Ling Sheng glared at him angrily and was ready to hit him.
Huo Ci compromised. His handsome face was ashen as he gritted his teeth. âIâll buy you ten Hermes bags of the latest design you saw last week.â
Ling Sheng slapped his hand away, finally feeling a little proud. She let out a low cough. âThereâs also a new LV design. I want the red one.â
âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll buy you one of each color, alright?â Huo Ci heaved a sigh of relief. If his parents found out that he had drunk alcohol with Xiaoqi, they would break his legs.
Xiaoqi looked at Grandpa and then at Mommy. He tilted his head and thought for a long time before he finally regained his senses. He pouted with teary eyes. My heart hurts. Mommy sold her baby for a bag.
Ling Sheng, who was satisfied, stopped complaining. Upon seeing her fatherâs timid look, she wanted to laugh at him. She held in her laughter and asked, âWill you drink with Xiaoqi again in the future?â
Huo Ciâs face darkened, and he was in a terrible mood. However, he did not dare act arrogantly. âI told you, I didnât give it to him! He drank the wine when I turned around!â
âWill you take Xiaoqi out to drink again in the future?â When she saw his aggrieved look, Ling Shengâs heart was overjoyed. She thus repeated herself.
âNo!â Huo Ci gritted his teeth. He might as well kill the duo. Were the days he was living even considered a human life?
Ling Sheng was finally satisfied.
Upon hearing Ling Shengâs shout, Huo Xiao ran over hurriedly and pushed the door open. âMy good granddaughter, whatâs wrong? Did your father bully you again?â
Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly and smiled. âNo, Grandpa. You and Grandma should go to bed quickly!â
Huo Xiao shot her a skeptical look before pointing at Huo Ci. âBehave yourself. If you dare bully my granddaughter, Iâll slap you to death.â
Huo Ciâs face was full of tears as he clasped his hands together and pleaded. âFather, go to bed quickly!â
Forget it.
Talking about it would only result in tears.
No more talking, no more talking. It was his fault anyway.
Upon seeing her grandpa leave, Ling Sheng told her son, âMy good son, shall we go to bed?â
Xiaoqi looked at his mother with teary eyes. He pouted and wanted to cry. âMommy, is Xiaoqi better than that bag?â
Ling Sheng was stunned. She had not expected the child to take it to heart. âXiaoqi, of course. Mommy loves you the most.â
Huo Ci smiled gloatingly and gave the child a light blow. âYour mother likes bags more than you.â
Hereâs some retribution, brat!
Xiaoqi felt even sadder. His eyes were red as he sniffled. âMommy, is Grandpa telling the truth?â
Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly. Upon seeing that her son was about to cry, she hurriedly hugged him and coaxed him. âThatâs a lie. Mommy only said she wanted a bag because she didnât want your grandpa to get beaten up. Youâre Mommyâs heart.â
Then, she gave him a big kiss to prove that she was telling the truth.
âOkay.â Xiaoqi finally stopped crying and smiled. He hugged her neck and rubbed it. His adorable puppy-like appearance made oneâs heart melt.
Ling Sheng carried Xiaoqi to bed.
Upon seeing that the duo was about to disappear, Huo Ci shouted, âYou brat, close the door!â
Huo Xiao happened to pass by and took a look inside. Then, he said faintly, âDo you want me to close the door for you?â
Huo Ci jumped out of bed hurriedly and smiled apologetically. âNo need, no need. Go rest early, father. Iâll do it myself.â
Sigh!
He had definitely committed a sin. That brat should move out and get as far away from him as possible!
