Chapter 434: Heartbroken
Upon hearing that she was back, Huo Ci did not look at her kindly. He reached into the bag Xiaoqi was holding and picked up two fries.
That brat knew how to come back after causing trouble!
“Mommy.” Xiaoqi turned around excitedly and stuffed the fries in his hand into Grandpa’s hands before getting off the sofa to welcome her.
Ling Sheng picked Xiaoqi up and looked at the person on the sofa. “Father, are you going back tonight? Xiaoqi and I will go get the luggage.”
Huo Ci, who had been in a good mood, felt his anger rise when he heard her words. However, he could not say anything. He pretended to reply casually, “I don’t have time.”
Ling Sheng shot him a look. Big boss, you don’t have time to get the luggage? You only have time to lie on the sofa and watch television?
Xiaoqi greeted his mother and ran to sit with Grandpa excitedly. He even offered a small bag of steamed buns that he’d loved eating recently. “Grandpa, this is delicious.”
Ling Sheng took a look at her precious son and sighed. She did not know why her son liked his grandpa so much. His grandpa had never been nice to him.
Perhaps boys clung more to their father, especially when their father was handsome, talented, and fashionable. When they walked by their father’s side, they felt extremely cool.
At 8:30 in the evening, Xiaoqi had to go to bed. He had to get up early tomorrow to attend an extracurricular cla.s.s with his kindergarten friend, Mo Mo.
After calling for Xiaoqi to go to sleep, Su Xiyin looked at Huo Ci. “Ci Er, aren’t you going home?”
Huo Ci held back the mouthful of blood in his throat, feeling heartbroken. He stood up and left, looking unrepentant. “I’ll be leaving then, Mother.”
Su Xiyin gave him a look that said, “Leave quickly.”
Huo Ci felt even worse. He felt like he had just arrived but had been kicked out. He then looked at Xiaoqi. “Xiaoqi, Grandpa shall be leaving, okay?”
Xiaoqi nodded. “Take care, Grandpa.”
Huo Ci’s heart was instantly hurt, so he did not try to stay. Instead, he shouted in the direction of the study, “You brat, I’m leaving!”
Ling Sheng was in the study, reading a script with earplugs. She was completely immersed in the plot and thus had not heard him shout.
Upon seeing Huo Ci walk to the door, Xiaoqi helped him put on his shoes slowly and urged him. “Grandpa, hurry up. It’s dark outside. It’s not safe.”
Huo Ci’s heart was p.r.i.c.ked like a sieve again, causing an extremely serious second blow to it. I know. Do I need you to remind me?
“Grandpa, do you want to stay?” Xiaoqi frowned and ran to find his great-grandmother. “Great-grandmother, can Grandpa sleep with Xiaoqi?”
Su Xiyin knew that he did not want to leave. When he had arrived, he had gotten her to cook a bowl of noodles and heat up some food. After eating, he had dragged the visit on and on, obviously not wanting to leave.
When he had kicked the whole family out, he had not expected this day to come. He should have been taught a lesson.
When he heard Xiaoqi’s voice, Huo Ci’s lips curled up subconsciously, but he remained stubborn. “When did I say I didn’t want to leave? Who wants to stay at your house?”
Xiaoqi did not care what he said. He smiled like a silly dog as he pulled at his hand and walked into the house. He was extremely excited. “Grandpa, Grandpa, Mommy bought me a new moon lamp. Come and take a look.”
There was no children’s room in Huo Ci’s house, so Xiaoqi had been sleeping in a guest room with very simple decoration. When he saw the child’s room, he frowned in disdain. “What’s this?”
