Chapter 749: Powerless and Sad

The brat’s face was terribly flushed. He had thought that he was excited, but it turned out that he had a fever. What did that have to do with her though?

“Huo Ci, do you know how to take care of children? Have you taken care of children before?” Nangong Lengyu knew that the state of affairs for each country was different. In China, it was normal to hit and scold children. Many people knew even less about domestic violence and child abuse. She really could not do anything to him, but she was even more worried about letting Xiaoqi leave with him. In the end, she could only compromise. Her voice softened a little. “I’ll come with you.”

She did not have an official title or justification to be here, nor was she Xiaoqi’s relative. At most, she was his mother’s friend. This was the first time she felt powerless and sad.

What right did an irresponsible scumbag like Huo Ci have to be Sheng Sheng’s relative? Xiaoqi was even so dependent on him and liked him so much. He was not worthy!

Huo Ci frowned. He did not say if he agreed or not, but he watched as she followed him. For a moment, he did not know what he was feeling. His grip on Xiaoqi tightened involuntarily.

He knew that he should kick her out, that she should disappear from his sight immediately.

However, he did not know if he had gone crazy. It was shameful that he actually felt joy ooze out of his heart. He actually felt reluctant.

This extremely ridiculous feeling made him want to kill himself for a moment. On what basis? On what basis should he still have such d*mnable feelings toward her?

Nangong Lengyu followed beside him and frowned slightly. After convincing herself, she realized that everything was not that difficult. She talked to him nicely. “Can you remove the rope?”

Huo Ci was not happy. “Why should I take it down? Are you going to be responsible if he gets lost!”

“I’ll be responsible. I’ll be responsible, all right?” Nangong Lengyu gritted her teeth and growled. If it had not been for Xiaoqi, she really would not have been able to tolerate being in the same space as such a person for even a second.

“Can you take responsibility?” Huo Ci muttered before reaching out to remove the leash and throw it at her.

There were too many people there, so he was afraid that he would not be able to find the brat if he got distracted. Hence, he bought a leash from the pet shop. He had watched videos of many parents doing this in crowded places.

Many people had come to the signing event. The fans who had not been able to enter were waiting outside to see their ‘baby’. No one knew which sharp-eyed person had discovered Nangong Lengyu and taken a photo. They even recorded a small video.

Goddess Nangong’s temperament shone when she stood in a crowd. One could not help but look at her.

In addition, she was not in the entertainment circle now, so she did not have many reservations. She had come over openly without even wearing a pair of sunglasses or a mask.

Beside the Movie Queen was a man wearing a big and fat black down jacket that reached his knees. However, one could still see the man’s long, straight legs. They were straight.

The key was that the man was still carrying a child in his arms. As though to protect the child, his big hand grabbed his head and made him lie on his shoulder.

Although Movie Queen Nangong had already left the entertainment circle, she was still a hot topic in the entertainment circle. Especially during the period she had been ‘battling’ with Movie King Huo, her limelight had occupied half of the entertainment circle once again. Everyone who was in the industry or knew how to surf the internet recognized her. Many people were even speculating that she was creating hype to make a comeback.

These three key words—Movie Queen Nangong, a man, and a child, were enough to cause a huge earthquake in the entertainment circle.
