Huo Sicheng saw that Gu Qingcheng and her son were whispering again.
At the same table, he had the unpleasant feeling of being abandoned by the mother and son.
He reminded her, "Huo Xuan, let's eat."
Huo Xuan pretended not to hear her father's voice and tugged at her mother's sleeve with her small hand under the table.
Gu Qingcheng put her ear close to Huo Xuan's mouth.
"There's a white box in the third drawer of Daddy's study desk. Mommy, can you take out the box and give it to Baby?" Huo Xuan cut to the chase. "I can't go into Dad's study without his permission. There's something I like in there. I hope Mom can sneak in and take it without Dad finding out. Otherwise, Dad will be angry with me. Can Mom help me?"
"I thought it was an emergency." Don't worry," Gu Qingcheng comforted Huo Xuan. "I won't let your father find out about what I'm doing. Just wait for me to bring you the stuff."
