“Third Master.” Ling Sheng puffed up her cheeks and turned around to glare at him. Pretending to be angry, she started reprimanding him with her hands on her hips. “You only brought soup because I mentioned soup? There’s also porridge! Porridge!”
“I understand.” Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh and strode over on his long legs. His big hand patted her head comfortingly as his thin lips moved slightly. “Go outside and wait. I’ll do it. It’s been hard for you to cook.”
Ling Sheng shook her head, her heart feeling warm. In a soft voice, she said, “Stop fooling around. It’s all messy.”
Xiaoqi covered his mouth secretly behind them, his eyes crinkling as he smiled. He tiptoed to get the bowl, afraid that he would disturb the duo. When would Mommy and Uncle Jun get together?
Ling Sheng realized that the Third Master’s taste was simply the taste of a child. It was exactly the same as Xiaoqi’s. He liked everything that Xiaoqi liked to eat. He did not like anything that Xiaoqi did not like either.
For example, the duo’s actions right now were strangely identical. They had picked the ginger and carrots out of their food, both of them looking very serious.
Ling Sheng knocked on the table and looked at the duo seriously. She enunciated each word clearly as she said, “You’re not allowed to be picky!”
Xiaoqi pouted and looked at his mother pitifully. Then, he pointed at Jun Shiyan as though he had found his own kind. “Uncle Jun didn’t eat those either!”
Ling Sheng looked at Jun Shiyan sharply.
Jun Shiyan let out a low cough, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face. “Xiaoqi, you are a child. You can’t be picky when you’re growing. I am an adult. I don’t need to grow anymore.”
Ling Sheng was amused by his faulty theory. How could he have the cheek to defend himself? She pointed at the two of them and said, “You can choose not to eat the ginger. Give it to me. But you must eat the carrots!”
Then, she saw the duo’s faces wither. They each picked up a carrot stick as though it was poison and closed their eyes as though they were facing death. They put the carrots in their mouths and swallowed them without chewing.
Then, they opened their mouths to show her that they had finished eating.
“Sheng Sheng, I ate it.”
“Mommy, I’m done eating.”
Ling Sheng watched their expressions and actions. They had both said the same thing. She definitely did not have to worry about the Third Master and Xiaoqi getting along.
They were more united than father and son. The more they interacted with each other, the stronger this feeling became.
After dinner, Jun Shiyan cleared the table and washed the dishes.
Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi had already run to the sofa to wait for the show to start. They even took out the snacks they wanted and placed them on the table.
The volume of the show was a little loud.
When Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin pushed the door open and entered, they saw the mother and son watching television on the sofa. They were about to greet them when they saw a man walk out of the kitchen.
Jun Shiyan was still wearing a pair of washing gloves. As he walked, he shouted, “Sheng Sheng, do you have any more cleaning products at home? There’s not enough.”
Su Xiyin reacted the fastest. Upon seeing Huo Xiao hit him with his walking stick, she coughed hurriedly and took two steps forward. “Third Master Jun, what are you doing here?”
When his wife took a few steps forward to block him, Huo Xiao dropped the walking stick in his hand. His face was ashen as he bellowed angrily, “Ling Sheng, get over here! What’s going on?”
Hadn’t Sixth Brother said that Jun Shiyan was disabled, disfigured, and impotent?
Who was standing in front of him?
Had he seen a ghost?
Upon hearing her grandpa’s shout, Ling Sheng turned around and saw the scene before her. She was still eating, so she nearly choked. She jumped off the sofa in a flurry. “Grandpa, Grandma, why are you back today?”
