Chapter 13: The Father Can Be Honored by His Son
The dream that the system showed Ji Xia only contained the part about Ji Xia.
In his dream, Ji Xia was locked up by the scumbags after arriving in Kyoto. He had no idea what was happening in the outside world, nor did he know the fate of others.
Therefore, he didn't know what the relationship between Fu Su, Chen Chaofei and Xu Ancheng was, and what they were talking about.
Perhaps it was because he had been looking at her for too long, and Ji Xia's gaze was too undisguised, Chen Chaofei noticed it and suddenly turned his head to look over.
Ji Xia was caught off guard when his eyes met hers. Startled, she hurriedly looked away and found a seat. The waiter immediately followed and handed him the menu.
Ji Xia flipped through two pages casually, his peripheral vision looking over there. When he found that Chen Chaofei was not looking at him, he breathed a sigh of relief and his gaze fell on the menu.
Then, the tips of his ears turned red.
The cheapest cup of coffee costs over 200 yuan!!
Ji Xia's goal had already been declared bankrupt when he met Chen Chaofei. Chen Chaofei was a very smart man, and Ji Xia didn't want him to know his goal to avoid any complications.
The deal was not done, and he didn't want to spend any money at all. He wanted to leave, but the waitress stood by with a smile waiting for his order, which made him feel embarrassed and unable to leave.
"Two cappuccinos, please."
Butler Xu spoke softly, and after taking the order, he handed the menu back to the waiter. Ji Xia also handed the menu back a little awkwardly.
Butler Xu said, "Master Ji, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Seeing that you were hesitant, I ordered a cappuccino for you."
Ji Xia was a little embarrassed and lowered her voice and said, "Grandpa Xu, it's okay. I just think coffee is too expensive."
Butler Xu said, "Young Master is treating us, so Young Master Ji doesn't need to worry about the price."
Ji Xia: “Ah?”
The smile on Butler Xu's face deepened a little, but he didn't mean to explain. Instead, he asked, "Master Ji, do you know Assistant Chen?" Although it was clearly a question, he used a statement tone.
Ji Xia originally wanted to ask why Mr. Fu had to pay for the coffee they ordered, but was interrupted by Butler Xu's question. She forgot what she wanted to ask and nodded, replying, "I know him. He was the one who brought me to the villa."
Butler Xu raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the three people who were talking harmoniously over there. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, but that fluctuation was as fleeting as a flash of light, and he turned back into the amiable old butler.
He asked, "Master Ji, do you know who asked Assistant Chen to take you to the villa? And why did they ask him to take you to the villa?"
Ji Xia recalled that Chen Chaofei did not tell him the reason, he shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Butler Xu seemed to have guessed this long ago and said, "Chen Chaofei is acting on orders from the young master's stepfather. He is looking for an Omega with a pheromone match of at least 95% with the young master to treat his susceptible period disorder."
Ji Xia: “So that’s how it is.”
What I thought in my heart was that Mr. Fu, my stepfather, is a pretty good one.
Butler Xu seemed to be able to read your mind. He asked, "Master Ji, do you think your stepfather is very kind and thinks so much of you?" He sneered, "If you didn't have such a strong dislike for Omegas, he would indeed be a good stepfather."
Ji Xia pursed her lips. It turned out that Mr. Fu also had a not-so-good family.
The waiter brought two cups of coffee. Butler Xu waited until he was far away before continuing, "The young master is in charge of the Fu family. People outside have to pay him respects when they see him, but the young master can't stop his stepfather from sending him Omegas, even though he is extremely disgusted and disgusted."
Ji Xia asked in confusion: "Why?"
Butler Xu: "Because of the young master's grandfather."
Ji Xia's pretty brows knitted together. "Are grandpa and stepfather in cahoots? Are they teaming up to bully Mr. Fu?"
Butler Xu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. It's just that the master hopes the young master can recover from his pheromone disorder as soon as possible and that he can carry on the family line as soon as possible. The Fu family is so large that it needs an heir. But the young master hates Omegas and refuses to accept their pheromone treatment. And for some reason, he explicitly told the master that he will never marry or have children. This led to a conflict between them, and the master acquiesced to Mr. Jian's gift of an Omega."
Ji Xia didn't know how to answer and could only say "Oh".
He didn't quite understand why Butler Xu suddenly told him this. After all, this was Mr. Fu's family affair.
Butler Xu: "If the young master's disorder can be cured, the master will definitely reward him handsomely. And if he can have a child, this child will not only inherit the Fu family, but also the entire Qiu family's fortune. He will be born with a silver spoon in his mouth in the true sense."
Ji Xia didn't think about helping to treat Alph's myosin disorder at all. He had finally managed to stay in the villa and didn't want to make Mr. Fu unhappy. What if he was kicked out again?
His attention fell on the second half of Butler Xu's sentence, and an envious look appeared on his face. He said, "Reincarnation is indeed a technical job."
Butler Xu: ………………
He was silent for a moment, then made his words clearer. "As long as you can bear the young master's child, no matter the identity of the Omega father, you will be honored by the father."
Ji Xia blurted out, "But Mr. Fu doesn't want to get married and have children. If that's the case, there's no way he can have a child."
Butler Xu: …………………………………
He took a sip of coffee and changed the subject, asking, "Master Ji, do you like children?"
Ji Xia blinked. The topic was a bit off topic, but he nodded and replied, "I like it."
Butler Xu nodded, but said nothing more. He picked up the coffee and drank it slowly.
The topic ended suddenly, but Ji Xia didn't care.
He then took a sip of coffee, and the strong bitter taste spread in his mouth, making him frown. This was his first time drinking coffee, and he couldn't understand why someone would be willing to spend hundreds of dollars to endure such bitterness.
But the money has been spent, no matter how bitter it is, he has to swallow it and absolutely cannot lose money!
Ji Xia finally finished his coffee with great effort, but he felt terrible. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Ancheng and the others stand up, as if preparing to leave. He immediately turned his head and faced the door with his back.
It wasn't until the three figures disappeared from the coffee shop entrance that Ji Xia wrinkled his nose, unhappy that the trip had been in vain. "Grandpa Xu, the battle failed today. Let's go back."
Butler Xu nodded and stood up.
At this time, a voice of "Welcome" was heard again at the door of the cafe.
Ji Xia stood up and just turned around, but her body froze in place, and her face suddenly turned very ugly. Standing in front of them was Chen Chaofei, who had returned.
Chen Chaofei hadn't expected to run into the country girl, Little O, here. Ever since they'd separated at the villa, he'd been itching to meet her. But because of Fu Yuan, he hadn't dared go near the villa. Now that he'd run into her, he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.
His eyes lingered wantonly and greedily on Little O, and he felt that Little O at this moment did not seem as attractive as she had been that night.
However, compared to the skinny little O when we first met, she was a little fatter, with a rosier complexion, and looked delicate and pretty. It seemed she was well-fed.
He curled his lips and said with a smile: "Baby, do you miss your brother? You came here specially to see your brother."
Ji Xia was shocked by his self-righteous remarks and retorted, "No. Please move aside, we need to go back."
After finally catching the person, who was outside, Chen Chaofei couldn't let Ji Xia go easily.
Although he was very wary of Fu Yuan, he knew that Mr. Jian would not want to see Fu Yuan have someone else around him. If a child was born, Mr. Jian and Fu Su would get nothing.
He took a step forward fearlessly and said, "Playing hard to get again? Okay, okay, brother will play with you."
As Chen Chaofei approached, Ji Xia smelled the unpleasant smell of ink, which made him frown. It was not until he felt the swelling and pain in the glands at the back of his neck that he realized it was the smell of Alpha benzoate.
He took a big step back, his body shaking with anger, clenched his fists, and raised his voice a few degrees: "Go away."
Chen Chaofei thought that the huffy little O was very cute, which really tickled his fancy and aroused his desire to abuse her.
He released more pheromones, trying to induce the Omega to go into heat here, and then take the person away directly.
Ji Xia felt very uncomfortable. He raised his foot and kicked Chen Chaofei's shin bone hard, trying to kick him away. However, the Omega's strength was not painful to the Alpha.
Chen Chaofei put on a wicked smile and was about to put his arm around Ji Xia's waist.
Ji Xia sensed his intention, bared her teeth, and was about to resist.
At that moment, a figure with straight shoulders and back flashed before Ji Xia. Butler Xu stood in front of Ji Xia, staring at Chen Chaofei with narrowed eyes. His kind voice turned several degrees colder. "Assistant Chen, please respect yourself."
Chen Chaofei had been focusing on Ji Xia the entire time, and only then did he notice Butler Xu. A look of surprise crossed his face, but he quickly subsided.
He didn't speak or move, but just looked at Butler Xu with a bad look.
Chen Chaofei knew very well that this steward Xu had been on the battlefield with Fu Yuan's grandfather and held a high military rank. Despite his kind appearance, he would be no match for him if a fight broke out.
But he hadn't expected that Butler Xu would actually follow Ji Xia. You know, after being assigned to Fu Yuan's side, he never looked at anyone except the master he served.
This forced him to re-evaluate the price he had to pay for taking risks to satisfy his desires.
After a moment, he stepped back, made way, and said, "Sorry, I was rude."
Butler Xu said, "I advise Assistant Chen to put aside those dirty thoughts, lest he end up in an irreparable end."
Butler Xu turned sideways to block Chen Chaofei and gestured with his hand that Ji Xia could leave.
After leaving the coffee shop, Ji Xia gave a thumbs-up and said, "Grandpa Xu, you were so handsome just now."
"Master Ji, thank you for the compliment."
The two men returned empty-handed and rode their electric scooters back to the villa.
After lunch, Ji Xia talked to Dr. Chen about what happened today. Dr. Chen said he was still investigating and asked Ji Xia to wait for news. Ji Xia then went to the small kitchen to make bread.
These days, whenever he has free time, he makes some and distributes it to the people working in the villa. It has received unanimous praise from everyone, which also makes Ji Xia more confident about setting up the stall.
Time flies and it's already night.
Ji Xia has always had a good sleep quality. She starts to feel sleepy after ten o'clock and falls asleep as soon as her head touches the pillow.
However, tonight, Ji Xia seemed to have been given stimulants. He tossed and turned in bed like a pancake until almost twelve o'clock, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Ji Xia suffered from insomnia.
The glands at the back of my neck still ache slightly.
Ji Xia raised her hand and touched it. It was a little painful and the gland seemed a little swollen.
He stood up and tried to look in the mirror, but no matter how he turned his head, he couldn't see anything. Finally, he gave up and lay back on the sofa.
Around one in the morning, Ji Xia was still wide awake. Feeling a little thirsty, he drifted downstairs like a ghost. At the first-floor stairwell, he saw Mr. Fu sitting on the sofa, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
There was only one floor lamp on in the living room, and Mr. Fu was sitting in the corner where the warm yellow light could not reach.
Some... Ji Xia couldn't think of an adjective, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it. He walked quickly to Fu Yuan.
Alpha opened his eyes and looked over, asking him why he wasn't sleeping yet.
Ji Xia said, "Today is magical. I am just so energetic that I can't sleep."
Fu Yuan: "Don't drink coffee next time."
"ah?"
Only then did Ji Xia realize the culprit and found out that he had spent more than two hundred yuan. Although it was not his money, he still felt bad.
Fu Yuan stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
Ji Xia called him over as if possessed by some strange force. "Mr. Fu."
Fu Yuan turned to look at him sideways and said nothing.
Ji Xia was a little embarrassed. Why did he call Mr. Fu?
But under the Alpha's sharp gaze, he paused, then said, "Can you do me a small favor?"
"Um?"
"My gland is hurting a little bit, can you help me see what's going on?"
This was the reason Ji Xia racked his brains to come up with.
