A virtual princess? She's a real princess!
Chapter 9 Arrived Home
The convoy drove uphill and stopped in front of the Bian family mansion. A row of servants stood in front of the mansion to welcome the young lady and young master home for the first time.
Although it was Bian Xiao and Bian He's first time in Hong Kong, the Bian family elders would frequently fly to the US to visit the two children. So when they saw the elders sitting on the sofa, Bian Xiao and Bian He rushed towards them with their little legs.
Bian Lihong held Bian Xiao in his arms, patting him from head to toe, examining him carefully. "Grandma's little darling, your mother really doesn't know how to take care of a child. So many people couldn't look after him properly. He's lost so much weight, all the flesh on his face is gone."
"Grandma, I'm doing great! Look how chubby I am!" Bian Xiao said with a smile, snuggling up to his grandmother and acting coquettishly.
"Has Xiao He grown taller?" Bian He was being half-embraced by her great-grandmother, Zhong Daiyi.
Although she is 86 years old, the once-famous eldest daughter of the Zhong family in Shanghai still exudes elegance and grace. She wore a black brocade cheongsam, a three-layered pearl necklace, and a pair of black pearl earrings that shimmered in her snow-white hair.
"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? Ah Hong, where are the snacks made in the kitchen?"
Zhong Daiyi was the most beautiful jewel in Shanghai. The Zhong family had more than a dozen boys, but only one legitimate daughter, Zhong Daiyi, and one illegitimate daughter, Zhong Daiyuan. Therefore, the Zhong sisters had a very good relationship, unlike the sisters in other families who fought each other to the death.
As a child, she was the most cherished flower among a sea of weeds. In her teenage years, she became famous in Shanghai and met Bian Zhansheng, the young master of the Bian family.
Her husband was so devoted to her that he never took a concubine, and even though she only had one daughter, Bian Lihong, her position remained as secure as a rock.
A smooth and happy life has also shaped Chung Tai-Yi's domineering personality, making her a woman of her word.
Bian Lihong was naturally groomed to be the heir of the Bian family, and his only daughter, Bian Yin, also received a strict elite education.
But grandparents love their grandchildren dearly. These two former strong women can't bring themselves to be fierce towards their grandchildren. They'll complain that they've lost weight and ask someone to bring them snacks.
"Xiaoxiao is hungry"
“I’m not hungry,” Bian He shook his head.
"Xiaoxiao is hungry. Grandma has prepared lots of snacks. They'll be here soon," Bian Lihong immediately coaxed.
Fu Ji patted his granddaughter's fluffy head. "Did you miss Grandpa?"
"Yes~" she replied sweetly. Bian Xiao reached out his hand. "Grandpa, hug Xiao Xiao." Grandma must be tired after hugging her for so long. It's Grandpa's turn. Bian Xiao said that he would share the love equally with everyone.
"Hey, Grandpa will hold you now," Fu Ji said, picking up his granddaughter.
On the other side, Bian He sat between Bian Zhansheng and Zhong Daiyi, being held in Zhong Daiyi's arms and having her hold his little hand as she asked him questions. The two elderly people were too old to carry the child.
"Rest at home tomorrow, you've been on the plane for so long," Zhong Daiyi said, touching Bian He's little face.
"Snacks are here, young lady." Ah Hong is an orphan girl adopted by Chung Tai-yee in Hong Kong. She swam across the river to Hong Kong and became Bian Yin's maid. She holds a high position in the Bian family.
Because she was usually serious and rarely smiled, when the princess was popular a few years ago, the maids would secretly say that she was Rong Momo.
But when Ah Hong saw that the young lady looked just like her mother when she was a child, her heart softened, and she spoke softly.
"Miss, would you like some pomelo and shrimp dumplings, or lychee balls?" Ah Hong gestured to the male servant to place the snacks on the table.
There are three layers in total, some shaped like grapefruits, some like lychees, and some like cute little chicks.
"What is this?" Bian Xiao was attracted by the chick, slid down from his grandfather's lap, pointed at the chick and asked Ah Hong.
This is Saltwater Corner.
"what about this?"
"Purple Sweet Potato and Chestnut Bun" is a pastry shaped like a corn cob.
The snacks were made to appeal to children; they were so cute that even Bian He, who wasn't hungry, came closer to try them.
The snacks were very small, only a quarter the size of a three-year-old's palm, which made them look even more delicate.
Bian Xiao and Bian He ate snacks while Ah Hong and Uncle Fu took photos. After all, it was the young lady and young master's first time home, so they had to take lots of commemorative photos.
While eating, she was held in someone's arms and watched TV and ate snacks. Zhong Daiyi especially loved watching Princess Gege. Bian Xiao and Bian He watched with great interest. It can only be said that Xiao Yanzhi is quirky, unrestrained, and loved by everyone from the elderly to children.
The Bian family father and daughter, along with Fu Ji, weren't particularly interested. They chatted about the newspaper and recent events in a harmonious and warm atmosphere. Soon it was 10:30, and everyone in the room, young and old, was tired.
"Ah Hong, find someone to take good care of Xiao Xiao and Ah He," Bian Lihong said to Ah Hong.
Ah Hong nodded and said, "Madam, arrangements have been made for Xiao Jia and Xiao Hao."
Xiao Jia and Xiao Hao were already standing at the living room door. Upon hearing this, they went over, picked up the two sleepy children, and took the elevator up to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor has rooms for three children: one for Lu Yihe and two for the twins.
Hot water was already in the bathtub. Lilith bathed Bian Xiao, while Xiao Jia assisted Lilith, secretly noting down Bian Xiao's habits.
Knowing that Bian Xiao likes greenery and forests, Bian's parents specially hired a children's designer to renovate the room.
The overall theme is a fairy tale forest. The bed is made into a tree hole bed, the floor is covered with a soft carpet that looks like grass, the stools are small tree stumps with rounded edges, and there are many animal dolls around it.
Bian Xiao fell in love with the bedroom the moment he entered, especially with a corner piled high with dolls. He pounced on it, exclaiming, "Lilith! It looks just like the pile of toys in Spirited Away!"
On Gu An's bed, at the head and foot of the bed, and on the side of the bed, there was a pile of dolls. Bian Xiao sometimes saw them and couldn't help but feel envious. She originally thought she wasn't interested in dolls, but after watching Spirited Away and Lilith mentioning them, she saw the pile of dolls today, and Bian Xiao was bubbling with happiness.
This feeling of being loved by family is so wonderful, it makes Bian Xiao want to cry.
Lilith watched as Bian Xiao fiddled around and had a blast inside.
Tired from playing, she lay on the pile of dolls, wearing a white dress, with black curly hair, emerald-like glasses, rosy lips, a chubby little chin, and a small, pert nose, just like a doll in the pile.
"Okay, Della, if you don't go to sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow!"
"Yes, Miss, the Master just said he'd take you to have some delicious dim sum," Xiao Jia said, having already gotten to know the Miss a little better after her bath. "The Master, Madam, and Madam all really love their shrimp wontons."
Bian Xiao was also sleepy. Lilith picked him up, put him on the bed, covered him with a small blanket, and after sweetly saying goodnight to Lilith and Xiao Jia, he drifted off to sleep while looking at the tiny butterflies shimmering among the green plant decorations.
Bian Lihong and his wife were still awake. Fu Ji was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, while Bian Lihong lay on the bench with his eyes closed, doing his bedtime routine.
"Let's take Xiaoxiao and Ahe to Beijing to visit Ahe in a while."
“Ahe should be on winter break soon. How about we take Dad and Mom to Beijing for the New Year this year?” Fu Ji turned to the next page of the newspaper and continued, “I wonder how Ahe is doing at university. He always says he’s doing well on the phone. This is Ahe’s first time staying in a dormitory.”
"Ahe's personality is like her father's, calm and composed, don't worry." Bian Lihong said with regret when Lu Yihe's father, Lu Yuan, was mentioned. "A Yuan is such a good child, and the Lu family has such a good family tradition. Unlike Lesmondia, I can't accept their family's traditions."
When the two sons-in-law are mentioned, Fu Ji actually prefers the first one, the Lu family, but "Yin Yin prefers Norris."
"If A Yuan were still here, how could he have gotten the chance to go to Noresis?" Bian Lihong couldn't help but roll his eyes. After all, Yin Yin and A Yuan had truly loved each other and it was a free love relationship.
Fu Ji frowned when he saw the sarcastic news article published by the second branch of the Lin family in the newspaper. He continued, "There's Yin Yin, and that child, Wei'er, is 15 years older than Xiao Xiao. Besides, tradition depends on the individual; it's not like it used to be."
"Yin Yin called me the day before yesterday and said she was thinking of sending Xiao Xiao and A He to study in Beijing. The mainland does indeed have a bright future, and Hong Kong is already full," Fu Jihe said as he put his glasses back in their case after appearing in the newspaper.
“The child still needs to be with her mother. I think it’s fine to go to Beijing, but what about Norresis? Is he willing to let her go?” Although he was not very satisfied with his son-in-law’s family, Norresis truly loved his daughter Yin Yin and the twins like treasures.
"Look at that young couple."
“Go to Beijing and cultivate your relationship with Ahe. By the way, Kerry, has the master's schedule been finalized?” Bian Lihong asked.
“Master Luo said the 18th of this month is an auspicious day,” Kerry replied immediately.
Bian Lihong nodded slightly.
"We have to make sure our little Ma and Xiao He's first party is a big success."
The massage therapists and nurses worked silently on the sidelines, listening to countless words but not letting a single one linger in their minds. They were just waiting to finish their work and leave quickly.
