Even though he explained for so long, Xiao Qi continued to cry. In a moment of furry, Huo Ci turned and stormed away. The mother and son were definitely out to anger him to death.

When Ling Sheng was back, there was no one in the living room. However, she could hear Xiao Qi’s sobs coming from his room. After hurrying to knock on his door, she said, “Xiao Qi, Mommy’s back. Open the door.”

Why wasn’t he asleep this late? What had made him cry?

Xiao Qi let out another loud cry, his throat turning hoarse as he knocked hard from the inside of the room. He tried to scream, but no voice was coming out. “Mommy!”

Ling Sheng looked for the key and opened the door. When she saw the little fella’s swollen eyes, her heart hurt as though it had been stabbed. The little fella could not even speak. “What’s wrong? Tell Mommy what happened!”

Xiao Qi hugged her tightly as his little body began to tremble uncontrollably. He remained silent in her embrace.

Ling Sheng’s eyes teared up. She comforted Xiao Qi before carrying him to bed to put him to sleep. Then, she stormed over to Huo Ci’s room and knocked angrily on his door.

Huo Ci was immensely annoyed, for he could do whatever he wanted when he was alone. The sudden appearance of his daughter and her son had interrupted the rhythm of his life. They were like his debtors. When he opened the door, he growled in a low voice, “D*mned girl, I owe both of you, is that it?”

“Huo Ci, don’t you know anything? How could you say this kind of thing to a child?” Ling Sheng lowered her voice, but her temper was rising. “Xiao Qi is just a child! How could you tell him everything?”

“D*mn, I’ve never raised a child before. How would I know how to put it?” Too angry to say anything, Huo Ci did not defend himself elaborately.

That rascal had continued crying even though he had been told that his Mommy was fine.

Huo Ci’s comeback infuriated Ling Sheng even more. She saw red and her lips curled up coldly. Meanwhile, sarcasm flashed across her eyes where she deliberately pushed his sore spot and criticized him in an enigmatic tone. “Right, Movie King Huo has of course not raised a child before. What an irresponsible horse!”
