Chapter 237: Mind Your Old Man
Xiaoqi watched as his mother and the new uncle chatted happily. Grandpa seemed unhappy. He stood up and picked up a piece of sashimi, placing it on a small plate. In a crisp voice, he said, “Grandpa, eat.”
Huo Ci was about to cry. He had doted on this brat for nothing. Look at that heartless brat sitting opposite him. She only knew how to please outsiders!
After the meal, Lu Yubai was completely won over by Ling Sheng’s culinary skills. He half lay on the sofa as he said, “Sixth Brother, what kind of G.o.dly culinary skills does Sheng Sheng have? Even I would be willing to go home to eat every day, let alone you.”
“Get lost if you’re full!” Huo Ci kicked him in disdain and frowned. “How did you get in?”
Lu Yubai took out a card. “You got drunk last time.”
Thankfully, he had lost his card and he had come over. Otherwise, how could he have eaten such delicious food? Although it was supposed to be a common home-cooked meal, that was not exactly the case. It was much better than the few private restaurants he frequently visited!
No, he had to think of a way to come over frequently to scrounge food.
Huo Ci took a look at the card and looked in the direction of the kitchen out of the corner of his eye. It wasn’t the brat who had let him in. He knew she would not have the guts.
After the meal, Ling Sheng served Lu Yubai a small dessert and frozen yogurt. She had made all of this herself, which moved Lu Yubai so much that he called her a fairy-like daughter. G.o.d, please give him a pile of them!
“My dear niece, this is the first time we’ve met. I didn’t bring you any gifts. Shall I take you shopping?” Lu Yubai rested on his hand lazily as he lay on the sofa and smiled at Ling Sheng.
“Uncle, I’m already very happy that you’re here. Why would I need a gift?” Ling Sheng smiled sweetly.
“No, you have to get a welcome gift.” Lu Yubai insisted and patted Xiaoqi, who was lying beside him. “Xiaoqi, come with us. Uncle will buy you clothes and toys. You can buy whatever you want, alright?”
Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly, his big black eyes sparkling with antic.i.p.ation. “Then can I play on the slide and go in the ball pit?”
Lu Yubai nodded. “Of course, it’s not a problem!”
Huo Ci returned to his room to take an afternoon nap. When he heard the occasional laughter outside, he held his breath. Look, the two brats were each more capable than the other. They were flattering their uncle and trying to please him. He provided them with food and accommodation, but why had he never seen them treat him so well?
“Sixth Brother, I’m taking Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi to the mall. You can come with us!” Lu Yubai knocked on the door and spoke.
“Scram! I won’t go!” Huo Ci bellowed.
Lu Yubai frowned. If he was not going, so be it. Why was he throwing a tantrum?
Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi changed clothes, put on their matching parent-child clothes, and wore their sungla.s.ses. They were very eye-catching, and Lu Yubai was very satisfied with the way they looked. It was a pretty good match.
They had just walked out when they saw Huo Ci following them. Lu Yubai was baffled. “Didn’t you say you weren’t going?”
Huo Ci gritted his teeth in anger. “Mind your business!”
Lu Yubai was speechless.
You’re my brother. Whatever you say is right!
There were four people in the group, and three of them were public figures. Huo Ci and Lu Yubai were particularly eye-catching. Even though they were wearing sungla.s.ses and masks, their figures and temperament made them attract attention wherever they went. Many girls stared at them.
Huo Ci was the easiest to recognize. Along the way, a few people pointed at Lu Yubai and asked if his companion was Best Actor Huo. Some people even approached him to ask for his autograph, but they were all dismissed by Ling Sheng.
