The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 64: No privacy
Let's go celebrate with a slice of cake." She told him.
The two left Caishen where he was, forgetting to even invite him for cake. He sneered as he watched them leave.
Tch, so much for claiming to like me. How can she even forget the man she loves? He asked himself.
Just as this thought passed, Alix turned back with a stunning smile on her face.
"Hubby Zhang, aren't you coming with us?"
Caishen froze, for the second time in only a few minutes. So she had not forgotten about him, it seemed. He had jumped to conclusions a little too soon.
It was on the tip of his tongue to say no, after all, they had eaten cake the previous night. She was spoiling Xiaobo and he would turn into a little fatty if she kept it up.
"I am coming." He answered gruffly, surprising even himself.
"En." Alix answered, then she continued walking.
Xiaobo with a big smile on his face and his arms around Alix's neck was looking back at Caishen, not a worry in the world.
He noticed that Wang Ma was watching them as well, and the housekeeper took a picture.
"No privacy at all." He mumbled as he followed Alix and Xiaobo.
The picture Wang Ma had taken was seen by Yura, Caishen's mother in two minutes. She was holding a plate of mixed fruits in her hands and walking to the living room.
"Mother, see this, Xiaobo is acting like a baby."
She showed the picture of Alix and Xiaobo to grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang reached first for a pair of glasses which was sitting on the brown glass and marble table next to her.
She stretched her eyes, and held the phone up.
"Ooh, is that really Xiaobo?" She asked. A big smile appeared on her face, one filled with immense happiness.
"I can't believe he allowed himself to be carried. The last time I tried, he was six and he run from me."
Grandpa Zhang, too curious to wait walked over behind the sofa his wife was sitting in so that he could take a look at the picture as well.
"He looks very happy." Grandpa Zhang noted.
"Mmm." Yura confirmed. "Wang Ma told me that he is happier now. She takes him to school, picks him up, tucks him in bed and buys him snacks.
According to her, if he wanted, she would even bathe him. Apparently she tried once and Xiaobo run out of the bathroom to hide from her."
Yura laughed and so did the elder Zhangs as they pictured the scene in their minds.
"She has a motherly instinct even though she is not a mother herself. I told you all, Xi-Xi was the the perfect fit for our Caishen." Elder Zhang said, appreciative of all Alix was doing for Xiaobo.
Yura zoomed in on the picture and they saw Caishen in the background. "Caishen is smiling more and more as well. Wang Ma said that the house is filled with music, choas and noise.
Oh, by the way, Alix sent me this. It's Xiaobo's sports meet, she wants to know if we can all go?" She looked at the elders.
Grandma Zhang looked at Xiaobo's smiling face and she nodded. Normally, Xiaobo came over to stay with them on this day. He dodged sports events as if they were war. It seemed, he wanted to go this year.
What had caused this change? Was it Alix or something else?
"I will go, it's not as if she was doing anything important."
Grandpa Zhang had a meeting but he changed his mind.
"I will go as well. I should see for myself just how much he has changed."
They went back to looking at the picture, wondering why it was not a video. It would have been better if they could hear with their own ears the pearly laughter of their grandson.
Yura thought about something and she smiled.
"Mother, I forgot to tell you that Alix is a classic music composer. Director Ban, he is a famous movie director." She had to add that because they might know him, given their age.
"He paid her five million for her composition. I listened to it for only a minute but I was drawn in.
An-An was wrong, we didn't get the Lin family pigeon, we got the Phoenix. I was feeling so proud when she signed the contract. I now want to call up Jing Hee so badly and rub her face in Alix's success but the whole thing is hush hush for now."
Grandma Zhang smiled even more on learning that her granddaughter in-law was talented.
"Just wait until she makes a name for herself, those who were mocking and gossiping about Caishen for marrying her will eat their words." Yura added.

If anybody was rooting even more for Alix to succeed than she herself, it was Yura, her mother-in-law.
She could not wait to do some face slapping when the time came.
Grandpa Zhang's eyes became slightly wet and red. He looked away from them as he thought about something. After thirty seconds he looked at the image of Alix on the phone and sighed.
"It's not surprising that she has such a talent. She comes from a line of gifted singers, song writers and composers.
On her mother's side of the family that is. It's too bad that they are all gone and she is the only one left.
Heaven is really jealous of talented people."
"Doesn't she have us now? We are also considered to be her family. We will take care of her in Nan Feng's place." Grandma Zhang told her teary eyed husband.
"Anyway, what are we supposed to wear for this sports meet? I don't want to go wearing a dress when others are wearing sports outfits." She moved on to something else before her husband could start weeping for his dead friend.
Many years had gone by but he still had that Scar on his heart.
She winked at Yura and the other caught on quickly to what Grandma Zhang was attempting to do.
"Maybe we should print shirts with Xiaobo's face to show him how much we support him. Father, what do you think of that idea?" Yura successfully distracted grandpa Zhang with this suggestion.
