“Third Master, Xiaoqi is just a child. It won’t be long before he forgets about that matter.” Ling Sheng lowered her voice, afraid that the excited duo laughing behind her would hear her. “If you treat him two times better in the future, he’ll slowly accept you.”

Children were the most innocent, even more so since it was her sensible and adorable son. Xiaoqi just needed some time to digest this matter.

“Mhm.” Jun s.h.i.+yan smiled gently and tilted his head to look at the young lady. “I know.”

However, the most important problem now was that he simply didn’t have many opportunities to spend time with Xiaoqi. If she wasn’t with him this time, his son probably wouldn’t even have looked at him.

Xiaoqi was watching the video, but when he saw his mommy talking to ‘him’ with her head tilted, he frowned. Mommy had said that he had had his reasons for leaving them mother and son. He hadn’t done it on purpose. However, he knew that a man who abandoned his wife and child was a very bad person no matter what reason he had.

As he had not had a father since he was young, his mommy had been cursed at, and he had been scolded. Even his grandma had been criticized by others.

All these had left an indelible shadow in his young heart.

No matter how smart Xiaoqi was or how much he tended to overthink, he was still a child after all. When he played in the ball pit, he immediately forgot all his worries and ran up and down the slide happily.

Ling Sheng accompanied her son up and down a few times. She didn’t know where he kept such a huge amount of energy in his small body. She was already tired, but the little fella seemed to have endless energy. He was still climbing up the slide with his little b.u.t.t sticking out.

When she slid down with him, as she watched the child climb up by himself, she turned around and ran toward the handsome man who was watching them from outside. She raised her head and whispered, “Third Master, come over and play too!”

Jun s.h.i.+yan looked hesitantly at the little guy, who had climbed up the slide and was about to slide down. He smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes while wiping the sweat off her face. “You guys should go ahead and play. I’ll watch.”

If he went in, his son might not have as much fun playing anymore. The little guy didn’t like him at all now, and even hated him a little.

“Xiaoqi is having fun now. He has already forgotten about the upsetting matter.” Ling Sheng turned around to take a look. The little fella was shouting for his grandpa to catch him!

Actually, there were many kinds of gaming facilities available at the amus.e.m.e.nt park. However, she didn’t know why, but her son liked to play the simplest games like ball pits, slides, and trampolines.

Huo Ci shot her a cold look. Isn’t this d.a.m.n brat embarra.s.sed at all? Even the kiddo knew that sc.u.mbag Old Jun was bad news. They were already ignoring him, but she was still treating him like a treasure.

There were so many men in the world, and any one of them was better than that sc.u.mbag Jun s.h.i.+yan. With her d*mn temperament, she really was planning to hang herself from a single tree¹.

“Dad, come with me to buy some drinks!” Ling Sheng wanted the father and son to spend some time alone to bond. She dragged Huo Ci away.

Huo Ci frowned and shot her a cold look, his att.i.tude very firm. “I’m not going!”

Ling Sheng tried to negotiate in a low voice. “Dad, if you come with me, how about I get my mom to move back home and stay with us?”

Huo Ci let out a cold snort. “What does where she stays have to do with me? I get annoyed whenever I see her! Why should she stay at my house?!”

“If you don’t want to go, then I’ll go by myself.” Ling Sheng pouted while thinking, Just go on being stubborn then.

Recently, Mom hadn’t come over for some time. Grandma had said that he seemed to have lost his soul. When he heard any noise outside, even if he was in the bedroom, he would dash out hurriedly to take a look. He wouldn’t be able to win over his wife if he continued being stubborn!

Huo Ci frowned and turned around to follow her. Upon seeing the d.a.m.n brat turn around and give him a meaningful smile, he let out a cough and tried to explain himself. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to carry everything.”

Ling Sheng couldn’t be bothered to expose him. She hummed an agreement and smiled slyly. “Dad, don’t worry. I promise I’ll keep my word.”

Upon seeing both his mommy and grandpa walk away, leaving ‘him’ in front of the slide to look at him, Xiaoqi frowned and clenched his fists tightly by his sides. When he wanted to call out for his mother, he realized that she and grandpa had already walked far away.

His big eyes grew misty. Did Mommy and Grandpa not want him anymore?

“Mommy and Grandpa went to buy orange juice for Xiaoqi.” Jun s.h.i.+yan watched as the child bit his lips and stared at the two figures moving further away. He said, “Xiaoqi, your mommy and grandpa went to buy orange juice. Dad will play with you first.”

Xiaoqi’s interest in having fun disappeared instantly. His head drooped, and he didn’t even want to play on the slide anymore. He walked down the stairs, but halfway through, a child b.u.mped into him head-on.

Jun s.h.i.+yan saw Xiaoqi’s body sway before falling forward, head-first. His tiny face was pale from fright. He moved forward instantly, taking three steps at a time while rus.h.i.+ng up the stairs. The moment he hugged his son and protected him in his arms, it was already too late for him to steady himself.

The moment he fell to the ground, his body was in a protective position as he hugged the child tightly, not allowing him to be hurt at all.

When Xiaoqi was in his arms, his small hands also grabbed his clothes tightly. He was so scared that his heart pounded wildly. After hearing a dull thud beside his ear, a m.u.f.fled groan closely followed. He raised his head nervously and saw a scratch on the man’s face. It was already bleeding. His big eyes were instantly full of tears, and his voice even became hoa.r.s.e. “Dad, you’re bleeding.”

Jun s.h.i.+yan had never known that being called ‘Dad’ would make him so happy. His heart was jumping with joy in his chest as he looked at the little guy and comforted him gently. “Dad is fine. Is Xiaoqi all right? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Xiaoqi shook his head, his nose already red. Feeling embarra.s.sed and pained, he pulled him up. When he saw Ling Sheng and Huo Ci approaching, he shouted loudly, “Mommy, Dad’s bleeding! Come over quickly!”

Ling Sheng really didn’t know if she should be happy, upset, or regretful.

Her son had nearly gotten injured. The Third Master’s arm had been scratched, and even his handsome face was bleeding. She felt extremely reproachful toward herself when she saw this.

However, this was the first time her son had called him ‘Dad’ after that incident. They had finally taken the first step to breaking the ice in their father-son relations.h.i.+p. She felt very thankful too.

Xiaoqi stood by the side nervously and watched his mother treat his father’s wound. In a soft voice, he asked, “Dad, are you in pain?”

Upon seeing his son’s uneasy expression, Jun s.h.i.+yan smiled and shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Xiaoqi sniffled with red eyes. It was all his fault. If he hadn’t been careless, Dad wouldn’t have been injured from saving him. And he wouldn’t be bleeding either. It must have hurt a lot. Whenever Xiaoqi went for injections, they always hurt a lot. It had also hurt a lot when he had sc.r.a.ped his knee.
