FV: Chapter 53 Part 2

The next morning, it was still Lin Fei who woke up first. His routine was too regular. He looked around and sure enough, Lin Luoqing had gone to Ji Yuxiao again.

He didn’t speak. He just lay quietly in bed and waited for the others to wake up.

Ji Yuxiao was one step behind him. He learned his lesson this time and specifically glanced at Lin Fei. Then he found that Lin Fei had woken up.

Ji Yuxiao thought, ‘…You wake up too early.’

Baby, can’t you sleep a bit longer?

“Good morning, Fei Fei,” Ji Yuxiao said softly.

Lin Fei looked at him and said softly, “Good morning.”

The two of them chatted for a while. It wasn’t until Lin Luoqing woke up that they got out of bed and prepared to wash up. As for Ji Leyu, he liked to sleep in too much. So the three of them didn’t plan to call him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Luoqing came out after washing up and saw that Ji Leyu was actually awake. He was sitting on the bed and rubbing his eyes slowly.

“Xiao Yu, you got up so early today.” Lin Luoqing was surprised.

Ji Leyu turned to look at him. Ji Leyu had just woken up and looked like a flower that hadn’t bloomed yet. He was soft and tender.

“Dad,” he called out to Lin Luoqing in a soft voice.

Lin Luoqing walked up to him, reached out and carried him off the bed. “Let’s go. Since you are awake, wash your face and brush your teeth.”

Ji Leyu nodded. He was obedient, ignorant and beautiful, like a porcelain doll.

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…Who can believe that he is the most perverted final boss in the book!’

This persona and face were too inconsistent!

Lin Luoqing didn’t let him go back to his room. Lin Luoqing found a disposable toothbrush and helped Ji Leyu wash his face and brush his teeth in the bathroom.

Ji Leyu jumped off the small stool and said happily, “I’ll go call my brother. We’ll have breakfast together.”

“Okay.”

Lin Luoqing patted him on the shoulder.

Ji Leyu ran quickly. After a while, he arrived at Lin Fei’s room.

Lin Fei had already finished washing up. He was currently watering the cactus while waiting for Lin Luoqing to call him to go down together.

As a result, it was Ji Leyu who arrived, not Lin Luoqing.

“Let’s go. Dad told me to call you to have breakfast.”

Lin Fei closed the book and stood up.

Ji Leyu came to his side and asked him, “Brother, do you want me to listen to you?”

He wanted to ask this question last night, but Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao were present, so he didn’t ask.

Lin Fei said calmly, “It doesn’t matter.”

“Really?”

Lin Fei nodded.

Ji Leyu pouted in a not very satisfied manner.

He said, “If you coax me, I’ll listen to you.”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei felt that he really liked being coaxed by others.

He glanced at Ji Leyu in a noncommittal manner.

Ji Leyu blinked and smiled slyly. “Then it isn’t up to me if I listen to you or not. It is up to you, right?”

Lin Fei heard these words and suddenly smiled.

He didn’t smile often but his smile was even more beautiful, like the clouds and rain, or the first clear sun after the snow. It was bright and dazzling, with pride that was faintly visible. It became brilliant in an instant.

He didn’t speak but pinched Ji Leyu’s face.

Ji Leyu’s face was tender and his fair face immediately turned a soft pink. It was like crushed rose petals or freshly baked rose-stuffed buns.

“Let’s go,” Lin Fei told him.

Ji Leyu didn’t understand this attitude. Then after thinking about it, Lin Fei should be willing to coax him. Thus, he didn’t bother with this matter any longer.

He walked up to Lin Fei, pulled out the hand in his pocket and inserted his own hand in.

“Let’s go.” Ji Leyu laughed.

Lin Fei looked at the hand that was in his hand and felt that this person was really clingy.

He took Ji Leyu’s hand and pulled him toward the door.

Ji Leyu happily shook the hands that the two of them held. It was as if he had found new fun and was having a great time playing.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei silently sighed in his heart. He secretly thought this person was really childish. However, Ji Leyu was originally a child and childishness was normal.

Several people went downstairs together and entered the dining room.

Lin Luoqing looked at their family of four, which had just been formed, and felt it was rare. It was rare for them to sit at the dining table and eat breakfast together.

It was a happy thing.

However, there would always be some episodes in their happy time. Lin Luoqing’s phone rang inappropriately.

He glanced down and saw it was Father Lin.

Ever since Father Lin transferred money to Lin Luoqing, he had been waiting for Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao to go home together.

It was just that he was looking forward to the stars and the moon. After two days, Lin Luoqing’s shadow wasn’t seen at all. Father Lin had to call him again and urge him to go home.

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing smiled. “We will go back in the next two days.”

He finished talking. Then he hung up and asked Ji Yuxiao, “When is it convenient for you in the next two days?”

“Anything is fine,” Ji Yuxiao answered gently. “Shall we go tomorrow and solve it early?”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing agreed.

“Where are you going?” The eating Ji Leyu wondered.

“Go back to my father’s house,” Lin Luoqing explained.

Lin Fei was a bit surprised when he heard this. He remembered that his mother had told Lin Luoqing previously to not go find his grandfather.

At that time, Lin Luoqing had said, “You have gone to find Father yet you aren’t allowing me to go. You are too selfish.”

His mother naively told him, “I did it for Fei Fei, I had no choice, but you should know that Father doesn’t have us in his heart. Since he has thrown us out, we should live our own life. This way, he knows that we don’t have to rely on him.”

“Even so, didn’t you go to him? You relied on him.” Lin Luoqing was merciless.

Lin Luoxi’s face instantly became helpless and sad. She was speechless.

Lin Fei watched them from a distance and listened to their conversation. He felt that his mother seemed sad.

He really couldn’t understand the word ‘Father.’ His mother had a father but she also didn’t seem to have a father.

It seemed that a father was dispensable and not needed.

In addition, wasn’t he fine despite not having a father?

He didn’t need his father at all.

After Lin Luoxi came to his room that night, he obediently snuggled into Lin Luoxi’s arms.

Lin Luoxi smiled gently at him. He smiled as well and hugged her.

He hoped that his mother could be happy. However, his mother wasn’t happy so Lin Fei asked her, “What’s wrong with you?”

Lin Luoxi smiled. “I’m fine. Do you want to listen to a story?”

Lin Fei shook his head. “I heard you talking to Uncle. Don’t care about him. You won’t be unhappy if you don’t care about him.”

Lin Luoxi was surprised. “How can this work? He is your uncle and my brother. I can’t leave him alone.”

“But he makes you unhappy?”

“It’s fine.” Lin Luoxi comforted him.

Lin Fei couldn’t understand. Why should she manage Lin Luoqing and why should she be unhappy?

Is it fine to just care about herself?

Lin Luoxi hugged him and kissed him. “Fei Fei, your uncle and I are relatives. I can’t just ignore him, just like he won’t ignore you. We are each other’s relatives.”

Lin Fei couldn’t understand it.

He didn’t need Lin Luoqing to care. He just wanted his mother to leave Lin Luoqing alone, so she wouldn’t feel bad.

However, Lin Luoxi was destined not to be able to do it.

She and Lin Fei were two fundamentally different people. She was the most traditional, dedicated and beloved elder sister. However, Lin Fei had long jumped out of the world. He didn’t care about the world and traditions and lived arrogantly in his own world.

Lin Luoxi couldn’t understand his world while he couldn’t understand Lin Luoxi’s selfless dedication.

However, he loved his mother. So after his mother left, he tentatively gave his trust to Lin Luoqing, a man he didn’t like.

At the beginning, it was indeed disappointing. Now his concern for Lin Luoqing had increased little by little. Thus, he looked at Lin Luoqing and really didn’t want Lin Luoqing to go.

Lin Fei didn’t say a word and quietly lowered his head to eat.

It wasn’t until the meal was over and Lin Luoqing was ready to go back to his room, that he grabbed the corner of Lin Luoqing’s clothes. “Go to my room.”

Lin Luoqing saw the seriousness in Lin Fei’s eyes that he had never seen before. He nodded and entered the bedroom with Lin Fei.

“Do you have anything to tell me?” He asked Lin Fei.

Lin Fei said calmly, “Don’t go see Grandfather.”

He added, “Mom said not to go to him.”

Hearing this, Lin Luoqing remembered that Lin Luoxi had indeed said this to the original owner.

Anyone who was kicked out of the house by their biological father would indeed draw a clear line with their father from then on. Lin Luoxi was like this but the original owner was like a pug. He wagged his tail every day and begged Father Lin to let him go home. For this reason, Lin Luoxi often quarreled with the original owner.

It was just that he wasn’t going home this time to return to the Lin family. He went to ask for money. Lin Luoxi had a good heart and good temper. Even when she was stepped on by her own father and stepmother, she just left with her savings.

Meanwhile, he was different. He would turn a blind eye if Father Lin didn’t come to him. Since Father Lin had come to him, he wasn’t willing if he didn’t take back what belonged to the original owner and Lin Luoxi.

“Don’t worry, I’m not doing what your mother hates. I’m going to do what your mother should’ve done.”

“What?”

“I want to get back what belongs to your mother.”

“What is it?” Lin Fei was puzzled.

“Of course, it is money.”

Lin Luoqing looked at him. “Your grandmother, not Chen Feng, but your mother’s mother. She originally worked hard with your grandfather to get the family where it is today. These should all belong to your mother and you, not Chen Feng. I am going to get back the money that belongs to your mother.”

“But my mother is no longer here.”

“You are still here.” Lin Luoqing patted him on the shoulder. “At that time, the money will be yours.”

Lin Fei already had a concept of money at this time.

He had suffered from having no money, so he knew that money was important.

He looked at Lin Luoqing and thought about these words.

Lin Luoqing comforted him. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to make your mother unhappy. I also won’t return to your grandfather’s home. Trust me.”

Lin Fei stared into his eyes. They were as gentle as usual, so he nodded. “Okay.”

He was willing to believe Lin Luoqing now. But—

“The money you get back will then be yours.”
