Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 951: Each to Take a Step Back

Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly, rejecting with all her might and tried to find an excuse. “Mom, there’s really no need. I want to vomit whenever I smell the hospital. Even now, I want to… Bleugh!”

In order to avoid the check-up, she had also pulled out all stops. What should she do? When would these days of anxiety end?

Nangong Lengyu looked at her skeptically. “You really don’t need one?”

Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly. “Mom, let’s go home. I have a prenatal checkup scheduled tomorrow. Third Master will accompany me. It’s already so late, so there must be no one at the hospital. It’s hard to do a proper check-up.”

Nangong Lengyu nodded and looked at Huo Ci unhappily. “Come to the hospital with me.”

Huo Ci did not speak and got out of the car obediently.

Upon seeing the duo disappear one after another, Ling Sheng finally asked Zuo Ming, “Where are they going?”

Zuo Ming was attentive and analyzed the situation. “Didn’t the Sixth Master’s arm fracture a few days ago? I think your mother has been paying attention to his arm. She should be going there to take a look!”

Upon hearing Zuo Ming’s words, Ling Sheng deeply felt that she was not a qualified daughter. She had actually forgotten about this. Look, her mother still cared. Otherwise, why would she be so attentive?

As Zuo Ming had expected, when he returned, Huo Ci’s arm was hanging in a cast in front of his chest again. He had gone to check his arm.

Huo Ci sat on Ling Sheng’s left side.

Nangong Lengyu sat on Ling Sheng’s right and passed the medicine in her hand to Huo Ci. “The doctor said to take the medicine properly. The instructions are written on the packaging.”

Did he not know what pain was? When he went over to take a look at his injury, the doctor had said that the bone had cracked. The degree of pain was not much better than giving birth to a child. He had been told to take good care of it, or it would leave behind a lingering illness.

Ling Sheng felt that there was a chance between them, so she decided to take advantage of the situation. “Dad, come back with us tonight. It’s already so late. Grandpa and Grandma should be asleep. The elderly sleep lightly. If you go back, make a lot of noise and wake them up, Grandma won’t be able to sleep.”

In the beginning, she was telling her father, but later, she was mainly talking to her mother. What a perfect excuse! It settled everything in one go.

However, after she finished speaking, no one responded to her. Her father did not speak, and neither did her mother. She was left alone in the middle, feeling awkward. Upon seeing the duo’s expressions, she sensibly stopped talking too.

After a moment of disappointment, she comforted herself internally. This matter required further consideration. She could not be anxious.

When the car reached the entrance of the district, they realized that there were police cars blocking the entrance. It was chaotic, and many people were watching the commotion.

When she got out of the car, she found out that a thief had appeared in the district. The thief had entered the house of a homeowner to steal something. The male owner was also a tough man, so he had immediately started fighting with the thief. Both sides had been seriously injured, and the ambulance had just taken them to the hospital.

Upon seeing the noisy crowd, Huo Ci said sarcastically, “The security in this district is too poor. Let’s go stay at home. If you stay in a place like this, I’ll be worried whether you encounter a burglary.”

Nangong Lengyu let out a cold laugh. “My house’s anti-theft facilities are very good. They won’t let thieves have the chance to slip in. You don’t have to worry. I can guarantee with my life that nothing will happen to Sheng Sheng.”

The villa district here belonged to a high-end residential area in the capital. The security had always been very good, and she had never heard of any burglary. Why had they bumped into it so coincidentally tonight? It let this scumbag Huo Ci have an excuse to ridicule her! And take Sheng Sheng away.

“What kind of guarantee is that?” Huo Ci looked at Ling Sheng and tugged at her arm, wanting to get in the car. “Let’s go home! This place is too dangerous. Don’t come over here again.”

“Huo Ci, we agreed that Sheng Sheng will stay with me today.” Nangong Lengyu’s cold eyes blazed as she clenched her fists.

Ever since Sheng Sheng had gotten pregnant, she had returned to Huo Ci’s condominium. The two elders of the Huo Family were also present, so it was not appropriate for her to ask Sheng Sheng to accompany her. She could only take the time to visit her in the day, but she did not want to meet Huo Ci either. She did not have much time to interact with her every day.

Last night, when Sheng Sheng had called to ask her to attend the rehearsal, she had decided that no matter what, she would make her daughter stay by her side. She wanted to accompany her and take care of her.

“But something already happened to your place here. I’m worried.” Huo Ci smiled and added, “This place is quite dreadful. I suggest you move somewhere else too!”

Ling Sheng could clearly feel the gunpowder smell in the air. Sparks flew as cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Hey, you two big shots, can you stop arguing and ask me for my opinion as the person involved first?

“I told you that I won’t let anything happen to Sheng Sheng. When I get home, I’ll immediately hire a bodyguard. This kind of thing seldom happens throughout the year. The probability of this kind of event is not an excuse for you to take Sheng Sheng away.” Nangong Lengyu frowned even more tightly. She knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her and did not want to let her see Sheng Sheng!

“Then, we’ll talk about this again after you find a bodyguard!” Huo Ci’s smile deepened as he gave Ling Sheng a warning look before pulling her into the car.

“Sheng Sheng, who do you want to stay with?” Nangong Lengyu quickly took two steps forward and grabbed Ling Sheng’s arm too. “Do you want to stay with your father or mother?”

Ling Sheng was in a difficult position. She took a look at her father and then at her mother. In a weak voice, she said, “Can I choose both? Mom, since my father is worried, let him live with us so that he can protect me too.”

Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu said in unison, “No!”

Ling Sheng let out a cough and struggled free from the duo. She let out an anxious roar. She was angry now. “In that case, both of you can return to your respective homes! I’ll stay in a hotel by myself!”

Who didn’t have a temper?!

Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu did not fight anymore. Ling Sheng was unwilling. She would not accept any discussion. She was unwilling to follow anyone. She stood by the roadside to hail a taxi, insisting on staying at a hotel.

Nangong Lengyu and Huo Ci looked at each other. In the end, the duo took a step back each and chose to compromise.

When Ling Sheng held Nangong Lengyu’s hand and walked into the district, her heart was full of delight. There was a good saying: it is healthier to act out. She should have done this a long time ago!

When they passed by the supermarket at the entrance of the district, she even bought a stick of candied hawthorn and ate it happily. After feeding half of it to Nangong Lengyu, she turned around and smiled at Huo Ci, raising the candied hawthorn. “Dad, do you want to eat it?”

“I’m not eating!” Huo Ci clenched his molar teeth as he spat out two words. When he saw the girl walking happily with her head swaying in front of him proudly, he knew that she had done it on purpose. When he thought of the way she had kicked up a fuss just now, he would have smacked her if she had not been pregnant and was also frightened by the accident tonight.

Was her mother that nice? Look at her attitude toward her mother. Then, he thought about how she had treated him in the past once more. Besides angering him every day, she was angering him!

As they walked, a black figure suddenly flew out of the forest in front of them and headed toward Ling Sheng and Nangong Lengyu.
