My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 561: Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother

Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother

"Qi, you’ve really changed a lot. Are you..." Yuran didn’t finish her sentence, sensing that he had become considerably more rogue in just a few days.

Bo Yan stared at her flushed face, his eyes deep and intensely hot, an irrepressible heat within them. Yuran quickly looked away, "Don’t start anything; my back still hurts from last night."

Bo Yan laughed, his breath hot on her ear, "Baby, I haven’t even done anything yet. What are you worried about?"

Yuran’s face turned even redder, and she hastily stood up and walked toward the living room, Bo Yan watched her angry back with a chuckle.

After arranging the ingredients neatly, he washed some fruit and brought it out, sitting next to her, "Want some cherries?"

He fed her a cherry directly to her lips, and Yuran ate it, no longer minding the prior matter.

They discussed, "Shall we BBQ in the yard tonight?"

Having a private courtyard was great; even if they were outdoors, there was no worry about disturbing the neighbors, especially given the vast distance between the villas.

This was really nice.

Bo Yan didn’t refuse; indeed, it was the simplest and yet richest dinner.

"Okay, I’ll get Auntie Li to come over later to marinate the ingredients, and we’ll pick up Zhizhi to come over earlier."

Yuran agreed.

She called Meng Qiuyan while Bo Yan informed Auntie Li. Upon receiving the orders, Auntie Li quickly arrived at their home. After giving her several instructions, Bo Yan led Yuran straight to the Imperial Inscription Platform.

Zhizhi was eagerly waiting at the Imperial Inscription Platform, holding pieces of Lego in his hands and occasionally glancing outside. Grandma Bo had cut many pieces of fruit and laid them out on a low table for him, but he had hardly touched any.

Seeing his constant glances outside, how could Grandma Bo not know what he was thinking, "Missing mom and dad?"

"Grandma, didn’t dad say he was coming to pick up Zhizhi just now? Why isn’t he here yet?"

Grandma Bo smiled, "It won’t be that quick. Wait a bit longer. Don’t you like staying at grandma’s house?"

"Of course not!" Zhizhi shook his head, "Mom said there’s a guest at home tonight, and Zhizhi needs to help entertain the guest too."

He said it with a bit of pride, amusing Grandma Bo. Grandpa Bo, who was rarely seen reading the newspaper in the living room, shifted his newspaper slightly at this remark, "Sweetheart, after the New Year, we’re planning to send you to kindergarten."

Zhizhi looked surprisingly at Grandpa Bo and responded, "Grandpa, will you come pick me up from kindergarten then?"

"The kindergarten is very close to here, and it’s fine if Grandpa doesn’t pick you up."

"But I’d really like if grandma and grandpa could pick me up."

Grandma Bo immediately assured, "Grandma will definitely come to pick you up. If grandpa doesn’t go, then never mind. In the future, you don’t have to play chess with grandpa either."

Zhizhi thought for a moment, "No, grandma, grandpa doesn’t have to pick up Zhizhi, but Zhizhi wants to play chess with grandpa."

Grandma Bo, bewildered, "Why?"

Zhizhi seriously thought it over, "Because Zhizhi wants to learn chess from grandpa, and later on defeat many others, making them his subordinates."

Grandpa Bo laughed heartily, extremely pleased with Zhizhi, while Grandma Bo was speechless. Getting a little praise and he’s already so proud?

As they were discussing, they heard a car horn from the yard. Zhizhi put down his Lego and ran outside, seeing Yuran getting out of the car and immediately called out from the doorway, "Mom."

Yuran smiled, walking towards Zhizhi, "Sweetie."

"You’re here?"

"Mom."

Yuran walked up to Zhizhi, called out "Aunt Bo," then bent down, picked Zhizhi up, and kissed her on the cheek. Zhizhi clung to her neck, thrilled, "Mom, have the guests arrived at home?"

"Two have arrived, Mom, we’ve taken Zhizhi back. Zhizhi, say goodbye to grandma."

"Goodbye, grandma. Zhizhi will come and see you again next time." He nestled in Yuran’s arms, waving at Aunt Bo happily, his tone childlike and polite.

Aunt Bo was reluctant to let him go, yet said nothing, just smiled faintly, "Go back soon, since there are guests at home. Wouldn’t it be easier to have Uncle Bo drop Zhizhi home?"

Yuran smiled, not responding, "Uncle Bo has his own things to do as well. We had nothing on, so we came straight to pick up Zhizhi. Mom, we’ll be leaving then."

"Okay, careful on the road."

...

At seven o’clock in the evening, the three Xi brothers appeared together at the Platinum Imperial Palace. Bo Yan looked at the three of them lined up, and Qiuyan opposite them, the corners of his lips twitching, "Are you here to recognize relatives or to act as mummies? Each one of you is stiffer than the last. Is recognizing a brother or sister that hard?

Efficiency doesn’t match my wife’s at all. She decisively recognized Qiuyan this morning, made Qiuyan, who is younger, call her sister. Are you impressed or what?

Now standing here sighing melodramatically. You don’t even dare recognize your own sister. Seriously, what a lack of accomplishment."

Xi Nian and the others remained unflustered, seemingly accustomed to Bo Yan’s way of speaking. Xi Nian took a step forward, standing in front of Meng Qiuyan, "Qiuyan, I’m your eldest brother, Xi Nian."

Xi Yan, "Qiuyan, I’m your second brother, Xi Yan."

Xi Yang, "I’m your third brother, Xi Yang."

Meng Qiuyan felt a sense of closeness seeing them, but it had been too long, and they were too estranged, she was somewhat hesitant to approach them, as if everything was a dream, having brothers and sisters overnight.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother."

"Yeah."

Psychologically prepped to say it out, what she thought was going to be difficult turned out quite amusing as all three responded simultaneously, prompting a slight laugh from her.

Yuran couldn’t help but laugh, "You guys formally recognize each other so officially. in fact, we, siblings, are not pretentious people, so no need for those formalities. Since we know we are siblings, we naturally should get together often from now on.

Brother Xi Nian, how are things at Huanya going?"

This awkward way of recognizing each other, better to quickly move past it, as everyone felt quite embarrassed.

Everyone knew why Yuran brought this up at this time, changing the subject, and conveniently, brought up what she wanted to know.

Xi Nian and the others gathered around the table, already familiar with Qi Younian, no need for introductions.

After sitting down, Xi Nian finally spoke, "The old man has suppressed the matter with Xi Gu and has now summoned him to London, so things might get a bit complicated going forward."

As he spoke, Xi Nian’s expression darkened terribly, Xi Yan and Xi Yang’s faces weren’t looking much better.

It was so gloomy it could drip with water.

Yuran understood, calmly turning the chicken wings on the grill, smiling, "The old man indeed has a penchant for favoritism. Apart from summoning Xi Gu back to London, are there other unusual matters?"

Xi Nian shook his head, "I don’t know."

Yuran, "Didn’t you say that the Xi family is the most ruthless? Why is the old man so different with him? Is it just because he’s the only son who survived?"

The three brothers thought her words were really harsh.

But they made a lot of sense. Could it be that the old man had changed as he aged?
