Chapter 579: Half-Dead
Ling Sheng picked up her phone with great difficulty and switched on the video. She pretended to be extremely weak and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Father.”
Huo Ci had been about to scold her, but when he saw her half-dead state, he could not remember what he’d wanted to scold her for. He blurted out, “Do you still feel unwell?”
Ling Sheng nodded and pretended to be even weaker. She said weakly, “I feel terrible.”
Huo Ci did not know why, but his heart ached when he saw this. “Where’s your dinner? What did you eat?”
Ling Sheng said weakly, “I didn’t eat anything. I don’t want to eat.”
Huo Ci’s heart ached even more, and he felt even more annoyed. “Where’s Jun Shiyan? Is this how he takes care of someone? Is he there? Let him talk to me.”
Ling Sheng thought, Why is your att.i.tude so good now? Don’t you hate him? Why are you looking for him? “The Third Master is not here. I’m alone.”
She was lying.
Jun Shiyan asked, “Sheng Sheng, do you want your eggs fully cooked or sunny side up?”
Ling Sheng saw her father’s handsome face darken suddenly. He gritted his teeth. “You brat, I knew you weren’t telling the truth.”
Ling Sheng chuckled. “Father, he just arrived. He’s cooking in the kitchen.”
Huo Ci sneered and mocked him. “Third Master Jun knows how to cook? He can’t cook sh*t for you!”
Ling Sheng despised him but did not dare show it. In a soft voice, she retorted, “Can you be more civilized? The Third Master cooks quite well. He’s a better cook than me. When we get back, I’ll have him cook for you.”
Huo Ci asked, “Where’s Huo Xuanzhou?”
Ling Sheng said, “He has something to do, so he’ll be late.”
Huo Ci said, “Let me warn you. If you dare stay alone with Third Master Jun, I won’t let him off.”
Ling Sheng nodded. Ever since she had gotten sick, she had become even more adorable. “Okay, Third Master will leave after cooking.”
Huo Ci said, “I didn’t tell your grandparents. Now that you’re half-dead, don’t talk to them, alright?”
Ling Sheng replied, “Yes.”
Sigh… Her father finally behaved like a father. It was rare, really rare. She was almost moved to tears.
Huo Ci said, “Give Third Master Jun your phone. I’ll talk to him.”
Ling Sheng was very obedient. She called Third Master Jun over and gave him her phone.
How had the Third Master convinced her father? Although he found fault in everything, he had tacitly agreed to let the Third Master take care of her.
Jun Shiyan walked to the window.
Ling Sheng was a curious person. She secretly braced herself against the wall and followed him, wanting to hear what the duo had to say and what kind of unspeakable deal they had made.
However, the Third Master had turned off the speakerphone, so she could not hear her father. She only heard him reply a few times before he hung up.
Jun Shiyan turned around and saw that the young lady was acting like a rabbit. She turned around and ran, but she did not have the energy to do so. After she took two steps, her body swayed, and he quickly stepped forward to hold her waist. In a low, s.e.xy voice, he asked, “Do you want to know what we said that much?”
Ling Sheng let out a low cough and allowed the man to pick her up. She shook her head. “I don’t want to.”
Jun Shiyan smiled.
Then, he saw the young lady blink her big eyes at him gently and gesture with her fingers. “Just a little.”
She still wanted to know.
“Since it’s only a little, forget it!” Jun Shiyan teased her. Upon seeing the young lady’s face wither, he smiled and said, “Your father asked me to take good care of you.”
Ling Sheng did not believe him. Her father was not such a considerate person. He looked as though he was lying. She turned her face away and did not look at him anymore.
