Xiaoqi watched as his grandpa kept looking at his phone, flipping it from time to time as though he was waiting for someone to call. His big bright eyes looked at him and asked, “Grandpa, are you really bringing me to participate in the show? Will grandma come along?”

Grandpa had already agreed before grandma did. If grandma did not go, grandpa would definitely not be willing to bring him to the show.

“What would you say if your grandma said that she would bring you to the show but not with me?” Huo Ci had to settle the rascal first. As long as the rascal insisted, there was nothing she could do, she could only go along with him. Thinking about how much she doted on the rascal, he felt a little jealous.

“If grandpa doesn’t go, Xiaoqi won’t go either,” Xiaoqi replied firmly. His big eyes darted around before he asked, “Grandpa, grandma will definitely go with us to the show, right?”

Huo Ci’s face was stern as he told him seriously, “Doesn’t this depend on your performance? When the time comes, you have to hold on and not compromise. If not, both of us won’t go. If you dare to betray me, I won’t play with you in the future.”

Xiaoqi nodded his little head vigorously, with an expression as though he was accepting a major mission. He clenched his fists to show his determination. “Grandpa, Xiaoqi understands.”

Ling Sheng did not expect her father’s scheme to succeed. Although she despised his way of using Xiaoqi as a bargaining chip, she was genuinely happy for him. He had the resolve to woo his wife. It was praiseworthy that he took the first step.

“Sheng Sheng, the show is scheduled for next weekend. Your father and I will bring Xiaoqi onto the show. Do you have any objections?” Nangong Lengyu asked her daughter.

She did not want to go on the show with Huo Ci, but she had no choice. The kid wanted to go onto the show with both his grandparents, if either of them did not go, he would not go either.

For the sake of the kid, they would film the show together. Within the entertainment industry, there were many people that we might not like. But when we have to work together, we would still be polite and amiable. It would only take two days at most. With the kid around, enduring it was no big deal.

“Okay.” Ling Sheng was all smiles as she sent a message to Jun Shiyan. “Mom, I have no objections. You can discuss it with Dad. Xiaoqi will definitely be very happy to play with the two of you.”

Nangong Lengyu agreed. She was feeling worried and really did not want to go on the show with Huo Ci. She looked at her daughter. “Are you that happy?”

Ling Sheng’s expression turned serious as she hid the excitement in her heart. “If Xiaoqi is happy, I will be happy.”

“If you two are happy, so am I.” Nangong Lengyu smiled as well. She called her over to look at the photos taken during the day and to choose them with her.

“Mom, look at this. Is this the candy you ate?” Ling Sheng pretended to be surprised as she shouted. She ran over and showed her the phone. “Is it this?”

In the afternoon, when she was looking for the candy, she found the news about the candy factory from 23 years ago. It was the brand of candy that her mother ate.

After scrolling through the comments, she found out that someone had revealed that Movie King Huo had invested in the candy factory. There was only one requirement, that the candy’s taste and packaging had to be exactly the same as before.

When Nangong Lengyu saw the news report, she was also very happy. She said with a smile, “Isn’t nostalgia the trend now? I see that there are people in the shopping mall who specialize in such nostalgic snack shops. The profits should be quite good. Ever since I left China, this is the first time I’ve tasted the same taste.”

Ling Sheng sat by the side and read the news report with her. As she scrolled through it, she saw the comment that she wanted her mother to see. She looked very surprised. “My father invested in this candy factory to restart the production? Why didn’t I know?”

Nangong Lengyu was originally very happy, but when she saw this, a complicated look flashed across her eyes. She looked at Ling Sheng. “Sheng Sheng, tell Mom the truth. Are you still thinking that your dad and I will get back together?”

“Yes.” Ling Sheng was an honest child. She answered obediently and asked her cautiously, “Mom, is it still possible for you and dad?”

Anyway, her father wanted them to get back together now, but her mother did not seem to have that intention. Of course, she wanted the two of them to reconcile, but whether they could reconcile in the end was not up to her to decide. It still depended on what they thought.

“No.” Nangong Lengyu’s answer was resolute and decisive. She sneered with obvious mockery. “Sheng Sheng, the past is the past. Our relationship is a thing of the past. We can’t be together anymore.”

“Mom, you also said that the past is the past. As a person, you have to look forward to the future. Dad still can’t forget you. Are you really not going to consider him?” Ling Sheng felt that although her mother said that, she might not think that way.

She was still holding the paper cranes from the afternoon. She could feel the nostalgia in her eyes. How could she not have any feelings for him? Even if she hated him, she had hated him for so many years. Was that not enough?

“I won’t think about it anymore.” Nangong Lengyu held her daughter’s hand. “Do you find me a burden and don’t want to take care of me? Must you find someone else for me?”

Ling Sheng hurriedly shook her head and hugged her. “Mom, how could I not take care of you? I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life. It’s better if we don’t find someone else for you. With my dad’s bad temper, who can stand him?”

Nangong Lengyu hugged her daughter as her slender and fair hands patted her back. She grunted softly and her mind was in a whirl. They were no longer together, and it was impossible for them to get back together. After being hurt once, she did not want to experience that again. She was old and could not withstand the torment anymore.

Right now, she only had one wish—to live a good life with her daughter and grandchildren.

As for Huo Ci, her daughter and grandson were his as well, so she did not have the authority to stop him. They would inevitably need to meet and spend time together, so she would take things easy.

When Su Xiyin found out that Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu were going to bring Xiaoqi onto the show, she asked Huo Xiao, “Hubby, what do you think Ci’er and Yu’er are thinking? You said that the incident back then was a misunderstanding, but the two of them have avoided mentioning it. What’s the meaning of dragging this on?

The misunderstanding had already been resolved. Sheng Sheng had already grown so big. How much hatred and resentment did she have? Clearly, they had loved each other dearly back then. When Yu’er left, Ci’er was so dispirited.. She only managed to pull herself together after being beaten up by her husband.
