Chapter 625 - Thoughtful Words (1/2)

“Okay.” Xiaoqi patted her shoulder. “Mommy, Xiaoqi can walk.”

Ling Sheng held Xiaoqi’s hand and walked around the entrance for a long time. It was a small mall, and it was quite old. It was past 11 o’clock at night and close to 12 o’clock. Besides the movie-goers, there was no one else there.

It was winter, and the wind was howling. It was so cold that it was bone-chilling. Not only was it cold, but it was also drizzling.

Ling Sheng was not wearing much. She was wearing a woolen sweater inside and a coat over it. She was freezing, and she could not find Huo Ci even after searching around.

However, when she headed to the cafe, she looked up and saw two familiar figures in the private room on the second floor. It was her Second Uncle and Sister Yu. They were discussing something, so she could not disturb them.

It was extremely cold outside. Not only had they not found her father, but the rain was also getting heavier. She could only flag down a taxi with her son and go home.

Su Xiyin opened the door and saw the mother and son, whose faces were pale from the cold. Her heart ached as she dragged them into the house. “Where’s your father? Isn’t he with you? Why are the two of you home?”

Xiaoqi was a child, so he spoke the truth. His voice was trembling because of the cold. “Grandpa left. Mommy and I took a taxi back.”

Huo Xiao walked out of the house. Upon hearing Xiaoqi’s words, he cursed angrily. “I told you not to go out with him. He’s a scumbag. I’ll settle the score with him when he gets home!”

It was a really dark and cold day, and it was raining outside. Why was he not worried at all about letting a girl like Sheng Sheng take a child—Xiaoqi—home?

The house was warm. Ling Sheng dragged her son to the sofa and wrapped him tightly in a blanket. Her grandma even passed him a heat pack and placed it in Xiaoqi’s embrace. He was finally warm.

Afraid that the duo would catch a cold, Su Xiyin even boiled some brown sugar ginger water.

Ling Sheng was a little hungry, so she asked her to make two poached eggs.

Su Xiyin put on some longan and red dates. When she saw Ling Sheng run to the kitchen door from the sofa, her heart ached. “Wait on the sofa. It’ll be ready soon.”
