Ling Sheng picked up her phone with great difficulty and switched on the video. She pretended to be extremely weak and said in a hoarse voice, âFather.â
Huo Ci had been about to scold her, but when he saw her half-dead state, he could not remember what heâd wanted to scold her for. He blurted out, âDo you still feel unwell?â
Ling Sheng nodded and pretended to be even weaker. She said weakly, âI feel terrible.â
Huo Ci did not know why, but his heart ached when he saw this. âWhereâs your dinner? What did you eat?â
Ling Sheng said weakly, âI didnât eat anything. I donât want to eat.â
Huo Ciâs heart ached even more, and he felt even more annoyed. âWhereâs Jun Shiyan? Is this how he takes care of someone? Is he there? Let him talk to me.â
Ling Sheng thought, Why is your attitude so good now? Donât you hate him? Why are you looking for him?
âThe Third Master is not here. Iâm alone.â
She was lying.
Jun Shiyan asked, âSheng Sheng, do you want your eggs fully cooked or sunny side up?â
Ling Sheng saw her fatherâs handsome face darken suddenly. He gritted his teeth. âYou brat, I knew you werenât telling the truth.â
Ling Sheng chuckled. âFather, he just arrived. Heâs cooking in the kitchen.â
Huo Ci sneered and mocked him. âThird Master Jun knows how to cook? He canât cook sh*t for you!â
Ling Sheng despised him but did not dare show it. In a soft voice, she retorted, âCan you be more civilized? The Third Master cooks quite well. Heâs a better cook than me. When we get back, Iâll have him cook for you.â
Huo Ci asked, âWhereâs Huo Xuanzhou?â
Ling Sheng said, âHe has something to do, so heâll be late.â
Huo Ci said, âLet me warn you. If you dare stay alone with Third Master Jun, I wonât let him off.â
Ling Sheng nodded. Ever since she had gotten sick, she had become even more adorable. âOkay, Third Master will leave after cooking.â
Huo Ci said, âI didnât tell your grandparents. Now that youâre half-dead, donât talk to them, alright?â
Ling Sheng replied, âYes.â
Sigh... Her father finally behaved like a father. It was rare, really rare. She was almost moved to tears.
Huo Ci said, âGive Third Master Jun your phone. Iâll talk to him.â
Ling Sheng was very obedient. She called Third Master Jun over and gave him her phone.
How had the Third Master convinced her father? Although he found fault in everything, he had tacitly agreed to let the Third Master take care of her.
Jun Shiyan walked to the window.
Ling Sheng was a curious person. She secretly braced herself against the wall and followed him, wanting to hear what the duo had to say and what kind of unspeakable deal they had made.
However, the Third Master had turned off the speakerphone, so she could not hear her father. She only heard him reply a few times before he hung up.
Jun Shiyan turned around and saw that the young lady was acting like a rabbit. She turned around and ran, but she did not have the energy to do so. After she took two steps, her body swayed, and he quickly stepped forward to hold her waist. In a low, sexy voice, he asked, âDo you want to know what we said that much?â
Ling Sheng let out a low cough and allowed the man to pick her up. She shook her head. âI donât want to.â
Jun Shiyan smiled.
Then, he saw the young lady blink her big eyes at him gently and gesture with her fingers. âJust a little.â
She still wanted to know.
âSince itâs only a little, forget it!â Jun Shiyan teased her. Upon seeing the young ladyâs face wither, he smiled and said, âYour father asked me to take good care of you.â
Ling Sheng did not believe him. Her father was not such a considerate person. He looked as though he was lying. She turned her face away and did not look at him anymore.
