Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

"Mom, I'm not hurt, I'm just a little dizzy from being hit on the head." At this moment, Xia Rongliu wasn't worried about her head, but instead looked at the cat that Lin Yue was holding in her arms with bright eyes.

Seeing that Xia Rongliu was unharmed, Lin Yue was slightly relieved and looked down at the thing in her arms. It was a cat, a very beautiful white cat with eyes that were a deep sapphire blue, and pink paw pads. Perhaps because it was a stray cat, its white fur and pink paw pads were covered with some dirt.

Xia Rongliu was still holding the flower seedlings and seeds in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on the white cat. "Mom, how about we take this cat back with us?"

The white cat nestled in Lin Yue's arms without fear, seemingly finding Lin Yue's embrace much more comfortable than the hard tiles on the roof. It rolled over and continued sleeping.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Okay, this kitten sleeps just like you. Let's take it home as fate."

Back home, Xia Rongliu tossed the seedlings and seeds by the fence, then carefully took the kitten from Lin Yue's arms and went into her house.

Knowing they were going to the market today, Xia Rongliu had prepared the bed yesterday, placing the white cat in a cotton and linen nest. Turning to Lin Yue, she said, "We said we were going to buy a cat today, and it just fell from the sky."

Lin Yue patted Xia Rongliu's little head. "Have you thought of a name for it yet? Like... Little Yinyin?"

"Mommy's naughty! This cat loves to sleep so much, let's name it Sleepy." Xia Rongliu crossed her arms in front of her chest, praying in her mind that her body would grow up quickly. It's not easy to pretend to be young.

"Go wash it when it wakes up. I'm going to talk to your father about something." Lin Yuexia and Rong Liu finished speaking and left.

"What?! You've already made the reservations?" Xia Zhishu said with surprise and delight. He knew Lin Yue was making preparations, but he didn't expect her to do it so quickly.

Lin Yue's voice was indifferent. "What? You don't believe me?"

"No, no, I was hoping to find some time to discuss it with you," Xia Zhishu said with a forced smile.

"By the time you come to discuss this with me, the birthday celebration will probably be over. Go and invite some close relatives now, and don't tell Mother yet..." Lin Yue said in an organized manner. Xia Zhishu looked at Lin Yue and suddenly felt a lump in his throat, as if tears were about to well up in his eyes.

As Lin Yue was talking, she noticed that Xia Zhishu's expression was off. "Why are you crying?" Lin Yue went over to wipe Xia Zhishu's tears.

Xia Zhishu held Lin Yue's hands and explained, "It's nothing, I just feel... that being able to marry you is the greatest blessing I've ever had in my life. I thank God for letting me meet you."

A heartfelt confession made Lin Yue blush. "Meeting you is my blessing..."

Xia Rongliu happily rubbed the white cat. After a while, the white cat gradually opened its eyes. Xia Rongliu happily picked up the white cat and said, "Juejue is awake from sleep. Juejue is going to take a bath."

Juejue: ... "Meow—"

Before she knew it, it was Grandma Xia's birthday. The sun was shining brightly but not too hot—a perfect day. Grandma Xia stretched and lazily opened her eyes to find Lin Yue's face magnified right in front of her.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh—" Old Mrs. Xia was truly startled and glared angrily at Lin Yue, "What are you doing? Are you making a scene like a ghost so early in the morning?!"

Lin Yue smiled helplessly and held up the red burial clothes in front of Old Madam Xia. "Mother, get up and get dressed."

Grandma Xia has never liked red. Except for the occasional flamboyant occasion when she was young and celebrating a happy event, she doesn't like bright colors now that she's older. Her wardrobe is full of mature and steady colors, and her most frequently worn item is a light brown jacket.

"I won't wear your red. Who would wear this at my age?" Old Mrs. Xia said disdainfully, then touched her own clothes.

"Mother, today is your birthday, your fiftieth birthday. You must have forgotten. Wear this." Lin Yue presented the clothes to Old Madam Xia again.

When Old Lady Xia heard "fiftyth birthday", she was clearly taken aback. Her hand holding the clothes paused, and she turned to look at the bright red funeral clothes again. This time, half of the character "寿" (longevity) was visible on the clothes.

Old Mrs. Xia finally couldn't resist and came out wearing that red funeral shroud. Upon exiting the door, she was stunned again by the sight of the courtyard full of guests and the fluttering red ribbons.

After learning from Xia Zhishu that Lin Yue had orchestrated all of this, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart. But if she had any conscience at all, she wouldn't have made things difficult for Lin Yue later.

As everyone was toasting, Aunt Wang ran up to Old Lady Xia and said, "You're really living the good life now. Your son is filial and capable, and your daughter-in-law is smart and polite. If it were any other family's daughter, and you treated her like that before, who knows how ugly things would have been."

Old Lady Xia looked a little awkward, but she still listened.

At this moment, Xia Zhishu came over with Xia Rongliu and Lin Yue in her arms. "Mother, I wish you health and peace year after year." Xia Rongliu also said in a sweet voice, "I wish Grandma a long and healthy life."

Grandma Xia's face lit up with a smile. "Health, health, may everyone be healthy and safe!" she said, then raised her teacup and drank first, and the relatives present also joined in the fun.

Out of sight, Xia Zhishu nudged Lin Yue. Lin Yue understood and stepped forward. Old Madam Xia quieted down and watched Lin Yue, wondering what she would do next.

Lin Yue took out a jewelry box from her sleeve and handed it to Grandma Xia. "Mom, this is a gift I picked out at Fuxi Store. Happy birthday!"

Seeing that her mother was holding the box without moving, Xia Zhishu said, "Mother, quickly open it and see if you like it."

Old Mrs. Xia slowly opened the jewelry box, feeling her heart tremble, the sensation coursing through her body and even her hands shaking. Inside the box was a pair of jade pendant earrings, of the finest quality, with round jade beads the size of a fingernail radiating luster.

"This must be so expensive..." Old Lady Xia looked at Lin Yue with complicated eyes.

"It is our blessing to be able to be filial to you. May things in this family get better and better."

"It's getting better and better. It would be even better if you could give me a grandson next year." Old Mrs. Xia said this without thinking, as if it had become a habit. Even if her heart had changed, her mouth still wouldn't admit it.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, but Aunt Wang stepped in and said, "Let nature take its course. The young couple is still young, there's no need to rush this."

The rest of the time was spent in harmony and great joy. Xia Rongliu even cuddled up to her mother, holding Juejue.

"Grandma, look at me, isn't my little one super cute and super pretty?"

Old Mrs. Xia looked at the cat with disdain, "It's a white cat, but if it gets anything on it, it's a dirty little cat."

"Oh dear, Juejue just had a bath, Grandma, feel her." Xia Rongliu used every trick in the book to be affectionate while she was still young.

As Grandma Xia said to take her hand away, she kept touching Juejue and wouldn't let go. Juejue gave Grandma Xia a disdainful look, and Grandma Xia immediately withdrew her hand, pretending that nothing had happened.

Xia Rongliu found it amusing; her mouth said no, but her body was quite honest.
