Chapter 875: The Alcohol Is a little Strong

Nangong Lengyu frowned, her eyes full of doubt. Husband? She had not even gotten married, so how could she have a husband?

However, Xiaoqi reacted the fastest. He jumped up immediately, his big eyes sparkling with excitement. “Grandma, my grandpa is here!”

Only then did Nangong Lengyu realize. Her beautiful face instantly turned as cold as ice. Was it Huo Ci? What was he doing here? Was he here to snatch Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi from her?

Xiaoqi had already run out. He was very excited. Before he was out of the door, he started shouting. “Grandpa! Grandpa, Xiaoqi is here!”

Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan saw their son acting as excited as a silly dog, running out shouting. He did not even put on his outer coat. Nangong Lengyu caught up with him and put a down jacket on him.

Huo Ci walked through the crowd and wanted to carry Xiaoqi, but he realized that Nangong Lengyu had already picked him up. He smiled and reached out his hand. “Did you miss Grandpa?”

Best Actor Huo’s loving and gentle look made everyone present smile knowingly. He was the same in real life as on television. He was just so approachable and gentle.

Ling Sheng’s heart was sweating profusely. They had only parted this morning; it had not even been a day. What was there to miss about? They would already be returning tomorrow. Look at how rounded his acting was.

However, everyone present was also touched. After all, although the Best Actor had acted different characters on the screen, he had never acted as a grandfather.

“Yes, I did.” Xiaoqi was a little bootlicker. Even if he hadn’t asked, Xiaoqi would have missed him. And now Grandpa had even asked him.

Nangong Lengyu could not help but laugh coldly in her heart. He truly deserved the title of the Movie King. His acting was really good. If she had not been sure of his goal just now, she was 100% sure now that he was definitely here to snatch Xiaoqi and Sheng Sheng from her.

Huo Ci went to carry Xiaoqi, but he could not. He smiled at Nangong Lengyu. “Ms. Nangong, this is my grandson.”

Nangong Lengyu hugged Xiaoqi, not wanting to give him up. However, she was also afraid of hurting the baby. If she did not let go, she was afraid that Huo Ci would snatch forcefully without caring about his strength. She could only suppress her anger and let go first. “I have to remind Mr. Huo that Xiaoqi is my grandson too.”

Huo Ci’s smile became more elegant, and his voice became gentler. “What a coincidence then.”

Ling Sheng could clearly feel the sparks in the air between the two of them. The air here was hotter than other places by a few degrees. She let out a low cough and looked at Jun Shiyan.

She couldn’t do it!

She was terrified. There was nothing she could do against the two big shots!

If she went over now, she would definitely be cannon fodder.

Jun Shiyan clasped onto her hand gently and shook his head. The two people opposite them were his father-in-law and older sister. How could he try to control them?

The atmosphere between Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu was a little awkward and solemn. Even the surrounding crowd could feel it.

However, the villagers did not know what was going on anyway. They felt that since one was the biological father and the other was the biological mother, weren’t they husband and wife? Perhaps there had been a small conflict between the husband and wife.

While they were eating, an older brother sitting at the same table tugged at Huo Ci and whispered an advice, “Did you quarrel with Sheng Sheng’s mother? As men, we have to give in to women, and not stoop to their level. What can we do about our own women?”

Upon saying this, he even felt a little emotional. He thought that the Best Actor was also an ordinary person. Like them, he had all kinds of worries. There was nothing special about him, so the distance between them shortened instantly.

Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Ci took a look at the woman opposite him and let out a cold snort in his heart. His woman? When had she become his woman? He held back his anger and said gently, “There’s no such thing. Don’t make wild guesses. I have nothing to do with her.”

“You’re younger than me, so I’ll call you my younger brother,” the older brother tried to persuade him. His daughter was already so old, and he even had a grandchild. How could he have nothing to do with her? He was simply angry after a quarrel. “Brother Huo, don’t blame me for being nosy. There’s no overnight feud between a husband and wife. Both fights and reconciliations take place in bed.”

Huo Ci frowned. “We’re not husband and wife.”

The older brother did not believe him either. He had heard from his daughter that many celebrities in the entertainment circle were secretly married. No one knew that they had secretly gotten married. Brother Huo and his wife must be like that.

Ling Sheng, who was sitting beside Huo Ci, was pulled over to his side by him. She took a look at her son, who was very far away from her, and then stole a look at her father.

She knew very well that he had done it on purpose. Xiaoqi was with Auntie Yu, so he wanted her to be with him.

The key was that she was timid and did not dare to run. If she could escape and would not be scolded, she would definitely run off like lightning and find Auntie Yu. Who would be willing to sit with him?!

Jun Shiyan was also sitting beside Nangong Lengyu. Upon seeing that the young lady could not even eat her food well, he felt helpless. However, he could not oppose his father-in-law; he could only listen to him!

They could have sat together, but Sister Yu had chosen this spot on purpose because she did not want to be with Huo Ci.

Ling Sheng had also heard about the uncle from her hometown. He was also a very familiar uncle to them. He had treated them well in the past and was talking to her father.

However, he left while chatting. After a short while, he returned with another bottle of wine. He secretly told Huo Ci, “This is a good wine that I’ve kept for many years. Drink a couple cups with me. I guarantee that you’ll be relieved of your worries after drinking it.”

Ling Sheng also saw that the uncle was behaving a little ambiguously and even had a tiny obscene smile on his face. A strange feeling arose in her heart. What good wine was this? He kept insisting that it was something good too.

Huo Ci did not think too much about it. He had a good alcohol tolerance, and he would not get drunk even if he drank a thousand glasses. There was no issue with having a couple cups of it. Besides, the person was so enthusiastic that he had specially taken out a vintage wine he had kept for many years. Naturally, he could not reject his kind intentions.

The wine was very sweet and distinct, but it was not high in the alcohol content either. It was really a rare good wine. However, there was a hint of medicinal herbs. It must have been brewed inside to strengthen one’s body.

The older brother patted his shoulder. “This is really good stuff. I usually can’t bear to drink it. If you weren’t Sheng Sheng’s father, I wouldn’t have taken it out to let you drink.”

Huo Ci smiled and thanked him, “Thank you, Brother.”

“No need to thank me. We’re all one family.” The older brother smiled happily, flashing his white teeth, and waved at him to eat the dishes. “You can thank me tomorrow.”

Ling Sheng had a feeling that the wine was not right. However, her father had drunk a lot. From his expression, she could tell that it was really good alcohol. He was quite satisfied.

When the meal was over and the people who wanted autographs and photos had left one after another, a middle-aged woman stopped Ling Sheng. She was the wife of the big brother who had given Huo Ci the alcohol.

“Sheng Sheng,” the woman whispered in her ear. “That wine your Uncle Xie gave your father is a little strong. Remember to remind your mother!”

Ling Sheng did not understand. “Aunt Juan, what do you mean? What’s up with the wine?”

Aunt Juan was too embarrassed to explain it to a young girl. She even felt a little bashful. After struggling for a while, she put on a brave face. “That wine… it’s deer whip wine[1]. He’s been brewing it for two years so it’s a little strong.”
