Ling Sheng cleaned up the table and walked to her father’s room. She knocked on the door, knowing that he was not asleep. She could definitely hear him. “Father, Sister Mei told me to tell you to control yourself and not post on Weibo casually.

“Your Weibo account’s value is too high. It can create 10 trending topics. If one trending topic is worth 500,000, that’s a total of five million. It should be used for more valuable things.”

She was not lying. Her father never posted on Weibo easily. He would only post on important days and during publicity periods. Every time he did so, he would definitely be among the hottest searches.

Other people would have to buy headlines, but he had it easy. He only needed one Weibo post. Normally, when he changed his style or ate a meal, he would be photographed and make the headlines. No one in the country could compare to him.

Huo Ci leaned against the bed frame and swiped at his phone. His lips curled up subconsciously. That brat was getting better at talking.

The next day was Saturday.

Ling Sheng was home, so someone was taking care of Xiaoqi. Huo Xiao and his wife had returned to the Huo Family’s old residence the previous day.

“Grandpa, Mommy bought a lot of things. Can you come down and help us move them?” Xiaoqi asked with a pleasing smile as he stuck his head into the house.

Huo Ci, who was reading a script, replied unhappily, “No.”

“Okay!” Xiaoqi rubbed his head in disappointment and smiled even more obsequiously. “You can keep working. Grandpa, what do you want to eat for lunch? We’ll go to the market to buy fresh food.”

“It’s up to you.” Upon seeing the little fella leave obediently, Huo Ci could not take it anymore. After all, his mood had been ruined. He threw the script away in annoyance and cursed before leaving.

She was buying things?

How much stuff could she have bought?

She even had to get someone to help her move them?

There were big boxes at the entrance of the elevator. He did not know what they contained, but when he walked over to take a look, he saw clearly that they contained soil. They were rather heavy when he kicked them.

The elevator opened.

Xiaoqi pressed the elevator door, and Ling Sheng moved a cardboard box out. Her face was red from exhaustion, and her temples were sweaty. She smiled at him and asked, “Father, why are you out?”

Huo Ci frowned. “What are you doing?”

Ling Sheng smiled. “This is flower soil and flower pots. I saw a lot of empty space on the balcony. Let’s plant something.”

The balcony was about 100 square meters. According to her grandma, her father had initially wanted to build a small aeroponic garden, but he had been too lazy to hire someone to take care of it. Since he could not grow flowers and grass by himself, he had let it go.

“You want to plant something in my house. Have you gotten my consent?” Huo Ci bellowed.

“Great-grandpa and great-grandmother agreed.” Xiaoqi shivered in fright as he explained in a low voice. He looked at Ling Sheng uneasily. Grandpa was angry.

Huo Ci cursed under his breath as he gritted his teeth and pointed at them angrily. “The two of you are only here to cause me trouble.”

“Thank you, Father.” Ling Sheng smiled.

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Xiaoqi smiled.

Upon seeing the same flattering smile on the mother and son’s faces, Huo Ci cursed silently, feeling disgusted. “What are you waiting for? Get in!”

Only

Huo Ci had not expected her to say that she wanted to plant vegetables. He thus objected firmly. “If you want to plant vegetables, go back to your village. My balcony is not meant to be used as a vegetable field!”

“Father, eating your own vegetables gives you a sense of accomplishment. When the vegetables ripen, you can pick whatever you want to eat. The food will be fresh and it will be convenient, so you can rest assured.” Ling Sheng tried to reason with him. “If you can’t finish the vegetables in the fridge in a day, they’ll wither the next day. The taste will be ruined. Let’s plant vegetables ourselves. We won’t have to worry about that then.”

Xiaoqi squatted on the ground and introduced the vegetable seeds. “These are bok choy. This is a white radish. This is a carrot. There’s also a tomato, a cucumber, an eggplant, scallions, chives, and even strawberries, which Grandpa likes. Snow White!”

Huo Ci’s handsome face darkened.

Ling Sheng was a very punctual person. She reached the audition venue of “Secret” half an hour earlier. After greeting the crew members, she prepared to wait in the waiting room.

However, as soon as she reached the door, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her to the room beside her. When she looked up, she met Gu Shen’s mocking and impatient eyes.
