Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 739: Intentionally Leaving The Door Unlocked

Xiaoqi felt very guilty. If he had not wanted to eat the cake, Great-grandpa would not have given it to Grandpa. Then, Grandpa would not have eaten the spoiled cake either. He wanted to find Grandpa, but he did not dare. Grandpa was very angry and would scold him.

Grandpa would definitely have diarrhea since he ate a rotten cake. Mommy said that if someone ate something bad, he would have diarrhea. His stomach would hurt terribly.

The little guy worried about it on his own for a long time before he quietly found the belly button patch Ling Sheng had pasted on him the last time he had had a tummy ache. He strode over on his short legs to find Grandpa.

Ling Sheng did not know what her son was doing. When she came out after drying her hair and putting on a facial mask, she saw the little guy standing at her father’s door. He hesitated for a long time before knocking.

“Scram!” Huo Ci threw a pillow at the doorway and it smashed against the door.

Xiaoqi’s face suddenly changed in fright and he even retreated two steps. Then, he cleared his throat and informed the person inside in a soft, childish voice, “Grandpa, Xiaoqi is coming in.”

Huo Ci bore a black face. “Scram!”

Xiaoqi, who was now used to being shouted at, was not afraid anymore. He pushed the door open directly and dashed in. When he entered the room, he shook off his slippers and ran toward the bed with his short legs.

Ling Sheng had initially wanted to carry her son away when she heard her father roar. Upon seeing her son run in, she shook her head helplessly and sighed deeply.

According to her observation during this period, if her father did not want to bother with others and was truly enraged, he would definitely lock the door. No one would be able to enter.

However, if he urgently needed someone to comfort him but could not let go of his pride, he would not lock the door. He deliberately left it open for someone to comfort his wounded heart.

“Grandpa.” Xiaoqi climbed onto the bed and smiled at him. “Grandpa, are you all right? Does your stomach hurt?”

Huo Ci’s face was cold, and he felt extremely aggrieved. What right did he have to treat him that way? He was not a dog. Was he in charge of testing poison too?! The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. “Get lost. Who told you to come in? Get lost!”

Xiaoqi did not care. He climbed onto the bed and threw himself on him. He unfolded his small fist to reveal a diarrhea patch. Then, he lifted his grandpa’s clothes and pasted the diarrhea patch on him very seriously. He muttered to himself, “Grandpa, this is a belly button patch. Last time, when Xiaoqi had a tummy ache, Mommy pasted this on me. It won’t hurt anymore!”

Huo Ci grunted haughtily. When he looked at the child lying on top of him, the expression in his eyes softened a lot, and his heart did not feel so terrible anymore.

Ling Sheng brought two cups of hot milk over and knocked on the door before pushing it open. She saw the grandpa-grandson duo lying on the bed, reading a book. It was a new map sketchbook she had bought for Xiaoqi. It was practically an encyclopedia. The little guy liked it so much.

“Father, have a glass of milk and go to bed!” Ling Sheng smiled as she passed a glass of milk to each of them.

Huo Ci gave her an unhappy look. Actually, his anger had mostly dissipated. He frowned and asked, “Is there more in the fridge?”

Ling Sheng shook her head and promised solemnly, “No, I’ll be more careful in the future. That cake was in the corner. I forgot to throw it away.”

Huo Ci nodded and passed the empty glass to her. He hugged the blanket and lay down before looking at Xiaoqi. “Quickly turn off the lights and sleep.”

Ling Sheng said, “I’ll turn it off for you. Go to sleep!”

She had just switched off the lights and was about to close the door when she heard her father say, “We’ll go back to the old residence on New Year’s Eve. Get ready.”

“Okay!” Ling Sheng answered weakly. Every single cell in her body was shouting that she did not want to go back.
