Chapter 23: 023: Paternal Cousins (1) Yue Xuexia had been asleep for two hours when Little Taiyang, in human shape, decided to rouse her from her rest. He pulled the food cart into the Master's bedroom, made her meal, and woke her gently. "Xue'er... You sleepyhead! Wake up and eat dinner!" said Little Taiyang. With a grumpy expression, Yue Xuexia opened her eyes and scowled. She waved her fist toward the voice that was bothering her, but Little Taiyang stopped it before it could strike Little Taiyang in the face. Little Taiyang said, "Wake up. Eat dinner, then you can go back to sleep." Yawns~ Yue Xuexia was now half awake, hearing a young man's voice coming from inside her room. "Who are you? How did you enter my room?" asked Yue Xuexia as she used her newly learned combat skills. She and the young man with the golden red hair exchanged a few quick punches and kicks, but the young man parried all of her attempts with such ease that it seemed like he was doing it instinctively. Little Taiyang said, "Because you don't sleep on time, your low blood each time you wake up causes your moods to go bad. It's me, Taiyang. This is my human form. I look handsome right?" "Yangyang? For real? I thought you said you were a grandpa. Why do you look like a college student instead? Hahaha~" said Yue Xuexia, who was finally fully awake and walked around Little Taiyang in his human form. At a head taller than Little Taiyang today, Yue Xuexia appears to be a freshmen college student entering his first year of college based only on appearance. "So cute~," said Yue Xuexia as she jumped on him and hugged the young man in front of her. Seeing Little Taiyang like this, it is clear that she treated him like her little brother. Unaccustomed to such intimate touch, Taiyang was startled when he felt the soft mounds suffocating his face, looking like a drowning fish with his face buried in Yue Xuexia's breasts. Puff! Little Taiyang with a tomato-colored face complained, "Are you trying to kill me? I can't breathe!" "Hehe~ sorry... Yangyang, you look so dashing in a suit. But why are you in human form?" asked Yue Xuexia. Little Taiyang pushed her gently towards the small table full of food. "Eat first. Talk later," said Little Taiyang. He was about to leave when Yue Xuexia pulled him over and forced him to the seat next to her. Yue Xuexia said while smiling, "Eat with me. They've served a lot. I can't finish everything. Or else I won't eat." "You!? Fine! Hmp!" said Little Taiyang. Watching a young brother like Taiyang eat with a grumpy face and hurried hands made Yue Xuexia laugh. Yue Xuexia asked teasingly, "Is it delicious, Yangyang?" "Barely. It tastes unique but delicious. Though there isn't enough energy coming from it, it is still fulfilling," said Little Yangyang. While Yue Xuexia eats a small amount of dinner, most of it ends up in Little Taiyang's stomach because she rarely eats as soon as she opens her eyes and never has an appetite when she wakes up. The system said to Little Taiyang, [You're eating too much. How embarrassing!] "I'm not even half full yet," he whispered and said to Yue Xuexia, "Xue'er, I want to eat more." Yue Xuexia chuckled and said, "Then I'll order more for you." She then grabs the landline in the room and orders more food and coffee.@@@@ She noticed the pile of papers on the side table of the bed. "Is this from the Executive Manager?" asked Yue Xuexia. Little Taiyang said, "Yes. I've checked it. Nothing is wrong with it. You can sign your name without a problem. Are you not going to eat this? What is this again? Crabs and lobster?" "Go ahead. I used to have an allergy to seafood. So I'm not fond of eating those but since my health had reached max value I think my former health problems are gone. Even my asthma had disappeared," said Yue Xuexia. "Is it expensive?" asked Mama Fu. Fu Ruan said, "I've done meetings in the Crowned Regent Hotel. It's a five-star hotel. A single piece of cake caused the same as a whole cake from other cake stores." "Don't worry. Didn't Xue'er give it as a gift? Then it is for us to eat," said Papa Fu. The whole family sighed with relief at Papa Fu's words, "You are right, it is a gift, so whatever the cost of this box of cakes is, it is free." However, they failed to notice that Fu Wenya, who was listening to the adult conversation in silence, was more concerned about her pocket money from her aunt than she was about the cake. Fu Wenya said, 'Later... I will tell mommy and daddy about the pocket money after Grandpa and Grandma are asleep.' When the kids went to sleep, Fu Ruan and his family remained in the same room. Fu Ruya dozed out as soon as she got into bed, and Ruan and Wenxi waited for Rue to come back since it felt like their parents had something important to say. Qu Wenxi asked, "Darling, what do you think Ma and Pa will say later? They both look serious." "I don't know. It must not be. Bad news since they aren't rushing us to talk. I am more surprised about Xue'er. A few days ago, Uncle Yuya repaid all his debts to us. I told him there was no need to pay for it, but he insisted. I had no choice but to accept it when he mentioned our children," said Fu Ruan. Qu Wenxi said, "Looks like Xue'er finally made a move. That girl is being so lazy these few years. She looks like she does not want to go out of the house. It is the pandemic's fault. Xue'er had been sickly since she was born, and it was quite hard for her to work outside." "They should be fine now, seeing that Xue'er is able to send expensive gifts just like that cake and fruit basket," said Fu Ruan. Suddenly, they heard someone calling for them and saw Fu Wenya at the door, looking at them and holding her phone. "Daddy, Mommy, can Wenya enter?" she asked. The couple smiled and said, "Go ahead, sweetie." "Do you have something to say to Mommy and Daddy?" asked Fu Ruan. With a quick step, Fu Wenya nods and approaches her parents. She then thrusts her phone in their direction, temporarily confusing the couple. Fu Ruan asked, "What is this, sweetie? Is there something with your phone?" "Um. Look at it, Daddy. It's Aunt Xue who gave me and Ruya some pocket money. She also gave some to Brother Tian and Little Sister Shira." said Fu Wenya. "Can I keep it?" When Qu Wenxi and Fu Ruan saw the money in their eldest daughter's internet account—more than 20,000 rmb in total—they became less bewildered. Qu Wenxi exclaimed, "20,000 rmb!? Doesn't your account only have 1,000 rmb? Where did you get it... Hm, is this what your Aunt Xue gave you?" "She said it was for me and Ruya. Brother Tian also received the same amount for himself and Little Sister Shira. Aunt Xue said it was for her late gifts to us. She had missed our birthdays multiple times and said that it was for the missing gifts she had failed to give us all these years. Daddy, Mommy, do you think I can keep this?" said Fu Wenya. while Yue Xuexia's previous visit was while these men were still babies, unable to walk or talk, Fu Ruan and Qu Wenxi realized that Yue Xuexia must have been feeling sorry for their children for not being able to offer them gifts on their birthdays. Fu Ruan said, "Then save it; Daddy will open a bank account for you and Ruya tomorrow. Save your money for future use, okay? Don't forget to thank your aunt when she visits again." "I will. Thank you, Daddy, Mommy!" said Fu Wenya happily as she kissed their cheeks before leaving the room to go to sleep. A few moments after Fu Wenya left, Qu Wenxi asked, "Is that alright, Darling? Xue'er gave 10,000 rmb each for Wenya and Ruya. That's too much for children's pocket money!" "But if they accumulated their pocket money for years, then that much is fine. Moreover, it was already given, and it's embarrassing to return it," said Fu Ruan. Qu Wenxi thought so as well and said, "Okay, I will tell the children not to accept money from Xue'er anymore." "It should be okay for Christmas, birthday, and the new year. She is their elder after all. They can't always decline her gift as she is their aunt," said Fu Ruan. Qu Wenxi said, "Okay, except for those days. I wonder how Xiyu thought about it?" "He would also accept. Moreover, Aunt Lin needs more money for her current state right now, though Xue'er might have already lent a hand for Aunt Lin's illness," said Fu Ruan. Qu Wenxi said, "That's better. At least Aunt Lin can be cured with Xue'er helping out."
