Chapter 1113: Caught Off Guard
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jun Shiyan was rendered speechless by his unreasonable and twisted logic, he did not know how a person could be so shameless. He only glanced at him coldly. “Mr. Huo, are you not planning to let him go?”
Huo Ci had an arrogant expression on his face that said ‘I’m not letting him go’. If he can, he would fight him one-on-one. He smiled provocatively at him. ‘Congratulations, you guessed correctly.’
Su Xiyin did not know what was going on between them, but the visitor was a guest. She glared at Huo Ci, telling him to shut up.
“Old Master Huo, I’m here to pick up my son. Do I need your whole family to agree?” Jun Shiyan did not want to argue with people like Huo Ci, so he looked at Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao thought for a while and said, “I think Sixth Brother is right. The child doesn’t want to go back with you. He’s afraid when he sees you. Did you abuse him before?”
Xiaoqi nodded vigorously as well. He could feel his father looking at him, and he laid timidly in Huo Ci’s arms. He looked at him with his big eyes and said weakly, “No he did not abuse me.”
Jun Shiyan thought that he had learned how to lie from the unreasonable members of the Huo family. Hearing that he still had some conscience in his words, he felt a little better. He looked at his son and let out a sigh of relief. “You’ve disturbed them long enough. Come home with me. If you want to come over to play another day, I’ll send you over.”
Xiaoqi looked at him with big eyes. “Really?”
“Yes,” Jun Shiyan answered in a low voice. Seeing that his son was wavering, his voice softened. “When have I ever lied to you?”
Xiaoqi was an obedient child and knew how to dote on others. It was not that he did not want to go home, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see his mother and the rest again after he returned home. Thinking about how pitiful his father was at home alone, he puffed up his cheeks and nodded. “Then… alright, I’ll go back with you.”
When Nangong Lengyu saw the little fellow hesitating, she made a decision as though she had made up her mind. She knew that the kid was soft-hearted and troubled, so she sighed in her heart.
Ah Yan had no memories now, so they could not force the child to stay.
After all, he didn’t know anything, it wasn’t his fault that he didn’t have any memories. Once he regained his memories, everything would be fine.
Xiaoqi wanted to leave, but Huo Ci was extremely unhappy and glared at the rascal.
This little traitor was exactly the same as his mother, he was willing to leave with him again. He despised him so much that he wanted to pull him out of her arms and throw him to the ground. In the end, he could not bear to do that and let him down.
“Xiaoqi, are you really leaving?” Ling Sheng was teary-eyed. Her son was too easily convinced and soft-hearted. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Jun Shiyan had spoken to him in a slightly better tone and bribed him successfully.
Xiaoqi ran over and whispered into her ear, “Mommy, don’t worry. I will convince Daddy and won’t let him stop me.”
If he did not go back, his father would definitely be very angry. He might even lock him up and never allow him to see his mommy, grandpa, grandma, and the rest again.
Jun Shiyan was about to leave with Xiaoqi. His family was reluctant to part with him, especially Su Xiyin and Huo Xiao. They felt terrible when they saw the little fellow leaving. The kid had just arrived, and he was about to leave before they had kissed him enough.
“Mr. Jun.” Xiao Hui walked up and greeted him warmly, “It’s almost time for dinner. Stay for a meal before leaving.”
Jun Shiyan had yet to speak when Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up as he turned around excitedly. “Sure!”
Jun Shiyan’s face darkened as he glanced at his son, seeing him so proactive. Didn’t he just want to stay in this house for a while longer?
Since Xiaoqi wanted to stay for dinner, Jun Shiyan naturally had to agree. He smiled politely and said, “I’ll have to trouble you then.”
Xiao Hui smiled like a flower. She looked at him and said, “It’s not troublesome at all.”
Having been sisters-in-law with her for so long, Jiang Meiyun naturally knew what she was up to. Seeing her eyes fixated on him, she probably wanted to get a rich husband!
She laughed coldly in her heart and felt even more disdainful. Why didn’t she take a look at whether she was worthy or not? She needs to have some self-awareness. Sometimes, what is yours will come to you eventually, there’s no need to force things!
Naturally, when Su Xiyin saw that her daughter-in-law was so enthusiastic, she must have had ulterior motives. However, she could not figure out why she wanted to keep him here.
The remaining two daughters-in-law, Ye Ru and Cao Yunxian, looked at each other knowingly. They had a good relationship with Xiao Hui and wanted to see Huo Ci make a fool of himself, so they helped make Jun Shiyan stay for dinner.
If the Fourth Brother’s family could really get what they wanted, they would teach the Sixth Brother a lesson. That arrogant att.i.tude of his made them very unhappy.
Ling Sheng had never expected this day to come so quickly. She had been caught off guard by her parents!
At the dining table, Huo Ci peeled prawns for Nangong Lengyu. He did not allow her to eat spicy, sour, or salty food. She could not eat anything that agitated her stomach.
Nangong Lengyu wanted to eat a piece of chicken. She wanted to take a piece when Huo Ci was not paying attention.
Huo Ci frowned and looked at her reproachfully. When he met the woman’s expectant gaze, his heart softened again. In the end, he scooped some into the soup bowl and placed it in her bowl. “Try it.”
Nangong Lengyu lowered her voice. “My stomach is much better now after drinking the medicine.”
Jun Shiyan was sitting beside the two of them. His only focus was on the food, and he felt that the chicken looked delicious, so he reached out his chopsticks to pick it up.
Just as he picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks, another pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared. The woman’s hands were long, fair, and beautiful. She was skillful with the chopsticks, and she directly cut off the chicken that he had picked up.
Ling Sheng nibbled on the chicken happily, pretending not to notice Jun Shiyan’s gaze on her. He was really impressive, did he not care about his stomach anymore? He even dared to touch the spicy food.
Jun Shiyan frowned slightly. Looking at the little woman’s smug look, he sighed. Forget it, there was no need to stoop to the level of an unreasonable and unruly woman.
But what happened next was the same. No matter what he tried to eat, the woman would s.n.a.t.c.h it away from him. Especially when it was something spicy, she would pretend to s.n.a.t.c.h it away from him and eat it herself. After that, she would act innocent as if she knew nothing.
Jun Shiyan looked at the little woman who was happily s.n.a.t.c.hing his food and was suspicious. Could it be that she knew that he had a weak stomach and deliberately s.n.a.t.c.hed his food?
But in this world, other than An Yan and the others, no one else knew that he had a bad stomach, not even his son.
Seeing that Jun Shiyan was about to finish the soup in his bowl, Xiao Hui quickly called out to Huo Feifei and secretly gave her a look.. She smiled and said, “Feifei, go take another bowl of soup for Third Master.”
