Chapter 991: Wish to Win Someone’s Heart
When they got in the car, Jun Shiyan saw that the young girl was still leaning against the window and waving at Nangong Lengyu reluctantly. Actually, her silhouette had long disappeared from sight. He grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He asked, “What did the two of you say about me?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. “We didn’t say anything! Why would the two of us chat about you?!”
“Little liar!” Jun Shiyan did not believe her. He observed the crafty look on her face and felt the true warmth of the petite person in his embrace before sighing. “Forget it if you don’t want to tell me. I’ll know even if you don’t tell me.”
Upon seeing that he was still full of confidence, Ling Sheng poked his chest and asked, “Know what? What do you know?”
Jun Shiyan smiled mysteriously. “I know everything the two of you were talking about.”
“You’re the big liar,” Ling Sheng pouted. “If you know, why would you still ask me just now?”
Did he overhear? He definitely couldn’t have..
Her mother had told her to be careful of men. Even if he treated her well, he might go wild at any moment and turn into a wolf to bully her. She told her to be careful.
On the fifth day of Ling Sheng’s stay here, she started feeling a little strange. The smell of the candle on her body was getting fainter and fainter each day.
When she slept at night, she suddenly felt that her body had even turned transparent. She did not have the time to say goodbye to anyone. In the blink of an eye, she had arrived at a strange place.
The room was decorated in light blue colors. It was very pretty and warm. This was a girl’s room. A beautiful woman was sitting in front of the table as her slender and pretty fingers picked up a diary.
It was a very vintage diary, the kind that even had a combination lock. After entering some numbers, the password-locked diary opened.
Ling Sheng saw the password of her diary clearly and also a photo on the table on her left. In the photo were two pretty girls. One was the girl in front of her, and the other was Dongfang Meng.
She received a sudden shock. She had already guessed her identity—she was Second Uncle’s fiancée, Dongfang Chu. She looked like a very kind and gentle girl.
Dongfang Chu picked up a pen and started writing in the diary. Her expression was calm and gentle, as though she had written something that made her happy. Her lips curled up into a bright smile.
Ling Sheng only felt her vision getting increasingly blurry, and her head also became extremely heavy. She only saw a few words: I wish to win someone’s heart.
“Sheng Sheng, Sheng Sheng, wake up. Hurry up and get up.” Nangong Lengyu called out to her. Why was she sleeping so soundly? “You’re going for the audition.”
Ling Sheng’s eyelids were so heavy that she could not open them. She felt as though she was undergoing sleep paralysis. After being shaken a few times, she suddenly sucked in a deep breath. What greeted her eyes was Nangong Lengyu’s beautiful smiling face. Her voice was a little hoarse as she cried, “Mom!”
Upon seeing the strange look in her eyes, Nangong Lengyu frowned and touched her forehead nervously. “You don’t have a fever… Did you have a nightmare?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. She had not had a nightmare, but she had gone back in time and seen their younger days. Even now, she wasn’t sure if she had transmigrated over there or if she had simply had a dream.
On the table, the aromatherapy candle had already burned out, leaving only a bit of residue. There was only a faint fragrance left in the room too.
However, at the very end, why had she seen Dongfang Chu? She had even seen her write in her diary. She was dishonorable enough to remember the person’s password as well; it was imprinted clearly in her mind.
“Mom, what happened between the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family and my second uncle?” Ling Sheng personally believed that she would not see someone she didn’t know at all for no reason.
“Child, why are you asking this?” Nangong Lengyu reached out to pull her up. “You lazy bum. If you don’t get up soon, you’ll be late for the audition.”
“Mom, I dreamed of your younger days.” Ling Sheng fell lazily into her embrace and hugged her, rubbing against her affectionately. “Mom, I dreamed that you were wearing a leather jacket and fighting with someone too! You were so cool!”
“I got it, I got it. When did you become so needy?” Although Nangong Lengyu said that, she was very happy inwardly. Her heart melted into a ball. Her daughter had never been so intimate with her like this before.
“Mom, why were you so good-looking in the past?” Ling Sheng grinned. “People say that when one is extremely beautiful, they look androgynous. I only realized that it was true when I saw you.”
“Let me see if your mouth has been smeared with honey.” Nangong Lengyu laughed and reached out to smack her small butt. “Don’t sleep in anymore. Get up.”
“Mom, you’re a goddess. You can’t manhandle me.” Ling Sheng touched the spot where she had been hit aggrievedly and said, “You’re my male idol now!”
“Nonsense.” Nangong Lengyu suddenly felt that after her daughter had woken up from a dream, she had become even closer to her. She did not know if it was just her own imagination.
When Ling Sheng went out, she realized that her father, who liked to sleep in the most, had woken up early for once. She looked at him with a complicated expression.
Huo Ci, who had just finished running, entered from outside. When he saw the brat’s gaze, as though she had never seen him before, he frowned. He swallowed his words and gave her a sideways look. “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a man as handsome as me?”
Ling Sheng let out a laugh. After returning, she realized that everyone looked freaking pleasing to her eye. She nodded and gave him a thumbs-up. “Dad, you’re the most handsome man in the world.”
Huo Ci let out a cold snort, changed his shoes, and dragged his feet in his slippers home. “Do you I need you to tell me what the whole world knows?”
Ling Sheng watched her father shuffle to the balcony, pick up the spray hose in passing and water the flowers. She suppressed her laughter and took a look. Fine, this scene does still look quite harmonious.
She felt that she could come up with a subject matter in bold and capital letters: Did the high-spirited, rebellious young man tragically turn into a cantankerous handsome uncle due to the distortion of human nature or the degeneracy of his personality?
Although the food Nangong Lengyu cooked was not delicious, she still liked to cook for her daughter personally. It seemed like this was the only way to display her motherly nature., which she had no place to express. She jogged to the washroom door and asked Ling Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, do you want hard or soft-boiled eggs?”
Ling Sheng was brushing her teeth when she said incoherently, “Soft. I want a runny egg.”
After Nangong Lengyu finished asking, she ran back without waiting for her reply. Soft-boiled egg.
Huo Ci happened to walk in. Upon hearing her question, he shouted, “I’ll have a soft-boiled egg too!”
Nangong Lengyu did not even bother answering him. She really wanted to throw a retort, “Cook it yourself if you want to eat.” What, did he still want her to serve him? She thought about it and decided to forget it. After all, this was his house.
Xiaoqi had already gotten out of bed too. He rubbed his eyes and walked to the washroom. When the little fella, who was not fully awake, walked past Huo Ci, he was knocked on the head. Then, he looked up and bowed unsteadily. “Good morning, Grandpa.”
Upon seeing the child’s dazed look, Huo Ci let out a snort. “Look at you. Hurry up and go to the washroom to look for your mom to wash your face.”
