Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 21 This kind of thing requires more effort from men.
Grandpa Ji personally cooked breakfast early in the morning and even made three poached eggs with brown sugar for Ye Cheng.
If it weren't for his grandson's repeated instructions, he would have already moved all the top-grade bird's nest, golden croaker maw, and rare Tianjiu shark fin from his home over.
Nowadays, young girls are all dieting until they are skin and bones, pale and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow them over.
Grandpa Ji still prefers plump and round-faced girls like Ye Cheng.
What's even more remarkable is that this granddaughter-in-law isn't picky about food and has a good appetite, so she'll definitely be able to give the Ji family several chubby great-grandchildren.
By then, the old man wouldn't ask for anything more; he would be content just to be able to spend his days with his great-grandchildren.
As he thought about it, the old man burst out laughing to himself.
At this moment, the door to the master bedroom opened.
Ye Cheng and Ji Lingfeng walked out one after the other.
Grandpa Ji subconsciously looked up.
The granddaughter-in-law looked radiant, her fair skin glowing with a moist luster, even more radiant than yesterday.
Looking at his grandson, he was still as handsome and aloof as ever, but his face looked a little haggard, and there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well.
It seems this kid was exhausted last night.
Plus, I don't have much experience yet.
However, this kind of thing requires more effort from men.
Grandpa Ji became even more convinced of his idea and secretly rejoiced.
"Grandpa, you've made breakfast!"
Ye Cheng pursed her lips and said apologetically, "We overslept today because it's our day off."
Ye Cheng felt a little guilty that the elderly people were busy with farm work in the countryside and that she had to cook for them after they came here.
Grandpa Ji said with a smile:
"Grandpa gets up early, he's used to it, and he has nothing else to do anyway."
The old man was very pleased with the word "we" in his granddaughter-in-law's words!
"You young people work hard during the week and rarely get a weekend off. You should sleep as much as you can. Eating well and sleeping well will keep you healthy."
As Grandpa Ji spoke, he gave his grandson a meaningful look.
Ji Lingfeng's forehead veins throbbed as he avoided his grandfather's gaze and sat down at the dining table.
The old man seems to be in a particularly good mood today.
The three people sat around the table and began to eat breakfast.
"Grandpa, why am I the only one with eggs? Lingfeng will think you're being unfair."
Ye Cheng looked at the breakfast on the table; in front of her was a bowl of brown sugar poached eggs.
Grandpa Ji said with a knowing smile:
"Chengcheng, this brat doesn't know how good he has it and doesn't appreciate it, so Grandpa has to be a little biased!"
Ye Cheng ate the fragrant fried egg with gusto, feeling a bit sentimental.
When she was little, Ye Sheng would get two poached eggs every time her family cooked them, but she never got even half one.
Once, when she was really craving eggs, she scared Ye Sheng by saying that eating too many eggs would cause stones to grow in his stomach. Ye Sheng actually believed her and gave her the remaining poached egg in his bowl.
Ye Cheng happily picked up the bowl, ready to start eating, but her grandfather saw her and snatched the bowl away.
"You little brat, you're such a glutton! It's a waste to feed you anything now. If you're so capable, you can have your in-laws cook for you after you get married!"
Grandpa took the fried egg away, grumbling and cursing.
In the end, although Ye Cheng didn't get to eat the fried egg, she secretly ate the remaining egg crumbs in the bowl.
Unexpectedly, her grandfather, who favored sons over daughters, had his words come true; she really did get to eat poached eggs cooked by this cheap grandfather himself at her husband's house.
"Grandpa, you love me so much! This brown sugar poached egg is so delicious!"
Ye Cheng finished eating the egg with a happy expression.
Grandpa Ji smiled smugly:
"Of course, these are free-range chicken eggs laid by my grandfather. These chickens roam all over the mountains and eat insects, millet and fruit, so their eggs are big and fragrant."
"Chengcheng, if you finish these, Grandpa will bring more next time. Grandpa would love to have all the fish in the house..."
"Bring all the fish, ducks, chickens, and lambs over! Free-range poultry taste so much better than what you buy outside!"
Grandpa Ji almost blurted out "shark fin and bird's nest," but he glanced at his grandson and stopped himself in time.
Ji Lingfeng silently lowered his head and ate the breakfast his grandfather had made.
At this moment, he actually missed the pumpkin pancakes and pan-fried buns that Ye Cheng had made yesterday morning.
"Grandpa, when you have time, let's go to the countryside to visit you, and also see where Lingfeng grew up."
Although she and Ji Lingfeng were only husband and wife in name, Ye Cheng also wanted to play the role of a good wife in front of Grandpa Ji.
Grandpa Ji is good to her; even just pleasing the old man is a good thing.
"Okay, okay! Chengcheng, Grandpa has several hundred..."
Grandpa Ji got so excited that he almost revealed the Ji family's hundreds of acres of mountain land.
Although it wasn't where his grandson grew up, it was a place his grandson bought for him to enjoy his retirement.
Grandpa Ji glanced at his grandson and quickly changed his words:
"Grandpa has hundreds of chickens in the countryside, and he can collect a lot of free-range eggs every day! When are you coming?"
Ye Cheng and Grandpa Ji both looked at Ji Lingfeng with questioning eyes.
Ji Lingfeng paused slightly, then frowned and replied perfunctorily, "Well, let's talk about it another time."
Ye Cheng suddenly remembered that Ji Lingfeng was currently having a headache over work and probably wasn't in the mood.
He then chimed in, "Grandpa, let's discuss it and make arrangements later."
"Alright, you two can discuss it yourselves. Go whenever you're free. Grandpa welcomes you anytime."
Grandpa Ji beamed with joy, and Ye Cheng's words, "Let's discuss it," made the old man feel incredibly relieved.
"Chengcheng, Lingfeng is going out with me for a while to buy something."
Ye Cheng's subordinate paused, then picked up the conversation:
"Grandpa, what do you want to buy? I'll go with you."
Grandpa Ji said meaningfully, "Chengcheng, you rest at home. I'll have Ling Feng accompany me."
Ji Lingfeng's deep eyes flickered. He was going to the auction house with his grandfather today.
Ye Cheng nodded: "Then I'll prepare lunch at home and wait for you to come back to eat."
After breakfast, the grandfather and grandson took the elevator downstairs to the parking lot.
Inside the elevator, Grandpa Ji stared intently at his grandson, smiling without saying a word.
Ji Lingfeng felt a chill run down his spine from his grandfather's gaze.
The old man has been behaving strangely ever since he woke up this morning.
"Kid, do you want me to give Butler Yang a heads-up and ask the kitchen to make you some nourishing soup?"
After saying that, Grandpa Ji's smile deepened, with a hint of mockery.
Ji Lingfeng's forehead veins throbbed.
"Grandpa, I know what I'm doing."
He's not stupid; of course he knows what his grandfather is teasing him about.
Rather than being coerced by Grandpa's soft and hard tactics, it's better to go with the flow and do as the old man says.
The old man was happy, and he also wanted some peace and quiet.
"It's good to know the number."
Grandpa Ji nodded in satisfaction and continued reciting:
"This is physically demanding. Even if you're still young, you won't be able to handle it in a long time. Men need to take care of themselves and can't push themselves too hard, otherwise..."
Grandpa Ji coughed twice and said earnestly, "Otherwise, your wife will have a problem with you."
Ji Lingfeng's forehead veins throbbed again.
Grandpa is worrying too much.
