Chapter 254 (Second Update)

254:

As soon as Ye Qingxi, Qin Cheng, and Qin Luan entered Ya Feng Pavilion, someone came to greet them.

This time, Ye Qingxi was very aware of her status as a minor celebrity, and even wore a mask and pulled the hood of her down jacket over her head.

The fluffy white brim of his hat made his face look small and pretty, indescribably cute.

In addition, Qin Luan wore a white haute couture coat and carried a limited edition bag, exuding an air of luxury.

Qin Cheng was also exceptionally handsome.

The manager in charge could tell at a glance that the three of them were definitely not ordinary people.

Therefore, the manager politely asked, "Hello, do you have a reservation?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi opened her mouth and gave Feng Que's name.

This was taught to him by Xiao Dai, who said that when he arrived, if the other party asked him, he should give the name Feng Que.

“Then I need to tell Uncle Feng,” Ye Qingxi said at the time.

“It’s okay, I’ll tell him.” Xiao Dai smiled and looked at him. “Sometimes I help him greet guests and I go there too. I just mention his name, so I can just tell him. Besides, I have other things to report to him anyway.”

When Ye Qingxi heard him say that, she agreed.

"Okay then, thank you, Brother Dai."

"You're welcome," Xiao Dai said gently.

Therefore, Ye Qingxi did not tell Feng Que about this herself.

The manager was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Just moments before, Young Master Feng and Old Master Feng had entered the store, and now three more people related to Young Master Feng had arrived—a woman and a child.

this……

The affairs of the wealthy are never something ordinary people like them can get involved in, so the manager didn't ask a single question or say anything more, and led the three of them to a private room that was quite far from Old Master Feng's private room.

After Ye Qingxi finished ordering, he heard Qin Cheng ask him, "Xiaoxi, do you need to go to the restroom?"

Ye Qingxi thought about it and decided it was a good idea, so she nodded.

"Then I'll go with you." Qin Luan stood up.

She asked the waiter for directions and then left with her two children.

Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng went into the men's restroom, while Qin Luan waited for them on the bench outside.

After the two children finished their lessons, washed their hands, and walked out together, Qin Luan led them back.

As they were walking, the door to a private room not far away opened, and someone came out.

Qin Cheng looked at Mu Shaowu's suddenly appearing figure and then looked at his younger brother in surprise, "Xiao Xi, your father."

Ye Qingxi naturally saw it too.

He rushed over excitedly, reaching Mu Shaowu in front of him. "Dad, what are you doing here?"

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaowu exclaimed in horror, "What are you doing here?!"

"I invited my aunt and brother to dinner, but I didn't know which restaurants were good around here, so I asked Brother Dai, and he recommended one," Ye Qingxi explained.

Mu Shaowu: ...Xiao Dai! You deserve to die!

Upon hearing the sound, Grandpa Feng, who was sitting in the private room, immediately stood up, walked to the door, and saw his future great-grandson standing outside.

Grandpa Feng was overjoyed and suggested they have dinner together, but his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law both said the child didn't know and it wasn't allowed.

Unexpectedly, the weather turned out so well that we bumped into each other here. Isn't this what they call fate?!

"Shaowu, is this your son?" Old Master Feng asked knowingly.

Feng Que, who was standing next to Grandpa Feng, immediately became anxious: Grandpa, maybe we should just stop talking!

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu could only nod, "Mm."

"Hello, Grandpa," Ye Qingxi greeted politely.

Qin Cheng also said, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Hello," Qin Luan greeted him.

Before she came to visit the set, Mu Zheng specifically introduced her to several important figures in the Feng family, with the first being Old Master Feng, who made the Feng family what it is today overseas.

Grandpa Feng smiled and nodded in response.

He looked down at Ye Qingxi and said, "You can't call me grandpa. Your father calls me grandpa, so what do you have to call me?"

Ye Qingxi: "Great-grandfather?"

"That's more like it!" Old Master Feng laughed.

Ye Qingxi looked at him with a smile, "Hello, Great-Grandpa~"

Qin Cheng then changed his form of address, saying, "Hello, Great-Grandpa."

"Alright, alright, it's better to meet by chance than to arrange a meeting. Since we've already met, let's eat together."

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaowu quickly looked at Feng Que and winked at him, saying, "What are you standing there for?! Say something!"

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que had a headache: How am I supposed to explain this? Would Xiao Xi be upset if I rejected her?

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu winked again: What if Xiaoxi finds out we're eating together?

Feng Que: No, my grandfather promised me he's not that kind of person.

Mu Shaowu: Can your grandfather really be trusted?

Feng Que: Of course!

Qin Luan, standing opposite them: ...Wait, what are you two doing?

Why are you exchanging glances?

"No, Grandpa, maybe not." A crisp voice suddenly rang out.

Mu Shaowu looked down and saw Ye Qingxi looking up at Grandpa Feng. "Grandpa, I'm here to treat you today. We've already ordered our dishes, so let's eat ours instead, otherwise it'll be a waste."

Moreover, his father came today to discuss business, and if they eat at two separate tables, it will be difficult to discuss business.

"We can have them bring it over here, and we can eat it together," said Grandpa Feng. "That way, nothing will go to waste."

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaowu looked at Feng Que again: "Look at your grandfather! Can he really be trusted?!"

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que could only bite the bullet and say: Didn't he also not say anything?

Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?

Mu Shaowu: But his attitude is too attentive.

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que smiled: Isn't it because Xiao Xi is so cute? Xiao Xi is so adorable, who wouldn't be eager to please her?

Mu Shaowu: That's true.

Feng Que quickly wiped the sweat from his brow: Grandpa, that's enough. Can't you see your future granddaughter-in-law is about to explode?

Ye Qingxi thought for a moment, then raised her hand and beckoned to Old Master Feng, signaling him to bow.

Grandpa Feng asked curiously: What's going on? Are they trying to whisper something to him?

Grandpa Feng immediately bent his unyielding spirit.

Ye Qingxi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Great-Grandpa, if we come over to eat with you, my brother is a child and he's not familiar with you and Uncle Feng, so he'll definitely feel uncomfortable. My aunt and brother flew all the way from far away to see me, and I want to thank them, so I wanted to invite them to dinner. I hope they can enjoy their meal happily and freely, instead of feeling uncomfortable, so let's eat separately."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Feng lowered his eyes to look at the child in front of him.

Ye Qingxi smiled shyly at him, "Is it okay?"

What else could Old Master Feng say?

Grandpa Feng could only agree, "Okay."

"Thank you, Great-Grandpa." Ye Qingxi smiled even more broadly.

Grandpa Feng looked at him, raised his hand to pat his head, but heard his grandson cough.

Grandpa Feng: ...

Why are you coughing?!

Grandpa Feng glared at his grandson. "I'm almost eighty years old, can't I even pat a six-year-old's head to show affection?!"

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que thought to himself that he certainly had no objection, but wouldn't that mean Mu Shaowu was about to give him a live performance of fainting on the spot?

Grandpa, you wouldn't want to see your future granddaughter-in-law faint in front of you, would you?

Grandpa Feng turned his head speechlessly and looked at his future great-grandson. His great-grandson was the cutest. Not only was he cute in appearance, but he also spoke in a cute way. Even though he was still a child himself, he said that his brother was a child. What, wasn't he a child?

But they are quite thoughtful.

He also knew his brother might feel awkward, so he made him bend down and whisper to him, clearly not wanting his brother standing next to him to hear, feeling embarrassed.

Excellent! Grandpa Feng is very satisfied!

She is a grateful, thoughtful, and considerate child!

His satisfaction reminded him of the gift he had bought for Ye Qingxi.

He had originally planned to give Mu Shaowu the gift along with the gift he had given him, so that he could take it back.

Now that Ye Qingxi is right in front of him, he can naturally hand her over to his future great-grandson himself.

"Wait a moment," said Old Master Feng.

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

Ye Qingxi was somewhat puzzled. What were they waiting for?

Mu Shaowu was even more puzzled than him: Waiting for what?

He glared at Feng Que: What's there to wait for?!

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que is exhausted: He also wanted to ask his grandfather, what is there left to wait for?

Before long, they all knew the answer.

Grandpa Feng brought over a bag. "I heard before that you have a child, Shaowu. My friend gave me some toys for children. We don't have any children, so there's no point in keeping them. I just brought them over."

After Grandpa Feng finished speaking, he wanted to give it to Ye Qingxi.

But after the bags were all shipped out by express delivery, I saw Qin Cheng again.

After all, he is Mu Shaowu's child, and the child came specifically to see Ye Qingxi. If he only leaves Ye Qingxi and leaves Qin Cheng standing alone, it would be a bit awkward.

Ye Qingxi even made Qin Cheng bend down to talk to him so as not to embarrass him, which shows that Ye Qingxi cares about this brother very much.

Therefore, Grandpa Feng reached into the bag and took out the gift.

He gave one to Ye Qingxi, and he also gave one to Qin Cheng.

However, Ye Qingxi received only more expensive and better items.

However, there were five gifts in the gift bag, which was an odd number.

Seeing this, Old Master Feng simply took off the jade pendant bracelet he had recently bought, wanting to give it to Qin Cheng—that way, he would have three.

But when he gave it away, he felt that this gift, which he had worn himself, was more intimately associated with his great-grandson.

Therefore, he gave the bracelet to Ye Qingxi and the last gift in the bag to Qin Cheng.

Ye Qingxi was caught off guard by receiving three gifts from the white-bearded old man in front of her, and quickly refused, saying, "Great-Grandpa, I can't accept them."

"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to do so. What if he takes the bribe and then asks his father, the lead actor, to do more work without paying more?"

Qin Cheng also refused, saying, "I can't accept it either."

"It's alright," Old Master Feng said with a smile. "They're worthless, you can keep them for fun."

Ye Qingxi: ...Do you think I'm stupid?!

The jade pendant on your bracelet alone isn't cheap!

Ye Qingxi looked to her father for help.

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu could only say, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it?" Grandpa Feng was completely oblivious. "It's normal for elders to give gifts to younger people. Even your father gave Xiao Que a gift when he met him back then."

Mu Shaowu: That was all over when he was a month old!

Mu Shaowu looked at Feng Que, signaling him to persuade his grandfather.

Phoenix Palace: ...

Feng Que could only pull his grandfather aside, "Isn't this a bit too obvious?"

Feng Que advised, "Why don't we just give up?"

Grandpa Feng: ? ? ? ?

Grandpa Feng thought he was truly hopeless!

"Do you still want to be with Mu Shaowu?!" Old Master Feng said in a low voice, "Xiao Xi's refusal is out of politeness, while Shaowu's refusal is out of courtesy."

“As the great-grandfather, it’s the first time I’m meeting my great-grandson, so I definitely have to give him a gift. Otherwise, Shaowu will think that we don’t value him or his son.”

“I’ve already told you, being a stepfather is tough, that’s why you have to put in so much effort to get along with the child. You still want to ‘forget it’? Believe me or not, if you tell me now, I’ll go and get the things back. Even if Shao Wu doesn’t say anything, he’ll still feel resentful, and your relationship will be even less stable. Besides, what do you ever get back something you’ve given away?! I, Feng Ming, would never do such a thing.”

Feng Que: That seems to make sense.

"No!" Feng Que suddenly realized, "They're fake! He doesn't need to be Ye Qingxi's stepfather at all!"
