Chapter 328 (Bonus Chapter)
March 28:
Mu Shaowu thought for a moment and then suggested, "Why don't you call them Great-Grandfather? Third-Grandfather? Great-Grandmother?"
Ye Qingxi: "...Oh."
"Let's go to sleep, we have to catch a flight tomorrow."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Before going to bed, Mu Shaowu even checked the box office statistics software. Great, "Summer" is still going strong. It seems that they will be the champion of this Spring Festival film season without any surprises.
Mu Shaowu felt relieved and closed his eyes.
Feng Que had been eagerly anticipating their arrival ever since she learned they were coming on the sixth day of the lunar new year.
Seeing him like this, Feng's mother felt complicated.
When Feng Que confessed to them that his relationship with Mu Shaowu was fake, Feng's mother was completely stunned.
Later, she and Feng Que's father reflected on the matter and realized that it couldn't be blamed solely on her son; they also had their share of problems.
If they hadn't put so much pressure on their child, how could the child have gone to the point of hiring someone to pretend to be her boyfriend?
In particular, in order to ensure success, they didn't look for ordinary minor actors, but instead went directly for Mu Shaowu.
So she had an open and honest talk with Feng Que, apologized to him, and told him that she and his father would no longer pressure him.
Then, Feng Que told her that he really liked Mu Shaowu. Although their relationship was fake before, he had genuinely fallen for him during their time together and was now pursuing him.
Phoenix Mother: ...
Feng's mother just felt that he was really young and capable of causing trouble.
The problem is, after all that trouble, his own grandfather and Ye Qingxi have become great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandson, while he and Mu Shaowu are still nowhere near getting anywhere.
According to Feng's mother, a man like Mu Shaowu, who is well-off and already has a child, might not even have any intention of getting married.
However, she had previously interfered in her son's love life, creating the fake boyfriend Mu Shaowu, so now, Feng's mother is too lazy to interfere anymore.
Let him be.
They caught up, and everyone was happy.
If he can't catch up, that's his problem.
However, seeing her son's expectant look, Feng's mother still hoped he would succeed.
After all, it's his own son.
When Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi landed, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Feng Que's car was waiting at the airport entrance, and the two of them found him with almost no effort and got into the car.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Feng!" Ye Qingxi said.
"Hello to you too," Feng Que said with a smile. "Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap when we get back?"
"Not tired."
Are you hungry?
This Ye Qingxi is somewhat...
Feng Que quickly picked up the snacks and yogurt she had brought from home and handed them to him.
"I knew you were coming, so I made this especially for you. Eat something first to fill your stomach."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Feng."
"You are welcome."
Ye Qingxi took out a meat floss cake and handed it to Mu Shaowu before taking another one and eating it herself.
Mu Shaowu then started eating the meat floss bun in his hand.
"How is it?" Feng Que glanced at Mu Shaowu in the rearview mirror.
"Not bad," Mu Shaowu said.
"Then when you two leave, I'll decorate your place."
"No need," Mu Shaowu said. "Our housekeeper can do it too."
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Yes, our housekeeper makes really delicious food too."
"Really? Then I'll try it next time I visit your house."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Feng family's villa.
Phoenix's mother looked at them and smiled, "Long time no see."
Mu Shaowu felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
The last time they met, he was still Feng Que's boyfriend. Although his identity was fake, he still said a lot of sweet and loving things about the two of them in front of Feng Que's mother in order to help Feng Que.
"Hello, Auntie," he said politely.
Ye Qingxi replied sweetly, "Hello, Grandma Feng~"
"Alright, alright, please sit down."
Just as Ye Qingxi was about to start, she heard a "Duang" sound—Aristotle had run over.
He quickly stood up, and after Aristotle ran up to him, he hugged the dog's head and stroked it.
"Long time no see, have you missed me?"
Aristotle barked.
The next second, Ye Qingxi heard Grandpa Feng's hearty voice, "How could I not have thought that you'd drag me out every day just so I could take it out to find you?"
"Great-Grandpa." Ye Qingxi turned her head and saw Grandpa Feng walking down the stairs.
"How are you? Are you tired?" Old Master Feng asked with concern.
"Not tired."
"That's good."
Grandpa Feng walked up to him, lifted his small face and looked at it. "It's alright, you haven't lost weight."
"Of course I haven't lost weight. How could I lose weight over the Chinese New Year?"
"That's true," Old Master Feng said with a smile. "How many days will you be staying this time?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi turned to look at Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu still had to go back to the group to help Mu Zheng with some things, so he said, "Three days."
"Okay, then you can stay here for the next three days."
"this……"
"What, do you want to stay in a hotel?"
Mu Shaowu originally thought so too, but then he thought again that since Grandpa Feng was now Ye Qingxi's great-grandfather, and Ye Qingxi had come specifically to wish him a Happy New Year, from Grandpa Feng's perspective, it was indeed inappropriate to let the child live elsewhere.
"Thank you for your help."
"What trouble? I've eaten plenty of meals at your house," Grandpa Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaowu felt even less burdened.
After all, Old Master Feng really did freeload off his family quite a bit.
"Come on, let me show you your bedroom." Old Master Feng looked at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi was surprised, "I even have a bedroom?"
"Or are you going to sleep on the floor when you get here?"
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "Thank you, Great-Grandpa."
Grandpa Feng pulled Ye Qingxi upstairs.
When they reached the third floor, Grandpa Feng opened the door, and Ye Qingxi saw a room that was almost identical to her bedroom in the Mu family home.
This is……?
“I saw that your bedroom at home looks like this, so I had it renovated to look like this. That way, you won’t feel unfamiliar when you live there,” Grandpa Feng said. “Later, when you grow up and your bedroom changes, you can take a picture and send it to your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather will then have it renovated to look like the picture.”
Ye Qingxi listened, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He never actually stayed in the bedroom at the Mu family's house.
But Grandpa Feng didn't know that. He only knew that it was his bedroom, and he thought it was the room where he slept most soundly and peacefully, so he specially made a replica for him.
"It's unnecessary," Ye Qingxi thought. "He doesn't come here often, so there's no need for me to do this for him."
"Thank you, Great-Grandpa," Ye Qingxi said softly.
"There's no need to thank me, it's nothing," Old Master Feng said with a smile.
Ye Qingxi turned around and hugged him.
Grandpa Feng raised his hand and touched the back of his head. "Don't you think it's nice to have a great-grandfather?"
Ye Qingxi laughed, "I always thought so~"
"I knew it! You definitely won't regret recognizing me as your great-grandfather!"
"Not only did I not lose out, I actually made a huge profit~" Ye Qingxi said affectionately to him.
Grandpa Feng chuckled and patted his head.
Feng Que looked at it and felt very warm.
His grandfather had been longing for a great-grandson for so many years, and now, his wish has finally come true.
Since Ye Qingxi had just gotten off the plane and was still young, Grandpa Feng was worried that he might get tired and wanted him to rest. So, after bringing him here, he prepared to leave.
"You two take a rest. Dinner is still a while away. If you get hungry, there are snacks in the cupboard. I'll have someone bring you some fruit and pastries later. Take your time and rest. There's no rush."
"Okay," Mu Shaowu said.
Grandpa Feng then slowly left.
Before he left, he did not take his grandson with him.
However, Feng Que didn't linger, only saying, "Contact me anytime if you need anything."
"good."
"I live right next door to you."
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ? Huh?!
Feng Que smiled and pushed open the door next door. "Want to come over and have a look around?"
Mu Shaowu: ...What's there to see?!
Before he could refuse, Ye Qingxi agreed first, "Okay!"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu had no choice but to follow his son to visit Feng Que's bedroom.
Well, he was actually a little curious too.
Feng Que's bedroom is very personalized.
The entire decor is very rich and vibrant in color, like a richly colored oil painting.
His room also had many oil paintings and some mechanical artifacts on the walls.
Mu Shaowu looked at it and couldn't help but examine it closely.
Ye Qingxi was also curious, looking at this every now and then.
"Do you like it?" Feng Que smiled when she saw that he was holding a gun made of gears of various sizes. "If you like it, I can give it to you."
Ye Qingxi shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it.
He put the gun back in its place.
"Uncle Feng, your room is quite interesting."
"You can come and visit anytime if you like, we live nearby anyway."
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "Mm."
He turned his head and saw his father looking at an oil painting on the wall.
It was a very simple painting: a setting sun, shaped like an egg yolk, hung on a thin, withered branch.
The painting is simple, but the colors are beautiful. The sky is not gray, but a purplish-white. The grass is also very green, layer upon layer, each layer of green is different, mixed with refreshing blue. It doesn't look like a sunset, but more like the sun high in the sky.
"Dad, do you like this painting?"
Mu Shaowu nodded.
He was never fond of overly depressing things and colors, preferring instead bold and bright colors, as seen in this painting.
Who drew this?
The Feng family is wealthy and has collected many works by famous artists. The two paintings that Mu Shaowu just looked at were by two different oil painting masters.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi quickly leaned closer, tilted her head back, and looked up, "que·feng."
"Uncle Feng, you drew this?!" Ye Qingxi exclaimed in surprise.
Feng Que nodded. "I think I drew it when I was about fourteen years old."
Ye Qingxi: !!
"You drew very well!"
"It's alright," Feng Que said. "The main thing is that I enjoyed drawing it."
He looked at Mu Shaowu, "You like it?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu immediately changed his tune, saying, "No, it's just so-so."
“Then I’ll take you there,” Feng Que said solicitously.
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Didn't we already say it's nothing special, just so-so?!
Why did you give it to him?!
He momentarily became a little awkward. "Well, we've had enough sightseeing, it's time to head back."
"Let's go, Xiaoxi." After saying that, Mu Shaowu pulled Ye Qingxi and quickly walked out.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Why did you leave so suddenly?
Ye Qingxi quickly turned to Feng Que and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Feng."
Mu Shaowu pulled him along and walked back to the room without looking back.
Honestly, out of so many paintings, why did you have to pick the one about the Phoenix Palace?!
Phoenix Palace too!
His own paintings are still hanging on the wall?! And among the works of the masters!
How could he be so shameless?!
