Xiaoqi had only gone out to have fun with his grandparents and mother before. This was something he had dreamed of. He was overjoyed, but he tried his best not to show too much excitement. He lay on Lu Yubaiâs back, glancing at his mother and grandpa from time to time as he smiled foolishly.
Lu Yubai did not know why Sixth Brother had followed them. He had been shopping for a long time without saying a word or making any useful suggestions. Instead, he emitted the cold air of a person that was not to be trifled with, causing the shop assistants to not dare approach him or talk to him.
Ling Sheng changed into a suit and looked at him with a smile. âFather, do you think this outfit looks nice?â
Huo Ci said coldly, âNo.â
Lu Yubai dragged Ling Sheng away. âYouâre good-looking, youâre really good-looking. Donât listen to your fatherâs nonsense. Thereâs something wrong with his taste.â
Ling Sheng said, âUncle, my father doesnât like shopping.â
Lu Yubai, on the other hand, saw right through him. âForget it. Your father canât bear to see you treat me well. Look at his character. Itâs fine if he doesnât treat you well, but he doesnât allow others to treat you well either. Heâs unreasonable.â
After Ling Sheng felt a jolt, she started to remember. That seemed to be the case. He was jealous! Ha ha ha!
âSixth Brother, Xiaoqi wants to play in the ball pit. Take him with you. Iâll buy clothes for Sheng Sheng.â Lu Yubai disliked his bad temper and wanted to send him away. He dragged Xiaoqi out of the fitting room. Children were not interested in shopping, and their stamina was limited. They would fall asleep standing there.
âWhatâs a ball pit?â Huo Ci frowned. F*ck, why is he so troublesome?
âI donât know either. Xiaoqi knows. Let him take you there.â Lu Yubai handed the little fella to him. âWeâll look for you after weâre done shopping.â
Huo Ci stood outside and looked at the group of people in the ball pit. There were both adults and children, and the noise made his head ache. His handsome face darkened. F*ck, what kind of d*mn game was this? Childish! Boring! It was a waste of time!
Xiaoqi ran in excitedly.
A staff member started to urge him. âParents need to accompany their children. Sir, your son has already gone in. If you donât go in, he canât play.â
Huo Ci was speechless.
Xiaoqi waved excitedly. âGrandpa, Grandpa, come in quickly!â
The staff member was a young lady. When she saw the tall and well-built man in front of her, her face flushed with embarrassment. So he was not his father, but his grandpa. What a young grandpa. âSorry, sir.â
Huo Ci gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to call for his grandson to get out, he saw the little guyâs sparkling eyes. His heart softened as he followed him in.
F*ck, what kind of sin had he committed? Why was he playing such a childish game with him?
Xiaoqi walked up the slide skillfully and used his small arms to cushion his butt. Then, he sat down and waved at Huo Ci. âGrandpa, Iâm going down. Catch me!â
Huo Ciâs face was ashen. Iâm not catching you! Iâm not catching you!
When Xiaoqi slipped down, Huo Ci reached out and pulled him into his embrace without hesitation. The little fella grabbed his neck and smiled crisply. âGrandpa, Xiaoqi likes you the most.â
âBootlicker!â Huo Ci let out a disdainful snort, but his lips curled up into a smile.
Fine, he would play with him for a while.
âThose clothes are not bad!â Lu Yubai saw a shop on the second floor from afar. The clothes on the mannequins were very pretty, so he pulled Ling Sheng over.
When they reached the shopâs entrance, Ling Shengâs eyes narrowed. Then, she pulled him out and whispered, âUncle, I donât like these clothes. Letâs go to another shop!â
