That night, after dinner, Zu Qi was packing his luggage in the bedroom when he received a call from Liu Jing.
Liu Jing, who had always been straightforward and clear-cut, hesitated for a long time, and went around tactfully several times before slowly broaching the topic: “It’s about the apple you gave me to eat that day. Can I know where you bought it?”
Without waiting for Zu Qi’s answer, Liu Jing hurriedly added, “I really need those apples now. You might think I’m superstitious, but it’s true that the acne on my face gradually disappeared after I ate the apples you gave me.”
As if she was afraid that Zu Qi would not believe her, Liu Jing also said that they could make an appointment to have a cup of coffee and she could let Zu Qi take a look at the condition of her skin. Anyway, Zu Qi knew how bad her skin quality was before.
After Liu Jing finished talking, Zu Qi slowly said, “My friend planted the apples himself. If you want, I can ask my friend for you.”
“Really? That’s really great. Thank you.” Liu Jing was overjoyed and said, “No matter how much it costs, I can accept it.”
After hanging up the phone, Zu Qi put down the things he was packing and went downstairs to look through the storage cabinet in the kitchen. He couldn’t find the apples Xiaoya had put there.
Weng Yuxiang was watching TV in the living room with Xue Wanwan in her arms. After hearing the sound of him rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the kitchen, she came over and asked doubtfully: “Xiao Qi, what are you looking for?”
“The apples Xiaoya put in the cabinet.” Zu Qi patted the unnecessary dust off his hands and said to himself, “I must have finished eating them.”
“Oh, you said apples…” Weng Yuxiang’s cheeks turned red and she said rather embarrassedly, “Maybe it’s because I ate them all. Those apples taste really good. Where did you buy them? I’ll ask Butler Zhang to buy some more.”
“I’ll tell my friend later.” Zu Qi said.
Weng Yuxiang was stunned and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t notice the inventory getting over. If you want to eat apples now, why not ask Butler Zhang to buy some other apples instead?”
Zu Qi smiled and waved his hand and said no, he really didn’t want to eat apples, but he just suddenly wanted to try since he got to know that those apples indeed worked. They were gone here, so he could just go to space to get some.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t been to space for a long time, and he didn’t know how the three auspicious treasures were doing.
At this time, Butler Zhang, Xiaoya and other servants had gone back to their rooms to rest. Zu Qi thought about it and was too embarrassed to knock on the door and call someone to prepare midnight snacks, so he collected a lot of snacks from the locker and prepared to take them back to his bedroom.
When passing by Weng Yuxiang, Zu Qi took a special look at her face, and was surprised to find that Weng Yuxiang’s skin was more than one level better than before.
After all, Weng Yuxiang was the pampered wife of the Xue family. Even if she was no longer valued by Xue Yanjing, she had never been deprived of food, clothing and other luxuries. In addition, she often went to beauty salons for maintenance. She looked like she was around forty.
Of course, this was still the situation two or three months ago.
Now Weng Yuxiang’s skin was white and rosy, as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg. It was not at all like the skin condition that she should have at this age.
In addition, Weng Yuxiang had exquisite facial features and a gentle temperament. It was not difficult to see that she was a gorgeous beauty when she was young. Now, under the warm yellow light, she looked like she had stepped out of an anime.
Zu Qi was surprised. He knew that the apples brought from space could improve skin quality, but he did not expect that the effect would be so obvious.
If Xue Yanjing saw Weng Yuxiang like this, he didn’t know how he would react, or whether he would regret taking Sun Fei away at that time…
Zu Qi was suddenly very curious.
Back in the bedroom, Zu Qi held a lot of snacks in his arms and pulled out the jade hanging around his neck from his sweater with one hand. He closed his eyes for just a moment. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had already switched to a space with green grass and blue sky.
“Brother Zu Qi!” The voice of the three auspicious treasures suddenly sounded in his ears.
Zu Qi turned around and saw the three auspicious treasures surrounding him.
The three little guys were looking up at Zu Qi angrily with their little heads raised. Their bulging cheeks were like steamed buns that had just come out of the cage. Zu Qi couldn’t help but want to reach out and poke them.
Because Zu Qi was so poisoned by the words “Come on, brother” before, Zu Qi even dreamed of the Auspicious Three Treasures’ unauthentic Northeastern accent, so he forcibly changed the way he greeted the three little children.
Later, through Zu Qi’s unremitting efforts, he finally changed from “little brother” to “big brother Zu Qi”. It was not easy.
Zu Qi put the big bag of snacks in front of the three auspicious treasures, then knelt down and looked at them, and found that they had not changed at all after two months, and even the clothes on their bodies were still the same.
“Sorry, I’ve been a little busy recently and haven’t been able to take time to see you.” Zu Qi clasped his hands together and apologized sincerely.
In fact, it wasn’t that he couldn’t find time to enter the space. It was just that after moving back to Xue’s house from the hospital, he and Xue Jue lived in the same bedroom. There was no privacy at all in their lives. He was very afraid of being discovered by Xue Jue.
If it weren’t for today’s confirmation that Xue Jue would stay in the company and work overtime all night, he wouldn’t have dared to blatantly enter the space in the bedroom.
“Huh, brother Zu Qi, you don’t keep your word. You also said you would come to see us often, but what happened? We are almost waiting to be married.” Dabao pouted dissatisfiedly.
Sanbao echoed: “That’s right, it’s so cold here. The three of us will be frozen into popsicles.”
Erbao was as obedient and well-behaved as ever. The little one blinked his watery gray eyes and quietly nestled between his elder brother and his younger brother.
Zu Qi was dumbfounded by Dabao and Sanbao’s complaints. He repeatedly promised that he would come and play with them often in the future, so that he could save his ears that were about to develop calluses.
Although the three auspicious treasures were old enough to be Zu Qi’s grandfather, after all, they were just seven or eight-year-old children mentally. Zu Qi coaxed them with snacks for a while, and the three little babies became happy.
He didn’t know if it was because of Xue Wanwan, but Zu Qi, a new father, looked at the soft and chubby faces of the auspicious three treasures, and the father’s love in his heart suddenly surged like the tide.
An adult and three children thus sat on the lawn for about half an hour, all shivering in the cold wind. Then Dabao suggested taking Zu Qi to sit at their house.
The Three Auspicious Treasures had said this several times before, but Zu Qi rejected them every time.
At that time, Zu Qi didn’t want to disturb the Auspicious Three Treasures clan members too presumptuously, but now he intended to discuss a matter with those people, and he would have to pay them a visit sooner or later.
The home of the Three Auspicious Treasures was not too far or too close from here, and they had to pass through the dense woods in front of them.
Zu Qi didn’t know the way, so he followed quietly behind the three auspicious treasures. Each of the three auspicious treasures held small piles of snacks assigned to them, hummed happily, and jumped up and down as they walked.
“Brother Zu Qi, over there.” Erbao suddenly reached out and pointed in a direction.
