The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 1326: A Small Gift

After Lin Yingying came out, Long Fei and Little Kirin immediately stopped their "battle," obediently shook their hands, and headed to the car together.

Lin Yingying rolled her eyes at them, thinking to herself how this father and son duo never seemed to grow up, finding such a childish game so entertaining.

She wore a long white sweater dress as her base layer, topped with a bright red woolen coat, paired with knee-high black boots. Her outfit made her look like a newlywed bride.

Long Fei’s eyes lit up the moment he saw her attire.

As he started the car, he glanced at the smooth, white curve of Lin Yingying’s exposed leg and gulped, asking, "Don’t you think you’re dressed a little... overly vibrant?"

Lin Yingying stared at herself in the car’s vanity mirror, patting her cheeks, and said, "What do you know? When celebrating an elder’s birthday, dressing brightly adds cheer to the occasion!"

"Really?"

Long Fei had no clue such traditions existed.

Yet, he couldn’t help but think that this new look of the CEO’s wife was dangerously captivating.

She usually wore formal office attire, which looked good but gave off a serious vibe.

Today’s outfit, however, gave her the air of a gracious, elegant wife.

From the back seat, Little Kirin shouted, "Does this mean I don’t have to go to school today?"

Lin Yingying pinched his little cheek and chuckled, "Of course not. Your great-grandfather’s birthday comes first, and we’re all going to celebrate."

"Awesome!"

Little Kirin was so thrilled he began jumping for joy. As long as it got him out of school, he didn’t mind doing anything else.

The family drove to the Dongyang Mountain Villa Area. Long Fei’s first visit to this place had been with Wang Xiaoya.

Back then, he had gone to seek help from Master Zhou, hoping to save his position as a security guard at the Lin’s Group.

The first time he laid eyes on this villa community, he had been utterly amazed.

No wonder it was dubbed Binhai City’s most beautiful retirement haven, nestled next to the Dongyang Mountain Forest Park, facing the sea, with stunning scenery.

At the time, he had declared with youthful ambition to Wang Xiaoya that one day he would buy her a mansion here.

Now, he had the means to do so, but Wang Xiaoya was no longer by his side.

Driving along the community’s road, they finally arrived at the Lin family patriarch’s villa. The parking lot outside was already packed with cars.

Last night, Lin Yingying’s father had begun organizing the event.

Countless relatives, from uncles and aunts to distant cousins, had gathered to celebrate. They had spent the entire evening drinking at the house.

This world is one where "poverty in bustling cities goes unnoticed, but wealth in remote mountains draws distant kin."

Some relatives who were barely connected by blood treated this birthday celebration as if it were more significant than their own parents’ birthdays.

Lin Yingying didn’t care for these people. Just seeing them annoyed her.

When there’s an advantage to be gained, they flock around like flies, impossible to shoo away.

But when trouble arises, they scatter like rabbits, disappearing in an instant.

As soon as the family got out of the car, Lin Shanshan ran over, happily hugging her sister and bouncing excitedly.

Little Kirin raised his hands and yelled, "Auntie, I want a hug too!"

"Alright, a hug for you too!"

Lin Shanshan giggled and picked him up, spinning him around.

Long Fei locked the car and walked over, teasing her, "Should we hug too?"

"You wish!"

Lin Shanshan’s face turned red as she wrinkled her nose at him, then carried Little Kirin, leading the way inside.

Behind them, Lin Yingying extended her hand and gave Long Fei’s leg a sharp pinch.

"Even rabbits don’t eat the grass by their burrow!"

This guy dared to tease her little sister right in front of her; clearly, he wasn’t taking her seriously.

Long Fei’s skin was thick enough to withstand bullets nowadays, but Lin Yingying’s pinch still hurt, making him wince as he quickly sidestepped.

Compared to Lin Yingying, Lin Shanshan’s outfit was much more casual.

She still sported her Mushroom Head hairstyle, wearing a black leather jacket over a thin T-shirt, paired with blue jeans that exuded youthful spirit and a touch of wildness.

Long Fei walked behind the sisters, quietly admiring them. Suddenly, he noticed that this sister-in-law seemed more captivating than before. Perhaps it was the effect of the Yao Grass?

The large hall inside was packed with people. As soon as Long Fei and his family entered, the room momentarily quieted as everyone turned to look at them.

The sofas and chairs inside had all been removed, replaced with a simple buffet-style arrangement.

A group of young people stood in a cluster, holding glasses of red wine and chatting casually.

They, too, turned to look at Long Fei’s family, their expressions a mix of envy and jealousy. They were baffled as to how a mere security guard had managed to marry the family’s CEO.

Those who knew Long Fei’s current status respected him, but those who didn’t only knew his humble origins as a security guard. Moreover, his frequent absences from work made him a subject of speculation.

Some whispered among themselves, "Look at him, so shabby. Coming to his in-laws’ house empty-handed, not even bringing a gift?"

"Keep your voice down. Don’t let this country bumpkin hear you. Coming from some small rural place, what does he know about proper etiquette? Even if he knew, he probably couldn’t afford it, so he just didn’t bother bringing anything."

"Later, when he comes down, let’s have a proper chat with him. We can’t let some villager step all over us, can we?"

"..."

Long Fei overheard their murmurs but didn’t stoop to their level.

A bunch of shallow fools—they no longer had any bearing on his state of mind.

He and Lin Yingying headed up to the fifth floor. The old family patriarch preferred quiet, leaving the lower levels for the younger generation while staying on the top floor himself.

Inside the room were only Lin Yingying’s parents and Zhou Yunshen.

The room was spacious, luxuriously decorated like a five-star hotel, with a bright living room where sunlight streamed in through large floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a warm atmosphere.

Lin Shanshan immediately called out as she entered, "Dad, Mom, your eldest son-in-law is here!"

Lin Guodong and Yu Hui stood up at once, beaming as they looked at Long Fei.

"Can’t you act a little more composed?"

Yu Hui gave Lin Shanshan a light tap on the head, then happily picked up her eldest grandson.

Little Kirin was quite familiar with her. Whenever Lin Yingying was busy, he often stayed at his grandparents’ home.

Despite the boy’s mysterious origins, Yu Hui and Lin Guodong never expressed any dislike toward him.

Little Kirin was simply too lovable, with such a handsome face that no one could resist his charm.

Long Fei greeted his parents-in-law respectfully and bowed to both Elder Master Lin and Master Zhou.

Zhou Yunshen quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, no, that’s too much. You’re now the head of the Secular Cultivation World. How could this old man ever deserve such a courtesy?"

Long Fei smiled and said, "But you’re my master, and always will be. ’One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father.’ You’re entirely deserving of my respect."

Everyone laughed warmly and invited Lin Yingying and her family to sit down.

Long Fei took out three boxes from his Storage Ring, giving one to his in-laws, one to Elder Master Lin, and one to Zhou Yunshen.

Curious, Lin Shanshan opened the gift meant for her grandfather, eager to see what her brother-in-law had prepared.

"Ginseng?"

Inside the box was a ginseng root roughly a foot long, with a form resembling a human figure and thick, lush roots.

Lin Shanshan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother-in-law, this must be a hundred years old, right?"

Lin Yingying shook her head, saying, "It looks more like three hundred years."

"It’s just a small token. You two don’t need to make such a big deal of it."

Long Fei smiled nonchalantly. He spoke casually, but to ordinary people, this would be astonishing.

In the secular world, even a fifty-year-old Wild Mountain Ginseng would be incredibly rare, let alone a three-hundred-year-old one.

However, in the Secret Realm, ginsengs abounded.

Long Fei had taken this one from someone else. His Storage Ring was filled with rare herbs, but ginseng was the most suitable for ordinary people’s physiques.

He explained to his in-laws and Zhou Yunshen, "Dad, Mom, Master, yours are the same ginseng. Slice it and steep it in water for tea, but don’t consume too much in one go. Otherwise, it’ll overwhelm your body."

Zhou Yunshen stroked his beard with a smile. "Well, I’ll take advantage of your generosity this time!"

Lin Guodong and Yu Hui also smiled in satisfaction, having no complaints about their son-in-law.

When they first heard about their daughter dating Long Fei, they had felt a bit uneasy, thinking that a mere security guard didn’t deserve their daughter. freewebnσvel.cѳm

But now, knowing more about Long Fei, they no longer dared to underestimate him.

A single ginseng root, three hundred years old, was worth a fortune in the secular world—practically priceless.
