Chapter 445: Honeymoon Tour
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Buw.a.n.g had followed Old Master Ji back to the capital, but he soon received a call from his maternal grandmother.
Ji Buw.a.n.g’s maternal grandmother was still around, but because she was old, she was a little muddle-headed. Under the circ.u.mstances, she couldn’t attend Ji Buw.a.n.g’s wedding.
However, for the past few days, perhaps because she had heard her sons mention Ji Buw.a.n.g’s wedding, his maternal grandmother actually sobered up a little and started looking for Ji Buw.a.n.g.
His eldest uncle thus contacted him. Ji Buw.a.n.g decided to make a trip over to speak with her while her mind was clear and bring her some wedding candy.
When he was young, his maternal grandmother had actually treated him very well. Later on, after his mother had died, his maternal grandparents had started to blame the Ji Family, so they hadn’t contacted each other for a long time.
Since Ji Buw.a.n.g had woken up, the two sides had started having contact again.
When Mu Jingzhe heard Ji Buw.a.n.g’s plan, she asked, “Should I go with you?”
“It’s best if you come and let Grandma take a look at you. But won’t you be too busy?”
“No, it’s fine. Besides, the scenery there should be pretty good.” She would consider it an early honeymoon.
“The scenery is indeed not bad there. This is the season the peach blossoms are about to bloom. The plum trees must have bloomed too. There are also willow trees there. The willow trees look their best now.”
“Then let’s bring the camera.” If she went out with Ji Buw.a.n.g, the scenery would look the best anywhere.
Mu Jingzhe wanted to go out with Ji Buw.a.n.g. Li Zhaodi felt very helpless when she heard that. “You’re the bride. You should be at home waiting to get married. Why are you running around?”
“I’m not running around. I’ll be back soon.”
Li Zhaodi couldn’t do anything about that, and the children were also helpless. They knew that they were getting married and they had a good relations.h.i.+p, but was it really fine for them to run away like this? Although they happened to be going to accompany Shao Qihai, they felt kind of upset when they saw Mu Jingzhe leave with Ji Buw.a.n.g just like that.
Before leaving, Ji Buw.a.n.g saw Xiao Wu secretly glaring at him. Shao Xi stared at him as if he was a bad person who had secretly abducted his mother.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Little guy, why are you glaring at me?” Ji Buw.a.n.g stroked Shao Xi’s head and rapped Xiao Wu’s.
Shao Xi didn’t let him stroke his head. “Take good care of Mommy. If Mommy loses even a single hair, we’ll make you suffer.”
Ji Buw.a.n.g laughed. “Little Xi, don’t keep imitating television dramas. Hair falls by itself all the time…” Seeing Shao Xi’s expression, Ji Buw.a.n.g quickly corrected himself. “Got it, got it. We’ll be back soon. I’ll definitely bring your mother back safely. Not a single strand of her hair will be missing.”
Shao Dong pulled Shao Xi aside. “Are you still worried about Mommy and Uncle Ji going out?”
“Little Dong is still the best.” Ji Buw.a.n.g patted Shao Dong’s shoulder.
“What about me? Am I not good?” Little Bei squeezed her way in.
“Little Bei is the best too. You’re all great.” Ji Buw.a.n.g blinked. “I’ll prepare the red packets and give them to you guys later.”
The red packets were for the change of address. Once they were given, they would switch to calling him ‘Papa’.
“I look forward to our next meeting.” Ji Buw.a.n.g indicated that he was already prepared.
The children waved their hands and watched the couple leave. Shao Xi asked Xiao Wu, “Xiao Wu, are you going to call him ‘Papa’ too? Or are you going to call him ‘Uncle’?”
“I don’t know either.” Xiao Wu shook his head. “Anything is fine. He’s my biological uncle anyway.”
“I think you should call him ‘Papa’. Otherwise, it will be strange if we all call him ‘Papa’ and you call him ‘Uncle’.” Their relations.h.i.+p was complicated to begin with. A Daddy wasn’t enough. Now, there was also a Papa. If Xiao Wu called him ‘Uncle’, it would be too messy.
“Alright.” Xiao Wu was very easy to talk to.
“After we change the way we address him, he’ll definitely be very proud. During this period of time, he secretly asked us to change the way we address him, but we refused.”
Shao Dong also laughed when he heard that. “But you can’t kid around when it’s time to officially change your form of address.”
“I know.” Shao Xi snorted. “I’ll call him ‘Papa’ properly.”
…
Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buw.a.n.g rushed to his maternal grandmother’s house. Everything went smoothly on the way, and they also saw the scenery along the way.
People always said that if one had good company on a trip, the scenery would be good anywhere. This was something Mu Jingzhe had experienced on the way, as it was really nice to go out with Ji Buw.a.n.g.
They basically didn’t have any arguments. No matter what she said, Ji Buw.a.n.g would agree. Besides feeling happy, Mu Jingzhe was a little worried that if this continued, she would be spoiled and would become a particularly annoying brat.
Ji Buw.a.n.g laughed out loud when he heard her worries. “That’s fine. As long as I like it.” It was best if no one came to s.n.a.t.c.h Jingzhe.
The two of them walked and stopped, seeing all the gorgeous scenery that Ji Buw.a.n.g had mentioned. The newly-bloomed willow branches were indeed beautiful. Ji Buw.a.n.g had made a hat to s.h.i.+eld Mu Jingzhe from the sun, and when he saw blooming flowers, he would stick them on the hat.
As looked at the green willow branches and flowers, Mu Jingzhe felt like she wasn’t far from becoming a flower fairy.
When Ji Buw.a.n.g went to pick the flowers, he was chased by a dog who almost bit his b.u.t.t.
Mu Jingzhe was quite startled. “Fortunately, it didn’t bite you. What if you got rabies?”
The price to be a flower fairy wasn’t small, but she did take quite a few photos. They walked and stopped multiple times like this, and they rested overnight once more midway before arriving the next day.
His maternal grandmother’s family was doing well, but they had not interacted with each other for many years and were unfamiliar with each other now. What’s more, he had never met some of them before. Their family had gained many children since he had last been in touch with them, so these children basically didn’t know Ji Buw.a.n.g.
Coupled with the fact that his maternal grandmother had moved house, other than her, who he still found familiar, everything else seemed very unfamiliar to Ji Buw.a.n.g. Everything had changed.
Actually, according to blood relations, they had all originally been very close. However, if a relations.h.i.+p wasn’t maintained, that blood relations.h.i.+p would fade.
They had originally been cousins from the same family, but they were unfamiliar with each other. It hadn’t even occurred to them that Ji Buw.a.n.g would come over after they sent him the news. Ji Buw.a.n.g and Mu Jingzhe came to visit his surprised Eldest Uncle and other relatives and they behaved in a reserved way.
For some reason, Ji Buw.a.n.g didn’t seem to be in a good mood and he felt especially vexed after getting there. The weather was also hot. The New Year had clearly just pa.s.sed, but it felt like summer had arrived early. He couldn’t even wear his coat.
Coincidentally, his maternal grandmother had also fallen asleep, so Ji Buw.a.n.g bade them all farewell and said that he would come again some other day.
They politely invited Ji Buw.a.n.g to stay at their home, but judging from the situation, there wasn’t a room for them at all.
After bidding them farewell, Ji Buw.a.n.g felt a little depressed. “In the past, whenever Mother brought me back, I played with my cousin and the rest. Although I only saw them two or three times a year, when Mother was around, I felt close to them.. Back then, my cousin and the rest even brought me around to play.”
