Chapter 876: Running Forward
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng’s eyes widened abruptly. She did not say anything, but she hurriedly covered her own mouth and tugged at the woman. “Aunt Juan!”
How could they do this?
Aunt Juan was also a little baffled. If Sheng Sheng was a young unmarried maiden, she would not have said that. However, she already had a husband, so there was no need to beat around the bush with her. She whispered, “Isn’t your mother here? It’s all right.”
Ling Sheng had not expected to get roped into this mess so suddenly. She was running forward without turning back, thinking to herself, Aunt, are you being serious? Although I have given birth to a child before, my heart is really as pure as a piece of white paper.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” After saying that, Aunt Juan gave her an ambiguous look. “I have the recipe for making that wine. If you want it, I’ll make a copy for you and get your Uncle Xie to send it to your house.”
“I understand. You young people don’t use this.” Aunt Juan smiled as well and stole a look at Jun Shiyan again. “It’s better to be prepared.”
Ling Sheng stole a look at Jun Shiyan, who was waiting for her not far away, and shook her head. “Aunt Juan, thank you. I still don’t want it.”
“I understand.” Aunt Juan let out a low cough and smiled even more ambiguously. “You can also give the prescription to your mother.”
Ling Sheng initially wanted to reject her, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, she could not say no. She nodded, “Okay!”
Aunt Juan left and told her that she would get Uncle Xie to send the secret recipe over. He would be right there if they waited for a few minutes. She still had something to bring them.
Jun Shiyan looked at the young lady’s red face. When he walked over, she did not dare look at him directly. He was a little worried. “What did Auntie tell you?”
Ling Sheng hummed but shook her head, not daring to look at him. She was so embarrassed that she lowered her voice. “I didn’t say anything.”
“What can’t you tell me?” Jun Shiyan held her hand, but he happened to see Huo Ci carrying Xiaoqi out.
Huo Ci gave him a warning look, his eyes full of danger. Like a cold knife, they shot straight at him. He was even holding her hand. Was he courting death?
Upon sensing her father’s threat, Ling Sheng struggled a little but did not manage to break free. She did not struggle anymore and let him hold her. When she looked up, she smiled instantly and asked, “Father, are you done chatting?”
“Mhm,” Huo Ci answered. If they weren’t outside, he would have roared aloud long ago, F*ck! Let go of her now?!
Nangong Lengyu followed behind him. In front of outsiders, she did not want to flare up or get angry with him. She would appear too ungracious. Naturally, she could not do such a childish thing such as snatching a child.
Besides, ever since he had eaten and taken Xiaoqi to the washroom, he had been hugging him and did not let go again. Even if she wanted to snatch him away, she had to have a chance!
Xiaoqi hugged Grandpa’s neck, his eyes full of happiness. Grandpa was so nice today. He was not being fierce or scolding anyone anymore. He really liked this kind of grandpa.
Nangong Lengyu walked in front of the duo but did not speak either. She dragged Ling Sheng right to her side and then glared at Jun Shiyan.
Jun Shiyan smiled helplessly. When he met her reproachful gaze, he sighed deeply in his heart. Why did he feel that it was getting harder and harder for him?
Ling Sheng turned around quietly and met the man’s helpless and pitiful gaze. She gave him a comforting smile.
An Yan had been following them the whole time. The Sixth Master was carrying Xiaoqi, and Ms. Nangong had snatched Ms. Ling away from the Third Master. They were all in pairs, and only Master was all alone. He looked quite miserable.
Why did he feel that the Third Master’s pursuit of his wife was becoming more and more difficult? Initially, when he had found out that Ms. Nangong was Ms. Ling’s biological mother, he had felt that his Master had finally made it to his happiness.
However, it seemed like although Ms. Nangong was still nice to him, she did not seem to be that friendly to her future son-in-law.
When Ling Sheng reached home, she ran over and asked Huo Ci quietly, “Father, do you feel anything special?”
“Do you put poison at the banquets in your hometown?” Huo Ci was at home, so his words were not that polite anymore. He gave her a look.
“No.” Ling Sheng retreated with a smile. “I’m glad you’re fine.”
Huo Ci kept feeling that the brat was smiling very meaningfully. What was she up to? What did she want to ask?
In normal times, he would definitely capture her and interrogate her. However, they were outside now, and there was even someone he did not want to see the most. He could only hold it in.
He had come after thinking it through. Now that the brat had a choice, it might not necessarily have to be him. However, he definitely had to get custody of her and Xiaoqi.
Fifth Brother and the others had helped analyze the situation. The first thing he had to do to get his hands on the custody was not to lose his temper. He mustn’t lose his temper at the mother and son duo.
There were only two bedrooms at home. Originally, it had been planned that Ling Sheng and Nangong Lengyu would sleep in one room, while Jun Shiyan and Xiaoqi slept in the other.
However, now that Huo Ci had suddenly appeared out of the blue, it was not easy to assign the rooms anymore. It was a cold day, and there was not even a hotel in town. It would take three hours to leave the town, so they could only make do and sleep together for the night.
“Father, you can share a room with the Third Master!” Ling Sheng looked at Huo Ci and tried to negotiate. “It’s too cold in the living room, and there’s no air conditioner. The two of you can make do for the night. We’ll leave tomorrow.”
Then, she turned around and ran to her bedroom. They could decide how to divide the room up themselves. Anyway, she had already said it.
Huo Ci frowned and took a look at the bedroom. Then, he turned around to look at Jun Shiyan unhappily, his handsome face full of displeasure written on it.
Jun Shiyan smiled. “Father-in-law, I’ll just sleep on the sofa in the living room.”
There was a dangerous look in Huo Ci’s eyes as he let out a cold snort. “Who the f*ck is your father-in-law?!”
The smile on Jun Shiyan’s face remained. “Mr. Huo, do you want to throw me away after using me? Sheng Sheng said she’s going to the Su Family tomorrow. The family elder called me and asked me to go over too.”
Huo Ci choked. When he also thought about how Jun Shiyan had told him the truth today, he decided to let him off. He gave him a cold look and entered the bedroom without saying anything.
The doors of the two bedrooms were the same, and they were next to each other. The size of the rooms was about the same too. One was on the left, and the other was on the right. If one did not look carefully, one would easily enter the wrong room.
