CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 295: TWO NEGATIVES MAKE A POSITIVE

Ye Xinluo weakly looked up at the sky, not wanting to comment anymore on Jingxi’s love for cake.

"Mommy, why are you ignoring me?" Seeing her ignore him, the little guy grumbled with dissatisfaction.

"Jingxi, this thing can’t be sold." Ye Xinluo explained.

"But this thing can be exchanged for a lot of cakes." The little guy stubbornly said.

Everyone: "Sweetheart, is the Beichen Family not feeding you? Why are you always thinking about cake?"

...

At this moment, Beichen Jue cleared his throat lightly and explained, "Jingxi, this thing can’t be sold. It’s our family heirloom. If you want cake, just ask Uncle Lin to buy some for you."

"Alright." Hearing his words, the little guy quickly nodded, his eyes rolled around, and in a tender voice, he asked, "Is this bracelet a family heirloom? Why does Mommy have it but Jingxi doesn’t?"

Beichen Jue was sweating. This little guy’s questions were really hard to handle. He thought for a while before he said, "Because it’s specifically for the granddaughter-in-law or daughter-in-law."

"What is a granddaughter-in-law, and what is a daughter-in-law? Will Jingxi have one in the future?" The little guy blinked his big eyes with a determined look, resolved to get to the bottom of it.

"You will." Beichen Jue broke out in a cold sweat. Weren’t they talking about the bracelet? How did it stray so far off topic?

"Do you like sweets?" Beichen Rui suddenly asked.

Ye Xinluo glanced at him, "Me?"

"Yes."

"I don’t. Do you like sweets?"

Beichen Rui shook his head, indicating he didn’t like them either. Both looked at Jingxi, pondering the same question. Why don’t the two of them like sweets, yet Jingxi treats them as his lifeline?

Could it be that two negatives make a positive?

At this moment, Housekeeper Lin, who had appeared unnoticed, brought a dessert and handed it to Jingxi, saying, "Young Master, this was made by the home chef. See if it tastes good?"

Jingxi took a look, and it seemed a bit different from the cakes he usually ate. Just about to reach for it, he suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Ye Xinluo, seemingly wanting to ask for her opinion.

Ye Xinluo smiled, and her meaning was clear. With her consent, the little guy immediately beamed, took the dessert, and had a bite.

A rich, creamy taste spread through his mouth, the dessert melting instantly, its flavor delightfully delicious.

Seeing that he liked it, Beichen Jue smiled and said, "Yesterday, Arui told me Jingxi likes sweets, so I had the kitchen prepare some. Seems like it suits the taste."

"Mm, mm." The little guy nodded heavily. This wasn’t just to his taste; it was absolutely perfect, okay?

Suddenly, the old man chuckled and said, "Xinluo girl, when are you and Arui planning to get married? Look, Jingxi is almost four years old. Shouldn’t you two start planning?"

Ye Xinluo was stunned, wanting to say something, "Well, Grandpa, I haven’t planned on getting married yet..."

"That’s not okay. How can it be okay not to get married? Housekeeper Lin, go find someone to check, find an auspicious day, and you can’t get married but you can register first."

This time, without asking Ye Xinluo’s opinion, he looked at Beichen Rui and said, "When the auspicious day is chosen, you and Xinluo will go get the marriage certificate, understand?"

The tone was completely commanding, without the slightest hint of courtesy, completely different from when addressing Ye Xinluo.

Beichen Rui didn’t think much of it and nodded seriously, "Alright, let me know when it’s chosen."
