627: Becoming Increasingly Jealous

Becoming Increasingly Jealous

Huo Ci took Yan Yuanfei back safely before returning home. When he pushed the door open and entered, the living room was brightly lit. Upon seeing Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi, he heaved a sigh of relief.2

When he heard the door open, Huo Xiao turned around to scold him. However, when he saw the gift his granddaughter had bought for him, he was so happy that his mouth could not close. It was a delicate and pretty snuff bottle.

Ling Sheng looked at the door and was about to greet him with a smile when her grandpa took a look at her. She coughed naturally and did not say anything.

Xiaoqi was a fan of his grandpa, so his big eyes lit up. Grandpa was back. Before he could get up, Huo Xiao patted him lightly. He gave him a look, and he sat down obediently.

Su Xiyin placed some colorful scarves and shawls on the sofa. She picked one up and gestured as she asked happily, "Hubby, hubby, do you think this one looks nice?"

Huo Xiao first gave Huo Ci a death stare before smiling lovingly at his wife. "Yes, they both look nice."

He was in a good mood now. If he did not slap this scumbag, he would wait until tomorrow. How dare he run away alone and abandon his granddaughter and Xiaoqi? He must have a death wish!

Su Xiyin hesitated again. "But Hubby, don't you think the color is a little too bright? I'm already old. That's not a good idea."

"It is." Upon seeing that she looked nice no matter what, Huo Xiao nodded repeatedly. "It's nice. It's really nice. Who said you can't wear bright clothes when you're old?"

"Exactly." Ling Sheng added, "Grandma, any one of them would look nice. What kind of society is this? Age is not an issue. Besides, you are not old at all. You will always be the most beautiful angel in my heart!"

Upon seeing that the pot was still warm and filled with ginger sugar water and eggs, Huo Ci took the initiative to scoop some into a bowl. When he walked out of the kitchen, he heard Ling Sheng's words and gave her a disdainful look. That brat! Look at her! What a bootlicker!

Xiaoqi was sitting on a colorful reed mat and playing with various beautiful shells. His eyes lit up in excitement. They were all gifts his mother had brought back.

As Huo Ci chewed on the egg, he shot Xiaoqi a resentful look. When he saw how happy Xiaoqi was, he held his breath. That brat. He didn't even know how to greet him properly when he got back. All he knew was how to have fun!

Ling Sheng was trying on scarves with her grandma, as well as various pretty local accessories, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, anklets, and waist chains. They were all very unique.

The more Huo Ci ate, the sourer the sugar water felt. No one cared about him. Look over there. Xiaoqi had gotten a gift. His father had gotten a gift, and so had his mother. Where was his gift? Where was his gift?

Soon, the family put away everything. When Su Xiyin went over, she placed down the pretty caster Ling Sheng had brought back and looked at him as she ordered him, "Wash the pot and the bowl after eating."

Huo Ci's throat was full of blood, and he felt terrible. He shouted at Ling Sheng, who had just come out of the washroom. "Come and wash the dishes!"

Huo Xiao was about to enter the room when he heard him shout. His voice was even louder than his. "Who did you ask to wash the dishes? Say that again?"

Huo Ci gave up. Okay, the whole family had teamed up to mock him. Hadn't he just not brought them home? Were the two of them fools? Did they not know how to take a taxi back?

Ling Sheng smiled at Huo Ci, revealing her white teeth. "Father, this day has been hard on you. Sleep early after you're done brushing. Goodnight."
