Chapter 1119 - Escape From the Second Floor (1/2)

When Luo Xin heard the word ‘son’, jealousy spread like wildfire in her heart. That word made her feel like there was a fish bone stuck in her throat. She smiled and nodded at her. “Take care, Miss Ling.”

Ling Sheng did not turn back. Instead, she walked forward resolutely. When she clearly heard Butler Gu invite Luo Xin in, she scowled.

Was she really so detestable in his heart that he would lie to her and not even want to see her?

When Ling Sheng returned home and entered the house, she saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman on the balcony diagonally opposite her.

Nangong Lengyu was nestled in a hanging chair with a laptop on her knees and was working seriously. From her side angle, a few rays of sunlight shone in. Her beautiful face without any makeup had a languid and comfortable look.

Huo Ci sat beside her with his legs crossed and the script in his hand. Occasionally, he would flip through a few pages of the script. From time to time, he would turn to look at the woman beside him and feed her a piece of fruit.

Ling Sheng looked at the warm and harmonious scene in front of her. Oh my god, look at them. She doesn’t even need to eat anymore, she could fill herself up with the lovey-dovey display by her parents.

On the balcony, the two indulging in love did not realize that their daughter had returned until they smelled the delicious food.

Nangong Lengyu looked at Huo Ci. “When did Sheng Sheng come back?”

Huo Ci shook his head and glanced at the kitchen in disdain. “I don’t know.”

That wretched girl! She went to look for the man everyday, she couldn’t bear to let him go and couldn’t forget about him. She kept saying that she didn’t want Third Master Jun anymore, but she still went to look for him everyday.

Looking at her actions, he would get angry whenever he looked at her. If he wasn’t afraid of angering her wife, he would teach her a lesson.

“Who are you glaring at? Didn’t Sheng Sheng go to look for Xiaoqi?” Nangong Lengyu spoke up for her daughter and glared at him angrily. Seeing him hand over another strawberry, she said in disdain, “I’m not eating it.”

Huo Ci waved the strawberry at her lips and coaxed her with a smile. “Just one bite. The tip is the sweetest and most delicious.”

Nangong Lengyu opened her mouth and took a small bite. As she watched the man happily eat the remaining strawberries, she sighed softly. Wasn’t he childish?

Ling Sheng came out with a bowl of noodles and looked at the two people from the kitchen. “Mom, I made some handmade noodles. There’s more in the pot. If you two are hungry, eat some!”

Huo Ci reached out to wipe the strawberry crumbs off Nangong Lengyu’s mouth and asked her gently, “Want some?”

Nangong Lengyu nodded, of course she did. Her daughter’s cooking was delicious no matter what she made.

However, ever since she came back, she had been going out everyday. She went out early in the morning and only came back at night. When she asked her where she was going, she said that she was going to see her friends. Actually, she was going to look for Ah Yan and Xiaoqi.

However, Ah Yan, that bastard, did not remember anything and even disliked her now. Every time, she would be rejected.

Huo Ci scooped a bowl of noodles and brought it out. Looking at the wretched girl eating the noodles, he snorted unhappily. “Third Master Jun is a human and we are not? Look at the food you made for him and then look at the food you made for us!”

Nangong Lengyu glanced at him. Who’s not human? You’re not human!

Ling Sheng, who was already in a bad mood, took a deep breath and swallowed her words, not daring to say them out loud. She only mumbled, “Aren’t I eating the same food? Not like I ate alone behind your back.”

Nangong Lengyu looked at Huo Ci. “If you’re not eating, then leave.”

Her daughter was already very upset, yet he kept adding to her troubles. Although he was telling the truth, she felt sour in her heart when she saw how busy her daughter was. She woke up early in the morning, bought food, and cooked.

Huo Ci stopped talking and placed a bowl of noodles in front of her. He even reminded her, “You’re not allowed to add chili oil.”

Nangong Lengyu smiled and nodded. She then looked carefully at her daughter, who was enjoying her noodles, and asked, “Have you seen Ah Yan?”

Who was Ah Yan? If he didn’t want to see anyone in the capital or even in China, even if you went to the door every day, you wouldn’t be able to see him.

There was nothing she and Huo Ci could do about this matter. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame the power and influence that he has. If Ah Yan was an ordinary person, everything would be fine.

“No,” Ling Sheng replied casually. She paused for a moment before saying, “I’m not going there to look for him. I’m looking for Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi ate all the food that was sent over.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ci finally felt a little better. He was afraid that this good-for-nothing would try to curry favor with that bastard Third Master Jun. He had no objections if it was given to the rascal.
