Wen Ren felt very depressed lately because he received another invitation; it was Qi Chengyue's son's full moon celebration. Qi Chengyue's son, Cheng Xiyue was born when Little Xicheng was in his second semester of elementary school.
Wen Ren was very bitter. Qi Chengyue's second son had been born yet Fang Jiaran refused to have another daughter.
Clutching the invitation in his hand, he looked at Fang Jiaran.
Fang Jiaran was lying lazily on the banana-shaped couch reading an adult comic book while rocking back and forth on the banana-shaped couch. Wen Ren's eyes fell on her lower abdomen. He suddenly chucked the invitation aside, strode over to Fang Jiaran's side and proceeded to squeeze himself onto the narrow banana-shaped couch.
The banana-shaped couch only had room to accommodate one person. Without hesitation, Fang Jiaran lifted her feet and sent Wen Ren off the couch with a kick.
Wen Ren was dumbfounded.
In the past, she could not wait to see him, and when she did, she blushed and buried herself in his embrace. She also proposed to him. It has only been a few years and she already disliked him?
Wen Ren looked downward. During his prime, girls swooned over him. He still had his rock hard eight-pack abs, that did not change, but he was now disliked?
Wen Ren got up unabashed and moved closer, this time not on the couch but sat cross-legged on the floor next to it. He encircled Fang Jiaran in his arms.
"What are you reading?" Wen Ren took a glance, and it seemed like it had something to do with the triads. He pouted his lips and said, "Why are you reading a comic? Isn't your man here the real-life version? Decent, cool and gangsta!"
Fang Jiaran was speechless.
Heh... Her man completely destroyed her fantasies of what a cool gangsta was.
She had not seen many decent triad leaders as Wen Ren had shielded her from getting involved in these matters. However, she also knew that these people would not have the same character as Wen Ren.
Fang Jiaran glanced at him and said, "Yes, so when I'm reading this comic, it is easier to fantasize."
Wen Ren was thrilled when he heard it, his heart was full of pride, his chest ballooned, "Did you fantasize about me as the main character in the comic?"
"..." Fang Jiaran could not help but tell the truth as she blurted, "I replaced you with the main character."
Wen Ren was stupefied.
Wen Ren got up, went and took out all the Durex and Okamoto condoms they had and poked holes in them one by one.
...
On the day of Cheng Xiyue's full moon celebration, not only did Wen Ren bring Fang Jiaran and his two sons, but as Grandfather Xiao and Grandfather Ruan's relationship were getting closer, resulting in his relationship with Grandfather Qi too was getting better, Xiao Yunqing and Ning Wan also brought along Xiao Yiqing and Xiao Anzhe to B City.
As soon as Xiang Haorui, Wen Ren's apprentice heard that Xiao Yiqing would be in B City, he begged Wen Ren to bring him along.
Wen Ren was more than happy to bring him along and even praised him."You have your eyes set on a woman at this young age, very promising. I'll help you."
They headed to Dynasty as soon as they arrived in B CIty.
Xiang Haorui followed Wen Ren as they got out of the car. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, he began looking for Xiao Yiqing and quickly spotted her with Qi Youning, Wei Muran and Cheng Xicheng.
Xiang Haorui strolled coyly toward Xiao Yiqing but after a few steps realized that someone had beaten him to it.
Fourteen-year-old Wen Xu's legs were much longer than his. He did not even notice him walking so briskly, strode gracefully forward. Each stride equaled several steps of his own.
Xiang Haorui felt anxious. Although his legs were shorter, he had his mouth."Qingqing!" he shouted.
Not just Yiqing turned, but all her friends did as well. Xiao Youning ran over immediately upon seeing Wen Xu.
"Ah Xu! Why were you away for so long?" Xiao Youning rushed into Wen Xu's arms. Even Wen Xu was knocked back a couple of steps.
This little meat-ball has some heft to her.
Qi Chenglin still struggled for his daughter to lose weight. He barely maintained his daughter's weight from increasing rapidly and gradually sustained it within the normal range.
Due to her having an elder brother who would slip her snacks in secret, the results were not significant. She was still chubby.
"I had exams back home, " laughed Wen Xu. After completing his examination, he could spend a little more time in B City.
"What are you waiting for? Hug me!" Little Youning extended her stubby little arms. She was dissatisfied that Wen Xu did not immediately hug her when they met. She was tired of standing.
Wen Xu obediently lifted her off the ground. Xiang Haorui looked at both of them, then at Qingqing. He pondered a while and was a little vexed that he was not tall enough to lift little Yiqing like that.
Who knew where Cheng Xicheng found the Step-mother's costume, which was the Evil Queen's dress in <Snow White>. Disney did not sell those.
Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue were also speechless because of this.
Other daughters thought of themselves as little princesses. At Disneyland, they would have bought Cinderella's costume, Snow White's costume, Sleeping Beauty's costume. Since <Frozen> became so popular, they would have bought Elsa's sky-blue costume.
Cheng Dongge's parents went to Japan last month for a holiday. Since Qi Chengyue had just given birth and could not move about conveniently, she was more than happy to let Little Xicheng accompany her grandparents to Japan.
The three of them had no fixed itinerary. Cheng Dongge was worried that both of them would lose their way due to language barriers and them being elderly. He found a tour guide to accompany them to act as an interpreter.
The two elders even did not want to be driven around and wanted to experience the local public transportation.
During one of those days, the two elderly folks took Little Xicheng to Disneyland.
There are souvenir shops everywhere in Disneyland. One would have to exit through a souvenir shop for every ride that sold all kinds of Disney cartoon character dolls, accessories, and clothes.
It was imperative that Cheng Zhaohui and Sun Shaoyun spoiled their granddaughter with tonnes of gifts. They had already decided that they would spend to their heart's content at Disneyland as long as their granddaughter liked it.
However, even after some time, Little Xicheng did not see anything she liked.
Finally, Sun Shaoyun could not hold back and said, "Chengcheng, tell us which one of these do you like. Grandpa and Grandma will buy it for you! Whatever you want, we'll get it for you. Don't worry about the money!"
Little Xicheng looked up at the two elders' distressed and worried faces and was speechless for a while.
"I'm not worried about money! Mom and Dad are rich, " said Little Xicheng.
The two elders nodded in relief. The child knew!
"We visited so many stores, didn't you see anything you wanted? Crystal ornaments, pencils, pens; you'd need those for school. You can put dolls on your bed, and Mickey Mouse cards! And also princesses costumes..."
"I want clothes, but they don't have it, " said Xiao Xicheng finally.
"They don't? Which one did you want? They have Elsa, " said Sun Shaoyun, surprised.
"I want the Evil Queen's costume." Little Xicheng pursed her lips disappointingly.
"..." Sun Shaoyun suddenly felt life was going to get difficult."Which Evil Queen?"
"The Step-mother in <Snow White>, the one who keeps asking the magic mirror who is the fairest of them all, " said Little Xicheng hopefully. From her point of view, adults must be more knowledgeable. They would know where they sold them, right?"
The two elders were overwhelmed.
They searched every store but could not find the Step-mother's costume that Little Xicheng wanted. Sun Shaoyun decided that they would ask Cheng Dongge to have the costume custom-made for her. Little Xicheng was so thrilled to return home.
As his daughter wished, Cheng Dongge did not hesitate and went online to find <Snow White>. He cut out every costume the Evil Step-mother wore for Little Xicheng to choose. Little Xicheng picked her favorite, then Cheng Dongge had the costume custom-made.
Therefore, at today's full moon celebration, Little Xicheng wore a brand new Step-mother costume with a little crown. As she turned, she swung her black cloak. It rippled like waves in the air momentarily before draping back onto her body.
"Magic mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" asked Little Xicheng in a clear voice while raising her chin.
Little Muche even held a mirror in his hands. Immediately after he heard Little Xicheng cue, he announced, "Of course it's Xicheng!"
Little Xicheng beamed gleefully. She raised her head, adjusted her golden crown, and walked toward Little Yiqing with grace.
