Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 990: Suffer Greatly while Chasing His Wife in the Future

“Pfft, you’re the pretty boy!” Nangong Lengyu’s face was cold. Who was he insulting by calling a pretty boy over and over again?! After saying that, she stopped wasting her breath on him and turned to leave.

Two of Huo Ci’s lackeys blocked her way.

“Pretty boy, you’re quite arrogant! Do you know who our Brother Ci is? How dare you reject our Brother Ci? I think you don’t want to stay in the capital anymore, right?!” This was the first time this sidekick had seen such a domineering person. Not only had he slandered Brother Ci, but he also refused to give him any face.

“I don’t care if he’s the emperor,” Nangong Lengyu frowned with a frosty expression. “Get out of the way.”

She was reluctant to stoop to their level, but they were unwilling to let her off now. Were there such rogues and hooligans everywhere in China?

Huo Ci gave her a lazy sideways look. Upon seeing that she was about to get angry, he smiled and ordered, “Forget it. Let her go!”

Ling Sheng stole a look at her father and realized that he had been staring at her mother the whole time. Could this be the legendary love at first fight?

Yes, yes, this is promising! Interest is the beginning of love. Her father had obviously started to become interested in her mother already.

However, she had heard that later on, her mother was the one to take the initiative to woo her father. According to the current situation, her father had been so arrogant the first time they had met. He had nearly struck her too! Wouldn’t he suffer greatly while chasing his wife in the future?

Both Nangong Lengyu and Huo Ci left. The duo headed in opposite directions.

Ling Sheng, who had tried to mediate the fight, was confused at the side. The duo had left just like that without saying a word to her? Logically speaking, it was very normal for her mother to ignore her. She didn’t know her after all. But her father should say something!

Jun Shiyan looked at the young lady and reached out his hand. “What are you looking at? I’m the only one left.”

Ling Sheng took his arm. She could still see her father’s back in front of her. When she looked back, she could not even see her mother’s shadow. She looked up at the man. “Third Master, do you think my mother likes me?”

Jun Shiyan asked, “What do you think?”

Ling Sheng said, “Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad were so friendly to me as soon as they saw me. But why isn’t my mother like that?”

“Isn’t it because she was fighting with your father? She didn’t notice you.” Jun Shiyan had not expected her to feel sad. He smiled and said, “Little lady, you’re still young. You have to remember that the person who treats you the best in the world is right by your side. Don’t look around blindly.”

Ling Sheng let out a snort and poked his arm with her finger. “Why are you so narcissistic?”

“This is self-confidence.” Jun Shiyan held the young lady’s hand and looked at the lively surroundings. All the unrealistic feelings in the past suddenly became real at this moment.

Nangong Lengyu had come to the night market to eat. There was nothing that could restore one’s mood faster than eating a meal. If it did not work, simply have another meal.

While she was sitting at the barbecue stall eating grilled food, she saw the little girl who had called her ‘Mom’ immediately. She was with a rather handsome and mature man. Their actions were very intimate, and they looked like a couple. Her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she was already feeling upset.

Ling Sheng wanted to eat barbecued meat and was dragging Jun Shiyan over, insisting that they buy some when someone called out to her. As soon as she looked up, she saw that it was her mother. She waved her arm happily, turned her head, and made a face at the man smugly before running over.

Upon seeing the young lady run over happily, Nangong Lengyu felt suffocated in her heart. She did not know if the whole of China was like this. That man was already so old, so how could he act so intimately with a little girl? No matter which country one was in, carrying out indecent acts with young girls was a felony that broke the law.

“Big Sister.” It was not appropriate for Ling Sheng to call her ‘Mom’ when she just met her, otherwise, she would be terribly shocked.

Nangong Lengyu’s eyes widened abruptly as she looked at her in disbelief. She started coughing lowly and choked on the chili. “You… What nonsense are you saying?!”

How had she seen through her disguise at a glance? What kind of eyes did this young girl have? Fiery, golden eyes[1]?

“Shh!” Ling Sheng covered her own mouth and smiled at her. “I know it’s a secret. I won’t tell anyone.”

Nangong Lengyu looked at the pretty, adorable, and smart young lady in front of her and pulled her to sit down. “How can you tell?”

Ling Sheng boasted smugly, “I’m the reincarnation of Sun Wukong. I have sharp eyes.”

Nangong Lengyu said, “You’re not allowed to tell anyone, understand?”

Ling Sheng was very obedient. She made a zipping gesture with her mouth and nodded. “I promise not to tell anyone.”

Only then did Nangong Lengyu relax. She turned around and took another look at Jun Shiyan.

Jun Shiyan smiled and imitated the young lady, gesturing, “I promise I won’t either.”

“Hurry up and eat. If you don’t eat, it’ll get cold.” Ling Sheng had already started eating. There was no need for anyone to take care of her. After eating a lamb skewer, she asked, “Big Brother, did you call me for something?”

Nangong Lengyu paused for a moment before saying, “I’m out of money. Can you lend me some money to pay the bill?”

After saying that, she deeply felt that this was a really great excuse. After borrowing money, wouldn’t she have to return it? Over time, she would get to know the young girl well.

She did not know why either, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw her. The feeling was as though she was an awfully close family member.

Upon seeing her with such a mature man, she was naturally unhappy inwardly. Even she felt it was too strange to have such a feeling.

“Money? I have it, I have it.” Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly and reached her hand out for the wallet. “Third Master, give me your wallet!”

Nangong Lengyu frowned slightly as she looked at the man in front of her. She felt very strange inside, but since they had just met, she could not say anything. She just didn’t like him. This man must be a beast, right? How could he lay his hands on such a young girl?

Jun Shiyan sighed in his heart. It had not been easy for him to finally persuade the young lady to go home to eat. However, after Nangong Lengyu caught her attention, she finally got her wish.

“You are?” Nangong Lengyu looked at them with a slightly complicated expression.

“He’s my fiancé.” When Ling Sheng said this, she was actually a little embarrassed. Her mother looked at the Third Master as though he was a weird uncle.

“Fiancé?” Nangong Lengyu’s voice suddenly became louder. Actually, it was not that unbelievable. After all, she had also known since she was young that she had been betrothed as a child too. She was not much better than her.

However, she was at least the same age as her fiancé! There wasn’t such a huge difference between them. No matter what, the difference here had to be at least ten years. It was too easy for men at this age to be impulsive. If he could not control himself… The girl was too young.

“Yes.” Ling Sheng knew what she was thinking. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Big Sister, our relationship is very pure. He’s not that kind of person.”

Jun Shiyan only saw the two of them whispering, but he could not hear what they were saying. Then, he saw the young lady giggle and nod in agreement.

His first thought was that the two of them were talking about him!
