Huo Guining simply brought Song Tianbai in with her to watch the show.

In the living room, Huo Xiaozheng sat fully dressed in the main seat. Song Qing, swaying her hips with the air of a hostess, offered fruit to Huo Guining.

"Ning Ning, you're back? Come have some fruit."

Huo Yueze rolled his eyes. "Excuse me, ma'am, but who are you?"

Song Qing's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard. "The fruit is so fresh today..."

Huo Xiaozheng's voice was cold, carrying a warning: "Song Qing, know your limits."

Song Qing's flamboyant movements finally ceased.

She sat down opposite Huo Xiaozheng and beckoned to Song Tianbai.

Song Tianbai silently walked to her side.

Huo Guining snorted softly and went to Huo Xiaozheng's side, asking, "Dad, are you feeling better?"

Huo Xiaozheng nodded. "Much better. Where did you and your brother go play?"

Before Huo Yueze could intervene, Huo Guining excitedly said, "We went to play an escape room game, the kind where the dolls are covered in blood!"

Huo Xiaozheng shot Huo Yueze a sharp glance.

Huo Yueze shrank his neck, trying hard to minimize his presence.

"Dad, don't be mad at brother. It was really fun!" Huo Guining earnestly tried to convince him.

Huo Xiaozheng's expression softened: "Alright, next time when Dad is free, I'll go with you."

This scene of paternal affection irritated Song Qing immensely.

"Ah!" Song Tianbai suddenly cried out in pain.

Huo Guining looked up, just in time to see a flash of pain in his eyes.

Song Qing scolded, "What are you yelling for? Haven't I taught you manners?"

Song Tianbai lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Huo Xiaozheng frowned. "Song Qing, I've already told you what needs to be said. It's time for you to leave."

Huo Guining's eyes widened. She had just returned, and the drama was already over?

Song Qing looked very reluctant, but given the presence of the children and Huo Xiaozheng's clear attitude, she couldn't say more.

In a moment of anger, she grabbed Song Tianbai with one hand and walked straight out.

Song Tianbai couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

The sudden sound seemed to touch Song Qing's forbidden zone. Before the mother and son could leave the living room, a loud slap was heard.

Huo Guining's body stiffened, and she couldn't help but peek.

Huo Xiaozheng covered her eyes and gestured for the housekeeper to see the guests out quickly.

Everyone's thoughts were in a jumble.

Huo Yueze sighed, "Although that Song Tianbai kid isn't likable, he doesn't deserve to be hit..."

Huo Guining remembered Song Tianbai's expression of unwavering loyalty to his mother, and her expression became complex.

"Dad, are they acting?"

Seeing the mother and son walk away, Huo Xiaozheng removed his hand and said leisurely, "No. Song Qing just resents him for causing her husband's death."
