The two elderly people watched their grandson and granddaughter-in-law interact with each other, and were delighted.

They will surely hear good news soon.

The road to winning back his wife is long and arduous, keep it up, you rascal!

After sitting for a while, Zhang Wenxiu urged, "Butler Liu, what else is there?"

The implication was that they should finish quickly and leave as soon as possible, as Jingyao and Xixi had important business to attend to.

Butler Liu understood and gave two "ok" signs.

He shouted loudly, "Next segment: giving out gifts!"

Fu Jianhua took out a jade carving and said with a smile, "Grandson, here, place it in the most conspicuous place at the entrance, so that it can be seen as soon as you enter."

Before Fu Jingyao could speak, Butler Liu excitedly took the jade carving and placed it on the highest shelf of the cabinet.

Butler Liu asked, "Can you see it clearly?"

Fu Jianhua gave a thumbs up, "Very clear."

Fu Jingyao glanced at the jade carving and smiled faintly.

For my 26th birthday, my grandparents finally gave me something useful; I don't want to mention the gifts they gave me before.

A turtle that sprays water, a complete set of math test papers, an extravagant mink coat, fresh wildflowers picked from the roadside...

What are all these things?

Fu Jingyao sighed.

Fu Jianhua pinched his arm and desperately tried to signal him with his eyes, "What are you laughing at?"

"If you like it, then keep going."

Fu Jingyao remained silent for a moment, then walked behind Lin Xi, his meaning quite clear.

Whether you two want a grandchild depends on Xixi's feelings. I have the lowest status in this family.

Sixty-three!

Sixty-three whole days!!

Fu Jianhua glared at him, thinking, "You're really useless."

"The birthday is over, and the gift has been given. Wenxiu and I will go back to rest early. You two take good care of yourselves, and tell Grandpa as soon as you have any news."

Lin Xi replied, "No problem."

She and Fu Jingyao have only met once so far, and he specifically used a rectangular box for that time on the island.

A host of mysteries lay before her; she didn't want children for the time being, as pregnancy was too dangerous now.

Lin Xi waved, "Grandpa and Grandma, drive carefully."

Zhang Wenxiu and Fu Jianhua said goodbye to her, "Goodbye, goodbye, come visit Grandpa and Grandma's house next time."

Lin Xi: "Next time for sure."

Upon hearing her words, Butler Liu ordered everyone to tidy up the living room and then quickly retreated.

"Young Master's birthday celebration is over, let's go!!"

The group arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving the large living room empty in an instant.

The man crossed his long legs, his gaze unreadable. "Xixi, Grandpa and Grandma gave you gifts. Where's yours?"

"Of course I'm prepared." Lin Xi turned her wrist. "Besides me, there are also little elves."

Colorful lights fell to the ground, and they all said in unison, "Baby, happy birthday."

Fu Jingyao suppressed the emotions surging in his eyes, "Thank you, Xiao Jin, Xiao Mu, Xiao Shui, Xiao Huo, and Xiao Tu."

Xiao Jin took out a piece of gold, "I didn't know what to prepare, so I turned it into a gold brick."

Xiao Mu held a bouquet of flowers in her hands, saying, "A birthday must have a beautiful bouquet."

Xiao Shui holds up a basin of blue water, "bringing the taste of the ocean into my home."

Little Fire spews out a burst of flame, "Performing a spark magic act to celebrate Bao's birthday."

Little Tu spun around, "Then I'll dance and sing."

Fu Jingyao accepted the gold bricks and flowers, and thanked them one by one, saying, "Thank you, five lovely little elves."

"You're welcome."

Little Jin is very sensible. After giving out the gift, he directed the other elves to return the bracelet.

"Master, Bao, we won't disturb you anymore."

Xiao Mu didn't want to leave. "Brother Jin, stay a little longer... Ouch, don't pull my ear."

Xiao Jin grabbed his ear and dragged him back, saying, "Let's go, no trouble today."

"I'm not trying to cause any trouble, I just want to eat cake."

Xiao Mu hugged the remaining cake, slipped back into Lin Xi's bracelet, and left behind a meaningful remark.

"Master, darling, have a pleasant evening."

Lin Xi pressed Xiao Mu down, saying, "Eat more cake and talk less."

"We know, we promise we won't run around."

The little elves left, and Lin Xi and Fu Jingyao faced each other, the atmosphere a little awkward.

Fu Jingyao wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly in his embrace, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He looked her up and down, his eyes filled with obvious desire. "Xixi, can I open my gift now?"

Lin Xi clenched her fist and pressed it against his chest, widening the distance between them. "Be serious, the gift is in my bag."

The man's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his tone was filled with endless grievances.

"I don't want any other gifts, I just want you."

Lin Xi coughed lightly and looked down at her small bag. "I am me, and a gift is a gift. They are not the same."

Fu Jingyao replied naturally.

"I want a gift, and I want you too."

Their eyes met, and Lin Xi was stunned.

The man leaned closer, his chin resting on the crook of her neck, his voice slightly hoarse, "Xixi, why have you been avoiding me these past few days? If you hate that kind of thing, then never again..."

Lin Xi shook her head. "It's not that I hate it, it's that I'm afraid."

Fu Jingyao was taken aback for a moment, "I'm afraid of pain. I went too far last time, I'm sorry."

Lin Xi clenched her fingertips, deciding to make things clear, "When we have intimate contact, your purple aura will flow into my body and decrease day by day."

She looked up and whispered, "I'm afraid... I'll hurt you."

The man whispered soothingly behind her ear, "Husband and wife are one, take anything of mine."

"Xixi, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"But……"

"No buts. You once said that my fate is extremely good. What kind of good is it if even you can't protect me?"

Fu Jingyao hugged her tightly, his heart pounding.

For his safety, Xi Xi was also restraining her emotions and trying to absorb as little purple energy as possible.
