Chapter 790 - Being Close To An Outsider (2/2)

Nangong Lengyu hugged Xiaoqi by her side and patted his little head. She didn’t know if he had understood, but he was also smiling so happily.

Upon seeing Xiaoqi run over to her side, Huo Ci frowned and said coldly, “Ling Xiaoqi, give me some melon seeds.”

Hence, Xiaoqi wriggled his tiny butt along the sofa like a small worm. When he reached the middle, he reached out with his small arms and passed the seeds to Huo Ci. Then, he turned around as he wanted to return to his grandma’s embrace.

“I can’t reach them. Come closer.” Huo Ci’s voice became several degrees colder. That stinky brat! Who usually fed him, took care of him and brought him out to play? How could he be so close to an outsider?

Xiaoqi wriggled his tiny butt closer yet again.

Huo Ci still did not reach out his hands. He turned his head around and gave him a sideways look. “Come in front of me!”

Xiaoqi stood up and ran two steps before placing the plate beside his hands. He turned around to leave, but Huo Ci grabbed his arm and trapped him. “Peel the melon seeds.”

Xiaoqi looked at him seriously. “Granduncle, I’m a baby.”

Huo Ci said, “You heartless thing. Have you forgotten what you said this morning? Who said he would wait on me in the future?”

“But Xiaoqi is a baby now,” Xiaoqi frowned. Grandpa was bullying a baby!

“So, babies don’t have to be filial to their elders?” Huo Ci asked.

Xiaoqi was stumped. After thinking for a long time, he felt that Grandpa was very right. He nodded. “Xiaoqi is filial to Granduncle.”
