Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 992: Isn’t It Good to be Alive?

Upon seeing the child run off like a waddling duck, he could clearly see the languid back view of the woman in the kitchen from the corner of his eye.

His lips curled up suddenly, and his heart also felt full. It was as though the emptiness in the huge house had become all filled up because of their arrival.

Nangong Lengyu was still okay with frying eggs. She still couldn’t control the fire well for cooking soft-boiled eggs. After simmering them in water, all of them became fully-cooked eggs.

Ling Sheng did not say anything during the meal. Anyway, as long as it was made by her mother, she would say it was delicious. As a chef, she hated people who did not know how to cook or simply sat back yet were still picky!

In the end, the picky troublemaker arrived immediately. After taking a bite of the egg, Huo Ci muttered, “Why isn’t it runny?”

Ling Sheng sighed in her heart. Isn’t it good to be alive? Her mother had woken up so early to prepare breakfast. Not only did a big idle guy like him not help at all, but he had even started complaining so she kicked him under the table.

Look at him. He must have gone out to run and sweat on purpose early in the morning. He could take a shower after sweating. Right now, he was wearing a bathrobe with the collar slightly open, revealing his attractive collarbones. His hair was not completely dry, and the dense humidity made his handsome face look even more seductive.

Oh my, one truly couldn’t afford to mess with a 40-year-old man! His sexy appearance made one scream with how tantalizing it was!

However, even though he was dressed like this, her mother had not given him another look. Her gaze never landed on him from start to end.

Surprisingly, Nangong Lengyu didn’t get angry and even ignored him. She didn’t even look at him. She only told Ling Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, Mom will be able to produce an egg with a soft yolk after practicing a few more times.”

The eggs had already been fried and she did not have the habit of wasting food either. Since she didn’t manage to cook soft-boiled eggs, they would make do with these!

Xiaoqi, who was a quick-witted kid, took a big bite of the fried egg and smiled till his eyes curved. “Grandma, it’s delicious! The eggs are delicious!”

Ling Sheng said, “Mom, this is good. It’s delicious. I like it a lot.”

Huo Ci looked at the two bootlickers in front of him and harrumphed inwardly. Since she did not know how to cook, why did she ask them what type they wanted to eat? So unnecessary!

After dinner, Ling Sheng went to the audition and drove the new car her mother had given her.

Nangong Lengyu could have driven a car herself. But she wanted to be with her daughter so she got a lift to the company.

Huo Ci’s flight to Europe in the afternoon was to film an advertisement. After the mother-daughter duo left, he took his time to send Xiaoqi to the kindergarten. He called the two elders at home and asked them to come over to pick Xiaoqi up at night.

Ling Sheng had been scheduled to audition rather early in the morning. When she went downstairs after she was done, she happened to see a familiar figure in the lounge of the office building. She chased after him hurriedly. “Second Uncle!”

Yan Yuanfei’s assistant, Jiang Pei, was pushing the wheelchair. Upon seeing that Yan Yuanfei had not heard her, he leaned over and whispered in his ear, “Second Master, it’s Ms. Sheng Sheng.”

Only then did Yan Yuanfei turn his head around. However, he could not see clearly either. He just saw a small figure running toward him excitedly. When she reached him, she even swayed for a bit, having lost her footing. He reached out to support her. “Why are you here?”

“I was wondering why you were here.” Ling Sheng grinned as she took over Jiang Pei’s job and pushed the wheelchair. “I’m here for the audition.”

This is an office building. Did Second Uncle come to discuss some business?

“I’m here to deal with some personal matters,” Yan Yuanfei smiled. “Did your audition go smoothly? Are you auditioning for He Sha’s character?”

Ling Sheng nodded. “Yes, Second Uncle. Do you know Teacher He Sha?”

Yan Yuanfei thought of the past and his lips curled up slightly. He hummed in acknowledgment. “Yes.”

They were considered old acquaintances.

He had worked at the Sports General Administration at the time. After learning about her situation, he had helped her get into the national team successfully.

That year, she had won the National Games and World Championships. At the same time, she had also let the world know that China had a disabled yet strong-willed sports champion.

During the celebration later on, they had met. She was a simple, strong, and hardworking girl who never gave up.

Ling Sheng had not expected Teacher He Sha to have such a deep relationship with Second Uncle. She smiled and said, “I really want to travel back to the day of the Olympics when Teacher He Sha won the championship.”

The feeling was always lacking a bit when she watched through the television. Only by being present at the scene could she experience the glory of that time!

Yan Yuanfei smiled and asked, “Have you taken the audition yet?”

Ling Sheng said, “The results aren’t released yet. There are still a lot of people auditioning. I’m not the only one. They’ll inform us of the final outcome the day after tomorrow.”

Yan Yuanfei asked, “Why? Are you not confident?”

“Who said I’m not confident?” After saying that, Ling Sheng shot Jiang Pei a look. She passed the wheelchair to him and ran in front of Yan Yuanfei.

Yan Yuanfei smiled gently at her, not knowing what the little girl wanted to do.

Ling Sheng made a few standard hurdle jumps in front of him and turned her head to look at him narcissistically. “Second Uncle, how is it? Do I look exactly the same as Teacher He Sha?”

Yan Yuanfei let out a low laugh and played along. “Yes, it’s exactly the same.”

“Your praise isn’t sincere at all.” Ling Sheng jogged over and pushed the wheelchair. “Second Uncle, do you have something on today? I’ll cook a big feast tonight. Come to my house for dinner!”

“I have a place that I want to make a trip to.” Yan Yuanfei paused for a moment. “If you have nothing to do, can you accompany me?”

Of course Ling Sheng could. She would be alone at home in the afternoon. Her father had taken the 11:30 a.m. plane to film a commercial in Europe. She had initially planned that if the audition ended early, she would head home to cook and deliver a lunch made with love to her mother at L-Star in the afternoon. Since Second Uncle had spoken, she would follow him to take a look.

In the car, Yan Yuanfei sensed that the little girl was hesitant to speak. He smiled as he looked at her. “Just ask whatever you want!”

“I don’t have anything to ask. What can I possibly ask?” Ling Sheng wanted to ask what was going on between him and the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Chu. Did the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family like him or Third Master?

“Are you sure you don’t want to ask?” Yan Yuanfei could tell that something was definitely up since she was fidgeting in her seat and kept glancing at him from time to time.

“That’s… just…” Ling Sheng was too embarrassed to ask. In the end, she threw caution to the wind. “Second Uncle, what’s going on between you and the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Pei, who was driving at the front, shot her a look with all his might. He thought that since she had asked in a low voice, the Second Master should not have heard her.

This was a huge stone weighing down on Second Master’s heart. It was his major sore point. How could she ask about it so easily?

However, Yan Yuanfei did so happen to hear her clearly this time. He smiled and asked, “Do you want to know that badly?”
