I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 559 Requesting For Bao To Become Her Apprentice

In a daze, Bao looked at Huo Ling. “No. My family loves me!” He held out his fingers and counted, “Daddy and Mommy, Grandpa and Grandma, Granddad and Granny, Grandma Zhang…” He finished counting all his fingers, but he had not listed out all the names, making him seem well-liked. Looking at Huo Ling in bewilderment, he asked, “Does your family dislike you?”

Huo Ling’s expression gloomed. “No, of course not! It goes without saying that my whole family loves a good, adorable, and charming girl like me. They can’t get enough of me!”

She could not stop rambling. On the other hand, Bao made a contemptuous gesture and responded, “Huh? You big dummy. It’s normal to be disliked. You don’t have to get discouraged by that, and you don’t have to lie. I know I’m little, but I’m not dumb!”

“You little brat… You’re very unlikeable! How I wish to get my hands on you!” Huo Ling gnashed her teeth.

“Mommy says only those who get irritated because they’ve been pointed out will want to punish others. Besides, I’m younger than you. You’re bullying me!” Bao was not afraid of Huo Ling at all. He even stuck out his tongue at her after he finished speaking. Flying into anger, Huo Ling flashed him a ferocious look and claimed that she would punish him there and then.

Needless to say, she had no intention to do so.

Nevertheless, Huo Ling found Bao to be quite quick-witted in spite of his young age. He could still retain his kindness, even though he was living in such an awful family environment. She could not help but admire and envy him.

Heaving a sigh, Huo Ling stuffed a piece of chestnut cake into her mouth. “Aunt Zhang, your chestnut cake’s scrumptious!”

“Oh. If that’s the case, you should have more! Wait, no. You shouldn’t eat so much since it’s late now. I’ll make other delicious food for you tomorrow. How’s that?”

Aunt Zhang grew fonder of Huo Ling the more they spent time together. She thought Huo Ling was a nice girl with a sweet temperament.

Huo Ling’s eyes sparkled when she heard Aunt Zhang’s suggestion. “That’s great. Aunt Zhang, I want a steamed meat bun. An enormous steamed meat bun!”

“All right. I’ll make it for you, Ms. Huo!”

After the meal, Huo Ling went upstairs to her pre-arranged room. Aunt Zhang had cleaned it up beforehand, so it looked much better, unlike the dull and dim room back in her own house. Nevertheless, it still lacked a feminine touch.

Although Huo Ling never dwelled on the details, she was still a maiden at heart. Since she was a high-born lady from the Huo family, everyone in the Huo residence pampered her. However, that kind of lifestyle was not ideal for Huo Ling. She would rather live in Bao’s environment and grow up carefree.

After bathing, Huo Ling immediately lunged onto her large and lovely pink bed.
