Ling Sheng glared at him angrily and was ready to hit him.
Huo Ci compromised. His handsome face was ashen as he gritted his teeth. “I’ll buy you ten Hermes bags of the latest design you saw last week.”
Ling Sheng slapped his hand away, finally feeling a little proud. She let out a low cough. “There’s also a new LV design. I want the red one.”
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll buy you one of each color, alright?” Huo Ci heaved a sigh of relief. If his parents found out that he had drunk alcohol with Xiaoqi, they would break his legs.
Xiaoqi looked at Grandpa and then at Mommy. He tilted his head and thought for a long time before he finally regained his senses. He pouted with teary eyes. My heart hurts. Mommy sold her baby for a bag.
Ling Sheng, who was satisfied, stopped complaining. Upon seeing her father’s timid look, she wanted to laugh at him. She held in her laughter and asked, “Will you drink with Xiaoqi again in the future?”
Huo Ci’s face darkened, and he was in a terrible mood. However, he did not dare act arrogantly. “I told you, I didn’t give it to him! He drank the wine when I turned around!”
“Will you take Xiaoqi out to drink again in the future?” When she saw his aggrieved look, Ling Sheng’s heart was overjoyed. She thus repeated herself.
“No!” Huo Ci gritted his teeth. He might as well kill the duo. Were the days he was living even considered a human life?
Ling Sheng was finally satisfied.
Upon hearing Ling Sheng’s shout, Huo Xiao ran over hurriedly and pushed the door open. “My good granddaughter, what’s wrong? Did your father bully you again?”
Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly and smiled. “No, Grandpa. You and Grandma should go to bed quickly!”
Huo Xiao shot her a skeptical look before pointing at Huo Ci. “Behave yourself. If you dare bully my granddaughter, I’ll slap you to death.”
Huo Ci’s face was full of tears as he clasped his hands together and pleaded. “Father, go to bed quickly!”
Forget it.
Talking about it would only result in tears.
No more talking, no more talking. It was his fault anyway.
Upon seeing her grandpa leave, Ling Sheng told her son, “My good son, shall we go to bed?”
Xiaoqi looked at his mother with teary eyes. He pouted and wanted to cry. “Mommy, is Xiaoqi better than that bag?”
Ling Sheng was stunned. She had not expected the child to take it to heart. “Xiaoqi, of course. Mommy loves you the most.”
Huo Ci smiled gloatingly and gave the child a light blow. “Your mother likes bags more than you.”
Here’s some retribution, brat!
Xiaoqi felt even sadder. His eyes were red as he sniffled. “Mommy, is Grandpa telling the truth?”
Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly. Upon seeing that her son was about to cry, she hurriedly hugged him and coaxed him. “That’s a lie. Mommy only said she wanted a bag because she didn’t want your grandpa to get beaten up. You’re Mommy’s heart.”
Then, she gave him a big kiss to prove that she was telling the truth.
“Okay.” Xiaoqi finally stopped crying and smiled. He hugged her neck and rubbed it. His adorable puppy-like appearance made one’s heart melt.
Ling Sheng carried Xiaoqi to bed.
Upon seeing that the duo was about to disappear, Huo Ci shouted, “You brat, close the door!”
Huo Xiao happened to pass by and took a look inside. Then, he said faintly, “Do you want me to close the door for you?”
Huo Ci jumped out of bed hurriedly and smiled apologetically. “No need, no need. Go rest early, father. I’ll do it myself.”
Sigh!
He had definitely committed a sin. That brat should move out and get as far away from him as possible!
