Upon seeing his strange smile, Ling Sheng wondered why he was standing so close to her. She took a step back hurriedly and frowned warily. “What are you doing?”
Jiang Yi was holding a heat pack. He tore it open and was about to pass it when he smiled.
Chu Zhian also walked over. He tore open the heat pack and placed it in her palm. “Sheng Sheng, warm up. Brother wants to ask you something. Do you need a boyfriend?”
“Sheng Sheng, are you planning to get a boyfriend? What do you think of me?” Jiang Yi was not about to be outdone. He took off his coat and put it on her. “I’ve thought about it. I happen to need a girlfriend like you.”
Xiaoqi was still on Ji Fanchen’s back, so no one had noticed him. When he saw the two uncles he knew from television, he frowned.
Ji Fanchen’s lips curled up secretly as he watched the show.
Ling Sheng looked at the duo in disdain. Were they crazy? Why were the two of them trying to please her as though this was a competition? She looked at them and pointed at Xiaoqi. “Do you mind being stepfathers?”
Chu Zhian and Jiang Yi then saw the delicate little kid on Ji Fanchen’s back. The little kid smiled at them and said crisply, “Hi, uncles. She already has a boyfriend.”
Chu Zhian’s eyes widened. What was going on?
Jiang Yi let out an earth-shaking shout. “F*ck, Ji Fanchen! Your son is already that big?”
Ling Sheng gave the duo a sideways look, as though she was holding a cane. Did they have to be so dramatic? She turned around and hugged Xiaoqi. Then, she smiled and said, “He’s my son. Xiaoqi, greet them.”
Xiaoqi knew them. He waved his hand and greeted them one by one. “Hi, Uncle Chu and Uncle Jiang.”
Chu Zhian and Jiang Yi looked at each other. At the same time, they felt as though their IQ had been insulted. They took a look at Ling Sheng and Ji Fanchen before exclaiming in unison, “Are you two together?”
Ling Sheng’s disdain was obvious. The two of you are fools. “He’s my son. What does this have to do with Brother Chen? Are the two of you crazy?”
Yu Bei and Shi Lingyu walked over as well. When they saw Xiaoqi, they were dumbfounded. Son? Ling Sheng’s son? The kid had to be around three years old. He was pretty and fair.
Shi Lingyu looked at the child carefully before looking at Ling Sheng and asking, “Is he the neighbor’s son?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. No.
Shi Lingyu’s eyes widened as she held her breath nervously. In a trembling voice, she asked, “Huo Ci’s?”
“He’s mine! He’s mine! What does this have to do with men?” Ling Sheng growled and tried to strangle her to death, but Yu Bei stopped her and protected his girlfriend.
“But he…” Shi Lingyu’s voice trembled as she pointed at Xiaoqi. She did not know if she was agitated or shocked to the point of tears. “He looks exactly like my Ci when he was young!”
“That’s my granduncle.” Xiaoqi hurriedly explained. Did he look like Grandpa?
“Your granduncle?” Yu Bei pointed at Ling Sheng. Fine, she had kept many things from them and had even said he was her best friend. What kind of friend was that? “What’s your relationship with Huo Ci?”
Ling Sheng was afraid that this group of people would rush over and attack a pitiful person like her. She smiled obsequiously and said, “He’s my uncle, I’ll explain this slowly. Let’s find a place to sit and talk. It’s quite cold.”
It was very cold outside. The weather was not good that day. There was no sun, and the demonic wind was strong. She stood at the door, trembling.
The six of them got into Yu Bei’s van.
Ling Sheng had brought her son over, leaving the group dumbfounded. They did not know where her son had popped out of.
