Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle
chapter-897

Jun Shiyan smiled and nodded. He looked at the excited young lady lovingly and said, “Let’s go out for a joyride later.”

Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly and threw the cards in the middle. She spread them out and said humbly, “I’ll let the two of you draw first.”

Xiaoqi drew a three. His small face scrunched up as he sniffled and sighed deeply. He was definitely going to lose again.

Jun Shiyan drew a 10 and smiled gently at the young lady opposite him.

Ling Sheng spread out her cards confidently. Then, her eyes widened and she rubbed them repeatedly. She could not believe that she had failed. It was a 1!

Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up as he jumped up excitedly. “Mommy has finally lost! Daddy, you can do it! Take revenge! Revenge!”

Ling Sheng glared at her son. Look at how happy he was! Was he that happy that she was going to be beaten? She smiled toward the handsome man opposite her, but her smile froze.

Jun Shiyan clenched his fists. He practiced a few times, but each time, he used all his strength ferociously. He had practiced on the cards, and they made loud popping sounds. The force was so strong that it seemed like the cards would break.

Ling Sheng shivered and touched her forehead involuntarily. Oh my, why was he so ruthless? If this landed on her forehead firmly, her bones would crack straight away! She looked at the man fearfully and pleaded. “Third Master!”

“Sit properly.” Jun Shiyan’s handsome face was very serious as he looked at the young lady and got into his stance. In his heart, he was holding back his laughter when he saw her pitiful begging for mercy.

“I didn’t use any force. I didn’t use any force just now! You can’t do this to me,” Ling Sheng pouted. She was all listless. Was he really going to smack her hard? It looked really painful!

Was he really willing to do this?

However, his eyes told her that he was serious!

“Don’t move,” Jun Shiyan’s voice was low.

Ling Sheng threw caution to the wind. Anyway, it was just this one time. She would have to receive it whether she craned her neck out or shrank back. She did not believe that he would truly be that heartless. She closed her eyes and offered her forehead, but her small body shrank back in fear.

Upon seeing the young lady’s scared look, Jun Shiyan only felt that she was unusually adorable, especially when her body kept pulling back. It was so moe[1]! He shot Xiaoqi a look.

Xiaoqi covered his eyes tactfully, but he secretly exposed a gap between his fingers.

“I’m ready. Three, two…” Jun Shiyan deliberately tried to scare her as he approached her slowly. The smile on his lips widened, and when he counted to one, he suddenly got near her.

Ling Sheng did not feel the pain she had been expecting. Instead, she felt a gentle, cool, and soft kiss on her forehead.

Su Xiyin pushed the door open to enter, only to see the scene in front of her. Thankfully, she reacted quickly. She instinctively pushed away Huo Ci behind her and let out a low cough!

Ling Sheng’s eyes widened suddenly, and her small face flushed red completely. When she turned around, she saw her grandma glaring at her reproachfully. She cleared her throat and pretended that nothing happened. “Grandma, why are you here?”

Jun Shiyan had long retreated. He nodded composedly at her and called out gently, “Grandma.”

Su Xiyin frowned and glared at him again. Xiaoqi was still in the room. Look at the two of them. What were they doing? If Xiaoqi saw them, it would be a bad influence!

Xiaoqi, who had been covering his eyes, only opened them when he heard his great-grandmother’s voice. He shouted crisply, “Great-grandmother!”

Huo Ci was baffled. Why had his mother pushed him just now? Had the two of them done something shameful behind his back again? He sized the duo up carefully before his gaze landed on Ling Sheng. “Why is your face so red?”

They definitely had not done anything proper!

Ling Sheng patted her face and said very calmly, “Is it red? The temperature in the room is too high. I might be feeling warm!”

Wuwuwu, she had done something bad and gotten caught red-handed!

Thankfully, Grandma had entered first. If her father had seen her, he would have skinned her alive! Just the thought of it made her panic!

“Okay, so the two of you gathered to gamble?” Upon seeing that they were even playing cards, Huo Ci asked, “How old is Xiaoqi? Are the two of you leading the child astray?”

Ling Sheng chortled and explained, “Father, we were just drawing the largest versus smallest numbers. How can it be considered a gamble? We didn’t gamble with money either.”

It would be strange if Huo Ci believed her nonsense. His probing eyes were like lasers as he scanned her a few more times. In the end, he sneered and threatened Jun Shiyan, “Behave yourself! This place is my Huo mansion!”

“I’ll keep your words in mind, Father-in-law.” Jun Shiyan would agree to anything he said. His principle was that he had to go along with him unconditionally.

Upon seeing his cowardly look, Huo Ci was also certain that he would not dare do anything outrageous in the Huo mansion. He looked at Ling Sheng and the others. “Pack up quickly. We’re heading to the Su residence immediately.”

Ling Sheng said, “Father, why are we going to the Su Family so late in the day? Aren’t you going tomorrow?”

“Just pack up when I told you to pack up. Why are you spouting so much nonsense?” Huo Ci frowned and gave her an unhappy look. “Hurry up.”

Su Xiyin glared at him. Why was he being so fierce? “The old folks came down with a bit of a cold so I’m worried. I want to go over and take a look tonight, so we came over to ask for both of your opinions. You can either come with me or go alone by yourselves tomorrow morning.”

Huo Ci swept a dangerous look over them.

Ling Sheng forced a smile. “Father, we’ll be done soon. Right away!”

Huo Ci and Su Xiyin left. Ling Sheng had nothing much to pack either, so she just took two sets of pajamas and informed Huo Xuanzhou.

When she got downstairs, the car had already stopped at the entrance. There was no chauffeur at home but there were many people. One car was not enough. She needed two.

Huo Ci was about to open the car door and become the chauffeur.

Ling Sheng stopped him hurriedly with a sweet smile. “Father, with your esteemed status, how can you drive the car?”

Huo Ci looked at Jun Shiyan, who was behind her. Huh, the scumbag Third Old Jun had become sensible. He even knew to be the chauffeur and drive for him.

Ling Sheng jogged over to pull Huo Xuanzhou over and smiled proudly. “Look, I’ve already found you a chauffeur.”

Huo Ci glared at her and looked at Huo Xuanzhou in disdain. “Our family is returning to the Su Family. What does it have to do with you?”

“Sixth Uncle, that’s where you’re wrong. Am I not family?” Huo Xuanzhou had already opened the door and sat in solicitously. He flattered him, “Sixth Uncle, with your noble status, how can you be a chauffeur? I’m the most suitable for being the chauffeur.”

At least the brat had kept her word. She was really taking him to the Su Family. She didn’t trick him!

Ling Sheng watched Huo Xuanzhou get in the car, and her father did not object either. Upon seeing that he was about to get in, she tugged at him carefully and lowered her voice. “Father, what happened to the old folks?”

Grandma’s expression was very solemn. It was a solemn and tense expression she had never seen before. She kept feeling that things might not be as simple as they had said.

Huo Ci had not expected her to think so much. He became serious for a moment, and his tone became solemn for once. “As the elderly get older, flus and colds are not minor illnesses anymore. How can they be like young people who get better easily.”
