Chapter 782: Did You See Her Eat?

When they had first come, her father had not even known how to carry a child. Now, he was already extremely adept with his actions. She hurriedly chased after him and took out Xiaoqi’s toothbrush and toothpaste. “Father, use this lemon-flavored toothpaste today.”
When Huo Ci brushed Xiaoqi’s teeth, he took a sniff of the child’s toothpaste. It was quite fragrant, and even he wanted to eat it. He patted Xiaoqi’s small head. “Spit it out. Don’t swallow it.”
Xiaoqi could not speak clearly. “Grandpa, I’m not stupid.”
Huo Ci let out a low laugh. “Your mother is that stupid. How are you not stupid when you take after her? Look at yourself in the mirror. You look silly.”
Xiaoqi looked at the mirror. “Xiaoqi is very smart.”
Huo Ci could not be bothered to waste his breath on him. He wiped the toothpaste bubbles off his face cleanly and realized that this brat’s skin was really tender. The more he looked at him, the more arrogant he became.
From his looks, he would definitely become a scourge who charmed tens of thousands of girls in the future.
In the past, Huo Ci had not helped the brat wash up before. This was the first time he had discovered that a child’s products, from toothpaste to facial cream, all had a sweet, fruit-like fragrance. It was the kind of smell that one wanted to eat.
“Grandpa, when you get sick in the future, Xiaoqi will also wash your face and brush your teeth,” Xiaoqi said seriously while cream was being roughly wiped on his face.
Huo Ci said, “Kid, are you cursing me? Do you want me to get sick?”
Xiaoqi smiled until his eyes curved and he said crisply, “Grandpa is healthy and will live a long life.”
Ling Sheng carried the porridge out. Xiaoqi and her father did not like eating white porridge so she had cooked spinach and lean meat porridge that was fragrant. It was paired with cold radish salad and she had even bought mantou and buns.
When Huo Ci carried Xiaoqi over, he looked at her. “See if she has eaten breakfast.”
Ling Sheng understood immediately, but she pretended not to. She frowned in confusion. “Who is it?”
“Stop playing dumb. Who do you think it is?” Huo Ci knew that she had done it on purpose. This stinky brat was deliberately embarrassing him.
Ling Sheng’s performance was very realistic. She nodded in sudden enlightenment. “Father, so you’re talking about Auntie Yu. I’ll go over immediately to take a look.”
Given her father’s awkward personality, there was no help for him. If he cared, so be it. He could have just said it directly. Why would he beat around the bush?
Upon seeing her sly look, Huo Ci really wanted to go up and kick her. When he saw her scoop porridge and put it in a thermos box—which was newly bought, he knew that she must have thought of it long ago.
When Ling Sheng went over, she happened to bump into Xu Xi bringing breakfast over. She greeted him before entering.
Nangong Lengyu had already woken up and was currently leaning against the bedhead. She looked quite energetic, but her face was pale. Upon seeing her enter, she hurriedly asked, “Sheng Sheng, how’s Xiaoqi?”
Ling Sheng smiled helplessly. “Auntie Yu, you should worry about yourself first. He’s a very sturdy boy. He recovered a long time ago. How do you feel now?”
Nangong Lengyu was relieved. Her voice was still very weak and hoarse. “What could be wrong with me? The anesthesia has just worn off so my body hurts a little.”
Ling Sheng’s heart ached a little. This was the first time she had seen her look so pale and fragile. It was much worse than the last time she fainted from stomach cramps. She scooped a bowl of porridge for her and sat by the bed to feed her. “Will the Third Master come today?”
Xu Xi left right after delivering the food. He had also brought a nurse with him. He had initially planned to get the nurse to take care of her. However, since Ling Sheng had arrived, the nurse auntie waited outside without entering.
