Chapter 863
On the stone table in the Shuixin Pavilion, there were also Xi Yue’s favorite snowflake crisps.
Xi Yue leaned against Chen Fengdu’s chest, feeding him snowflake crisps. Seeing that Chen Fengdu still had a stern face, Xi Yue said, “Still angry? What’s there to be angry about? Doesn’t this just prove your foresight is spot on? That the person you picked really has the capability, the means, and the courage.”
“Hmph!” Chen Fengdu couldn’t swallow his pride.
“Besides, he and the Sea Queen are truly in love. When I saw the Sea Queen that day, she looked familiar. Later, when I checked online, I found out she’s Ye Junqing’s fiancée. They staged a palace coup for their fiancées. Isn’t that just as deeply in love as you were when you abdicated the throne to be with me? What do you call this? If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked, they all learned it from you.”
“What ‘upper beam not straight, lower beam crooked’? This is clearly ‘the student surpasses the master!'”
After correcting her, Chen Fengdu’s face turned cold again, and he roared, “I don’t have such an unfilial son! At first, I chose a good wife for him, and he didn’t want her. Now he talks to me about deep love? He’s clearly just being cheap!”
Xi Yue chuckled softly, “Aren’t all men cheap?”
Chen Fengdu wanted to say, I’m not cheap, but Xi Yue immediately added, “Men who aren’t cheap aren’t loved much by women.”
“That’s right, I’m also a cheap man.” Chen Fengdu changed his stance as swiftly as a god.
Then he opened his mouth, bit the snowflake crisp that Xi Yue held to his lips, and then, bending down, fed it back to her mouth.
Outside the Shuixin Pavilion, heavy snow fell incessantly, but inside the pavilion, the warmth did not cease.
Such heavy snowfall lasted for three days, and after three days, everyone emerged from their homes, bundled up in thick down jackets, with young girls standing in the snow, taking pictures at every street corner.
In the city, snow removal teams worked tirelessly, but in the outskirts, the heavy snow blocked the roads, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.
Ye Junqing, with his graceful wife by his side, boarded a helicopter to visit Elder Chen, bringing along with him the engagement party invitations. The helicopter landed in the mansion’s courtyard. However, Chen Fengdu didn’t let the couple enter the house. Ye Junqing simply placed the invitation on the window and then was ready to leave.
Ye Xingguang was dragged onto the helicopter, “Is this really okay? He doesn’t let you in, and you just don’t say a few more good words from outside? Maybe if you wait longer, his heart will soften, right?”
Ye Junqing, not having that kind of patience, followed onto the helicopter and said, “With that time, I might as well go back and work at the company. There’s a pile of things waiting for me to handle.”
Watching the helicopter slowly ascend, Chen Fengdu, who sat in the house, pushed open the home door, not expecting this rebellious son to lack even this bit of patience. Couldn’t he have brought gifts like those days and pleaded every day without him opening the door?
Following him out, Xi Yue saw not just an invitation on the ground at the door but also a long gift box. She took out the gift box and opened it, finding a painting inside. Unrolling the scroll, Xi Yue said, “Fengdu, look.”
“What’s there to look at? Would I care for a gift from that unfilial son?”
Chen Fengdu said, but as he cast a glance unintentionally, he was about to shift his gaze when suddenly he looked back, took a closer look, and realized, wasn’t this his painting?
The beautiful woman in the painting, wasn’t that his own Xi Yue?
This was the first painting he had made for Xi Yue, but it had been stolen by a servant and sold. After that, it was lost and could never be found. Where did this lad get it from?
