Huo Ci bent down and carried Xiaoqi into his arms, his smile full of satisfaction and gratitude. “Xiaoqi truly knows how to dote on me! Let’s go back to sleep!”
Ling Sheng gnashed her teeth secretly. Upon seeing her father’s expression, she knew that it had to be his idea that Xiaoqi wanted to stay behind. However, she was a coward. She was afraid of offending her father, so she did not dare talk rubbish either.
However, Nangong Lengyu asked seriously, “Xiaoqi, do you really want to stay here? You’re not going to stay with Mommy and Grandma? It’s only a week. You’re starting school on the 16th so you’ll be coming home soon. You’ll be with Grandpa every day then but you can’t be with Grandma every day.”
“I’m going to shoot a movie from the 16th onwards. How could he be with me every day?” Huo Ci frowned slightly and interrupted her. He smiled lovingly and pinched Xiaoqi’s tiny face. “Xiaoqi is just afraid that he won’t be able to see me and will miss me. That’s why he wants to keep me company, right?”
Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, his face scrunched up. When he thought of how pitiful Grandpa had been just now, he nodded vigorously. “Yes, Xiaoqi has decided to stay together with Grandpa. Bye bye, Grandma and Mommy.”
He wanted to be with Grandma and Mommy, but Grandpa was the only one left at home. Grandpa would be really pitiful.
When Xiaoqi had said that he wanted to stay, Nangong Lengyu knew that it was this scumbag Huo Ci’s idea, but she could not do anything to him anyway. However, she did not want him to get his way out of her own selfishness. She smiled and negotiated, “In that case, Xiaoqi can just come over for two days. Grandma will send you back afterward, all right?”
Xiaoqi took a look at Grandpa but still shook his head. “Grandma, Xiaoqi will stay here.”
Nangong Lengyu really wanted to know exactly what Huo Ci had done to make the child so determined to stay with him. His expression clearly told her that he wanted to be with them, but in the end, he had still chosen his grandpa!
“Slow down on the road!” Huo Ci hugged Xiaoqi, his handsome face full of joy. He even walked the mother and daughter to the door and watched them enter the elevator. “Sheng Sheng, if you miss Xiaoqi, come back and take a look.”
Upon seeing her father’s smile, Ling Sheng felt that he was very proud of himself. She nodded and looked at her son. “Father, take good care of Xiaoqi!”
Since her grandparents were not around, she was really worried about leaving Xiaoqi in the care of her father. However, when she thought about it, he had also taken care of Xiaoqi alone before. There should be no problem.
Upon seeing Huo Ci’s smug face, Nangong Lengyu was infuriated. After giving him a cold look, she smiled lovingly and waved at Xiaoqi. “Xiaoqi, say goodbye to Grandma.”
Xiaoqi’s crisp voice said, “Bye, Grandma. Be careful on the way. Remember to call Xiaoqi and tell me you’re safe when you get home.”
Upon hearing the child’s voice, Nangong Lengyu’s heart melted. While watching the elevator close bit by bit, she sighed reluctantly. When they reached the lobby, she finally said, “Sheng Sheng, don’t come back here in the future. Stay with Mommy. He can’t keep his eyes on Xiaoqi all the time. When the time comes, Mommy will bring Xiaoqi over too.”
Ling Sheng knew what was going on inwardly, but she could not badmouth her father behind his back. “Mom, don’t be angry. Xiaoqi is just on good terms with my father. He’s even closer to him than me. He listens to my father about everything. When my father goes to do filming, we can fetch Xiaoqi back on Saturday and Sunday.”
This was obviously her father’s doing to prevent Xiaoqi from leaving with them. However, what in the world had he told Xiaoqi to make him stand so firmly on his side?
As soon as Ling Sheng and Nangong Lengyu left, Huo Ci let out a pleased laugh and patted the little fella’s head. “Let’s pack up and we’ll go find your Uncle Nao Nao to play with!”
