Apart from Li Yuen, Fu Qingxuan, and Fu Hanting, who had been taught by Shen Xi, this was the first time they had eaten self-heating hot pot. It was also the first time they had eaten snail noodles.
Fu Qingli, in particular, had never eaten anything that was out of the ordinary. In the past, he would not even look at food that was considered rubbish. Now that he was eating with his family, he found it interesting.
Fu Junqiu ate the most and was the happiest. She took some time out of her busy schedule and asked, "This is interesting. Why didn't I know about it before? It's quite delicious and the ingredients are very fresh."
Shen Xi was the most idle one. She had to rinse the food several times before it was placed on her plate. "Auntie, you think it's quite good too, right? Do you think there's a market for it here?"
Fu Junqiu had not said anything yet.
Fu Qingli tapped his chopsticks and looked a little helpless. He coughed softly and said, "We're eating. Let's not talk about business."
She had just chatted with him for a long time and had not had enough. Now, he was talking about business again.
Shen Xi stopped talking and simply said, "This is a brand that our company started last year. We just started promoting it not long ago, so it's not well-known yet. The food that I brought was made on the same day, so it's definitely fresh."
Alright, let's not talk about business during dinner. However, she felt that the self-heating hot pot, snail noodles, vermicelli, rice, and the like were mainly sold to the Chinese community overseas. The foreigners probably would not be interested in these things as they were not to their taste.
Besides, the Fu family was such a big company and they were in business that made a lot of money. It was better not to talk about this kind of small amount of money. Once the local market was established and the brand was well-known, it would be enough for her to digest.
However, the competition in the local market was very fierce. There were no patents for these things. After the brand was established, there would be many companies that would fight to imitate it. The market share would definitely be divided.
The whole family enjoyed the supper very much. After the meal, they chatted in the living room for a while before returning to their own bedrooms to rest.
Shen Xi stood at the window and looked carefully again and again. After making sure that there was no one around, she opened the window. Before she started to climb down, she heard the window directly below her being opened. She looked down and saw the person below reaching out a hand and gesturing for her to go back.
Shen Xi's face fell.
Was this person watching her from across the room? Was he waiting for her in the bedroom?
Shen Xi sulkily went back to her bed. She hugged her blanket and rolled around a few times before she sent a message to Li Yuen. "Brother, I can't sleep."
Li Yuen's video call came in. She looked at her and said, "Do you want a bedtime story or a lullaby?"
Shen Xi sniffled. When she was lying on the bed, her face was contorted. She said in a muffled voice, "Can I have a big pillow?"
"I don't have a big pillow." Li Yuen sighed softly and said gently, "Your brother is next door. He saw you just now. Be good and bear with it."
Shen Xi puffed up her cheeks and bit her lip. She said, "Okay, a lullaby then!"
She clearly remembered that the Fu family didn't have anti-theft windows the last time she was here. Why did all the rooms have anti-theft windows this time? Were they not for anti-theft purposes, but for her?
As she thought about it, she felt that her thoughts were ridiculous. She shook her head and covered herself with the blanket. She hugged a pillow and listened to the man's magnetic and seductive voice beside her ear. She closed her eyes.
Maybe she was too tired, or maybe the man's voice was very hypnotic. She fell asleep not long after.
Li Yuen listened to the girl's steady breathing. After a long time, he hung up the video call. Then he heard the sound of the window next door. He shook his head helplessly and smiled. Was she pitying him?
It was completely quiet outside. Only the whistling of the wind could be heard.
The New Year's Day holiday lasted for three days.
Shen Xi came to the Fu family the night before the holiday. She spent two days with the Fu family and had to go home on the afternoon of the third day. She had missed too many classes this semester. It would be unreasonable if she didn't take the final exams.
Li Yuen was not at the Fu family's house every day these days. He had work to discuss and he knew his limits. He left enough time for the Fu family and Shen Xi to spend time together.
Fu Hanting and Shangguan Yanqiu were very grateful for his gesture. It was very heartwarming.
The Fu brothers were different. No matter what Li Yuen did, they could always find fault with him. It would be best if he disappeared forever. That would be the best for them.
Fu Junqiu spent the past few days with Li Yuen. Just like Shangguan Yanqiu, she liked him more and more. He was a good match for her precious little princess.
On Shen Xi's last morning at the Fu family's house, Li Yuen left after breakfast. He would come to pick up Shen Xi in the afternoon and they would go back together.
The Fu family, including the workaholic Fu Qingli, stayed at home because they wanted to keep their little sister company.
Fu Qingye pushed back his schedule by a week. If he could not push back his schedule, he would terminate his contract. Anyway, to him, the entertainment industry was not as important as his little sister.
Fu Qingxuan was the one who arranged his own work. Basically, he acted according to his own will. If he did not have an important experiment to do, he would definitely go back to Huaxia with Shen Xi.
When it was almost noon, the three brothers of the Fu family were busy in the kitchen.
Fu Hanting and Shangguan Yanqiu were watching TV with Shen Xi in the living room.
Shen Xi was knitting a scarf for Fu Qingxuan. It was very easy to knit a scarf as long as one learned the basic needlework. The scarf was the simplest of all the knitting products and the one in her hand was almost finished.
Shangguan Yanqiu was thinking more. She was discussing with her husband about returning to Huaxia. Their daughter was definitely going to develop her career in Huaxia in the future and would not come here.
She would only come to reunite with them when she had time or when she was on vacation. They could only see each other a few times a year and every time they went back and forth, it would be very troublesome.
It would be better for them to go back to Huaxia and buy a villa next to hers. When she married Li Yuen in the future, if they lived in the same place, they could buy the villa.
As for their sons, they did not care about them. They could do whatever they wanted. Most of the family business was here. Their eldest son could not go back to Huaxia, their second son's career was here and their third son's studio was here.
"Dad, Mom, don't think so much. It's so far away. "Shen Xi was helpless. They were already thinking about it when there was no sign of it.
