Chapter 791 - Finding His Sense of Presence (1/2)

Nangong Lengyu had heard the whole conversation. How old was he already? How could he bully a child? Xiaoqi was only three years old. What did he have to be filial about? Did he lack arms or legs? To have a child serve him and peel melon seeds for him was too much!

Xiaoqi was obedient and prepared to peel melon seeds for his grandma on the other end. He wanted to be with her.

Huo Ci shot him a look and frowned. “Where are you going? Sit here and peel them!”

Nangong Lengyu was infuriated by his actions. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was an outsider, she would not have allowed him to bully Xiaoqi like this!

Xiaoqi peeled the melon seeds with great difficulty, but he did not know how to peel them. He could not do it properly, so he could only crack them in his mouth. After that, the melon seeds he cracked were covered in his saliva and he had even bitten some into two halves by accident. He placed them on a plate carefully.

Upon seeing all the saliva on the surface, Huo Ci’s brows kept knitting together more and more tightly. He was wondering if he should eat it later or not.

Xiaoqi was like a little squirrel and he cracked the seeds rather quickly too. Before long, he had made a small pile and passed it to him as though he was presenting a treasure. His childish voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears. “Granduncle, please eat.”

Huo Ci gave him a disdainful look and frowned. “You drooled all over them. Am I supposed to eat your saliva? I’m not eating them.”

Nangong Lengyu was so angry that she wanted to pick a fight with him. What kind of person was he? He wanted the baby to peel for him, but he still despised it afterward. Upon seeing the baby’s instantly disappointed and sad look, she smiled and said, “Xiaoqi, Grandma will eat. Come over here.”

Xiaoqi was immediately overjoyed. He got up and was about to run over to her, but Huo Ci pulled him into his embrace immediately. He snatched the melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth with his eyes closed. “Who said I’m not eating?”

By now, Ling Sheng could tell that her father had done it on purpose. Upon seeing that Xiaoqi wanted to be close to Auntie Yu, he felt resentful. Thus, he came up with various methods to order Xiaoqi and make his presence known!
