Chapter 880 - : I’ll Try It Too (1/2)

“Grandpa, I’m here.” Xiaoqi was as happy as a silly dog. He ran over immediately and reached for the bun.

“Have you washed your hands?” Huo Ci patted his hand away. Upon seeing the brat grin at him, he kindly picked one up and fed it to him. “Have you brushed your teeth?”

Xiaoqi took a big bite of the bun and mumbled, “I brushed it last night.”

“Why didn’t you say you brushed your teeth yesterday morning? Why are you so dirty? Did I teach you not to brush your teeth?” Huo Ci’s face was full of disdain.

Nangong Lengyu swept a look over and her gaze landed on Huo Ci. It was as cold as a knife. But when she looked at Xiaoqi, she was gentle and loving. “Xiaoqi, come over to Grandma.”

Xiaoqi took a look at his smiling grandma and then Grandpa, who was covered in cold air. He knew better than to move and did not go to her even though he wanted to. He muttered incoherently, “It doesn’t matter where Xiaoqi is. Grandma, hurry up and eat.”

Huo Ci was satisfied. He looked at the brat beside him with a face that clearly showed that he was proud of himself. He brought over a bowl of soft beancurd and added a big spoonful of sugar. “I’ve already added sugar to the beancurd for you. I added a bit more than usual.”

Xiaoqi’s big eyes sparkled. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Ling Sheng truly felt that her father was really childish, and not by a tiny bit either. He usually let Xiaoqi eat by himself, but he had even started feeding him today. He would not let Xiaoqi eat even if he wanted to.

When Nangong Lengyu left the town later, she would have to part with them. She would take Jun Shiyan’s plane home directly. Even if she wanted to, she did not have a chance to be close to Xiaoqi, as Huo Ci kept taking up the little fella’s time.

Besides, she had to admit that Xiaoqi’s relationship with Huo Ci was deeper than hers. The little fella liked Huo Ci a lot and also listened to him a lot. She felt a little jealous, but she could understand. After all, they had been together for more than half a year.

This way, if she wanted to snatch Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi back, she would face a lot of resistance. Huo Ci was part of the reason, as well as the two elders at home.

Xiaoqi had received an unprecedentedly superior treatment. He did not even have to walk on the streets anymore. Grandpa would carry him wherever he went. After dinner, he even took him to the bathroom to brush his teeth personally.

The little fella was so happy that he could not close his mouth. Grandpa was really nice today. If only Grandpa were this nice every day. He liked this kind of grandpa.

As a child, Xiaoqi did not know what he was up to, but Ling Sheng and the other two adults knew that he was winning Xiaoqi.

Nangong Lengyu did not even have a chance to hug Xiaoqi. She was furious inside. He had done it on purpose to prevent Xiaoqi from getting close to her. The older he got, the more childish he became!

Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan packed their things. There were specialties sent over by the auntie and uncle, as well as their own pickled vegetables, salted fish, cured meat, sausages, and preserved dried ribs.

Jun Shiyan picked up a piece of paper and looked at the words on it. “Five catties of wine, 100g of Cordyceps, deer antler…”

Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng turned around suddenly, her face turning completely red. She reached out to snatch the piece of paper. “Give it to me!”

Jun Shiyan had already raised his hand. The young lady could not reach it even if she jumped up. Upon seeing her anxious face turn red, he smiled and asked, “What’s this?”

Ling Sheng did not know if he had finished reading it, but she was both embarrassed and angry. She looked at him angrily and straightened her neck stubbornly. “Nothing!”

Jun Shiyan wanted to tease her. It was rare to see his young lady get so flustered. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Medicinal wine?”

“I don’t know!” Ling Sheng jumped up and tugged his arm downward with all her might. She did not know why the secret recipe Uncle Xie had sent over yesterday had landed among the specialties!

Jun Shiyan saw that the young lady was really about to get angry. At the instant he passed her the secret recipe, Jun Shiyan suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear, “The one Father-in-law drank yesterday?”
