.”

Nangong Lengyu smiled and nodded. She then looked carefully at her daughter, who was enjoying her noodles, and asked, “Have you seen Ah Yan?”

Who was Ah Yan? If he didn’t want to see anyone in the capital or even in China, even if you went to the door every day, you wouldn’t be able to see him.

There was nothing she and Huo Ci could do about this matter. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame the power and influence that he has. If Ah Yan was an ordinary person, everything would be fine.

“No,” Ling Sheng replied casually. She paused for a moment before saying, “I’m not going there to look for him. I’m looking for Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi ate all the food that was sent over.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ci finally felt a little better. He was afraid that this good-for-nothing would try to curry favor with that bastard Third Master Jun. He had no objections if it was given to the rascal.

“Dad, are there any job openings?” As Ling Sheng ate, she suddenly looked up at Huo Ci.

Huo Ci glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and said in disdain, “Why? Are you starting to look for a job and not a man?”

Ling Sheng grinned. “Dad, look at what you’re saying. You’re looking down on me too much. Is there nothing but men in my life? How is earning money less important than useless men?”

Upon seeing that she had finally thought things through, Huo Ci heaved a sigh of relief as well. He felt much more at ease. Judging from her actions over the past two days, she looked like she had been tortured by love until she was half-dead. She did not look like his daughter at all.

There were scripts, and there were quite a few of them. Huo Ci had asked Zuo Ming to go to the company to get them. He would let her choose whatever she wanted to film. She was willful when she had the resources, connections, and a good father.

After looking at it for a long time, Ling Sheng finally chose a script called “The Sky”.

After Huo Ci read the summary, he was so angry that he swore. Pointing at her, he said angrily, “Ling Sheng, is your brain damaged after you transmigrated back? This show is of the boys’ love genre that has been modified. As the female lead, aren’t you afraid of being scolded by the fans?”

Ling Sheng looked at him innocently and said weakly, “I don’t want to play the female lead. I want to be Tang Song’s sister.”

This script was adapted from a very popular online novel. However, it wasn’t easy to portray the characters. The scriptwriter modified it and added a female lead in.

It was foreseeable that if they filmed it, they would definitely be scolded by the original writer.

Whoever dared to take on this show as the female lead was definitely someone with a strong character.

Nangong Lengyu tugged at Huo Ci to calm him down. She then pointed at her phone and showed him the two male leads, Ji Fanchen and Cheng Ye that she had just found.

When Huo Ci saw the names of the two of them, he frowned, but he was not that angry anymore. He only tried to reason with her. “Tang Song’s sister is only the third or fourth female lead. I want you to be the female lead in the first drama that you filmed in this world. You’ll be famous overnight. Think about what you want.”

Ling Sheng looked at her father with abnormal determination and said firmly, “Dad, I want a friend.”

The Gu residence was a garden-like building and had a good environment. However, Jun Shiyan did not like it to be brightly lit at home. At night, all the lights would be turned off, leaving only a few street lamps by the roadside.

The entire house was filled with trees, and it was pitch black. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. It felt a little scary.

It was already 11 pm.

An Yan saw the man coming back and bowed slightly. “Third Master.”

Jun Shiyan lowered his voice and looked in the direction of his son’s bedroom. “Is Ah Qi asleep?”

An Yan said, “It has been quiet for a long time. When I saw him half an hour ago, he had already fallen asleep and had eaten dinner. He didn’t make a fuss or cry or do anything unusual.”

Jun Shiyan nodded in satisfaction, it seemed like he had done the right thing. A child was a child after all. How good could his memory be? After some time, he would definitely forget about his mother and grandfather.

An Yan stood at the side and watched the man quietly push the door open and enter. He sighed in his heart. No matter what, the Third Master was a good father and he loved the Young Master.

However, every family had its own problems. The sudden change in Young Master and the sudden appearance of his biological mother had disrupted the originally peaceful family and Third Master’s heart. The Third Master was probably anxious to protect the Young Master, which was why he resorted to such extreme means.

Jun Shiyan entered the bedroom. It was dark. Even the small night lamp that was usually switched on was switched off. His son was afraid of the dark. When he slept, he always had to turn on a small lamp before he could sleep peacefully.

On the bed, there was a small lump under the blanket, it looked like there was someone inside. However, the large open window and the cold wind blowing in clearly told him that there was no one under the blanket.

Jun Shiyan shouted coldly, “An Yan, where is Ah Qi?”

An Yan ran in hurriedly and was blown by the cold wind, he instantly had a bad feeling. He lifted the blanket and saw that there was no one on the bed. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. “I’ve been guarding the door. Young Master was in the room and never left.”

Jun Shiyan had already walked to the window. He looked down from the window and pulled up a rope on the windowsill. His gaze was dark and dangerous.

“Third Master, I’ll arrange for someone to find Young Master immediately.” An Yan knew that he made a mistake. He looked at the man standing by the window with a murderous aura and was so scared that his scalp tightened.

The Young Master used that rope to escape from the second floor!

He had always treated Young Master as a child, but little did he know that he wasn’t an ordinary child.. He was the Third Master’s child!
