Chapter 1553: Chapter 899: An Awkward Reunion, Reserved Father vs. Uninhibited Son? (Double Update)
Jiang Mansion
Jiang Jinsang just stepped out of the shower and saw Tang Wan talking on the phone with Shen Shuci. She knew all too well what kind of chemistry reaction could happen when these two kids got together and was afraid that Shen Shuci might not be able to handle them.
"Mutang is very well-behaved, don’t worry too much. I’ll go help him with his bath, we can talk later."
Tang Wan hung up the phone, and Jiang Jinsang appeared behind her, holding a towel, helping her dry her hair, "Why didn’t you even blow your hair dry?"
"Not too reassured."
"It’s not the first time he’s staying at their place."
"But this time only my aunt is there."
"Do you think your aunt is a pushover? If these two kids tick her off, they’re not escaping a thorough beating. Don’t forget, even Tinglan got a beating before."
Thinking about this, Tang Wan gave a knowing smile.
That little troublemaker from the Huo Family usually had someone to pamper him, so he had a bit of a temper. One time, for some unknown reason, he started acting out and defying Shen Shuci. People coaxed him, but he just acted up.
Shen Shuci lost her temper too, broke a branch off the plum tree in the backyard, and chased him around the yard. In the end, the little guy finally gave in, sniffling and admitting his fault.
After being hit once, he never dared to act up in front of Shen Shuci, stirring trouble again.
"Today, aunt mentioned about having a second child..." Jiang Jinsang was drying her hair, "What do you think?"
"Do you want a second child?" Tang Wan turned to look at him.
"I don’t really care about having a second child, but I quite like the process of making a child."
"..."
Anyway, with their son not home tonight, no one would interrupt them, so both Jiang Jinsang’s words and actions became increasingly bold.

While those two were in their lovey-dovey world, Shen Shuci was having a bit of a headache. She just answered a phone call, and when she came back into the room, saw the two kids stripped down to just their underwear.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shuci frowned.
"Taking a bath." The little troublemaker looked quite excited.
"One at a time!"
Anyone could see through their thoughts — if they went into the bathroom together, they’d probably start a water fight before even starting to bathe.
"Wrap yourself in the blanket; I’ll take Mutang for his bath first." Shen Shuci looked somewhat helplessly at her son.
Usually, it wasn’t easy getting him to undress, but this time he stripped down enthusiastically.
If she had been a second later, those two kids might have already stripped bare and slipped into the bathroom together.
"Alright." The little troublemaker sighed, pretending to wrap the blanket around himself, and as he saw the two going into the bathroom, he sighed dramatically, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the family photo on the bedside table, focusing on the tall, cold-faced man.
Dad?
Hmph—
He snorted coldly and suddenly remembered there was still ice cream left in the fridge, so wrapped in the blanket, he rushed to the kitchen. Just as he opened the freezer, he heard a sudden car noise, followed by a series of steady and strong footsteps.
The front door opened, and he instinctively wrapped the blanket tighter, finding a place to hide.
In his current state, no matter who came, he couldn’t be seen like this.
Who on earth was visiting so late at night?
Huo Ran Uncle?
In any case, he had to find a place to hide.
But as soon as the door opened, the person who entered instinctively glanced around and immediately noticed something unusual.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t hidden well, but his shadow had betrayed him.
The man frowned, and just as someone behind him was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop them. He glanced in that direction seemingly strolled off in another direction.
The little troublemaker immediately breathed a sigh of relief, peeking his head around to see who it was, only to find nothing but emptiness.
Just as he was about to sneak back to his room, the blanket suddenly got yanked hard...
He instantly felt a chill all over as if a gust of through-house wind had blown past.
His buttocks were chilly too.
He instinctively turned around, seeing someone standing against the light, their features hidden in the dark, but those sharp, menacing eyes were visible, looming over him with a tall stature, making him feel small, pitiful, and helpless.
"Dad, Dad—" The little troublemaker still recognized him and that intimidating aura about him.
The last time Huo Qinqi saw him was more than half a year ago, and in his imagination, their reunion might have been one of excitement after a long absence, but instead...
He was wearing nothing but a little pair of underwear, completely exposed, the kid was so fair-skinned, his skin so tender, just glowing white.
No joyous tears of father and son reuniting after a long time, just pure embarrassment.
He never expected his son to be so bold in the middle of the night, darting around in just this pair of underwear.
"What are you doing here so late?" Huo Qinqi frowned.
