She would definitely not have taken after her sc.u.mbag of a father!

That night, Ling Sheng slept very well. She dreamed of the very, very short time when her mother had hugged her and sung her a lullaby.

In fact, she felt like she had dreamed of a warm place in her mother's stomach where she could hear her mother's rea.s.suring heartbeat. It was magical.

Nangong Lengyu dreamed of Little Star. Little Star had grown up in her dream. She saw her back, but she could not see her face. Her heart warmed with happiness.

This was the first time in more than twenty years that she had dreamed of her growing up. She was not a small picture taken in her stomach anymore.

Nangong Lengyu's body was fine. She stayed the night and was discharged the next day.

Huo Ci did not know that Ling Sheng had come to keep her company. She went home early the next morning. Of course, her grandparents would help her hide it. If he found out, it would cause a big mess!

“Fifth Uncle, did my father anger Auntie Yu so much that she was admitted to the hospital?” Ling Sheng only called Lu Yubai when she was free to try to get information out of him.

“Who told you that? Are you guessing? Why would your father do that?” Actually, Lu Yubai did not want her to get involved. The grudges of the previous generation had nothing to do with her.

Ling Sheng did not believe him. She pouted. “You're lying to me. The doctor told me that Auntie Yu's stomach cramps were caused by anger. You came to the hospital and even mentioned my father. It's alright if you don't admit it. Anyway, I understand.”

Lu Yubai's head ached terribly. He did not know if he should be worried or happy to have such a smart girl around. Why did she know everything? “Don't tell your father about this. Don't mention Sister Yu's hospitalization either.”

Ling Sheng knew that he had tacitly agreed. Before hanging up, she kindly reminded him, “By the way, Fifth Uncle, it's Sister Su Yi's birthday on the 25th.”

Lu Yubai frowned. “What does that have to do with me?”

Ling Sheng pouted and smiled sneakily. Then, she said, “You'll be single forever. Sister Su Yi likes gold accessories, especially ones that are inlaid with gold and jade.”

Lu Yubai hung up immediately.

Ling Sheng let out a snort. Look at these old bachelors. They deserved to be single. They did not understand girls' minds at all. They had lived so long in vain.

The New Year was approaching. Ling Sheng and Huo Ci were very busy every day and had to rehea.r.s.e for the Spring Festival Gala.

Besides the show, Ling Sheng had to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination next year.

Huo Ci still had to deal with the company's matters. It was the end of the year, so the Big Boss was busy.

Su Xiyin and Huo Xiao returned to the old residence. The Lunar New Year was a busy period. They had to manage the overall situation and deal with the visitors.

Xiaoqi was also on winter break, but no one had the time to watch him and play with him.

Huo Xiao wanted to take Xiaoqi back to the old residence, but Huo Ci was unwilling. He said that he would take him back when the time came because he was afraid that the bunch of sc.u.mbags in the old residence would bully him.

Xiaoqi would either go to daycare, or Ling Sheng would take him to rehearsals with her. The child was very well-behaved to begin with, so he could sit in the rehearsal room for a day and watch them rehea.r.s.e. He would look at his picture book and have fun. In a few days, the child had finished piecing together the Hogwarts Castle that Huo Ci had bought him.
