Daily Life of the Wealthy

Chapter 13

The arrangement in the room was comfortable and stylish, the scented rosewood furniture emitting a faint fresh fragrance.
Grandmother Mu had already prepared snacks and tea for her grandchildren. She brewed the sour plum tea herself. The sour and sweet feel was extremely tasty. For snacks, they had yam and glutinous rice cakes, freshly steamed. There was a layer of shredded coconut on top, the fragrance assaulting the nostrils.
After Grandmother Mu resigned, she enjoyed staying at home and baking these snacks. However, she only made them for her grandchildren. Outsiders didn't get this opportunity.
Mu Yixi and Mu Yixuan both liked sweets. Grandmother Mu baked her snacks using natural materials. It was sweet but not greasy. In his two lives, he'd always like these snacks. He didn't get to see Grandmother Mu that often. She had been protected by Mu Jingwei for life. Despite wearing an upper-class woman's temperament and she was also intelligent, she was in fact just a simple woman. She treated her grandchildren kindly. Grandmother Mu adored Mu Yiqi the most. Because Mu Yixi and Mu Yiqi looked similar, she treated him pleasantly. Therefore, Mu Yixi didn't place her probing in his heart. He knew that Mu Jingwei and Grandmother Mu wanted to see Mrs. Mu's reaction. He was still young, so they didn't place him in their hearts.
Mu Yixi ate the snacks with Mu Yiqi and Mu Yixuan in comfort. Likewise, both of them enjoyed Grandmother Mu's snacks a lot. The three ate the snacks in satisfaction.

"Slow down. Don't choke on the food." Seeing that the children enjoyed eating the food, Grandmother Mu revealed a smile. She patted each one of their backs and told them to slow down. When it was Mu Yixi's turn, she did the same. Mu Yixi's cheeks were puffed up from the food. Shredded coconut got on the corner of his lips. He smiled shyly at her, leading her to feel tender towards him. Grandmother Mu couldn't help but pat his head.
Glutinous rice was hard to digest. Grandmother Mu didn't want them to eat that much. Each person had two pieces before she told the servants to take the plate away. She then had them drink tea and digest the snacks.
Mu Jingwei waited for them to finish eating before calling them over one by one to make inquiries. He basically asked them what they had learned and if they made any friends, as well as any interesting events that happened recently. Mu Yiqi and Mu Yixuan answered the questions casually and simply.
They were lively and easy to get along with. Clearly, they had answered these questions before. Mu Jingwei asked in a gentle tone. He didn't prompt them nor did he tell him to sit up properly. It was relaxing. They seemed like ordinary grandchildren and grandparents.
Mu Jingwei was knowledgeable and talented, open-minded and intelligent. He received Mu Yiqi and Mu Yixuan's admiration in just a few simple words. No wonder Mu Yiqi and Mu Yixuan never refused to come to the residence to meet their grandparents. After all, they viewed Mu Jingwei as their role model.
Mu Yixi wore a straight and stiff face. He couldn't help but make remarks inside his heart in order to shift his attention and become less nervous. He was a bit scared of facing Mu Jingwei.
After Mu Jingwei finished asking Mu Yiqi and Mu Yixuan, as expected, he smiled and indicated for Mu Yixi to come over. Mu Yixi's heart thumped rapidly and he subconsciously turned around to look at Mrs. Mu. She sat by Grandmother Mu's side, encouragingly nodding her head. But she clearly couldn't help him with anything else. After all, Mu Jingwei was Mrs. Mu's parent-in-law. As his daughter-in-law, she couldn't really question his decisions.
At this time, Mu Jingwei had taken off his presbyopic glasses, looking at him carefully. He wore a gentle smile as if the indifferent and interrogating expression on his face before was Mu Yixi's illusion. If Mu Yixi was really a six-years old boy, he'd definitely be deceived. However, Mu Yixi wasn't. At this time, he clearly realized that no matter how hard he pretended to be six-years old, he wasn't really six-years old.
"Don't be nervous. I won't eat you." Mu Jingwei blinked his eyes in amusement. "You're Yixi, right?" Mu Jingwei faced Mu Yixi, not asking the questions he'd done for his other two grandchildren.
"Yes, grandfather." Mu Yixi suddenly calmed down.
Ming Jingwei asked, "Do you like Xiao Qi and Xiao Xuan's family?"
Xiao Qi and Xiao Xuan's family...
Mu Yixi's heart skipped a beat. He looked at him openly and replied, "I do."
Mu Jingwei's white brows slightly moved. "Do you like Xiao Qi and Xiao Xuan?"
Mu Yixi nodded. "I do."
