Chapter 951 - Each to Take a Step Back (2/2)

The villa district here belonged to a high-end residential area in the capital. The security had always been very good, and she had never heard of any burglary. Why had they bumped into it so coincidentally tonight? It let this scumbag Huo Ci have an excuse to ridicule her! And take Sheng Sheng away.

“What kind of guarantee is that?” Huo Ci looked at Ling Sheng and tugged at her arm, wanting to get in the car. “Let’s go home! This place is too dangerous. Don’t come over here again.”

“Huo Ci, we agreed that Sheng Sheng will stay with me today.” Nangong Lengyu’s cold eyes blazed as she clenched her fists.

Ever since Sheng Sheng had gotten pregnant, she had returned to Huo Ci’s condominium. The two elders of the Huo Family were also present, so it was not appropriate for her to ask Sheng Sheng to accompany her. She could only take the time to visit her in the day, but she did not want to meet Huo Ci either. She did not have much time to interact with her every day.

Last night, when Sheng Sheng had called to ask her to attend the rehearsal, she had decided that no matter what, she would make her daughter stay by her side. She wanted to accompany her and take care of her.

“But something already happened to your place here. I’m worried.” Huo Ci smiled and added, “This place is quite dreadful. I suggest you move somewhere else too!”

Ling Sheng could clearly feel the gunpowder smell in the air. Sparks flew as cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Hey, you two big shots, can you stop arguing and ask me for my opinion as the person involved first?

“I told you that I won’t let anything happen to Sheng Sheng. When I get home, I’ll immediately hire a bodyguard. This kind of thing seldom happens throughout the year. The probability of this kind of event is not an excuse for you to take Sheng Sheng away.” Nangong Lengyu frowned even more tightly. She knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her and did not want to let her see Sheng Sheng!

“Then, we’ll talk about this again after you find a bodyguard!” Huo Ci’s smile deepened as he gave Ling Sheng a warning look before pulling her into the car.

“Sheng Sheng, who do you want to stay with?” Nangong Lengyu quickly took two steps forward and grabbed Ling Sheng’s arm too. “Do you want to stay with your father or mother?”

Ling Sheng was in a difficult position. She took a look at her father and then at her mother. In a weak voice, she said, “Can I choose both? Mom, since my father is worried, let him live with us so that he can protect me too.”

Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu said in unison, “No!”

Ling Sheng let out a cough and struggled free from the duo. She let out an anxious roar. She was angry now. “In that case, both of you can return to your respective homes! I’ll stay in a hotel by myself!”

Who didn’t have a temper?!

Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu did not fight anymore. Ling Sheng was unwilling. She would not accept any discussion. She was unwilling to follow anyone. She stood by the roadside to hail a taxi, insisting on staying at a hotel.

Nangong Lengyu and Huo Ci looked at each other. In the end, the duo took a step back each and chose to compromise.

When Ling Sheng held Nangong Lengyu’s hand and walked into the district, her heart was full of delight. There was a good saying: it is healthier to act out. She should have done this a long time ago!

When they passed by the supermarket at the entrance of the district, she even bought a stick of candied hawthorn and ate it happily. After feeding half of it to Nangong Lengyu, she turned around and smiled at Huo Ci, raising the candied hawthorn. “Dad, do you want to eat it?”

“I’m not eating!” Huo Ci clenched his molar teeth as he spat out two words. When he saw the girl walking happily with her head swaying in front of him proudly, he knew that she had done it on purpose. When he thought of the way she had kicked up a fuss just now, he would have smacked her if she had not been pregnant and was also frightened by the accident tonight.

Was her mother that nice? Look at her attitude toward her mother. Then, he thought about how she had treated him in the past once more. Besides angering him every day, she was angering him!

As they walked, a black figure suddenly flew out of the forest in front of them and headed toward Ling Sheng and Nangong Lengyu.
