Chapter 369: Grandpa, My Father Is…

Huo Ci carried Xiaoqi and changed him into his crocodile pajamas. Upon seeing his mother get up to take a look, he said, “Mother, since you’re so worried, I’ll bring him over. Don’t walk.”
Su Xiyin shot him an angry look. “Why should I be worried? Could you harm him? I’m not watching anymore. Go to sleep!”
Huo Xiao nodded in satisfaction as he watched him carry Xiaoqi inside. That scumbag was finally acting like a human.
When Ling Sheng returned, the old couple was not asleep yet. After they greeted her, she went to see Xiaoqi. Her grandparents had said that Xiaoqi was sleeping in her father’s room!
The door was not locked, so she opened it and tiptoed in. Since she had finally returned home, she naturally had to sleep with her baby son. Besides, she had promised her son to play with him. In the end, she had ditched him for a day and felt guilty as a result.
“You brat, what are you doing?” Huo Ci suddenly spoke up and switched on the lights. “Get out. How can you enter my bedroom?”
Ling Sheng smiled without losing her temper. “Father, I heard from Grandma that you took Xiaoqi to the amusement park to play. Xiaoqi didn’t bother you, did he?”
“Scram!” Huo Ci was annoyed. “I want to sleep.”
“Shh!” Ling Sheng’s voice was small as she smiled. “I’m here to carry Xiaoqi to bed. You’ve had a tiring day. Get some proper rest. Xiaoqi won’t disturb you anymore.”
Huo Ci hugged Xiaoqi nervously. “The brat wants to sleep with me. Leave, I’ll watch him sleep.”
Ling Sheng frowned, feeling very alert. Something was not right. Something was really not right. Every time Xiaoqi had asked to sleep with him, he would show his disdain for him immensely. Why would he take the initiative to bring Xiaoqi to his bed?
The smell of alcohol in the air was not strong, but she could smell it.
“Father, you’ve been drinking, haven’t you? Xiaoqi, come with me!” Ling Sheng smiled obsequiously as she walked over to her son and shouted, “Xiaoqi, Mommy’s back! Come sleep with Mommy, alright?”
Xiaoqi heard his mother’s voice in his sleep. He had not seen her in a week, so he got up immediately and looked at her sleepily. “Mommy.”
Ling Sheng spread her arms. “Come to Mommy.”
Xiaoqi chuckled foolishly. Just as he was about to crawl over, his feet were grabbed by someone.
Huo Ci was flustered, but he did not dare speak loudly. It would not be good if he attracted his parents’ attention. He just glared at the boy. “I told you to sleep with me. Are you leaving?”
Ling Sheng pouted in grievance. “Father, why are you being so fierce?”
Had he eaten explosives?
He was in a terrible mood.
Xiaoqi had already crawled over and hooked his head around Ling Sheng’s neck, rubbing it affectionately. In a soft, hoarse voice, he asked, “Mommy, did you miss Xiaoqi?”
Ling Sheng could smell the alcohol. Xiaoqi’s reaction was also abnormal. His big eyes were blurry as she leaned in to take a sniff. His mouth was full of the smell of alcohol, making her anger increase. “Father, what did you do?”
That was too much!
He had actually given Xiaoqi alcohol!
Huo Ci had not expected her nose to be so sharp. Upon seeing the brat explode, he glared at her angrily, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, “Look at your good son. What kind of father would give his child alcohol? He drank it behind my back.”
Upon seeing that he was being stubborn, Ling Sheng was infuriated. He was an adult, yet he had not taken good care of the child and was even shirking responsibility. She shouted, “Grandpa, come and see this! My father…”
Huo Ci dashed over and covered her mouth. Then, he gritted his teeth and threatened her ferociously. “You brat, I dare you to scream. I’ll kill you.”
