Chapter 260, Part 2
260:
When Feng Que arrived at the film set the next morning, she ran into Mu Shaowu, who smiled at her with a very charming smile.
Phoenix Palace: ? ? ?
"What are you doing...?"
Why does it feel like there's something fishy going on?
"Nothing~" Mu Shaowu looked at him teasingly, "I just think your footwork is pretty good."
"Footwork?"
"Playing soccer~"
Feng Que: ...Why bring this up all of a sudden?
"It's alright," he said modestly.
Mu Shaowu sighed, "What a pity, the football skills are still there, only the beauty has faded."
Feng Que: Huh? ???
“You were quite cute when you were little,” Mu Shaowu smiled at him.
Phoenix Palace: ? ? ?
"When I was a child?"
“Yes.” Mu Shaowu said, picking up his phone, and saw on the screen Feng Que turning around with a sweet smile.
Phoenix Palace: !!!
"Where did you come from?!"
Why are his childhood photos on Mu Shaowu's phone?!
"You were so cute when you were little, how come you're not cute at all now?" Mu Shaowu glanced at his phone and deliberately clicked his tongue. "It's really disappointing. I wish you were this pretty and delicate now~"
Phoenix Palace: ...
Feng Que reached out and tried to snatch his phone.
Mu Shaowu quickly dodged.
"What are you doing? This is my private property. If you try to take it again, I'll sue you for violating my property rights."
Phoenix Palace: ...
"Delete the photos for me."
"I won't~" Mu Shaowu looked at him and said, word by word.
Feng Que took a step forward, and Mu Shaowu followed suit and stepped backward. However, he accidentally stepped on a small prop ball used for filming and fell backward.
Feng Que quickly reached out and put her arm around his waist, pulling him back into her arms.
"Are you alright?" Feng Que asked with concern.
Mu Shaowu shook his head.
"Thank you," he said to Feng Que.
"No..." Feng Que was about to say no thanks when he heard a cough from not far away.
Feng Que turned around and saw Zeng Chong looking at him and his hand across Mu Shaowu's waist with a subtle expression.
Ye Qingxi, who was standing next to him, quickly raised her two small hands and covered her eyes after he looked over.
"I didn't see anything," Ye Qingxi said obediently.
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Mu Shaowu pushed Feng Que away.
"Are you awake?"
Ye Qingxi is young and gets sleepy easily because he gets up early. He fell asleep in the car on the way here.
Mu Shaowu felt sorry for him, so he didn't call him after arriving at the film set, and let Zeng Chong stay with him in the car.
He arrived at the film set first with his assistant.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxi witnessed this misunderstanding.
"Your Uncle Feng was trying to snatch Dad's phone. When Dad dodged, he stepped on something and almost fell, so your Uncle Feng grabbed him in an emergency," Mu Shaowu explained as he walked up to him.
Ye Qingxi slowly slid her hand down, revealing her beautiful, clear eyes. "I didn't say anything~"
Mu Shaowu: ...You didn't say anything, but the way you covered your eyes said it all!
"It's not what you think anyway."
Ye Qingxi tilted her head and teased Mu Shaowu, "What do you mean?"
He asked innocently, "What does Dad think I'm thinking?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu simply couldn't do anything about him.
He raised his hand and poked Ye Qingxi's head.
Ye Qingxi smiled and stopped teasing him, saying, "I understand."
Mu Shaowu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But why did Uncle Feng snatch your phone, Dad?" Ye Qingxi asked curiously.
Mu Shaowu burst into laughter, "Of course it's because..."
Feng Que rushed over and grabbed his arm, "Because your dad can't use his phone while he's acting."
"Teacher Mu, this way please. Let me tell you about the upcoming filming."
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu had no choice but to tell him a cruel truth: "Xiao Xi has already seen it."
Phoenix Palace: ? ? ? !!!
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
"What?"
What? He'd already seen it?
"The video you sent me yesterday," Mu Shaowu said.
"Oh~" So that's what it is.
"Uncle Feng, you were so cute when you were little, like a porcelain doll, so beautiful~" Ye Qingxi looked up at Feng Que.
Phoenix Palace: ...
Zeng Chong, standing to the side: Director Feng? A doll?
A doll that's almost 1.9 meters tall?
Zeng Chong couldn't help but silently observe Director Feng in front of him, thinking that his daughter Xiao Xi might have some misunderstanding about dolls.
"How did Xiao Xi find out?" Feng Que leaned close to Mu Shaowu's ear, letting his voice drift out.
“Because he originally got this video from your grandfather,” Mu Shaowu replied.
Phoenix Palace: ...
He then asked why Mu Shaowu had photos of him as a child!
It turns out the root of the problem lies with his grandfather!
The Phoenix Palace is simply beyond help.
"You are not allowed to transfer it to anyone else."
Mu Shaowu turned to look at him, "But he's really cute~"
"Keep it safe, it's so cute!"
Mu Shaowu: "...Then I'm afraid I'll have nightmares."
Phoenix Palace: ? ? ?
"Now you're not saying it's cute anymore?!"
"You actually took it seriously just as a polite remark? Director Feng, you're so naive!"
Phoenix Palace: ...
Ye Qingxi: ...Is there anything he can't hear?
Why don't you say it out loud!
Unable to argue with Mu Shaowu, Feng Que had no choice but to leave.
He texted his grandfather: "Grandpa, why did you send videos of me when I was little to someone else?"
Grandpa Feng replied quickly: "Xiao Xi isn't just anyone."
Feng Que: ...I forgot, this is his grandfather's view of his future son.
Grandpa Feng: [Besides, I didn't do it on purpose. I was looking for videos of Aristotle for Xiaoxi, and he saw them, wanted to watch them, and then asked me if I could send them to him. Could I say no?]
Feng Que: ...Then it's really hard to refuse.
However, Feng Que was somewhat surprised that his grandfather had kept the video of him from so long ago. Over the years, mobile phones have been constantly updated and replaced, and his grandfather had changed his phone several times. Yet, this video that he had taken when he was young was still on his grandfather's phone.
In this respect, Feng Que inevitably felt a softness and warmth in his heart.
He was just about to send a WeChat message saying he would go home on New Year's Eve when he saw a new message from Grandpa Feng.
Grandpa Feng: [Your parents are back. It's rare for them to come back to China, and Shaowu happens to be here too. It wouldn't be right for them not to see him, so please tell Shaowu that your parents might invite him to dinner in the next couple of days.]
Phoenix Palace: !!!
Feng Que: [My parents are back?!]
So early?!
Grandpa Feng: [Oh, so you have to tell your parents about your relationship even though you're so far away? Why didn't they inform you before they came back to China? Tsk, that's really something.]
Phoenix Palace: ...
Feng Que: [I understand. I'll talk to him about it in a bit.]
He told Mu Shaowu about it after the morning's filming ended.
Mu Shaowu already knew. "Xiao Xi told me last night."
At that time, he guessed that Feng's parents might want to see him.
Although we had video chatted before, it wasn't face-to-face. It's rare for Feng's parents to come back to China, and if we don't see them now, who knows when the next time will be?
"What do you think?" Feng Que asked.
“Sure,” Mu Shaowu readily agreed. “Just like last time, without Xiao Xi, just you and me.”
"OK."
Sure enough, a day later, Feng's parents formally told Feng Que that they wanted to meet Mu Shaowu and have a meal with him.
When Grandpa Feng saw that they were going to eat, he figured that Mu Shaowu would definitely not let Ye Qingxi go, so Ye Qingxi would be all alone on the set.
So he sent Ye Qingxi a picture of Aristotle squatting by the door, and said: "[Aristotle misses you.]"
Ye Qingxi burst out laughing.
Aristotle only met him once, so why would he miss him?
He believed that someone else was the one who was thinking of him.
However, his father is going to meet with Uncle Feng and the production company's representatives tomorrow, so he happens to have time.
"Dad, Grandpa Feng invited me to his house tomorrow to play with his dog. Can I go?"
Mu Shaowu: ...This is like splitting up into two groups, one eating with him and the other eating with his son.
If he didn't want Ye Qingxi to know that he was now pretending to be Feng Que's boyfriend, they could have eaten together, since they all knew each other anyway.
"Do you want to go?" Mu Shaowu asked.
Ye Qingxi nodded. Eating was secondary; her main goal was to play with the puppy.
Okay, he admits he wants to eat too~
The cook in Grandpa Feng's house is quite good at cooking!
"Then let's go," Mu Shaowu said without stopping him.
"Thank you, Dad. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"It's okay." Mu Shaowu pinched his cheek. "If you like dogs, you can play with them a little longer."
Anyway, as long as Grandpa Feng doesn't let it slip, his son can freely pet the dog; if he does, he'll be fired on the spot.
There was no loss.
“Then I’ll take pictures and videos of the dog for you, Dad,” Ye Qingxi said obediently.
"Okay." Mu Shaowu patted his head. "When Dad comes back, he'll watch your videos."
"Mm," Ye Qingxi replied.
Feng's parents had made an appointment with Mu Shaowu, and before going to bed that night, they asked her father again, "Dad, are you sure you're not going tomorrow?"
"I won't go," Old Master Feng refused. "I've already met with Shao Wu."
"But you're free tomorrow anyway, so why don't we go see him again?"
“That’s right,” Feng’s mother added, “Xiao Que said that we must ask you to see if you want to come.”
Upon hearing this, Old Master Feng looked at them and said smugly, "Who said I'm free tomorrow? I have an appointment with someone."
"Who is it?" Feng's father asked in confusion.
Old Master Feng: "What, you're still planning to approve it?"
Phoenix's father: ...
Feng's father felt that since returning to China, his father's appetite had improved, and even his teeth had evolved, becoming sharp-tongued and witty.
"Alright, you two can go," said Grandpa Feng. "If I go too, the three of us will go together. People who don't know us will think we're having a trial. Shao Wu and Xiao Que are just dating, not engaged yet. If too many of us go, it will only put pressure on Shao Wu. There's no need for that."
“Okay,” said the father.
After returning to his room, he called his son and said, "Your grandfather said he's not going; he has an appointment."
Feng Que: This time he invited the old man several times, but the old man refused to go. We can't bring this up again!
"But who has such a big influence that they could make the old man give up meeting his future granddaughter-in-law? Who is that big shot?" Feng Que asked in confusion.
"Okay, see you tomorrow night."
"Um."
The next evening, as soon as Mu Shaowu left, the car that was supposed to pick up Ye Qingxi arrived.
This time, Grandpa Feng came to pick him up in person.
Ye Qingxi smiled when she saw him.
"Look who this is!" Old Master Feng stepped aside, and instantly, a large white dog's head appeared in front of Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi exclaimed in delight, "Aristotle!"
Aristotle was so excited that he almost pounced on him.
Ye Qingxi quickly hugged it.
Grandpa Feng smiled and said, "Knowing you wanted to see it, my great-grandfather brought it along as well."
"Thank you, Great-Grandpa," Ye Qingxi said happily.
He patted Aristotle's dog head, then took off his small backpack, opened it, and said, "Great-Grandpa, I brought you a gift."
"A gift?" Old Master Feng was surprised. He had a gift?!
Ye Qingxi nodded and took out a sports and health watch from her backpack.
"I bought this watch for my grandfather before, and it worked very well," Ye Qingxi said. "It can monitor sleep quality, blood pressure, and many other health conditions. I'm giving it to your great-grandfather, hoping you'll be healthy and live a long and healthy life!"
Grandpa Feng looked to be in his seventies or eighties, so Ye Qingxi didn't say he would live to be a hundred.
Feng Que is not married or has children yet. As an elder, Grandpa Feng certainly hopes to see his beloved grandson find someone he likes and have a happy family. If possible, he probably also wants to see Feng Que's children grow up, get married, and have their own little family.
In that case, a hundred years old might not be enough for him, so Ye Qingxi thoughtfully avoided that number.
Looking at his bright and cheerful little face and listening to his innocent childish voice, Grandpa Feng felt deeply moved.
How old is he? How long have we known each other? Yet he's willing to spend money to buy me gifts, and not even the kind that are flashy and impractical.
And when it was sent out, they deliberately avoided celebrating his 100th birthday.
He is truly exceptionally thoughtful and considerate for his age.
Let alone six years old, even some twenty-six-year-olds can't do these things.
At that moment, Grandpa Feng felt that his grandson was quite lucky.
It's amazing that I have such a gentle and loving child.
Even if he gave birth to a child himself, he might not be able to produce one like this.
It's either that Mu Shaowu didn't want Ye Qingxi to know he was in a relationship before their relationship was stable, or that if it were him, with such an obedient, cute, and lovable son, he wouldn't want to share him with anyone else, turning Ye Qingxi from someone he owned alone into someone he shared with someone else.
Feng Que, you have to work harder!
