Chapter 920 - Enemies on a Narrow Road (1/2)

Ling Sheng smiled politely. “I’m looking for my granduncle.”

Nangong Lun was even stunned for a moment. When he saw that she was looking at Uncle Li, her big eyes sparkling with excitement, he immediately felt his heart throb achingly.

Uncle Li had not expected that the girl had still seen him when he had stood so far away. He was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He got out of the car after informing Nangong Lun. He looked at the lass and asked, “Why did you come out without a coat? Are you cold?”

Then, he tried to take off his coat.

Ling Sheng hurriedly stopped him and smiled. “Granduncle, you’re already so old. Be careful not to catch a cold. As a young person, I’m healthier. This bit of chill is nothing.”

Uncle Li looked at the cheerful and pretty young lady in front of him. His eyes grew hot and his nose felt sore. He nodded. “Okay, whatever you say.”

It was good that she was fine. He had once thought that she would suffer a blow because of Xiaoqi and be ruined for good. He had not expected her to recover so well. She seemed to have walked out of the shadows.

It seemed like he had done the right thing by getting her to find Huo Ci.

Ling Sheng did not know why either, but she felt that the old man in front of her was very kind and amiable. She felt very close to him. The smile on her face had not disappeared since she started talking.

Nangong Lun was in the car, and the duo was standing behind it. When he turned around, he could see the girl’s bright smile. It was as dazzling as a spring flower, and he could vaguely hear her voice too. It was also sweet and pleasant.

The more he looked, the more his heart ached and felt bad. That girl was even happier and more intimate when she spoke to an outsider than when she spoke to her grandpa.

That wasn’t right. She had never treated him as her grandpa either. Every time they met, she would call him Old Master Nangong politely.

Originally, he had not felt anything other than anger either, aside from thinking that she lacked manners.

However, when there were these two comparisons made today, he only felt sad.

“Granduncle, when are you free? I’ll take you shopping.” When Ling Sheng walked him to the car, she asked again with a smile.

“When do you have time? I have time all the time.” Inwardly, Uncle Li felt as though he had eaten honey. He had not expected this girl to become more sensible as she grew up. Her mouth was sweet, and so was her heart, as she knew how to be filial now.

“I might have to wait until the filming is over. Today is the last day.” Ling Sheng frowned in slight disappointment before she smiled. “I’ll send you a message after I confirm the time. I’ll take you out to eat, shop, and buy new clothes.”

Uncle Li smiled especially lovingly. “Okay.”

Nangong Lun sat right beside them and listened to the duo’s conversation. He coughed and took a look at Uncle Li. Still going shopping for clothes? Upon seeing the girl leave after saying goodbye, he finally frowned and asked in a sarcastic tone, “Are you that happy?”

Uncle Li was still leaning against the window to look at Ling Sheng. His face was full of smiles as he nodded and sighed. “Sheng Sheng has really grown up. She knows how to dote on others now.”

Then, he felt the air around him turn a little heavy. When he turned around, he saw that the Old Master’s face was all dark. He hurriedly straightened his face and sensibly changed the topic. “Old Master, are we going to eat now?”

He had been with the Old Master for decades, so he could accurately judge his emotions. Was he unhappy now because of Miss? Or was it because of Sheng Sheng?

Whoever wanted to be unhappy could be unhappy on his own. Anyway, Huo Ci was very happy. When it was time to wash his face, Xiaoqi ran over and shifted a small stool over to step on. He beamed and said, “Grandpa, Xiaoqi will wash your face for you!”

Huo Ci had just brushed his teeth. It was a little uncomfortable to wash his face with one hand, but he could still do it. He looked at the little brat and smiled haughtily. “Wash it cleanly!”

Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly. “Xiaoqi promises to wash Grandpa clean.”
