Chapter Index

    Grandpa and Grandma stayed at Xiao Fang’s house for three days before Da Bao’s Full Moon Banquet. Given Xiao Fang’s status, and the fact that the Fei family wasn’t the type of nouveau riche who liked to show off, even important events in such a large family wouldn’t be hyped up for everyone to know. It was only known within their circle. Those who could come would, and those who couldn’t would send their blessings and a red envelope to maintain good relations.

    However, with another legitimate young master born into the Fei family, many from the branch families came. Several major powers that had established themselves abroad also arrived one after another. Each of these was a character Xiao Fang couldn’t afford to offend, completely different from the few women who were just living out their retirement in the Fei family’s main branch.

    Early in the morning, Xiao Fang got up. The stylists had arrived even earlier and were waiting in the living room. Since his grandparents were also there, Fei Xiangnan had hired two more. At first, the two elders were unwilling to bother with such fancy things, but they were immediately placated by Xiao Fang’s words that they needed to take pictures for their great-grandson’s Full Moon Banquet. They couldn’t let their great-grandson not see his beautiful grandparents. The two elders were surprisingly vain in the eyes of a child.

    After coaxing the two elders, Xiao Fang and Fei Xiangnan were handled by a single stylist. The two of them wore the latest couple’s outfits for the year. Both were black suits, distinguished only by small details. Fei Xiangnan’s shirt was gray, with a light gray vest over it. His plaid tie had an indigo gem at its center, surrounded by small diamonds. The low-key, luxurious, and layered design perfectly matched his temperament. Xiao Fang, on the other hand, wore a longer suit jacket over his vest, which added a touch of design. He wore a rather intricate bow tie, which also had a gem in the center, cut from the same raw stone as Fei Xiangnan’s, carrying a sense of blessing.

    When the two of them came out after changing, the stylist couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. The two of them looked so perfect together, one clear and bright, the other calm and steady. She had styled so many young masters and young ladies, but rarely had she seen any as natural as them.

    “It’s perfect!” the stylist praised sincerely. When she found out that Xiao Fang was actually the prospective spouse of the Fei family, she was utterly shocked. But on second thought, compared to those unsavory characters trying to climb the ladder, Baby Xiao was so much better. It seemed that the awards ceremony wasn’t just for show, but a real confirmation. As the first member of the public to know the truth, she couldn’t help but feel a little excited. And Xiao Fang was actually a third gender! If this news got out, who knew how much Xiao Fang’s value would increase.

    Fei Xiangnan looked at Xiao Fang with a smitten expression. He brushed aside the hair at Xiao Fang’s temple with one hand, revealing his left ear with an earring. An obsidian stud was pinned to his fair earlobe, looking particularly… Fei Xiangnan bent down and gently placed a kiss on the earlobe. When the tip of his tongue brushed against Xiao Fang’s earlobe, Xiao Fang couldn’t help but shiver.

    Xiao Fang was most susceptible to Fei Xiangnan’s unconscious teasing. It was just so… Xiao Fang’s face turned red against his will. He gently pushed Fei Xiangnan away and whispered, “There are people here.”

    The mentioned stylist thought: Actually, I’m perfectly fine with not being a person right now. You two continue! Don’t stop! Aaaah!

    Just as the stylist’s inner wolf was about to be unleashed, Old Rogue Fei suddenly stopped.

    Right, how could he let others see his wife’s flustered state? A miscalculation!

    “Then shall we continue when we get back?” Fei Xiangnan adjusted Xiao Fang’s bow tie, still not letting him off the hook with his words. Xiao Fang felt that his life was getting harder and harder. To maintain his dignity in front of outsiders, he could only nod desperately.

    “The baby is dressed,” the nanny said, coming out with Da Bao. The stylist followed behind her. Da Bao was wearing a little red padded jacket today, embroidered with little yellow ducks in various poses. This was based on Xiao Fang’s preferences, and the clothes had been custom-made from the start. He wore a small tiger-head hat on his head and was wrapped in a thick swaddle, revealing a milky, Q-bouncy little face. Xiao Fang couldn’t resist and went forward to hug Da Bao again.

    Da Bao, who hadn’t smiled much in the nanny’s arms, immediately broke into a wide grin as soon as he was back in his father’s embrace. He giggled and giggled, his little chubby hands even trying to rub his daddy’s face. He was very active indeed.

    “The young master really likes his daddy. He didn’t smile at all when I was holding him just now, but he hasn’t stopped laughing since he got to his daddy,” the nanny said with a smile.

    On this special day, President Fei was very appreciative of every comment. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Auntie, you’ve worked hard these days. Your salary will be doubled this month.”

    Now it was the nanny’s turn to smile from ear to ear.

    “Fangfang, does Grandma look awkward dressed like this?” Grandma was wearing a celadon-based cheongsam with a hundred-bird pattern. Her gray hair was coiled into a beautiful bun. Her natural scholarly temperament made her look quiet and elegant, and after being tidied up, she looked several years younger.

    “Hmph, you just think too much. I think it looks good.” Grandpa was also wearing a matching outfit with Grandma. Looking at Grandpa’s current features, it wasn’t hard to imagine how handsome he was when he was young. The two of them standing together looked just like two old artists.

    Xiao Fang placed Da Bao in Fei Xiangnan’s arms and went forward to practice his old profession.

    “Not at all, Grandma looks especially beautiful like this. It makes you look particularly young. Don’t always think you’re old. I think you look better than us young people. Look at this temperament, how many people have it? You and Grandpa look so good in matching outfits, so beautiful, like people who have stepped out of a painting.”

    Both Grandpa and Grandma were amused by Xiao Fang’s words, and Grandma also let go of her slight unease. “You’re just a sweet-talker.”

    Fei Xiangnan couldn’t help but raise his head proudly. Of course, this was his partner’s special skill. Otherwise, how could he have coaxed him into being with him? President Fei, who had initially been very annoyed by Xiao Fang’s flattery, had completely changed. He had become particularly hypocritical!

    ***

    After settling Nuomici’s three meals, the group got ready and drove to the residence. The night before the Full Moon Banquet, Fei Xiangnan had briefly explained the major relationships within the Fei Corporation to Xiao Fang, which completely awed him. It turned out that the group of women in the Fei family was just a drop in the ocean, not even worthy of being on the stage. The true power holders of the Fei descendants… in the country, Fei Xiangnan was the first and the last.

    The Fei Corporation had always been managed by a dual system of light and dark. The generation that truly held power was Old Master Fei’s. Old Master Fei was ranked second and was in charge of the domestic economy. The eldest was in charge of overseas management, and the third had started with a bodyguard company, which was also the branch most involved in the underworld.

    The eldest had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Fei Zhao, managed the public-facing side, while the younger son, Fei Shen, handled the hidden side. The daughter, Fei Jin, had taken over all of her father’s businesses in Italy with her own abilities and was also the one with the best relationship with Fei Xiangnan.

    The eldest son, Fei Zhao, had a son and a daughter. The daughter was a famous international model, and the son, Fei Hezhi, assisted his father in his work. Fei Jin was now nearly thirty-five but still had no partner. The eldest had been anxious and had talked to her, but nothing worked. Only Fei Xiangnan knew that this cousin-aunt of his had been out of the closet for many years and now had a steady partner, who also had a rather bad temper. If his cousin-aunt were to get married, she would be the first to cause a scene.

    Fei Shen, on the other hand, had only two sons, who were twins. With Fei Shen’s thunderous methods, he had managed the hidden side very well over the years, and his two sons were no less impressive when they took over. The elder son, Fei Heyi, managed the overall situation as the primary person in power, while the younger son, Fei Heyu, was the first deputy, handling more detailed business. They were also a well-known generation among the Fei family’s third generation.

    The third branch’s family had always had a single heir per generation—one son, and later, one grandson. However, their methods were such that the other two families combined were no match for them. It was said that the third-generation power holder had lost an eye in a mission two years ago, but this had also solidified his stable position. Now, no one dared to underestimate him. However, this was also the most troublesome and difficult branch to control.

    Hearing this, Xiao Fang couldn’t help but swallow. If this was the model, then in the book, Yan Yunyang had destroyed Fei Xiangnan. Didn’t that mean he had offended the entire Fei Corporation? If they were to make a move, uh oh.

    “So, who’s in charge of the hidden side in the country?”

    “That would be me,” Fei Xiangnan admitted frankly.

    “And the public-facing side?”

    “Also me!” He said this with a hint of pride.

    Xiao Fang thought: Looks like I can’t stop with the rainbow farts in the future!!!

    Hearing this, he suddenly felt that there was no need to bother with those women from the Fei family at all. After all, how could they, who knew nothing of the truth, be a match for Fei Xiangnan? In the end, it was just that President Fei was too lazy to clean up the mess.

    The car drove for over forty minutes before arriving at the old residence. It was only nine in the morning, and he had heard that most of the Fei family would arrive in the afternoon. This allowed Xiao Fang to relax a little. After all, meeting so many powerful figures at once was too much for his heart to handle. Even though Fei Xiangnan told him that not that many would come, Xiao Fang still couldn’t relax.

    But that was just what he thought in the car. As soon as he got out, Xiao Fang started encountering all sorts of monsters, and he had no mind to think about anything else.

    Just as they parked the car and the family got out, a small child crashed into them, holding a bottle of bubble solution. If Xiao Fang hadn’t dodged quickly, the bubble solution would have splashed all over him.

    The key was that this bratty child showed no remorse at all. Instead, he said arrogantly, “What are you dodging for? You have to take my bubble water!”

    Xiao Fang was almost amused by this. “Whose child are you?”

    “I’m your daddy!” the child said, with an “I’m the boss” look on his face. Before Xiao Fang could deal with him, Fei Xiangnan pulled Xiao Fang to his side, his face extremely grim. He didn’t give any face at all and said, “Get lost!”

    When Fei Xiangnan was angry, he always had an aura around him that even adults couldn’t stand, let alone a small child. The child, who had never been spoken to harshly before, was so scared that he plopped onto the ground and started wailing.

    “Bastard, you group of bastards, how dare… how dare you talk to me like that!”

    Both Grandpa and Grandma showed displeasure on their faces. This child was too ill-mannered.

    Fei Xiangnan watched without a shred of guilt, not even wanting to bother with him. He took the group and prepared to go inside.

    “Ah!” a sharp female voice cried from inside, followed by the rapid clicking of high heels, which made Xiao Fang’s temples throb.

    “Yi Yi! Who bullied you!” A woman in a bright red short skirt came out, her face so white it was reflective. Just as she was about to seek justice for her child, she saw Fei Xiangnan’s extremely dark face and immediately reined in her arrogance.

    “Oh my, President Fei, you’re finally here. This… what just happened?” the woman said, looking embarrassed.

    Xiao Fang looked at his old husband questioningly. Fei Xiangnan whispered to him, “Zhang Yuliu’s sister-in-law.”

    Oh~ no wonder.

    “Mommy, that idiot told me to get lost! Aaaah!” The little boy named Yi Yi cried even more unrestrainedly when he saw his mother.

    The woman looked embarrassed.

    Xiao Fang didn’t want to make a big scene as soon as he arrived. He stepped forward and said, “It’s better for children not to run around with bubble solution. It wouldn’t be good if it spilled on someone,” implying that her son had almost spilled it on him.

    The woman’s expression changed, showing a hint of misunderstanding. She quickly helped her son up. “Children are just being mischievous. Please don’t take it to heart, President Fei. Come, come, you’re back, so let’s go inside.” The woman’s eyes only saw Fei Xiangnan, and her tone carried a hint of contempt, completely ignoring Xiao Fang and his grandparents.

    Xiao Fang rolled his eyes in his heart. Is this your house?

    The woman took her child inside, and he could still hear a few sentences from afar: “Mommy, that bastard told me to get lost!”

    “Alright, alright, our Yi Yi left to give them face. We don’t need to bother with them.”

    “Right, right, I was giving him face!”

    The voices faded into the distance…

    Xiao Fang and Fei Xiangnan exchanged a look, as if they could both see the thousand-word expletive in each other’s eyes.

    There are monsters every year, but this year, there are exceptionally many!
