Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle Chapter 755 - Eating Together

Chapter 755: Eating Together

Huo Ci had not expected to be exposed on the spot. However, he did not appear awkward at all. In fact, he was unusually calm. “Didn’t I agree to teach you how to play drums when we get back tonight?”

Xiaoqi’s small head tilted, and his big eyes were full of doubt. Upon seeing Grandpa give him a meaningful look, he nodded politely to give him face. “Mommy, we agreed that we would practice the drums tonight.”

Ling Sheng and Nangong Lengyu saw Huo Ci’s little actions but could not be bothered to expose him. It was difficult for him to find a child to cover up for him.

“Can you practice tomorrow? Mommy wants to treat all of you to a meal,” Ling Sheng smiled at her son and asked.

Xiaoqi looked at Huo Ci’s expression.

Huo Ci frowned. “The food outside is not clean. He’s already sick. What if his stomach hurts from the food?”

Ling Sheng really could not refute that. She invited him symbolically. “Uncle, Auntie Yu and you brought Xiaoqi to the hospital for treatment. It’s been hard on you two. I want to treat the both of you to a meal to express my grat.i.tude.”

She thought about bringing her son to have dinner with Auntie Yu. The three of them would definitely be very happy. Even if she used her toes to think, she knew that her father would definitely reject the idea.

Upon hearing her change the way she addressed Nangong Lengyu from ‘Older Sister’ to ‘Auntie’, Huo Ci frowned slightly. His mouth had already spoken before his brain could think clearly. “Mhm.”

That casual ‘mhm’ made Ling Sheng’s heart stop in shock. Her eyes widened suddenly, but they soon returned to normal. She let out a low cough and smiled at Nangong Lengyu. “Auntie Yu, what about you? Do you have time tonight?”

This was too sudden!

That her father would actually agree without thinking… She did not know how to react for a moment.

Upon seeing the flash of surprise on the brat’s face, Huo Ci felt indignant. She did not want him to go. Dream on, he wanted to go then!

If he agreed first, she would definitely reject the meal.

However, at that moment, his emotions were complicated and chaotic. He knew that she would reject, but he also had an indescribable sense of antic.i.p.ation.

Nangong Lengyu said without thinking too, “I have nothing to do tonight. I’ll follow your arrangements.”

Ling Sheng was fl.u.s.tered. She stole a look at the two big shots in front of her and felt that she was under a lot of pressure. If she did not arrange it well, something major might happen.

However, when she thought about it, she felt that nothing would happen either. Since the two of them could bring Xiaoqi to the hospital to see a doctor together, there was nothing wrong with having a meal together!

Nangong Lengyu had not expected that the two of them would eat at the same table again after more than 20 years. And that it would in such a manner. She had once thought that she would never see him again in this lifetime, let alone eat with him.

However, if she let go of the grudges of the past and faced him with a normal heart, she did not find it so unbearable either. Everything was nothing, and it was not as difficult as she had imagined.

Huo Ci was ordering food when he told the waiter, “Please cook the food spicier and more numbing. Don’t add ginger, scallions, or star anise.”

“Yes, Mr. Huo.” The waiter had not expected to see the central figures who had whipped up a storm of gossip in the entertainment circle today. Best Actress Nangong Lengyu and Best Actor Huo Ci had brought their rumored son along with Ling Sheng!

There was a table full of handsome men and beautiful women, including a delicate-looking child. They looked extremely pleasing to the eye. The Best Actress had maintained her looks too well. When she sat beside Ling Sheng, they looked like sisters.

Best Actor Huo Ci lived up to his reputation. He was like a walking statue of David, and his figure and appearance were flawless. He did not look like a 40-year-old man at all. He was compatible with either of the two beauties opposite him.
