Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 780: Powerful Backer

Since he did not allow her to go, she would not go then! What else could she do? Her father was originally in a bad mood today. She should not try to pull the whiskers off the tiger’s head anymore[1]. Otherwise, if he really got angry, it would probably be a super big storm that she could not withstand.

Huo Ci looked at her. “You can sleep with Xiaoqi. I’ll sleep in the extra bed.”

Ling Sheng agreed, “Okay.”

In the end, she still did not get the chance to see Auntie Yu. She was displeased inwardly, but did not dare say anything in front of her father either, so she could only restrain herself.

However, after this incident happened, she became even more curious. Her father obviously cared a lot. He cared so much. Why was he still so stubborn? What kind of misunderstanding could not be cleared up?

What exactly had happened between the two of them back then to cause such a complicated situation right now? What a headache!

Xiaoqi was sick, so Ling Sheng could not sleep well either. She kept testing his temperature every few minutes habitually. She only fell into a groggy sleep at daybreak.

Before the doctor had come to check on Xiaoqi in the morning, she had already woken up. She had even gone to the market and returned to cook breakfast herself. She could eat the food outside herself, but she did not want Xiaoqi to eat them as she was worried. It would be too far away to ask a private restaurant that she was familiar with to send food over. The taste would have changed by the time it arrived.

Huo Ci, who was also awake by now, lay on the bed and scrolled through his phone. The expression in his eyes changed again and again. When he saw the trending headlines, his lips curled up coldly.

Great!

How great!

Now, it had changed into a situation where he had secretly had a child with Ling Sheng. He wanted to see what other kind of tricks this bunch of d*mn paparazzi could come up with.

Not only did this bunch of stinky bugs not go home for New Year’s Eve, but they even dared to shadow him! Looks like they were not afraid of death!

Ten minutes had passed, but it was still on the hottest search topics. Its popularity kept rising, and he called Zuo Ming straight away in anger. “Investigate! Find out who did this. Since he doesn’t want to celebrate the New Year properly, I’ll grant his wish!”

Ling Sheng had just finished cooking porridge when her phone rang. It was Shi Lingyu. She was very worried. “Are you alright? How’s Xiaoqi?”

Ling Sheng was stunned. “How did you know?”

The doctors and nurses had been hired by her father. Logically speaking, this should have been kept a secret. No one should know that they had come to the hospital.

Unless…

They had been tailed by the paparazzi!

“You and my Huo Ci are on the trending search topics #HiddenMarriageandChild#.” Shi Lingyu sighed, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know? It’s been up there for half an hour. Why hasn’t the neighbor removed it from the trending search topics? What’s wrong with the two of you?”

Upon hearing approaching footsteps, Ling Sheng hummed and said, “I’ve already broken up with him.”

“What?” Shi Lingyu let out an earth-shaking scream. No wonder the trending topic had not been removed and the neighbor had not come out to clarify either. She asked carefully, “Sheng Sheng, are you joking with me?”

Ling Sheng knew that her father was there, so she added, “Can I joke about something like this? We really broke up.”

“Then, hurry up. Go take a look and take it off the trending topics. This bunch of fools! Today, my Ci and the Movie Queen secretly married and had a child. The next day, my Ci and you secretly got married and had a child. Who else will it be the day after tomorrow?” Shi Lingyu was angry. “Make your relationship with the Movie King public. Wouldn’t it be less troublesome if you just said that he’s your uncle?”

Ling Sheng declared righteously, “You know me. I don’t want to rely on other people’s reputation to gain some glory. By then, no matter how well I perform, they’ll say that she’s capable because her backer is powerful.”
