Chapter 40 (1/2)

“Aunt.” Ling Xiao Qi’s big eyes shone as he stared at Ling Sheng.

“Okay.” Ling Sheng could not bear to say no to her dear son. She pinched his tender cheeks before looking at Su Xiyin. “I shall trouble you then, Auntie. I’ll pay you that money separately.”

“Money’s not an urgent issue.” Su Xiyin’s voice sounded joyful.

The little child hooked his finger around hers in secret, his soft touch instantly warming her heart and reminding her of Ci Er’s toddler years.

He had been just as adorable.

Meanwhile, Ling Sheng was speaking to Su Xiyin.

Ling Xiao Qi’s big eyes blinked mischievously at Su Xiyin, which earned him a strike on the head from Mommy before he finally bowed seriously before Su Xiyin. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’m very well-behaved. I won’t cause you much trouble.”

In the past, when Mommy had been out working, his maternal grandmother had looked after him.

The granny in front of him emitted a similar feeling of warmth as his maternal grandma, which he liked.

Entertained by the serious look of the child, Su Xiyin laughed and reached out to tease him. “In that case, it’s nice to meet you, Xiao Qi.”

Ling Xiao Qi reached out to hold her hand ceremoniously. “Nice to meet you, Grandma.”

The duo’s interaction made Ling Sheng chuckle. “Alright, Xiao Qi. It’s late already. Let’s take Grandma down!”

Su Xiyin had taken advantage of Ling Sheng’s distraction and texted her chauffeur, Old Chen. She had ordered him to leave as soon as possible and not wait for her to prevent her identity from being exposed.

Her real identity could not be discovered by the mother and son. As the famous saying goes, “Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were enemies in a past life.”

She had to get on the good side of Sheng Sheng while she was still in the dark.

Thus, when their relationship was exposed later, Sheng Sheng and Xiao Qi would continue to be close to her.

She would not disclose to Ci Er that she knew he was keeping a woman and a child in his apartment.

The same applied to the Old Man at home.

She would settle the score after that brat was back from filming.

Ling Sheng and Ling Xiao Qi took Su Xiyin to the condo entrance and hailed a taxi for her. They only left after watching the car drive away.
