Chapter 433: Your Family, Our Family…

Some kind-hearted residents had gone to the guard to report that there was a suspicious person squatting in the garden who might be a thief.
The security guard caught him dutifully.
Huo Ci removed his mask and shushed the guard. “The paparazzi are chasing me.”
In the end, the security guard looked at the autograph on Huo Ci’s clothes and left in satisfaction. He even pointed out a more secluded place where he could hide from the paparazzi, ensuring that he would not be discovered.
Su Xiyin brought Xiaoqi home from the square, holding his small hand in hers. Xiaoqi’s eyes were sharp, so he pointed excitedly at the person walking over and shouted, “Grandpa!”
Su Xiyin took a look and saw that it was indeed her son. He was wearing a mask and sunglasses and he looked like he was taking a walk. However, who would go to the district next door to take a walk?
Besides, he had never had a habit of taking a walk. He always worked out at home.
“Grandpa, are you here to visit us?” Xiaoqi ran over excitedly on his short legs and looked up at him.
Huo Ci’s heart ached when he heard this name. He coughed. “I’m taking a walk. Do you live here now?”
Xiaoqi nodded vigorously. “Yes, Grandpa. Do you want to come to our house to play? It’s right ahead.”
Huo Ci paused for a moment before putting on a haughty front. He did not accept or decline.
Xiaoqi took that as a yes and led the way happily. “Grandpa, our house is not as big as yours, but it’s also very nice.”
Huo Ci felt even more upset. That brat had only moved out a few days ago, yet he wanted to draw a line between him and his family?
Xiaoqi did not know what the awkward adults were thinking. He only knew that Grandpa had come to their house to have fun and he was very happy.
Su Xiyin looked at him and sighed helplessly. When would this bad temper of his change? He was living alone, so she knew he was uncomfortable and had come to join in the fun.
However, he would not admit it. He had been like this since he was young. He was stubborn.
When they reached the elevator, Xiaoqi looked up at Huo Ci and asked seriously, “Grandpa, why are there leaves and spider webs in your hair? Were you playing hide-and-seek?”
Thankfully, Huo Ci was wearing a mask and sunglasses. He let out an awkward low cough. “Yes.”
Su Xiyin wondered what was running through his head. Where had he been hiding to wait for her and Xiaoqi? She reached out to clean the leaves and spider webs on his hair.
Sigh!
No matter how old her son was, he was still a child. Even though she was angry, what could she do? In the end, she could not bear to see him suffer.
“Mother, is Father home?” Huo Ci asked.
“No.” Su Xiyin let out a low sigh inwardly. She had not known that he would dare come over. This time of the year, his father would head out to pray to the ancestors.
“Where’s Ling Sheng?” Huo Ci asked casually.
“She went to a gathering with her friends. She sent a message half an hour ago to say that she’s on the way home.” Su Xiyin smiled. “Is there something you want to talk to Sheng Sheng about?”
Huo Ci replied, “No.”
When Ling Sheng got home, she saw the duo sitting on the sofa. For a moment, she thought she was seeing things or had returned to the wrong place.
Then, she looked at the living room. It was her new house. That was right. But why was her biological father there? Was he lonely?
“Sheng Sheng, you’re back.” Su Xiyin, who had made a fruit platter, walked out of the kitchen. She pointed at Huo Ci, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and shot her a look.
