Aside from that, Xu Xi also prepared an identical set of medicine and massage tools for Su Yi.
Upon seeing the neighbor and his assistant leave, Su Yi took a look at her gift and then at Ling Sheng, who kept staring at him. She nudged her and smiled ambiguously. “Why? Can’t bear to part with him?”
Ling Sheng let out a snort. She did not know why, but she had not felt anything when he had said he was leaving. But when he really left, she could not bear to part with him. Contrary to her true feelings, she spoke confidently, “How could that be? It’s not like we won’t meet in the future!”
Upon seeing her haughty expression, Su Yi smiled ruefully. “Yes, you’re pretty. Whatever you say is right. Anyway, you’re aware yourself who can’t bear to part with who.”
Didn’t couples in love want to stick together 24/7? However, Sheng Sheng was strange. She was afraid of her granduncle.
Logically speaking, Big Boss Huo was only her granduncle, not her parents. Why would she need her granduncle’s consent to have a boyfriend? She could not understand this world anymore.
Perhaps it was because Big Boss was the boss. When the company signed a contract, there were sometimes clear rules stating that one was not allowed to date for a certain period of time or before one reached a certain age.
It was fine for singers like them, but the requirements of actors were stricter. For example, if they were idols like Xiao Ye, it would be stated clearly that they were not allowed to date. If the relationship was exposed, it would be considered a breach of contract and they would have to pay a penalty fee.
Huo Ci did not go backstage to find Ling Sheng. He was very free, so he took Xiaoqi to the washroom. When he entered, Xiaoqi was waiting at the door.
Nangong Lengyu had come to support and ask for an autograph. She had come from the back door. From afar, she saw a fair-skinned child squatting at the washroom door. The child was squatting on the ground and playing with a Rubik’s Cube. It was Xiaoqi.
However, there was a rope around the child’s arm. Upon closer inspection, it was a dog leash.
Xiaoqi looked up and saw Nangong Lengyu. His big eyes shone with surprise as he stood up and ran over toward her. In a crisp, excited voice, he said, “Grandma!”
However, he had forgotten that there was still a rope around his arm. Before he had even taken two steps, he fell to the ground with a thump. His eyes were full of tears from the pain but he bit her lips and tried her best not to cry.
Huo Ci was washing his hands when the rope in his hand tightened. He instinctively pulled it back. When he turned his head around, he saw that the brat had fallen down. “Ling Xiaoqi, what are you doing? Why did you run?”
Grandma?
Hadn’t his grandma passed away long ago?
How could she come back alive?
Nangong Lengyu’s heart ached immensely. When she saw the dog leash on the little guy’s arm, she was so angry that her liver was trembling. Even without thinking, she knew that there was no one else who could do such a thing other than him. What kind of person was this? Was he watching the child or walking a dog?
Huo Ci was a little stunned by Xiaoqi’s call of “Grandma”. When he walked to the door, he saw Nangong Lengyu, who had already reached them. She squatted down to carry Xiaoqi, but his eyes turned cold suddenly. The instant he walked over, she grabbed her arm. “Let go.”
Upon seeing him, Nangong Lengyu got angry but tried her best to remain calm. Her eyes were cold as she looked at him mockingly. “Huo Ci, does Sheng Sheng know that you’re taking care of Xiaoqi this?”
Was he raising someone’s fine son like a dog?
Huo Ci let out a careless laugh and picked Xiaoqi up right away. “What does it have to do with you whether she knows or not?”
Xiaoqi did not know what was going on either. He did not dare to cry or make a sound. His face was flushed red from holding himself back. His palms and knees hurt so much.
