Chapter 309 Learning to Utilize Resources
"How lucky! Uncle Ji is here!"
Ji Yubai handed the things in his hands to Cui Ma, then freed his hands to hug Lucky.
"Oh my, you're a good-looking young man, and you're a bit heavy."
Lucky was born with a larger weight and length than the average child.
A baby who starts out heavier will naturally be a little heavier than other babies of the same age.
An Xiaoyue and Zhong Ling were delighted to see how much he liked children, and they smiled at each other.
Last night, Zhong Lingxi stayed at Fu Garden. The two sisters slept together and chatted until late at night before going to sleep.
They had just finished breakfast when Ji Yubai came to pick them up.
Ji Yubai had no experience in carrying people, so he used both hands to hold Lucky's belly and didn't even realize he was dragging her bottom.
Luck was hanging there, and he clearly didn't like being held like that, squirming in Ji Yubai's arms.
Fu Shengyang watched in fear, terrified that Ji Yubai would release Xingyun and drop his son.
"Alright, I'll give you a few minutes to enjoy it."
As he spoke, he brought the lucky charm back.
Ji Yubai pouted, "I just want to get used to the feeling of holding a baby first."
Fu Shengyang flatly refused, "If you want to practice, go to the gym and lift weights."
The good fortune his beloved wife gave him—was it really just a tool for Ji Yubai to practice his methods on?
Back in her father's broad, safe, and comfortable embrace, Lucky finally smiled.
Ji Yubai was incredibly envious. "Hmph! Before long, my child will be smiling in my arms too."
Cheapskate!
Who doesn't have a wife who gives birth to children like it's nothing?
Despite the playful banter, Ji Yubai's earlier ease vanished the moment he met Zhong Lingxi's gaze.
Lingxi agreed to give birth to the child, but that doesn't mean his mistake is over.
Ji Yubai had an awkward smile on his face, looking every bit the henpecked husband.
"Can I go home now?"
Zhong Lingxi: "So early? Did you talk to your parents about it?"
“Last night, when I got home and told them, they cleaned the house overnight. Our necessities have been moved over, and we can go straight to my parents’ place in a little while.”
Ji Yubai recalled his mother and the old man's flushed cheeks from excessive excitement and couldn't help but admire their strong execution.
It's just that the servants had a hard time getting any sleep all night.
Ji Yubai thought that he should give them a red envelope when he got back.
Given how enthusiastic Mr. and Mrs. Ji were, she shouldn't offend them.
She absolutely couldn't let the two elders know about the scene she and Ji Yubai had yesterday.
Otherwise, Ji's parents would have to worry about their relationship.
And on this rare weekend, because of her matter, Xiaoyue and the president had been bothered all night.
Xiaoyue has to go to work tomorrow, so we should give her back her time.
This allowed her, the CEO, and their lucky family of three to enjoy a leisurely Sunday.
"In that case, let's go back."
Just before leaving, Ji Yubai remembered the things he had brought with him.
"Sister-in-law, there are lucky toys and Wuweizhai tea snacks in the bag that Aunt Cui took away. Remember to eat them when you drink your tea."
An Xiaoyue smiled and agreed, "Thank you, President Ji."
Ji Yubai is a very polite and thoughtful person, and Lingxi is well taken care of by him.
That's why she repeatedly pushed for their marriage.
Lingxi was not a top student since childhood, but thanks to Teacher Zhou's outstanding achievements in the high school department.
As a daughter, if she did poorly on a test, her teacher would say, "Your mother is so good, how come you only got such a low score?"
When Teacher Zhou found out, she couldn't very well go and stand up for Lingxi because they were both teachers.
All I could do was encourage and comfort Lingxi time and time again.
A teacher's daughter is expected to excel because she receives extra tutoring from her teacher.
This kind of thinking harmed Lingxi.
On the surface, she seems carefree and easygoing, but inside she has a heart that longs for understanding, tolerance, and love.
An Xiaoyue was still somewhat worried about Lingxi, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.
"You can contact me anytime. Don't keep anything to yourself."
"If you feel unwell during pregnancy, don't avoid certain foods. Eat whatever you can."
After chatting for several hours last night, and with the good news of her health and cuteness, Zhong Lingxi felt much more at ease.
She smiled brightly, "Don't worry, I can do it."
Watching Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi walk out of Buzhichun, An Xiaoyue couldn't help but sigh, "For them, good things really do come with many obstacles."
If you have a straightforward personality, there's naturally less to argue with.
Attorney Zhong is Xiaoyue's best friend, something Fu Shengyang would never say out loud.
Having reached the pinnacle, Fu Shengyang had long been accustomed to seeing through things but not saying anything.
Everyone has their own cocoon to break free from; help from others is only temporary.
He only hoped that if he came to live in Fu Garden again in the future, he wouldn't have to take his precious wife away and leave him alone in an empty room.
Zhong Lingxi's mood improved, and everything seemed fine again.
Along the way, Ji Yubai vividly recounted to Zhong Lingxi what had happened in the vegetable garden the previous evening.
Especially Ji's father's words: "For my grandson, I can work for another thirty years."
Ji Yubai brought it up again, and still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
From now on, the old man will never again chase after him to take over Star Cube.
Taking good care of Lingxi is the top priority for the Ji family.
"You're not short of money, why do you need to ask your mother for money?"
Nobody's money grows on trees, and Ji Yubai's demand for a million is truly outrageous.
Ji Yubai: "If my mother doesn't contribute any money, she won't feel involved."
Zhong Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
The Ji family lived in a separate house and rarely interacted with relatives except on holidays.
With a professional housekeeper managing the household, and Ji's father busy with work, Ji Yu is rarely home during the day.
Ji's mother was home alone, spending the whole day there, and she was indeed lonely.
Making her pay money now is to help her find her place and sense of belonging in the family.
Ji Yubai was also using this method to let his mother know that she was needed.
One million is a lot for her.
But for Ji's mother, it was just the money to buy a bag or a piece of jewelry while shopping.
Ji Yubai's way of loving his parents was delicate yet irritating, unlike many other families she had encountered.
The Ji family of three only gets lively when they bicker and argue.
She needs to gradually get used to this family atmosphere and not judge others by her own standards.
"I'll be more careful from now on and spend more time with my mom."
Ji Yubai was moved, and Lingxi was integrating into his family.
He took Zhong Lingxi's hand, their fingers intertwined.
"Lingxi, just be yourself. They like you as you are. You don't need to change for anyone."
"The reason I'm telling you all this is to let you know that my parents are open-minded people. It's just that my mother has been spoiled for decades and has always been the center of attention. Sometimes she doesn't necessarily think from your perspective when she does things. You can just say it directly, or talk to me and I'll try to communicate with her."
"At home, if anything makes you uncomfortable, just tell me, I'll take care of everything."
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a major challenge. As long as he can appease her well, there will be no problem.
Zhong Lingxi wasn't worried about Ji's parents treating her badly; on the contrary, she was worried that Ji Yubai would be scolded by his parents because of her.
However, since Ji Yubai had put it that way, she would definitely go along with it.
"Okay, I understand. I'll call you if I need anything."
Not only does Ji's mother need to feel needed, but Ji Yubai also wants to be needed by her.
This is something she just realized.
Ji Yubai offered his shoulder, so of course she would lean on it.
Xiaoyue said that this is called standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world; you should learn to make use of the resources around you to make yourself better.
Ji Yubai is her man, there's nothing she feels indebted to him.
