Chapter 928: Be Careful of Everything
Look at what he had done. What was all this? He was just taking a shower yet he could fill the whole washroom with bubbles—and the foam was even pink in color. On the walls, on the ceiling, on the ground, everywhere.
She knew that he must have done it on purpose. Otherwise, why would the bubbles make such a mess everywhere?!
Having heard the anger in Grandma’s tone, Xiaoqi took a look at his grandpa and wanted to scamper off. However, Huo Ci grasped onto him firmly. He could not run.
“Grandpa, what should we do?” Xiaoqi looked at Huo Ci in panic. Oh no, Grandma was angry. She would definitely chase them away.
“Didn’t you want to play?” Huo Ci gave him a lazy look and gave him a thumbs-up. “What else can we do? Go and clean up!”
Nangong Lengyu was infuriated. She did not know how the duo had managed to get the foam on the ceiling. “Explain yourselves! How incredible the both of you are!”
She wanted to ignore Huo Ci, but if she allowed him to continue turning the house upside down, this house would not look like a home in a few days!
Xiaoqi hurried over to explain. “Grandma, it’s not Grandpa. Xiaoqi wanted to play war games.”
Huo Ci looked at the brat. At least he had some conscience. He swept a look at Nangong Lengyu, behaving as though this had nothing to do with him.
It would be strange if Nangong Lengyu believed him. The baby was so well-behaved and obedient. If someone had not deliberately encouraged him, how could he have done such a thing? She only shot a fiery look at Huo Ci and said coldly, “Clean it up properly.”
As soon as Huo Ci entered, Xiaoqi chased after him.
Even when Nangong Lengyu shouted, he wouldn’t come out. He was going to share both blessings and difficulties with his grandpa and clean up the messy bathroom together with him.
Before long, he ran out huffing and puffing on his short legs while holding two water guns. He gave Nangong Lengyu an embarra.s.sed look and called her ‘Grandma’ before turning around to run back into the bathroom.
Nangong Lengyu took a look. The water guns were quite big, and there were pink bubbles inside. She did not even know how the two of them had gotten such bubbles. They had really been playing war fighting.
“Grandpa, you’re so dirty. Why did you get it on your face?”
“How are you any better than me? Look at you. You can shower by yourself later.”
“Grandpa, don’t move. Xiaoqi will wipe it for you.”
“Scram. Look at what’s in your hands! The more you wipe, the more it’s going to smear on me.”
“Haha, Grandpa, you’re a big floral cat[1]!”
“If I’m a big floral cat, then you’re a small floral cat!”
Nangong Lengyu stood at the door. When she heard how their conversation sounded like a couple of fools talking—and they were even laughing at each other, her lips curled up subconsciously too, and her tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed.
As long as Xiaoqi was with Grandpa, he would be happy no matter what they were doing. After cleaning up the bathroom, the duo ran out together.
Soon…
Xiaoqi came in with a bowl of medicine. He walked carefully, afraid that he would spill the medicine. When he reached Nangong Lengyu, he looked at her seriously. “Grandma, it’s time for you to drink medicine.”
Upon seeing the child’s soft adorable look, Nangong Lengyu suddenly felt that the smell of the medicine was not that unbearable anymore. Her heart softened as she asked, “Did your Uncle Jun get someone to deliver this?”
She was already an adult. Even if she disliked taking medicine, she would not make things difficult for her own body. It did not matter before she had found Little Star. Now that she had found her and Xiaoqi, she wanted to live a long life. Naturally, she had to nurse her health and take good care of her body.
However, she truly could not stand the smell of medicine, especially that stench when it was being brewed. So, she got Ah Yan to brew the medicine and bring it to her on time.
Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment before he took a look at Huo Ci with his big eyes. Upon seeing him nod, he nodded vigorously too. “Mhm.”
Nangong Lengyu did not know why the child still had to look at Huo Ci to answer a question. But she did not think much about it and drank it all in one go. Then, she drank a big gla.s.s of water. It was sour and sweet; it was honey lemon water. It immediately suppressed the medicinal taste.
After seeing her finish the medicine, Huo Ci called out to Xiaoqi before turning around leisurely and entering the house. His eyes were deep. That sc.u.mbag Third Old Jun had even come to deliver medicine to her?
Look at how attentive he was? This sc.u.mbag was beginning to curry favor with his future mother-in-law!
When he reached the house, he sent a message to Jun Shiyan, telling him not to come and deliver medicine for the time being. He would do as he saw fit.
An Yan had come to deliver the medicine. When he reached the entrance, he received a call from the Third Master, asking him to go back and not deliver medicine in the near future. He cast a strange look at the small villa with the lights switched on. A gust of wind blew past and he smelled a whiff of Chinese medicine.
Had Ms. Nangong brewed the medicine herself? That was impossible. Hadn’t the Third Master said that she could not stand the smell of medicine, especially the smell when she was frying it?
Nangong Lengyu felt that the medicine today tasted a little different from usual. There was an indescribable sweetness that suppressed the original bitterness of the medicine.
Besides, the water she had poured was obviously plain water. When did it become honey lemon water? Her eyes cast a profound look at the bedroom opposite her.
The bedroom door was not closed yet, so she could see the big bed. Xiaoqi was lying on top of him, playing ‘Lift him high in the air’. He was giggling happily, which made her feel much more relaxed instantly as well.
The film crew of “School Bully” had a gathering. After eating dinner, it was still early, so they changed their venue to the KTV lounge and booked a big private room to sing.
Actually, Ling Sheng was not particularly interested in such social interactions, but neither was she averse to them. When she was singing with emotion, she was suddenly dragged away by Song Yiyan.
Everyone was baffled, but they saw that Song Yiyan had already dragged her to a relatively quiet corner.
Su Guo picked up the microphone and threw it at Si Chengluo. “Luo Luo, continue singing.”
Among the group of people, only Sheng Sheng and Luo Luo sang really well, especially Luo Luo. He was a singing and dancing idol, so he had to sing well.
Si Chengluo’s eyes had not left Ling Sheng’s body the whole time. He kept feeling that she and Song Yiyan had a secret and were hiding something from him. For example, he was very concerned about the strange incident that had happened during the table read.
“Ji Xing said that the plan has failed. The trash fish has already escaped. He told us to be careful!” Song Yiyan’s nerves were tense. She did not know why, but her throat was dry from nervousness.
Ever since she had called Sheng Sheng the last time, she had not dreamed of him again. She had only been asleep for a short while just now before she had dreamed of him!
Others might not understand her anruptwords, but Ling Sheng understood immediately. She looked at Song Yiyan. “What else?”
Song Yiyan shook her head, not knowing what she was feeling inside either. She only felt a little sad and empty. Her nose was a little sore. “He told me to wait for him. He’ll think of a way to come here.”
But… who is he?
Why did he keep appearing in her dreams?
Where was he coming from? What the h.e.l.l was Sheng Sheng up to? Why did she know the man in her dreams?
