Chapter 986: Devote Myself to You

Su Xiyin let out a low sigh and shook her head with a smile before following him out.

Who knew that Huo Ci would come back alone? He looked around for a long time but he did not see the little girl come in. Normally, before she even entered the house, she would call ‘Grandpa’, ‘Grandma’, complain that she was hungry, and skip in from behind Huo Ci.

Huo Xiao looked around for a long time, but he did not see the little girl he had been thinking of all this time. Upon seeing Huo Ci walk up to the second floor in low spirits, he frowned and pointed at him. “Why are you alone? Where’s Sheng Sheng?”

Huo Ci had just gone up the stairs. Without even turning around, he sneered carelessly. “Gone. She left with her husband. I’m just a f*cking nobody!”

“Come over here and talk nicely!” Huo Xiao did not know what he was talking about in a weird tone. He glared at him. “Explain it clearly! Who did Sheng Sheng leave with?”

“It has nothing to do with you guys who she left with, right?!” Huo Ci was so angry that he laughed. “Dad, Mom, I don’t want to say this, but you think too highly of yourselves. Isn’t she just a damn brat who’s been staying here for two days? She can go wherever she wants. It’s better if she dies outside! I’ll set off firecrackers at the entrance to celebrate!”

“What do you mean by that? You’re spouting nonsense again!” Huo Xiao’s expression was livid as he picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and threw it at him. “Get down here! I’ll beat you to death, you foul-mouthed scumbag!”

When Huo Ci dodged, he heard the shattering sound of the teapot. He shook his head with a face of pity. “Dad, have you lost your mind? You threw your favorite teapot over that heartless damn brat. Is it worth it?”

Upon seeing Huo Ci’s annoying face and that her husband was truly furious, Su Xiyin pointed at him. “Get down! Hurry up and get down!”

He wasn’t explaining clearly either. What had happened to Sheng Sheng? Who had she left with that had made him so angry? Didn’t they get people to investigate Sheng Sheng’s identity and background but weren’t able to find anything?

Huo Ci was not afraid of being beaten up. He just felt mad. After saying that, he even added fuel to the fire. “Dad, do you know that scumbag who likes young girls?”

After listening to his story, Huo Xiao was both irritated and furious. How had Sheng Sheng become Jun Shiyan’s wife? She was so young! Upon hearing his son’s words, he got up and left. “No, I have to go take a look!”

“Why would you go? She admitted it herself that she’s Jun Shiyan’s wife. What can you do if you go? Will you snatch her from that scumbag Third Old Jun?” Huo Ci’s lips curled up offhandedly as he smiled. He crossed his legs and shook them before continuing to provoke him. “Dad, what kind of relationship do we have with her? Did you really think she treats you as her grandpa just because she called you grandpa for two days?”

Su Xiyin sighed and glared at him before tugging at Huo Xiao. “Hubby, I’ve met that person Third Master Jun twice before. He’s quite nice. He wouldn’t prey on a child.”

“Mom, this is what you don’t understand. Don’t you know what a hypocrite is? Do you know how those catamites in ancient times came about[1]? It was all to satisfy the special interests of certain animals! How old is that damn brat? She keeps talking about them being husband and wife. If Third Master Jun isn’t a pervert, who is?!” Huo Ci sneered.

Su Xiyin was worried sick. How could she just leave with Third Master Jun? How could such a young child become someone else’s wife too? “This is a society ruled by the law. I want to see if Third Master Jun dares to break it!”

“Once the door closes, why do you care what others do?” Huo Ci laughed instead. “Mom, don’t you know how arrogant Third Master Jun is in the capital? Can the law control him?”

“Do you mean that he has absolutely no respect for the law?” Su Xiyin tugged at Huo Xiao, her eyes full of tears. “Hubby, let’s go take a look after all. That child Sheng Sheng is still so young.”

“How are you guys getting there? What kind of identity are you using to visit?” Huo Ci continued to nitpick. “Dad, Mom, I advise you guys to give up on this idea. Don’t think about it anymore. She’s not a member of our family anyway.”

“How can she not be a member of our family?” Su Xiyin’s heart was in her throat. Upon hearing his words, she felt even more upset. Her son was right. They didn’t have much of a relationship with her. How could they get involved? She paused for a moment. “Even if she’s a stranger, Third Master Jun calling a little girl his wife is still a crime on his part!”

Huo Ci’s lips curled up in a smile. “Then, both of you should go over now. Dad, you have to punish that b*stard Third Master Jun properly! Otherwise, he might really think that the capital belongs to him alone. You have to teach him a lesson.”

Huo Xiao pointed at him. “Aren’t you quite capable? Aren’t you afraid of no one? You can’t even take care of a child! You even let someone take her away. You useless thing!”

Huo Ci agreed honestly. “Yes, Dad, you’re right. How can a son like me be as great as you, my father?”

Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin decided to go take a look and find out exactly what was going on. Was Third Master Jun still human? How shameless was he to have found such a young girl as his wife?

Huo Ci didn’t care. Upon seeing that they were about to leave, he even came up with an excuse for them. “You guys have to find a reason to visit them, right? Bring two sets of clothes over and say that you brought her clothes.”

Su Xiyin rolled her eyes at him. He had so many evil ideas, but why couldn’t he keep hold of her? How could he believe whatever was said too? Could he be at ease handing Sheng Sheng over to a stranger?

Upon seeing them leave, Huo Ci’s eyes darkened gradually. Even if his parents went, Jun Shiyan would not let her go.

He felt that he must have gone crazy. Otherwise, that damn brat must have drugged him! Why was he so worried that she would be bullied and deceived?!

…

Ling Sheng had not expected him to live in the Gu residence now. Even the house looked exactly the same as the one she had seen in the Gu residence previously. She was stunned. “Third Master, why are you staying here?”

“I’m waiting for you here.” Jun Shiyan smiled as he looked at her. “Isn’t this your favorite place? You even insisted that I build a house you designed.”

They had visited every place in this world. This was the last place she had chosen to settle down. She had asked Song Yiyan to calculate fengshui. It was the place in the whole of China with the best Feng Shui[2]. It was a place where the wind gathered and the dragon lived[3].

“This is the house I designed?” Ling Sheng took a look and pointed at herself. “I even have such a talent!”

Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh and tightened the coat around her. Then, he wrapped her in his own coat as well and nodded. “Don’t doubt yourself. You know a lot of stuff.”

“For example?” Ling Sheng tilted her head and looked at him seriously.

“For example, your greatest talent is…” Jun Shiyan paused before pulling her hand toward his heart. In a sexy and seductive voice, he said, “Getting it to beat for you alone. ”

Ling Sheng’s heart suddenly raced as she looked at the man and muttered, “What kind of ‘greatest talent’ is this?”

“Of course it’s your skill.” Jun Shiyan suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear. “If you hadn’t climbed up the wall of my house back then so that I saw you immediately with one glance, perhaps, I would have lived my whole life without any aim, according to the plot’s arrangement, until I died and disappeared.”

Ling Sheng only felt that her eyes were a little warm, and her chest swelled. She smiled and reached out to poke his chest. “Then, doesn’t that mean I’m your savior?”

Jun Shiyan nodded and let out a low laugh. He grabbed the young lady’s small hand. Unable to soothe his yearning for her, he could only hug her and sigh deeply. “I can’t repay you for saving my life. I don’t have anything on me either, so I can only devote myself to you.”

When the butler, Uncle Ming, came over, he saw the couple hugging each other. He smiled gladly. The Third Master had finally waited till Ms. Sheng Sheng’s arrival. However, he had come for serious business. “Third Master, Ms. Sheng Sheng, Mr. and Mrs. Huo have come to visit.”
