After dinner and cutting the cake, the adults sat together chatting. Lin Xi and Fu Jingyao sat together, while Ji Heng quietly peeled an orange by himself.
Having some fruit after a meal makes me happy.
These oranges are so addictive, no wonder my grandpa always keeps some on hand. I'll pack some to take home later.
Ji Mingshan glanced at him, then looked away. The more he looked at the silly boy, the angrier he became.
Zhang Wenxiu said, "Don't worry, Xiao Heng will find his own happiness. Jing Yao used to be such a cold person, but look at him now. He can't wait to tell the whole world that he's married and that Xi Xi is his wife."
Fu Xinya sighed, "Jingyao is just like my brother. It's a pity that my brother and sister-in-law passed away too early and couldn't see this scene."
Zhang Wenxiu looked out the window, "Your brother really loves Jingyao's mother to death..."
Shortly after his daughter-in-law gave birth to Jingyao, she passed away due to illness. His son was heartbroken for half a year before passing away with her.
Everyone said that the son couldn't bear to see his daughter-in-law all alone in the underworld, so he went down to keep her company.
Their relationship was a beautiful story, but it's a pity that Jingyao lost his parents at such a young age.
He was exceptionally talented from a young age, but he never revealed his true feelings and always maintained a cold demeanor.
Zhang Wenxiu was worried that her grandson would develop health problems from being cooped up, but unexpectedly, her granddaughter-in-law changed everything.
Xixi is the lucky star of the Fu family.
Fu Jianhua patted her on the back, "We agreed not to get involved in the children's affairs, and we won't mention it again. We're going on a trip to relax the day after tomorrow, and Jingyao will pay for everything. I haven't given him his birthday present yet."
Zhang Wenxiu gently tapped his forehead, "Xixi gave two, which means Jingyao gave one too. How can you have the nerve to ask Jingyao to pay for them? You, as a grandfather, are just trying to screw over your grandson."
Fu Jianhua said nonchalantly, "It's alright, Jingyao has money."
Ji Zheng said, "Grandpa, I'll pay for this trip."
Fu Jianhua waved his hand, "No need, Jingyao is not short of money, he is very rich."
Ji Zheng smiled, "Grandchildren are the same; we can't let Brother Jingyao pay for them every year. He just got married this year, and that's when he needs money."
“I just took over the Ji family business, I’ll handle it.”
Ji Mingshan and Fu Xinya chimed in, "Xiao Zheng is out; she's now the president of Ji's Group."
Fu Jianhua chuckled, "Since you've put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony."
Xiao Zheng is much more confident than before after leaving He Ting.
That's great. Everyone is moving in a positive direction, except for Ji Heng.
The four of them exchanged a few more words, and then Ji Mingshan said goodbye to Fu Xinya, "Dad, Mom, we're going back now."
Fu Jianhua waved, "Okay, see you later."
Ji Heng held up an orange. "It's still early, why don't we sit for a while longer?"
Ji Mingshan dragged him out, "Let's go, don't disturb your grandparents."
"Hey, wait a minute," Ji Heng called out. "Butler Liu, pack some oranges for me to take back."
Ji Mingshan grabbed his ear, "Eating and taking things, are you short of oranges at home?"
"Dad, my ear! It hurts!"
The noisy sounds subsided, and the four members of the Ji family left.
Lin Xi and Fu Jing sat for a while, then got up and went upstairs to sleep.
Fu Jianhua, Zhang Wenxiu, Butler Liu, and Aunt Wu followed closely behind, all wearing the same smile.
Lin Xi quickly ran inside, but Fu Jingyao blocked the doorway, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma, don't follow her, you'll scare Xi Xi."
The two of them went into the same room without thinking. Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu quickly left, saying, "Go to sleep, everyone go to sleep."
Aunt Wu asked quietly, "Butler Liu, are you ready?"
Butler Liu gave an OK sign. "I'll handle it, don't worry. You're injured, go to sleep. I'll keep watch, I guarantee not even a fly will get out."
"Tonight, hehehe~~"
The room was still empty, with a two-meter-wide bed, a quilt, a pillow, a change of clothes and a bath towel, and nothing else.
This was the third time; Lin Xi was already used to it.
At the Imperial Garden, she slept with Fu Jingyao in her arms for several nights, lying in the same bed without any emotional fluctuation.
Fu Jingyao stood by the door. "Xixi, go take a shower first."
"good."
Lin Xi grabbed her pajamas and took a shower in ten minutes. She wasn't used to taking a shower at her grandparents' house; she felt like she was being spied on.
She looked at the man over there and said, "I'm done washing up, you can go now."
Fu Jingyao walked into the bathroom without looking to the side.
Lin Xi threw off the covers and jumped onto the bed.
Huh? The bed seems to have been changed; it's so bouncy and springy, something's not right.
She pulled back the sheet and saw that it was filled with water underneath—a large waterbed.
Lin Xi kicked the bed board and bounced back and forth three times.
Wow, this looks fun.
Why did Butler Liu change to this kind of bed? Is it good for your health to sleep on it? Is it more comfortable?
She prefers a firmer bed and doesn't feel safe sleeping on the water.
Lin Xi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She stared blankly at the white ceiling above her head and quietly waited for Fu Jingyao to come out.
Upon closer inspection, the ceiling lights have also been changed to a golden rose shape.
Butler Liu is too idle; he still has the mind to do these things on Grandpa's birthday.
The bathroom door opened, and Fu Jingyao approached step by step, lifting the blanket and lying down on the other side.
As soon as he lay down, he felt something was very wrong.
Lin Xi turned over to face him. "You also noticed something was wrong. It bounces around like the QQ candy we used to eat when we were kids."
"Butler Liu has a childlike heart; he specially got this bed to remind us of our wonderful childhood memories."
Her every movement caused the entire bed to shake.
A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Jingyao's eyes.
This... could it be one of those beds?
Butler Liu's head is filled with all sorts of random knowledge, which is why he did such a thing.
