The next morning, Huo Ci left on an empty stomach and stayed out for two days. He finally returned on the third night because he really missed Ling Sheng’s food. Her food was so delicious that any food he tried outside had lost its taste.

“You’re back.” Xiao Qi offered to carry his things voluntarily. His voice was still hoarse when he spoke.

Huo Ci frowned as he looked at the little boy who was trying to please him. Upon hearing his hoarse voice, Huo Ci felt a pang of inexplicable guilt.

“Ling Xiao Qi, come over and have your medicine.” Ling Sheng carried a bowl of fresh Chuanbei Stew out without shooting Huo Ci a look.

Angered, Huo Ci humphed before entering his room straightaway.

Good job!

Bravo!

She had the audacity to be angry and ignore him!

During dinner at night, Huo Ci did not appear. Xiao Qi gave Ling Sheng a look before saying, “Mommy.”

“Did you forget how he treated you on that day?” Ling Sheng took a look at the room’s door. Fine, it was his choice. Let him starve to death!

That said, she kept a portion of warmed food in the pot. As much as Huo Ci did not know how to respect himself, she could not be so petty!

Meanwhile, Huo Ci was watching a movie in the home theater. Although the volume was very low, he could not hear anything outside.

That little bootlicking child had skipped his usual dinner calls and it would be embarrassing for him to go out without being asked to. Anywhere in the world, which father would apologize to his daughter?
