Chapter 1384: Wishes
Feng Shengxuan was used to a life of never needing to wash his hands before eating. He would have gotten someone to clean his hands with a few disinfected hot towels. However, at this moment, he followed the customs of the household and washed his hands in the kitchen before drying his hands with tissue.
When he walked into the living room again, Feng Shengxuan looked at Bai Liyue and the empty seat beside her. Then, he glanced at the s.p.a.ce next to Nuannuan that was already occupied by Chi Yang and the two little buns. He hesitated for a moment. For the first time, he did not throw a temper tantrum or force the two little buns to make way for him.
After sitting down, he peered at Bai Liyue. He wanted to show her some concern, but nothing came out of his mouth.
“Do you know how badly injured you are? You decided to fool around downstairs anyway.”
After watching Nuannuan and Chi Yang’s interaction for the past two days, Bai Liyue had already sorted out her emotions.
Even though she still loved Feng Shengxuan, she knew that this was just unrequited love, and it was time for her to stop. One day, that special someone would appear and return her feelings.
Therefore, when she heard Feng Shengxuan’s question, Bai Liyue no longer s.h.i.+ed away from bashfulness. Instead, she finally showed her most authentic self and smiled gently at Feng Shengxuan. “I’m already much better. Nuannuan said that I can come down now.”
Nuannuan nodded as she chewed on the sweet-and-sour spare ribs that were glistening with brown sugar. “Yes, yes. Big Sis Yue has been diligently applying the ointment that I prepared especially for her. She’s recovering very quickly. At this point, going out of her room and stretching her muscles will help her recover.”
Feng Shengxuan was mesmerized by the smile that Bai Liyue flashed him. She had never shown him a smile like this before. He was so much in a daze that he failed to register what Nuannuan said.
Bai Liyue turned around to speak to Aiden after the two of them exchanged those very few words. Both Aiden and Bai Liyue agreed that after the new year, Bai Liyue would head to Imperial Phoenix Group to a.s.sist Aiden. She would try her best to ease this sudden influx of excessive workload while smoothening out the issues they had from Sab.
“You haven’t even recovered from your injury? Why are you heading to the office? Do you want to die?”
“Nuannuan said that I would’ve recovered by the time the Lunar New Year is over. I should be able to walk around then, as long as I don’t overextend myself. Is that right, Nuannuan?”
“Yep.”
Even Nuannuan nodded. Although Feng Shengxuan was fuming for no reason, there was nothing he could say.
Nuannuan stood up. “Grandpa Chi, Grandpa, I wish the two of you a happy new year! May you live a healthy life until you’re 120!”
“Happy New Year to both our great-grandpas!” The two little buns said in unison.
After the little buns, everyone stood up.
Among the six Nangong brothers, some were mature and steady like Nangong Jin and Nangong Yun. Some of them were elegant, like Nangong Li and Nangong Zheng. There were also those who were cheerful and lively like Nangong Yi and Nangong Ze.
With the addition of Aiden, Selina, and Dan Qi, the entire Chi residence was instantly in an uproar.
Everyone gave their blessings to the two elders.
Seeing that everyone had given their blessings, Feng Shengxuan wondered if he should also give them his blessings.
However, at the thought of how his father died in the hands of these two instigators, the hatred in Feng Shengxuan’s heart would not allow him to bow down to his enemies.
Hence, from the beginning to the end, Feng Shengxuan did not give any blessings to the two old masters or the elders.
After everyone gave their blessings, the two old masters smiled happily as they asked the butler to bring their things over.
The old masters held one bag each.
