Chapter 653 - Leaving Just Like That (1/2)

“Mommy.” Xiaoqi was not asleep either. He could feel her body trembling as he asked in a worried voice, “Mommy, what’s wrong? Do you have a fever?”

Upon hearing Xiaoqi’s voice, Ling Sheng regained her senses. She looked at her son and hugged his small, soft body tightly. In a gentle voice, she said, “It’s alright, let’s sleep!”

Xiaoqi hugged her waist tightly and said in a small voice, “Mommy, if you have something on your mind, can you tell Xiaoqi? Xiaoqi will keep it a secret. Is it because Grandpa doesn’t want you to be with Uncle Jun?”

Ling Sheng did not know he was having such thoughts at such a young age. She leaned over and pressed her forehead against the child’s. “Did Grandpa mention Uncle Jun in front of you, Xiaoqi?”

Xiaoqi remembered that every time his grandpa mentioned Uncle Jun, he would either scold him or threaten to kill him. He shook his head hurriedly. “No.”

Ling Sheng asked, “Really?”

Feeling guilty, Xiaoqi nodded. “Goodnight, Mommy.”

Upon seeing the child’s evasive look, Ling Sheng knew that her father had not said anything nice. Her son was a well-behaved child who would not badmouth his grandpa behind his back. However, he did not want to lie to her, so he avoided the topic.

That night, Ling Sheng had something on her mind. She did not know when she fell asleep, but she slept until nearly noon the next day. Su Yan woke her up when she knocked on the door and called for her to come eat.

Thankfully, she was at the Old Master’s house. If she had been a guest in another house, she would have been mocked for being lazy.

Ling Sheng stayed at the Su Family’s house for two days. On Monday morning, she took her cousin’s car back to the capital.
