As soon as she woke up in the morning, Rong Yumo heard someone shouting. She quickly crawled out of bed, washed her face and came out.

At this moment, her hair was still slightly wet, but her unmade-up face was as radiant as pearls.

Lu Qiongqi's eyes lit up, and she trotted over, her tone so intimate: "Sister Yumo, did you sleep well?"

He was like two different people compared to the nonchalant look he had shown towards Zhou Chengwei just now.

Rong Yumo looked at him, her eyes curved and her smile bright: "Very good, Qiqi, did you sleep well?" Lu Qiongqi nodded and took her arm.

Zhou Chengwei looked at the sky outside. The sun was still in the east.

I am really puzzled. Rong Yumo has always been distant and polite to others, but today she was holding hands with Lu Qiongqi. The relationship between the two seems to have become very good, even closer to her than to her sister.

She also didn't want to offend Rong Yumo.

Zhou Chengwei said coldly: "Since she is your guest, you should take good care of her."

Rong Yumo said calmly: "I will naturally entertain Qiqi well, so Sister Chengwei doesn't have to worry about it."

When Zhou Ceyan came back from his morning run, the living room was filled with a stiff and strange atmosphere.

There is only one person who is most at ease, and that is Lu Qiongqi.

She didn't know what she was saying to Rong and Mo. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with bright spring light, which was more warm than the sunshine outside.

It makes him feel warm when he sees it.

Not only that, but I also feel itchy.

Just thinking of what Lu Qiongqi said last night, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The little girl must not be led astray by the bad habits of the Lu family.

Everyone sat in the living room and waited for a while.

Bai Zhulan, the old lady of the Zhou family, walked out with a cane, her gait steady.

Her face was full of traces of time, and her originally black hair had turned as white as snow. Her expression was upright and serious, and she naturally exuded a majestic temperament.

This kind of majesty is not simply harsh, but more of a kind of calmness that comes from experiencing ups and downs and vicissitudes.

Her eyes swept across the dining table, and when she saw a little girl she didn't recognize sitting there, she took a closer look.

The little girl looked at her happily, without any fear or nervousness.

Lu Qiongqi raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a bright smile: "Hello, grandma~"

Bai Zhulan was a little surprised. She was also a military man and her aura was different from that of ordinary old ladies.

The younger generations didn't dare to get close to her. In this family, only Zhou Ceyan was not afraid of her. In the early years, he even quarreled with her.

Now, due to changes in his family, he has become mature overnight and is no longer as joking as before.

"Let's eat."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou sat down, the servants brought more than a dozen carefully prepared breakfast dishes to the table.

Lu Qiongqi is not like other girls who like sweets. She keeps staring at the meat.

However, there was a limited amount of meat for breakfast, so everyone noticed as she picked up the three dishes of boiled shrimp, roast goose and barbecued pork, and pork ribs in plum sauce with chopsticks one after another.

Seeing the young girl eating with relish, Bai Zhulan drank another half bowl of soup and even picked up a piece of barbecued pork.

Rong Yumo took the napkin and gently wiped off the sauce that accidentally stained the corner of her mouth.

Lu Qiongqi's rosy little mouth moved, and she ate with a fragrant and sweet look, as if she was eating the most delicious thing.

Zhou Ceyan raised a smile and stretched out his slender arm to move the plum sauce spare ribs that were a little far away from Lu Qiongqi to her side.

Lu Qiongqi kept nodding, seeming very satisfied with his thoughtful service.

Zhou Chengwei chewed the cabbage heart and felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

Zhou Ceyan had never done such a thoughtful thing for her.

Old Mrs. Zhou also saw her grandson's actions, and a hint of surprise flashed in the corners of her drooping eyes.

Not only did he notice the girl's preferences, he also took the initiative to change the dishes. When has that rascal Zhou Ceyan ever done such a thing at home?

Old Madam Zhou coughed lightly and said coldly, "Where is this girl from?"

Lu Qiongqi quickly swallowed the shrimp in his mouth and replied in a clear voice: "Grandma, my name is Lu Qiongqi, and Lu Zhanyan is my eldest brother."

It belongs to the Lu family in the south of the city.

Bai Zhulan was a little disappointed.

How can they be a pair with her grandson? The boy from the Lu family wants to marry Cheng Wei from her family.

The old lady's mouth was drooping, and she seemed unhappy.

Bai Anan felt happy in her heart: See, the old lady doesn't like me.

Lu Qiongqi didn't think it was a big deal.

Because she couldn't sense the old lady's ill will towards her.

Rong Yumo touched Lu Qiongqi's hand soothingly, then changed the subject and asked, "Grandma, why did you come back so suddenly this time?"

Old Mrs. Zhou usually lives in Qibao Mountain for a long time. She says that it is for self-cultivation and worshipping Buddha, as well as for keeping healthy. Usually, the younger generations don't have to look for her. Whenever there is something going on at home or during the New Year or other festivals, Bai Zhulan will go down the mountain and go home.

But now it is not a festival, so the old lady went back home.

It must be something big.

Bai Zhulan let out a long sigh and looked at her grandson who was tall and handsome but still single.

"I came back from Qibao Mountain this time because Master Xuanmiao said that I won't live long."

Rong Yumo accidentally dropped the bowl.

Seeing her adopted granddaughter, who was always calm and composed, she lost her composure because of her words.

Old Madam Zhou's eyes became softer and she gently patted the back of Rong Yumo's hand: "Don't worry, child."

In this family, Rong Yumo has the best relationship with her grandmother. Although she is not her biological daughter, Bai Zhulan takes care of her a lot, both openly and secretly.

Although grandma said little, she did a lot.

When she heard the master say that Old Mrs. Zhou would not live long, she became extremely anxious and was about to get up and feel Bai Zhulan's pulse to see what was wrong.

However, Mrs. Zhou stopped her and said hurriedly, "Momo, sit down and listen to me."

She continued, "When I came back from Qibao Mountain, Master Xuanmiao said that my illness was a serious calamity and must be healed by great joy."

"What great joy?"

The old lady explained: "The joy that the master is talking about is the joy of having a new baby in the family, and holding a great-grandson soon."

Great-grandson?

Bai Zhulan has two sons, one is Zhou Shuyuan, the father of Zhou Ceyan, and the other is Bai Changji, the father of Bai Anan.

Zhou Ceyan also has a cousin named Bai Yiyi.

Unfortunately, Bai Yiyi is younger than Bai Anan, only nine years old.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Ceyan. Rong Yumo looked the most anxious. Zhou Chengwei also tightly grasped her napkin, obviously very worried.

Zhou Ceyan slowly picked up the hand towel and washed his hands.

Then he spoke: "What kind of horrible witchcraft is this? I marry a wife, give birth to a fat boy, and then exchange my life for yours?"

Bai Zhulan glared at her grandson and said, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. It's not that weird. This is a wedding for good luck."

Zhou Ceyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Master Xuanmiao, have you figured out that I have the fate of Ziwei Star and will soon unify the world."

What is this? Old Mrs. Zhou denied it: "That's not the case."

Zhou Ceyan looked at the old lady and said, "That's really strange. Didn't he figure out that someone in our family would inherit the throne soon?"

"The throne of our family is passed down to males, not females. Are women who marry out not considered members of the Zhou family?"

"You must have a great-grandson for your grandson. My eldest sister is getting engaged soon. Isn't this a good omen? She and Lu Zhanyan will work hard to give you a great-grandson sooner rather than later. Isn't that good?"

Zhou Chengwei glared at him.

Without waiting for the old lady to answer, Lu Qiongqi said loudly: "Not good."
