Jun Shiyan only felt his blood evaporate with her soft, tearful voice. His rationality was crumbling bit by bit. He waved the doctor away and looked at her. His voice was unusually hoarse, but it carried a provocative sensuality. “Are you sure?”

Ling Sheng’s eyes were moist, making her look even more vibrant and breathtakingly alluring. She licked her somewhat dry lips and nodded in annoyance. “Do you want it or not?”

Jun Shiyan’s voice became even deeper. “I’m afraid you’ll regret it if you’re not ready.”

Ling Sheng already couldn’t take it anymore. If this continued, her whole body would be burned to ashes by the blazing fire. She had never thought that he was so indecisive. She questioned him angrily, “Jun Shiyan, are you still a man or not?”

Xu Xi stood guard at the door. The soundproofing quality of the ward was very good. He didn’t hear what the duo had said in the front, nor did he dare to listen in either. However, he had clearly heard Ling Sheng’s last roar before she fell silent again.

The corners of his lips curled up secretly and ambiguously. The Third Master can’t possibly take it anymore. Which man would be willing to be doubted in this field by the woman he loved?

The Third Master’s exclusive VIP ward had all kinds of comprehensive facilities. It was comparable to a five-star hotel. Pfft, a five-star hotel couldn’t compare to it. It was similar to his bedroom at home. Even if they got down to business, the environment and experience weren’t bad at all too.

…

The Huo estate was still brightly lit.

Huo Ci was playing drums upstairs with Xiaoqi.

Nangong Lengyu had made supper. She had followed a recipe for the lotus seed soup. She brought it up for the duo to eat. Just as she stood at the door, she heard the duo’s conversation from inside. They had even deliberately lowered their voices.

“Grandpa, what if Grandma finds out?”

“As long as you don’t say, she won’t know.”

“Xiaoqi won’t say, but when Grandma found out that Xiaoqi was sick, she got very worried. It’s wrong of Xiaoqi to do this. Xiaoqi can’t lie to Grandma. Mommy will be angry if she finds out.”

“You still want your heartless mother to know?!”

As Nangong Lengyu listened to the conversation inside, the expression in her eyes started to change gradually. Her hands, which were holding the tray, started to tighten involuntarily. Lying to her? He used Xiaoqi’s illness to trick her into coming over? Huo Ci, this son of a gun!

When Huo Ci heard a sound outside, he frowned strangely. He pushed the door open and stuck his head out. He saw Nangong Lengyu’s figure going down the stairs immediately. His eyes suddenly sharpened as he sighed in frustration. He turned around and glared at Xiaoqi fiercely. She must have heard this damn brat spouting nonsense inside!

Xiaoqi ran out on his short legs. Upon hearing his grandma call out to him, he ran down excitedly. “Xiaoqi will be down soon. Grandma, wait a minute.”

Huo Ci stood on the second floor and watched as the woman placed the tray on the coffee table. There were two bowls of lotus seed soup placed on it. One look and one could tell that they were definitely for him and the kid. His eyes landed on her strangely for a moment, and his brows furrowed slightly. He had a faint feeling that this was the calm before a storm.

Nangong Lengyu didn’t say anything or ask anything. Her smile was gentle as she fed Xiaoqi a bowl. The little guy was embarrassed and wanted to eat on his own. She said, “Xiaoqi is sick. Grandma will feed you.”

Xiaoqi’s tiny face flushed instantly, and even the tips of his ears turned pink. He took a look at Grandpa secretly, pursed his lips, and nodded with difficulty while humming in acquiescence guiltily.

Nangong Lengyu swept a look over Huo Ci, her eyes chilly and full of obvious mockery. To think that she had thought he was much more reliable now before she had heard their conversation. However, what had he done? He had made Xiaoqi use his illness as an excuse to trick her.

Just thinking about it infuriated her. The old saying was indeed true. A dog could never change its way of eating feces. He would always be like this. He couldn’t change!

Xiaoqi was very well-behaved as he ate the porridge his grandma fed him. However, he felt extremely uneasy. Grandpa had said that his grandma definitely wouldn’t discover it, but why did he feel that she already knew?

Nangong Lengyu fed Xiaoqi the whole bowl of lotus seed soup and wiped his mouth before patting his head. “Xiaoqi, go to bed first. Grandma has something to tell your grandpa.”

Xiaoqi looked at Grandpa worriedly. Upon seeing him nod, he jogged back to his bedroom. His heart raced as he turned around and stood quietly at the door, wanting to know what Grandma wanted to tell Grandpa.

Nangong Lengyu was afraid that Xiaoqi would be listening, so she deliberately went to the balcony. She looked at the man in front of her and tried her best to calm down. Why would she be angry with a scumbag? “Huo Ci, is this how you educate a child? How old is Xiaoqi? Instead of teaching him good deeds, you’re teaching him how to lie!”

Huo Ci didn’t deny it. He looked as though he didn’t care. “You’re his grandma. You can’t always let me watch over and take care of him alone. You have a responsibility to take care of him too!”

Nangong Lengyu hated seeing him behave like this. Her fury rose as she let out a cold laugh. “Then, can’t you simply talk to me nicely? I can also take Xiaoqi away. How can you teach him to lie? Do you know that he’s young now and is at the age where he needs to be properly guided? If you do this, you’ll corrupt him.”

“Did I lead him astray? Did I teach him how to kill and commit arson? Or did I teach him how to loaf around without decent work?” Huo Ci let out a snort. “Stop lecturing me righteously. Since I’m raising him, I’ll teach him whatever I want. Even if the emperor comes, he won’t be able to control me.”

Nangong Lengyu hated seeing him like this the most. She growled angrily, “Huo Ci!”

Huo Ci smiled. “I’m here.”

Nangong Lengyu held back a mouthful of blood at his words. “I don’t want to quarrel with you. I came to visit Xiaoqi, not to quarrel with you. Since you don’t know how to teach a child, fine. Then, I’ll take Xiaoqi away.”

Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. “Do you think I want to quarrel with you? You’re so busy. Would you have come if Xiaoqi had asked you to visit him? Didn’t he call you every day? Did you come? Do you only care about working and earning money every day? Is the Nangong Family that short of money?”

Nangong Lengyu’s chest heaved violently from his twisted logic. She tried her best to calm down. “Stop finding excuses. You’re twisting your words! Do you think you’re still reasonable for teaching a child to lie?”

How laughable. He was obviously the one in the wrong. He was also the one who had taught Xiaoqi to lie. Not only did he not repent, but he had even twisted the truth and pushed the blame on her. Had she asked him not to teach the child proper values?

Xiaoqi stood outside and listened to his grandma and grandpa. Because he had pretended to be sick, they had started quarreling loudly. Their voices were getting louder and louder, and the duo was getting angrier and angrier. His face wilted like frostbitten eggplants. He rubbed his nose sadly before turning around and running to the bathroom.

Same meaning as the English saying that a leopard can’t change its spots..
