Chapter 291, Part 291
291:
Mu Shaowu hung up the phone and waited a while longer before Ye Qingxi finished school.
He didn't pretend today, so he didn't get out of the car and waited for Ye Qingxi to come to his car.
Ye Qingxi spotted his car immediately, said goodbye to Pei Liang and the others, and ran over.
"Dad." Ye Qingxi opened the car door and got in.
Mu Shaowu looked at him and gently rubbed his little face.
While waiting for Ye Qingxi to get out of school, Mu Shaowu even thought about whether or not to tell Ye Qingxi about his relationship with Feng Que.
But in the end, he decided not to say anything.
It's not that I want to hide it from him, it's just that the situation is quite complicated right now. He and Feng Que are still friends, and their relationship hasn't really changed. So if I tell him, Ye Qingxi might not understand even more.
Mu Shaowu thought he could wait until he wanted to be in a relationship before telling Ye Qingxi.
If Ye Qingxi is willing, he will allow Feng Que to pursue him; if Ye Qingxi is not willing, he will respect her wishes and let Feng Que find someone else.
Thinking of this, Mu Shaowu sent a WeChat message to Feng Que after returning home: "I forgot to tell you, if Xiao Xi doesn't agree to us being together, then I might not be able to reciprocate your feelings."
Mu Shaowu: [In this situation, are you sure you want to wait?]
Mu Shaowu waited for a while, but no WeChat message came back.
"Am I thinking?" he pondered.
Yes, we should think about this carefully, otherwise we might end up with nothing and have waited in vain.
Mu Shaowu put his phone aside and got busy with other work.
But Feng Que didn't reply to him until Old Master Feng came for dinner.
Mu Shaowu: ...
This is taking way too long to think about!
Is it really that hard to think of?!
It wasn't until 9 p.m. that Mu Shaowu received a response from Feng Que.
He didn't send a message, but called instead.
"Sorry, I was sleeping." Feng Que's voice was clearly muffled, as if he had just woken up.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
"You slept for so long?"
"Hmm." Feng Que was a little embarrassed. "I didn't sleep for a day and a night before I came to see you. At that time, I didn't feel tired at all, but after seeing you, my tense nerves relaxed and I fell asleep."
Mu Shaowu nodded, thinking to himself that it was no wonder he had arrived here around 10 o'clock.
They probably flew here overnight.
“I’m sure,” Feng Que replied. “Xiao Xi is your child, the most important person to you. If he can’t accept me, and you give me up because of it, I can understand.”
“But,” Feng Que smiled, “I don’t think so.”
He said, "Xiao Xi loves you very much, more than anyone else. So he would definitely hope that your life will always be full of love. Therefore, he would not refuse to have another person love you. He would only be happy about it because in his heart, his father is the best person in the world and deserves to receive a lot of love and encounter every kind of sincere affection."
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu thought to himself, "He really is a director; where does he get all these sweet nothings from?!"
Are you sure you just woke up?
Feng Que nodded. "I just woke up and saw your message, so I called you."
"Then I think your thinking is quite clear."
"I'll take that as a compliment," Feng Que chuckled.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu was a little embarrassed by his laughter and hurriedly said, "I'm hanging up."
He put down his phone, thinking to himself that one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure the worth of a person's worth.
The Phoenix Palace of today is not the same as the Phoenix Palace of the past!
Now that Feng Que is back, he's thinking of inviting Ye Qingxi to dinner so he can formally apologize and meet with her.
He sent Ye Qingxi a WeChat message: "Is there anything you'd like to eat lately? I'll treat you to a meal."
Ye Qingxi asked with delight: "Uncle Feng, are you done with your work?"
"Hmm," Feng Que replied.
But I'm not done yet, Ye Qingxi thought to herself.
"Why don't you come to my house for dinner?" Ye Qingxi invited him. "You can have dinner with your grandfather too."
Feng Que doesn't think this is a good idea, does he?
Who goes to someone else's house to freeload a meal?
Moreover, wouldn't this make Mu Shaowu feel that he is pressing him step by step?
Feng Que: [Let's forget it. It doesn't feel right for both my grandson and I to eat at your house.]
Seeing his response, Ye Qingxi didn't press him further, but simply said, "I'm having dinner at home tomorrow, and I'm taking your grandfather out this weekend. The earliest I can go is Monday."
"Then let's do it this weekend," Feng Que said. "I'll go with you to take him out, and I'll treat you to dinner. Or, if you think Monday would be better, that's fine too."
"Then let's do it this weekend." Ye Qingxi replied quickly.
After all, he and Grandpa Feng are of different ages, one young and one old. Although he brought Uncle Li and Uncle Zhuo along, from Grandpa Feng's perspective, he would definitely prefer his own grandson to be by his side.
There was no such option before, but now that there is, Ye Qingxi almost didn't hesitate. It would make the old man happy and provide him with energy. No matter how you look at it, it couldn't be better.
"Okay," Feng Que replied.
Ye Qingxi looked at his reply, left her desk, and ran to Mu Shaowu's side. "Dad, Uncle Feng is back. He's going out with me and Great-Grandpa Feng this weekend. I just wanted to let you know."
"Okay," Mu Shaowu replied. "Then you should tell him to do more work so he doesn't overwork himself."
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "Yes, I know."
On Friday afternoon, Grandpa Feng suggested that he also go to the school gate to pick up Ye Qingxi.
He finally had a great-grandson and now wants to experience the joy of welcoming a great-grandchild in old age.
Mu Shaowu naturally had no objections.
Ye Qingxi was pleasantly surprised to hear that Grandpa Feng was coming to pick him up.
He couldn't help but share with his friends, "My great-grandfather is coming to pick me up today."
"Great-grandfather?" Kang Cong was a little confused.
“It’s the same as the ‘godfather’ and ‘godmother’s’ names,” Zhong Yan explained.
Kang Cong nodded, then asked curiously, "When did you get a great-grandfather?"
"Just a few days ago," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
"Does your great-grandfather look good?" Zhong Yan is always most concerned about appearance.
Ye Qingxi nodded. Even among old men, Grandpa Feng's appearance was quite impressive.
"And he also has a super cute dog."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yan's eyes lit up instantly. "What kind?"
Ye Qingxi opened her smartwatch and found the videos and photos for him.
Kang Cong and Pei Liang immediately leaned their little heads in as well.
"So cool!" Kang Cong exclaimed. "So big!"
"So cute," Zhong Yan exclaimed.
"It's not bad," Pei Liang said reservedly.
"Will your great-grandfather bring it with him?" Zhong Yan asked.
Ye Qingxi: "...I don't know about that."
"It's okay, we'll find out after school," Zhong Yan said excitedly.
Therefore, as soon as school was over, the three of them dragged Ye Qingxi out the door.
Looking at their excitement at seeing their little dog friend, Ye Qingxi thought to herself, "What if Grandpa Feng didn't bring Aristotle with him?"
However, it turns out that Grandpa Feng really understands children.
Mu Shaowu looked at the large dog on the back seat of his car and asked in surprise, "Why did you bring it along too?"
Grandpa Feng patted the dog's head and laughed, "An old man like me showing up here can't bring any glory to Xiao Xi, but Aristotle is different. He's so handsome. When he stands there, everyone will take a second look. In the future, there will definitely be people who envy our Xiao Xi."
Mu Shaowu chuckled, thinking that people always say "old people are like children," and that Old Master Feng's current mentality was indeed very close to that of a child.
When the school bell rang, the school gates opened.
Grandpa Feng then put a muzzle on Aristotle and led him out of the car.
Kang Cong spotted a large white dog from afar and exclaimed excitedly, "Is that Xiao Xi?"
Ye Qingxi nodded. Grandpa Feng had actually brought Aristotle with him.
The group immediately took off running.
When Aristotle saw Ye Qingxi, he wanted to run towards him, but Xiao Zhuo held onto the leash tightly.
It sensed Xiao Zhuo's strength and had no choice but to sit obediently in place. Then, after Ye Qingxi came over, it rubbed its head against his head in a wronged manner, wanting to lick him.
"So cute," Zhong Yan exclaimed.
Ye Qingxi smiled and pressed Aristotle's dog head down.
He introduced them to Grandpa Feng, saying, "Great-Grandpa, these are my good friends, Zhong Yan, Kang Cong, and Pei Liang."
Grandpa Feng smiled and nodded, "Hello."
“This is my great-great-grandfather,” Ye Qingxi said, turning back to her friends.
“This is Aristotle.” He patted Aristotle’s head.
"Hello, Great-Grandpa," Kang Cong and the others said politely.
"Great-grandfather." Seeing Ye Qingxi rubbing Aristotle's dog's head, Zhong Yan also wanted to pet it. "Can I pet your dog?"
"Sure," Old Master Feng said with a smile.
Zhong Yan then reached out to touch it.
Pei Liang and Kang Cong also silently extended their hands.
Aristotle rubbed against each outstretched hand, making the four children laugh continuously.
The children nearby watched and wanted to go over and play with such a beautiful big dog, but unfortunately, they didn't recognize it and could only leave with regret.
A classmate of Ye Qingxi happened to pass by and exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Qingxi, is this your dog? It's so beautiful!"
“It was my great-grandfather’s dog.”
"Great-grandfather? I only have a grandfather."
“Great-grandfather is grandfather’s father, and he’s older than grandfather,” Pei Liang explained.
The classmate nodded. "Then you must have a lot of people who are nice to you?"
His grandfather was especially good to him. His father said it was because of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. But his great-grandfather was his grandfather's father. If he were still alive, he would definitely treat him even better.
Ye Qingxi smiled, and nodded shyly but without hesitation.
He does indeed have many people who are kind to him.
"I knew it," the classmate said smugly. Sure enough, he was right.
"Then I'll be going now."
"Goodbye," Ye Qingxi said.
"goodbye."
Before leaving, he secretly touched Aristotle's hand. Hehe, he got to touch him too!
Pei Liang and his friends played with Aristotle for a while, then left with their families.
Ye Qingxi and Grandpa Feng then took Aristotle back to the car.
“Dad,” he said happily, looking at Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu patted his head, and together with his son, they rode in Old Master Feng's car home.
On the other side, after returning home, Zhong Yan's mother felt that Ye Qingxi's great-great-grandfather, whom she had met that day, looked somewhat familiar.
She finally remembered it while she was eating.
"Is that Old Master Feng?!"
"What?" Grandpa Zhong asked in confusion.
"Xiao Xi has a godfather. I saw him when I went to pick up Xiao Yan today. He looked familiar, but I couldn't remember him until just now. It seems like I met him with my parents when I went to the United States before."
"You mean Fengming?"
Zhong Yan's mother nodded.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhong immediately sent a message to his old friend asking: "Has Xiao Xi recognized Feng Ming as her great-great-grandfather?"
Mu Feng was sitting on the sofa when he saw the message and replied: "Hmm."
Grandpa Zhong: !!!
When did they get together?!
Mu Feng: [I've been feeling better for a while now.]
Grandpa Zhong: ...
Fortunately, his grandson and Ye Qingxi are good friends. If they were enemies, he would be furious.
Grandpa Zhong: [Xiao Xi's luck is quite good.]
Mu Feng disagreed: "You should say Feng Ming was lucky."
Grandpa Zhong thought about it and agreed. After all, Ye Qingxi was about to perform on the world stage in front of people all over the world, and the Feng family would also benefit from this honor.
Grandpa Zhong: [Does he know about Xiao Xi's World Championship participation?]
Mu Feng glanced at the old man who was peeling pistachios for Ye Qingxi and was beaming with joy.
Of course, we don't know yet.
