Chapter 368: He Discovered His Conscience
“Don’t worry, he can’t take you away,” Jun Shiyan comforted the boy gently. Then, he looked up and gave Huo Ci a cold look. “Mr. Huo, you don’t have to be related by blood to a child to be his father.”
Huo Ci could not pay any attention to him. He looked at the brat and said, “Ling Xiaoqi, are you leaving with him today or with me? If you leave with him, you’ll never come home.”
How could he be so shameless?
“Okay, you’re impressive!” Upon seeing him remain silent, Huo Ci turned around angrily to leave.
“Uncle!” Xiaoqi suddenly turned around and called out in a hoa.r.s.e voice. His long eyelashes were full of crystal-clear tears. He sniffled in grievance and sadness, and his red eyes widened as he opened his arms. “Hug me.”
Huo Ci thought, F*ck, he’s acting coquettishly. He had called that man Father, yet he dared to act coquettishly in front of him!
Upon seeing the child’s actions, Jun Shiyan felt an indescribable sense of loss. As he watched Huo Ci carry the child away, his thin lips moved slightly. “Mr. Huo, please watch your behavior. You won’t be so lucky next time.”
Huo Ci hugged Xiaoqi and let out a cold snort. Then, he turned to look at him with a murderous look in his eyes. “Third Master Jun, you should be glad that you’re not his father. If you were really his biological father, I would never let you walk out of here alive!”
Xiaoqi looked at the duo with his big eyes in confusion. In the end, his gaze landed on Jun Shiyan. He still remembered his embarra.s.sment when he had called him Father. His face reddened in embarra.s.sment as he said in a small voice, “Bye, Uncle Jun.”
When he saw him leave, Jun Shiyan’s hands, which were on his knees, tightened suddenly. Should he tell Sheng Sheng? If she knew about this, she would definitely be worried to death. He would let him go. It would be better not to tell her.
He would think of a way to get rid of the human traffickers. Not only for Xiaoqi, but also for millions of other children. He could not let these animals continue to do evil.

Su Xiyin returned to the old residence, worried that the duo would not be able to have dinner unless she returned home with her husband. However, her son had called to say that he would not be home for dinner that night and would be eating with Xiaoqi outside.
The old couple was watching television when they heard the door open. They turned around and saw Huo Ci carrying Xiaoqi in. Xiaoqi seemed tired and was sleeping soundly on his back.
Huo Ci felt very guilty, but he did not dare show it. After changing out of his shoes, he looked at Su Xiyin, who was getting up. “Mother, don’t walk if your legs are not well. He’s asleep. I’ll take him to wash up and put him to bed.”
Su Xiyin gave Xiaoqi, who was on his back, a strange look. “Why is he asleep? It shouldn’t be time to sleep yet. He usually isn’t that tired even after playing for an entire afternoon.”
“How can you compare the amus.e.m.e.nt park to an ordinary afternoon? Aren’t you tired after running the whole afternoon?” Afraid of being discovered, Huo Ci carried the boy to the washroom. “The two of you should sleep early too.”
Su Xiyin frowned. “Hubby, don’t you think there’s something off about Ci Er?”
Normally, he would not give Xiaoqi a shower. If Xiaoqi wanted to sleep with him, he would be kicked out eight out of ten times.
“What could be wrong? That sc.u.mbag has just discovered his conscience. He knows that he did something wrong in the past and wants to play the right role.” Huo Xiao smiled and comforted her. “That’s how things are between the two of them. After playing around, they’ve deepened their relationship. It’s not easy for him to act like a grandfather. Don’t worry about him.”
Su Xiyin thought about it and felt that this made sense. Ci Er had changed a lot recently. His att.i.tude toward Xiaoqi and Sheng Sheng had improved a lot, and he was no longer angry at them.
