In the surveillance cameras, the little fella walked out of the bedroom naked and wet. He carefully ran toward the bedroom like a thief. He even stole a look at the balcony and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had discovered what he had done.

Nangong Lengyu’s fists tightened bit by bit. Her heart was in turmoil, and her eyes were red. As she looked at the child on the bed, she was angry but her heart also ached for him. She really wanted to teach him a good lesson, but she couldn’t bear to either.

This was all her fault. The child must have heard their conversation and thought that he had used an illness as an excuse to deceive her. That was why he had thought of such a method to make himself fall sick for real and come down with a fever. Why was he so foolish?!

There was a complicated look in Huo Ci’s eyes. He really wanted to pick the punk up and beat him. Look at what a great thing he had done! How was he so capable? No one was as impressive as him. He was just a small kid, yet he thought about so many things. When he grew up, he would become even more incredible. Who knew how many major, earth-shattering things he would do!

“Huo Ci.” Nangong Lengyu looked at him. “Let’s pretend we don’t know anything about this!”

Huo Ci grunted and took a look at the rascal on the bed again. His anger rose slowly as he said, “If this happens again, I’ll kill him.”

“Let’s not cause Sheng Sheng and the others worry either.” Nangong Lengyu was afraid that he would call their daughter, so she reminded him again.

Huo Ci had a hot temper. Not only was he helping to take care of the child, but he also had to keep watch over such a little troublemaker who had made him feel worried and scared. In the end, he had been the one to make himself fall sick. Neither mother nor child would give him a peace of mind.

F*ck.

Did he owe them or what?!

Nangong Lengyu knew that Huo Ci definitely wouldn’t call Jun Shiyan. As for her daughter, she was already busy enough filming every day. She didn’t want to tell her about Xiaoqi since she wasn’t in the capital now. Otherwise, she would get worried after finding out but couldn’t rush back immediately anyway.

After Huo Ci tidied up the accompanying hospital bed, he looked at the woman who was watching over the rascal. “Sleep for a while. I’ll watch him.”

Nangong Lengyu shook her head. “You should sleep. I’m not tired.”

Huo Ci looked at the severe dark circles under the woman’s eyes. She’s still being stubborn. Not tired? Her complexion’s so bloody awful! He didn’t care if she agreed or not, but he went over straight away and pulled her up. His tone was firm without giving any leeway. “Go to bed. I’ll watch him.”

The doctor had already said that he was fine. He had only caught a cold and was feverish. What else did she want to do? Guard him until daybreak?!

Nangong Lengyu frowned slightly as she looked at the stern-faced man. She was about to retort.

“Doesn’t your company have a press conference tomorrow? Do you want to attend the press conference with such a weary face?” Huo Ci interrupted her right away.

Nangong Lengyu thought, How do you know my company’s press conference will be held tomorrow? However, he was right. She took another look at Xiaoqi and didn’t insist anymore. She hummed in agreement and said, “Then, I’ll sleep for a while. Wake me up after two hours. I’ll take over.”

In the past half a month, she had not had a good night’s sleep due to the company’s matters, especially in the past week. She had been traveling around the world, busy modifying design plans, checking the finished products of the clothes, and taking care of the fashion press conference at a later stage.

The VIP ward in the hospital was quite big, and the facilities were very complete too. There was even an accompanying ward. However, Huo Ci knew that she would definitely be worried about Xiaoqi and wouldn’t sleep in the room. Thus, he moved the bed out. Upon seeing the woman fall asleep not long after lying down on the bed, he tiptoed to get a blanket and covered her with it.

Nangong Lengyu slept until daybreak. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall man’s back view in front of a table not far away. Food boxes were placed on the table and he was taking out the breakfast one by one.

Huo Ci didn’t turn around, but he sensed that she had already woken up. He said, “Go wash up a little and have breakfast.”

Nangong Lengyu looked at the man in front of her and actually felt a little relieved for the first time. She didn’t know if it was because she had just woken up, but she could actually hear a hint of gentleness in his voice. Frustrated, she shook her head to clear her head.

She must have been so busy these past two days that she had lost her mind. She even thought that Huo Ci was great while looking at him. She had simply gone crazy!

Xiaoqi was still sleeping, but when he heard Grandpa’s voice, he opened his eyes sleepily. His voice was still hoarse. “Grandpa, where is this?”

“The hospital.” Upon hearing that he had woken up, Huo Ci wasn’t all that pleased either. He gritted his teeth and turned around. “You punk, you know very well what you’ve done. I won’t settle the score with you this time. If you dare to do this again next time…”

“Huo Ci!” Nangong Lengyu glared at him and interrupted his speech.

Huo Ci stopped talking obediently and glared at the rascal again. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and get up to eat. Do you still want me to serve you?”

Nangong Lengyu hurriedly got out of bed and went to Xiaoqi. She picked the child up. “Don’t listen to your grandpa.”

Xiaoqi felt very guilty. Since he was already in the hospital, they naturally knew how he had gotten a fever. He didn’t dare to look at Huo Ci. He hugged Nangong Lengyu’s neck and said in a small, hoarse voice, “Grandma, I want to brush my teeth and wash my face.”

When Nangong Lengyu carried Xiaoqi to the washroom, she gave Huo Ci another warning look. He wasn’t allowed to intimidate the baby or scold him. How old was he? How could he still get angry with a child? The baby had done that only because he was afraid that the two of them would be angry. She barely had time to feel distress for him. How could she bear to scold him?

When Xiaoqi reached the washroom and was brushing his teeth, he said incoherently, “Grandma, I’m sorry.”

Nangong Lengyu wasn’t angry with him. She was angry at herself. When she had quarreled with Huo Ci, she should have moved further away. How could she have been careless and let him overhear them? However, the baby was indeed in the wrong to use cold water to rinse his body and catch a cold from having cold winds blow on him. With a stern face, she asked, “Do you know your mistake now?”

Upon seeing that his grandma was angry, Xiaoqi felt terrible. He hung his head and nodded. “Xiaoqi knows his mistake.”

Nangong Lengyu hadn’t expected the baby to admit his mistake. Since he had admitted his error, it was best to talk things out. “What did you do wrong?”

“Xiaoqi shouldn’t have showered in cold water or let the wind blow on me. I made you two worry.” Xiaoqi’s head hung even lower. He didn’t even dare to look at his grandma as he bit on his toothbrush and admitted his mistake.

“It’s good that you know you were wrong.” Nangong Lengyu let out a low sigh and looked at the baby seriously. “You’re not allowed to do this again next time. If your mommy finds out, how will Grandma explain this to her?”

“Grandma, don’t tell Mommy.” Xiaoqi lifted his head suddenly and looked at her nervously.

If Mommy found out, she would be worried.

“Then, will you dare to do it again next time?” Nangong Lengyu took out the toothbrush for the child so that he could gargle..
