I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 169 - Full Moon Party

Chapter 169 -169 Full Moon Party

Just a few days away from Valentine’s Day, Yuan Xi wanted to buy a ring but couldn’t find a custom design, so she had to settle for whatever was available in the store.

She casually bought a men’s diamond ring that was in stock at the Cartier counter.

Yuan Xi put the diamond ring in her bag and continued shopping with Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan, taking into account that Yuan Xi had just come out of maternity confinement; thus, they rested more than they shopped.

When Yuan Xi returned to Yunsen Court, she couldn’t wait to see the two babies.

Huo Shiyuan followed her into the nursery and chuckled softly, “The kids aren’t going anywhere.”

Yuan Xi said, “It’s been four hours since I last saw Lele and An An.”

Yuan Xi picked up Lele and took a deep breath of the milky scent on him.

The full moon celebration for Lele and An An was set in a few days at the Shiyi Hotel. Although it was the children’s celebration, the two kids would not be going to the Shiyi Hotel.

Firstly, the children who had just come out of confinement were still frail, and secondly, there was fear that ill-intentioned people might target them.

The day before the full moon celebration.

Yuan Xi accompanied Huo Shiyuan to visit Fu Yixian in the hospital.

Inside Fu Yixian’s hospital room, it was very quiet, only occasionally interrupted by the sound of machines.

When they entered, Fu Yixian was already able to stand in front of the window looking out into the distance.

“Yixian.”

Fu Yixian turned his head, looking at Huo Shiyuan and the Yuan Xi next to him, his voice hoarse and his speech slightly slow, “Little Xi?”

“Brother Yixian,” Yuan Xi nodded and called out.

Fu Yixian let out a light chuckle, slowly saying, “Congratulations on having twins. I’ll try my best to come to the celebration tomorrow.”

Yuan Xi said, “It would be great if you can come, Shiyan has been hoping you would wake up.”

The door to the room was pushed open again, and in came Fu Qin and Ren Tian, “Brother, I heard that you can speak now?”

Fu Yixian said, “Just, I can speak.”

Hearing the man’s hoarse voice, Ren Tian anxiously fiddled with her fingers.

Fu Yixian’s gaze shifted to Ren Tian, who was hiding behind Fu Qin, his brow furrowing slightly as he glanced at the protruding belly beneath Ren Tian’s thin figure.

Following his gaze, Fu Qin said, “Brother, your child is already over five months old, do you want to touch it?”

Fu Yixian shifted his gaze from Ren Tian’s face, “Five months, it’s still possible to terminate the pregnancy…”

Ren Tian clutched her abdomen tightly, frowning as she looked at Fu Qin.

Fu Qin said, “Twins at five months, how could you consider termination? Besides, great aunt always hoped for the birth of these two children.”

Fu Yixian slowly asked Ren Tian, “Do you want to keep the twins?”

Ren Tian bit her lip, “Yes, if you don’t want them, just give me the two hundred million your mother promised me.

I won’t let the children affect your life, I know you were still with your girlfriend when you were comatose…

If you’re afraid that the children and I will affect your relationship with your girlfriend, there’s no need to worry. I’ll take the money and leave far away; the children won’t appear in front of you and your girlfriend again.”

Hearing the words “your girlfriend,” Fu Yixian’s brow furrowed, “If you decide to keep the children, then you must stay in the Fu Mansion; I won’t let you take the children away. Remember, if you stay, you are the mistress of the Fu Mansion.”

Despite the effort it took Fu Yixian to speak, his words came with a commanding presence.

Even Yuan Xi, who had six years of experience in the workplace, felt an invisible pressure.

Ren Tian placed her hand on her belly; such a tempting offer as being the mistress of the Fu Mansion was not something she could give up, “Okay.”

Fu Qin then smiled, “Brother, I’m glad you’re willing to accept Ren Tian. I thought you would force her to terminate the pregnancy for your girlfriend’s sake. That would have been a grave sin.”

After all, it was Fu Qin who had tricked the young girl into having children.

Fu Yixian said, “I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“But Mi Yi said she is your girlfriend!”

Fu Qin said, “Isn’t she?”

Fu Yixian responded, “Just an ex-girlfriend.”

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyuan and addressed Fu Yixian and Fu Qin, “We won’t disturb you any longer, come early for the baby’s full moon celebration tomorrow.”

Fu Qin nodded, “Okay.”

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan left the hospital and got into the back seat of the car.

Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyuan, “I didn’t expect Fu Yixian to accept Ren Tian. He must have already looked into Ren Tian’s background, right?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “Yixian grew up in the same environment as I did, where our parents’ marriages were arranged and loveless. For him, whatever his other half is like doesn’t matter as long as she can fulfill the duties of Mrs. Fu after marriage.”

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and asked, “What about you? What does ‘the other half’ mean to you?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “When I first became aware of the concept of a ‘significant other,’ I had already chosen you.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, thinking perhaps Huo Shiyuan’s affection for her was not love, but merely a childhood fixation?

But whether it was a childhood fixation or love, Yuan Xi didn’t want to delve into it, as these tranquil days were quite pleasant.

After returning from the hospital, Yuan Xi took a bath and then went over the process for Shiyi’s full moon celebration tomorrow with Shi Zhen.

Yuan Xi was from Jiang City, as were Grandma Shi and Grandpa Shi.

Both Yuan Xi and Grandma Shi wanted to host the full moon celebration at the Shiyi Hotel and also follow Jiang City traditions by having another ceremony at the Fu Mansion.

Jiang City customs were indeed troublesome; for the child’s full moon, there was a need to worship ancestors and offer sacrifices to Bodhisattvas to pray for their blessings on the child.

Grandpa Liang and Granny Liang even had to prepare two plates of gold and silver items, along with various sutras folded into yellow paper. Yang Ying and Chu Qing had asked Yuan Xi early on if she wanted to follow Jiang City’s full moon customs.

Having received an affirmative reply from Yuan Xi, they had prepared early and were now also preparing the next day’s full moon customs at the Fu Mansion.

On the day of the Lantern Festival.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan were holding their two children at the Fu Mansion.

The last time Grandma Shi hosted a full moon celebration following Jiang City customs was when Huo Shiyuan was born; it had not been done for Xiao Shihuo’s birth.

Grandma Shi could hardly remember the procedures for worshiping ancestors and Bodhisattvas during Jiang City’s full moon celebration.

Fortunately, Grandpa Liang and Granny Liang had come early to help out.

Yuan Xi was worried that Yang Ying and Chu Qing might have clashes with Grandpa Liang and Granny Liang, but today, they showed great respect to the only ones who clearly knew Jiang City’s full moon celebration process.

After lighting the candles, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan each held a child and bowed to the candlelight.

Yuan Xi actually did not believe in these things before and even thought that such superstitious customs would end with their generation, but she still chose to follow Jiang City’s superstitious customs for her children’s full moon celebration.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

It was also to give her children the best blessings, hoping that the gods and ancestors from the Huo Family could truly protect her two babies to grow up safe and healthy.

The Fu Mansion and Huo Mansion were close by.

Early in the morning, Fu Qin, Fu Yixian, and Qian Yiren had come over.

Looking at the table full of items offered to the Bodhisattvas at the Huo family, many of which she had never seen before like sutras, yellow paper, and tin foil folded into ingots, Fu Qin chuckled, “This is the first time I’ve seen a full month banquet held like this. It’s quite novel.”

“Not novel, but superstitious.”

Qian Yiren frowned, “Yuan Xi graduated from Jiang University; I really don’t know why she would foolishly organize these superstitious customs?”

Qian Yiren continued, “It’s also so outdated. It’s the 21st century, and besides Yuan Xi, which other young person with higher education would still engage in these feudal superstitious rituals? Especially since Shiyan studied abroad, to have these ignorant feudal superstitious rituals is truly a disservice to Shiyan.”
