Ever since the incident, he had become completely alone. Even Grandma, who would usually come to his aid, wasn’t speaking up for him now. His son’s attitude toward him had clearly become distant.

He only had his young lady now.

“How superficial,” Ling Sheng pouted and turned around to hand the clothes to the older sister shop assistant. “Just this, please.”

The older sister shop assistant looked at the girl in front of her and just felt that she looked a little familiar. After looking at her for a long time, she finally realized. “You’re Ling Sheng, right?!”

Ling Sheng shook her head, not wanting to blow her cover. She smiled and said, “No, many people say that I look like her!”

“So sorry!” the shop assistant apologized in a soft voice. When she ran to the counter to settle the bill for the clothing, she then whispered to the lady at the cashier, “Have you seen Weibo? Best Actor Huo is shopping with his son!”

Ling Sheng’s ears were sharp, so she heard the shop assistant’s words immediately. The expression in her eyes changed slightly, and she more or less already knew what was going on. Son, my foot. That was her son, Best Actor Huo’s grandson. What are those people doing?! Is there something wrong with their eyes? Who had exposed this piece of news?!

Upon seeing the young lady frown as she took out her phone to swipe through some webpage, Jun Shiyan leaned over to take a look and even read it out loud. “Huo Ci has a son. Poor Ling Sheng. Tsk tsk. When the time comes, Huo Ci’s assets will definitely be left to his son.”

Ling Sheng turned her head around and shushed him, telling him to keep his voice down.

Jun Shiyan looked at her and moved closer to her ear. His breath was a little hot, but his voice was extremely sexy. “It’s all right. I’ll leave all my assets to you.”

Ling Sheng’s heart skipped a sudden beat. She let out a low cough and raised her eyebrows very haughtily, but her voice was very low. “Who wants your assets? I can support myself.”

Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh and hummed an agreement. “Okay.”

The two of them going shopping was also a kind of fun between couples. Jun Shiyan didn’t let anyone follow them. He carried all the various bags the young lady had bought.

After leaving the shop, Ling Sheng enlarged the photo of her father and son on the trending article. She leaned over toward Jun Shiyan and asked, “Third Master, don’t you think this place looks very familiar? Is this the mall we’re in?”

Jun Shiyan was about to turn around when he saw two handsome figures—one big, one small—opposite him. They were his father-in-law and son. He looked over. “Sheng Sheng.”

Ling Sheng followed his gaze, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Moreover, she could clearly see her son’s eyes sparkling with happiness as well.

Huo Ci naturally saw the duo too. His eyes turned cold as he let out a disdainful snort. He dragged Xiaoqi past them and strode off arrogantly. He had no intention of speaking to the duo.

On the other hand, Ling Sheng was still happy. The moment she called out ‘Dad’, the two of them walked past.

That’s right.

They walked right past her without even looking at her, let alone talking to her.

Jun Shiyan called Huo Ci ‘Father-in-law’, but he saw him simply walk right past him. He didn’t even bother to look at him. He sighed deeply and called out again, “Xiaoqi.”

Xiaoqi’s small hand tugged at Grandpa’s. Upon seeing Grandpa shoot him a look, he followed beside Grandpa obediently and pretended that he hadn’t seen anything. However, his big eyes were full of worry. Will Mommy be sad that he ignored her?

However, he didn’t want to see Uncle Jun or play with him.

Ling Sheng looked at Jun Shiyan in confusion. How had she offended the two of them? She could understand why her father was ignoring them, but why had her son been taught to behave this way too? No, this definitely won’t do! She stood where she was and shouted, “Ling Xiaoqi!”

Only then did Xiaoqi stop in his tracks. He turned around and even pretended to widen his eyes in surprise. “Mommy?”

Huo Ci had not expected that this little brat had even learned how to act. There was joy in his eyes and a hint of pride. He had definitely inherited his outstanding genes. Look at his face. He was a true actor. He turned around and looked at the duo walking over. He frowned but didn’t speak.

Ling Sheng knew that they had done it on purpose. Xiaoqi had obviously seen her just now, but he pretended that he hadn’t. When she walked over, she saw her son hide directly behind her father while sticking his tiny head out.

Xiaoqi greeted Jun Shiyan politely in a timid voice. “Hello, Uncle Jun.”

Jun Shiyan also smiled and nodded, but he felt a little depressed. Ever since that incident, his son never called him ‘Dad’ anymore. He could even feel that his son hated him a little.

“Let’s go.” Upon seeing that Xiaoqi had already given his greetings, Huo Ci turned around and dragged him away.

“Mommy, Grandpa and I will be leaving now.” Xiaoqi’s eyes were full of clear reluctance, but he didn’t like Uncle Jun anymore and didn’t want to be with him.

To begin with, children couldn’t hide their emotions. Their likes and dislikes were written all over their faces.

After that incident, Ling Sheng knew that her son had developed resistance toward the Third Master. Before he had known that he was his biological father, he had liked him a lot and treated him like his real dad. However, after he had found out that he was his biological father, he had started to resist and alienate himself from Third Master.

People all said that when a child was young, he wouldn’t know anything. However, it was precisely because the child was young that he had the purest mind, hence able to draw a clear line between his likes and dislikes. Toward a father who suddenly appeared out of nowhere but treated him well, he would express his joy wholeheartedly. However, when it came to the father who had abandoned him for so many years, he would still wonder why he had abandoned them in his tiny heart. He would also feel resentment.

After she found out, she had been counseling her son and trying to explain to him why Dad had left them. He had his reasons, but the little guy was too smart. He had a yardstick in his heart for measuring what embodied a qualified father.

Clearly, the current Third Master no longer met the standards of the father he wanted.

“Xiaoqi, there’s an ice-cream cake you like here. Mommy will bring you to eat it, all right?” Ling Sheng had been training during this period and was very busy. She hadn’t had the time or opportunity to let the father and son spend more time with each other and resolve the minor misunderstanding between them.

During this period of time, it had been even more difficult for Third Master to see Xiaoqi. Her father, mother, and grandparents were all very unhappy with the Third Master right now and wouldn’t let him see his son at all.

“When we’re done eating, Dad will bring you to play on slides and the ball pit, okay?” Jun Shiyan said with a smile.

Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up for a while, but he quickly returned to normal. He shook his head. “Grandpa will take Xiaoqi out to play.”

“Grandpa is tired. Let Dad take you out to play.” Ling Sheng walked over to carry her son.

Huo Ci had already picked Xiaoqi up in his arms before her. He gave her a lazy sideways look and said the first thing after saying goodbye sarcastically, “You two can have a good time shopping together. Xiaoqi and I will play around somewhere.. We won’t disturb the two of you anymore.”
