Chapter 791: Finding His Sense of Presence
Nangong Lengyu had heard the whole conversation. How old was he already? How could he bully a child? Xiaoqi was only three years old. What did he have to be filial about? Did he lack arms or legs? To have a child serve him and peel melon seeds for him was too much!
Xiaoqi was obedient and prepared to peel melon seeds for his grandma on the other end. He wanted to be with her.
Huo Ci shot him a look and frowned. “Where are you going? Sit here and peel them!”
Nangong Lengyu was infuriated by his actions. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was an outsider, she would not have allowed him to bully Xiaoqi like this!
Xiaoqi peeled the melon seeds with great difficulty, but he did not know how to peel them. He could not do it properly, so he could only crack them in his mouth. After that, the melon seeds he cracked were covered in his saliva and he had even bitten some into two halves by accident. He placed them on a plate carefully.
Upon seeing all the saliva on the surface, Huo Ci’s brows kept knitting together more and more tightly. He was wondering if he should eat it later or not.
Xiaoqi was like a little squirrel and he cracked the seeds rather quickly too. Before long, he had made a small pile and pa.s.sed it to him as though he was presenting a treasure. His childish voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears. “Granduncle, please eat.”
Huo Ci gave him a disdainful look and frowned. “You drooled all over them. Am I supposed to eat your saliva? I’m not eating them.”
Nangong Lengyu was so angry that she wanted to pick a fight with him. What kind of person was he? He wanted the baby to peel for him, but he still despised it afterward. Upon seeing the baby’s instantly disappointed and sad look, she smiled and said, “Xiaoqi, Grandma will eat. Come over here.”
Xiaoqi was immediately overjoyed. He got up and was about to run over to her, but Huo Ci pulled him into his embrace immediately. He s.n.a.t.c.hed the melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth with his eyes closed. “Who said I’m not eating?”
By now, Ling Sheng could tell that her father had done it on purpose. Upon seeing that Xiaoqi wanted to be close to Auntie Yu, he felt resentful. Thus, he came up with various methods to order Xiaoqi and make his presence known!
Jun Shiyan could clearly feel that Huo Ci was only paying attention to Sister Yu and did not care about him at all. In short, in front of Sister Yu, he served no sense of existence, like he was invisible.
The pot and ingredients were already on the table. Ling Sheng took a few empty bowls and small plates from the cupboard. When she turned around, her feet suddenly slipped and she lost her footing.
No matter how agile she was, she was still unable to react in time. Upon seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, she closed her eyes subconsciously.
Jun Shiyan saw that the young lady was about to fall to the ground. Given his distance, it was too late for him to rush over to catch her. His eyes darkened abruptly. The moment his body flew over, he bent down and lay under her.
Ling Sheng had not expected that when she was about to make intimate contact with the floor, someone would appear underneath her.
Due to the problem of inertia, her whole face rammed into a handsome face right in front of her. When she fell, the force was very strong. Her head hit his head directly, and her teeth also landed on his lips in pa.s.sing.
Jun Shiyan was right under her, and the tip of his nose was clearly filled with the fresh fragrance from the young lady.
Ling Sheng’s heart raced too. In just a few seconds, it felt like a century had pa.s.sed. When she saw blood oozing out of the man’s cracked lips, she felt that it carried an indescribably s.e.xy charm. Even more so, the expression in his eyes were like hooks that tugged at her heartstrings.
Bang! The moment the bowl in his hand shattered due to the imbalance, it also pulled the duo’s imagination back to the present.
Sounds of footsteps approached from the door.
