Huo Ci frowned. Why was the Old Master looking for him so late? When he got up, he took a look at Ling Sheng, who was on the bed. That brat was anxious now? Why had she not thought of the consequences when she had hidden Third Master Jun?
Humph!
I will let him off today. Consider this a lesson!
Ling Sheng watched her father take light, brisk footsteps while he hummed a tune. When he reached the door, he turned around and smiled at her. “I’ll be back soon. Xiaoqi, take good care of your mother.”
Xiaoqi nodded vigorously. “Xiaoqi knows. Don’t worry, Grandpa. Leave Mommy to me.”
The moment Huo Ci stepped out, Ling Sheng jumped up. However, he had just closed the door when he pushed it open again. She felt like dying, so she lay down suddenly.
“What’s wrong?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. “It’s alright, Father. Go quickly. Don’t make the Old Master wait.”
This time, she was smarter. Upon hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, she jumped out of bed hurriedly to look at Jun Shiyan. She had stuffed him there without even looking under the bed.
Thankfully, the Su Family’s guest room was cleaned every day. The bottom of the bed was also clean, and there was no dust or spider webs.
Jun Shiyan lay on the bed and enjoyed the young lady’s light, gentle massage. His lips curled up slightly. He would be quite happy if the same situation happened again.
Ling Sheng felt extremely guilty. She knew that her father had deliberately stayed to mess with the Third Master. He was just too evil. Her heart ached as she looked at the man. “Third Master, are you feeling better?”
“Yes,” Jun Shiyan answered in a low voice. He dragged out the word lazily and tilted his head to look at the frowning young lady. In a gentle voice, he said, “I’m fine. I’d be alright even if I had to hide until daybreak.”
Based on Huo Ci’s temper, in the past, he would definitely have dragged him out and called for someone to beat him up. He would not have vented his evil intentions and deliberately messed with him like he had now.
Could he see that he had taken a step forward in his pursuit of Sheng Sheng? Huo Ci was no longer so much against him being with Sheng Sheng.
Jun Shiyan felt that his understanding of Huo Ci was still lacking. He walked out of Sheng Sheng’s room and walked toward the parking lot. He had been tripped up by traps countless times. Figurative traps were like fishing lines—thin and almost invisible.
Huo Ci and Su Heng sat in front of the computer and watched the surveillance footage without blinking. They watched as Jun Shiyan stumbled a few times along the way, but not once did he trip. They were so angry that they started scolding him.
Su Yan walked over with a cup of steaming coffee but could not bear to look at the two men. Her brows were furrowed slightly. “Brother, aren’t the two of you being childish? If you had the time, why didn’t you just beat him up when he was under the bed?”
They had instead set up a trap. Seriously, why were they as childish as children? She could not bear to reprimand them.
“What do you know?” Su Heng was extremely angry. He had said that Su Jing and the others had not completed the mission properly, as they had failed to lay the line. That scumbag Jun Shiyan had not tripped. “A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. Do men in the Su Family hit people for no reason?”
Huo Ci’s handsome face darkened. That d*mn Third Master Jun! If he had not been in the Su Family’s residence, he would have dragged him out to beat him to death. Now, he echoed Su Heng’s words. “Big Brother is right.”
Su Yan thought to herself, This behavior of yours is not much better than beating someone up. However, the Old Master likes the Third Master, so it’s not like the two of you would dare to hit him at home.
