Chapter 544: Hiding A Man Behind His Back
However, she was afraid of the current situation. If her father caught her, she would definitely be finished.
Xiaoqi had eaten, but he still wanted to eat with Mommy. He sat beside her and picked up food for her. Only when Grandpa called him over to bring him water did he run to the sofa to watch television with him.
Ling Sheng did not know what the food tasted like, but she was full of energy. Her body was like a string, and she did not dare keep staring at her father’s movements. As long as anything abnormal happened near the sofa, she would hold her breath.
Huo Ci chewed on a potato chip and let out a low cough before clearing his throat. “How’s the teacher? Can you understand everything he’s saying?”
Ling Sheng was as scared as a frightened bird when she heard his voice. She had not expected her father to be concerned about her studies. Her heart felt a little delightful as she nodded, her voice softening. “Yes, I understand.”
“When will your teacher be back?” Huo Ci asked. His parents wanted him to judge the teacher’s character; it wasn’t something he had asked for.
“At two o’clock in the afternoon.” Ling Sheng smiled, her heart aching. What if he really wanted to see the teacher? Where would she find a teacher?
F*ck. Huo Ci cursed in a low voice and controlled his temper. “Tell your teacher to come over early. I want to meet him.”
“Father, he’s just a tutor. I’m not a child.” Ling Sheng bit her chopsticks, ready to cry. Why did he have to see the teacher?
“Do you think I want to see him? Your grandparents wanted me to see him.” Huo Ci bellowed and gave her a disdainful look. Then, he pointed at her and ordered, “Call him and tell him to come over quickly.”
Ling Sheng replied, “Okay!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she received a message from Jun Shiyan: Be right there.
Ling Sheng: You found a teacher?
Jun Shiyan quickly sent the teacher’s photo and information over. Wu Yang, 23 years old, third-year student at the Imperial Capital University, Math Department.
Ling Sheng sent an OK emoji before she started eating in peace. However, her father was watching television in the living room while she was eating in the dining room. Jun Shiyan was hiding in the study, which was one wall away.
This was f*cking thrilling. Her heart was about to explode, and her nerves were so tense that she was fl.u.s.tered. When would her father leave?
“Bring her homework over for me to take a look at it.” Huo Ci lowered his voice and nudged Xiaoqi before asking him to run an errand.
Xiaoqi nodded and ran to the study on his short legs.
Ling Sheng was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand dropped. She was thunderstruck. Her wish to call out to Xiaoqi was forced down her throat, and her face turned pale as she jumped up.
Upon seeing her run toward the study, Huo Ci knew that something was up. He frowned slightly. F*ck, could that brat be hiding a man behind his back?
When Xiaoqi saw the man sitting behind the door, his eyes widened. Uncle Jun! Was he playing hide-and-seek with Mommy?
Jun Shiyan had not expected Xiaoqi to suddenly enter. However, when he saw that it was Xiaoqi, he heaved a sigh of relief and shushed him.
The duo stared at each other for a moment before Huo Ci’s voice rang out. He stopped Ling Sheng immediately. “You brat, tell me the truth. Have you hidden someone behind my back?”
Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly. “No, Father. What are you talking about? Who am I hiding?”
Huo Ci did not believe her. When he pushed the door open and entered, he kept her at the door. Then, he heard the washroom door close with a bang.
