Chapter 238: Childish Game
Xiaoqi had only gone out to have fun with his grandparents and mother before. This was something he had dreamed of. He was overjoyed, but he tried his best not to show too much excitement. He lay on Lu Yubai’s back, glancing at his mother and grandpa from time to time as he smiled foolishly.
Lu Yubai did not know why Sixth Brother had followed them. He had been shopping for a long time without saying a word or making any useful suggestions. Instead, he emitted the cold air of a person that was not to be trifled with, causing the shop a.s.sistants to not dare approach him or talk to him.
Ling Sheng changed into a suit and looked at him with a smile. “Father, do you think this outfit looks nice?”
Huo Ci said coldly, “No.”
Lu Yubai dragged Ling Sheng away. “You’re good-looking, you’re really good-looking. Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. There’s something wrong with his taste.”
Ling Sheng said, “Uncle, my father doesn’t like shopping.”
Lu Yubai, on the other hand, saw right through him. “Forget it. Your father can’t bear to see you treat me well. Look at his character. It’s fine if he doesn’t treat you well, but he doesn’t allow others to treat you well either. He’s unreasonable.”
After Ling Sheng felt a jolt, she started to remember. That seemed to be the case. He was jealous! Ha ha ha!
“Sixth Brother, Xiaoqi wants to play in the ball pit. Take him with you. I’ll buy clothes for Sheng Sheng.” Lu Yubai disliked his bad temper and wanted to send him away. He dragged Xiaoqi out of the fitting room. Children were not interested in shopping, and their stamina was limited. They would fall asleep standing there.
“What’s a ball pit?” Huo Ci frowned. F*ck, why is he so troublesome?
“I don’t know either. Xiaoqi knows. Let him take you there.” Lu Yubai handed the little fella to him. “We’ll look for you after we’re done shopping.”
Huo Ci stood outside and looked at the group of people in the ball pit. There were both adults and children, and the noise made his head ache. His handsome face darkened. F*ck, what kind of d*mn game was this? Childish! Boring! It was a waste of time!
Xiaoqi ran in excitedly.
A staff member started to urge him. “Parents need to accompany their children. Sir, your son has already gone in. If you don’t go in, he can’t play.”
Huo Ci was speechless.
Xiaoqi waved excitedly. “Grandpa, Grandpa, come in quickly!”
The staff member was a young lady. When she saw the tall and well-built man in front of her, her face flushed with embarra.s.sment. So he was not his father, but his grandpa. What a young grandpa. “Sorry, sir.”
Huo Ci gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to call for his grandson to get out, he saw the little guy’s sparkling eyes. His heart softened as he followed him in.
F*ck, what kind of sin had he committed? Why was he playing such a childish game with him?
Xiaoqi walked up the slide skillfully and used his small arms to cushion his b.u.t.t. Then, he sat down and waved at Huo Ci. “Grandpa, I’m going down. Catch me!”
Huo Ci’s face was ashen. I’m not catching you! I’m not catching you!
When Xiaoqi slipped down, Huo Ci reached out and pulled him into his embrace without hesitation. The little fella grabbed his neck and smiled crisply. “Grandpa, Xiaoqi likes you the most.”
“Bootlicker!” Huo Ci let out a disdainful snort, but his lips curled up into a smile.
Fine, he would play with him for a while.
“Those clothes are not bad!” Lu Yubai saw a shop on the second floor from afar. The clothes on the mannequins were very pretty, so he pulled Ling Sheng over.
When they reached the shop’s entrance, Ling Sheng’s eyes narrowed. Then, she pulled him out and whispered, “Uncle, I don’t like these clothes. Let’s go to another shop!”
