Chapter 332: The Hidden Beauty
When An Yan had said that the Third Master doted on Ms. Ling, he had thought it was an exaggeration. How could that be? The Third Master was not that kind of person.
Now, he really wanted to tell An Yan that he had been too kind. How was this doting? He was simply doting on her to the heavens and putting her first in his heart!
Ling Sheng’s food was so delicious that it made one have an appet.i.te just by looking at her. One look and one would really want to eat her food.
Jun Shiyan looked at her and felt tempted. He said gently, “Sheng Sheng, can I have a bite?”
When Ling Sheng turned around, she happened to see the man’s slender neck. As he swallowed dryly, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, making her get fl.u.s.tered. She hurriedly looked away and said firmly, “No!”
Upon seeing her gorge herself, Jun Shiyan subconsciously licked his lips and tried to negotiate. “Just a small bite?”
When she saw the man lick his lips, Ling Sheng felt extremely tempted. Her heart raced instantly, and her voice tensed up. “No, the mala is too spicy and numbing. Besides, this prawn is not delicious at all. I’ll make you something better another day.”
Xu Xi held back his thought. Who would believe you?
While he was thinking, he heard the Third Master let out a long, resentful sigh. “Where’s my pig’s brain?”
Ling Sheng was stunned.
Xu Xi pursed his lips and kept smiling. When the Third Master was with Miss Ling, it was really fun to watch. Could he request to stay with the Third Master and not change places with An Yan?
When they got out of the car, Jun Shiyan grabbed Ling Sheng’s wrist and looked up at her. “There’s no one at home. Why can’t I come?”
Ling Sheng hesitated for a moment. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw her father’s a.s.sistant, Chen Xiu, waiting at the entrance of the condominium. She hurriedly struggled to free herself from his hand, turned around, and ran. Meanwhile, she muttered, “It’s not my house. I can’t make that decision!”
Xu Xi looked at Ling Sheng, who was outside the car window, with a strange expression. The Third Master had asked Yu Zheng to check on Ms. Ling’s specific relationship with Huo Ci. She was the distant niece mentioned.
However, this relationship could be changed however one wanted it to. After all, Sixth Master Huo and the Rong Family were above him. If he wanted to change the family members on the household register, he could hide some things from others. It would be as easy as drinking water.
As for Xiaoqi’s background, Ms. Ling had told the Third Master herself. Xu Xi did not know, nor did he dare find out. He only knew that Master had started doting on Ms. Ling even more after finding out.
Not long after Chen Xiu arrived, Ling Sheng ran over and greeted him.
“Hi, Ms. Ling.”
It would be inappropriate for Ling Sheng to make him wait downstairs. “Let’s go up and have some tea!”
Xu Xi watched helplessly as Ling Sheng led Huo Ci’s a.s.sistant upstairs. Through the rearview mirror, she saw the Third Master’s face darken instantly. An old man’s jealousy could not be provoked!
Ling Sheng went to find the pa.s.sport and spoke to her father on the phone. “There’s nothing here. I’ve searched 800 times. Do you want me to record a video for you?”
Huo Ci said, “Are you blind? I put it in that drawer. Look again!”
Enraged, Ling Sheng switched on the video camera and let him see for himself. She moved the phone close to the drawer. “See if you can find it. Is it there?”
Huo Ci frowned and let out a low cough. “It’s in the house. Look for it properly. Don’t mess this up, do you hear me?”
Ling Sheng nodded. “I understand! Are you sure you don’t have it?”
Huo Ci said, “No, it’s in the house. I might have misplaced it. Search carefully.”
Ling Sheng searched the whole house but did not find it. In the end, she took a locked mahogany box out of the bedside table. It was not big and it looked a little old. It should be where the valuables were kept.
The lock was the most ordinary kind. She took a small black card and opened it. When she lifted it, she frowned.
There was a man’s wallet inside. It was Hermes. Although it was old, it looked quite new. Unconsciously, she opened the wallet.
There was a photo in it. The person in the photo was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. Their casual and elegant appearance was extremely cool. At first glance, this person looked like a handsome young man who was so beautiful that his gender was indeterminable. She was so scared that her hand trembled and she nearly dropped the photo.
