Chapter 136 Lotus Tower 10
The appearance of Lin Jiu satisfied Grandma Cen's wish for a daughter. These days, Grandma Cen has devoted all her energy to feeding and dressing up Lin Jiu.
If it were the same as in the past, Grandma Cen would have started arguing with Qi Mushan because of his drinking. But now, Grandma Cen looked at Qi Mushan, who was holding the jar of wine and drinking happily, with disdain, curled her lips, and ignored him.
She then looked at Lin Jiu with admiration as she saw her wearing the skirt she had specially made for her. The green dress made Lin Jiu look fresh and refined. Perhaps because she was a fox, she also exuded a seductive charm.
Lin Jiu also liked this dress very much. After turning around, she felt that her beauty had reached a new level. She ran to Aunt Cen excitedly, raised her little face and said sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Cen. Aunt Cen has a good eye and good craftsmanship. I like it very much."
Grandma Cen smiled and touched Lin Jiu's white hair. "I'm glad you like it. I have a lot of fabrics. I'll make you a few more sets of clothes later."
Lin Jiu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he smiled happily, revealing two cute canine teeth. "Really? That's great, Aunt Cen is the best!"
Granny Cen felt a little embarrassed by Lin Jiu's praise, a blush appeared on her face, and she scolded: "You are just sweet-talking, but you look good in anything you wear."
Lin Jiu giggled, took Auntie Cen's hand and said coquettishly: "No, it's because the clothes made by Auntie Cen are beautiful, that's why I said that."
Grandma Cen pinched Lin Jiu's nose lovingly and said, "You are such a clever little kid."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm and beautiful.
Suddenly, "Master, Master's Wife, Big Brother, I was wondering why I couldn't see you anywhere. Turns out you're all here...ah!"
A clear voice came from far away, and everyone turned to look at the door. After not seeing him for a year, the young man's figure became more upright, like a cypress or pine tree, with a high ponytail, and he looked heroic, with a handsome and clear face.
Lin Jiu looked at Li Xiangyi who walked in with a dim look in his eyes.
As soon as Li Xiangyi stepped into the yard, he noticed the dazzling Lin Jiu and stared at her. Unlike the fleeting beauty at night before, Lin Jiu now under the sunlight was more dazzling and more... real.
He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was hit by something.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Jiu greedily, and looking into her eyes, his heart couldn't help but ripple. This year of travel was not in vain. Li Xiangyi was naturally clear about his own feelings. Ten years of daily companionship, coupled with the lust he felt when he first saw Lin Jiu in human form, proved that he had fallen in love with her.
Thinking this way, he unconsciously quickened his pace and walked towards Lin Jiu. His heartbeat seemed to become more and more intense as his pace quickened, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
When he was only a few steps away from Lin Jiu, he stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excitement. However, he still couldn't take his eyes off Lin Jiu's face, and he said softly, "Long time no see, Xiaobai."
Lin Jiu did not deny that Li Xiangyi was smart, so it was not surprising that he could recognize her at a glance. After all, her white hair was indeed very conspicuous.
But she slightly frowned at his plain words, rolling her eyes in her heart, thinking to herself: "Has this guy forgotten that he made her angry and walked away?"
However, Lin Jiu rolled his eyes, thinking about the actions he would take later, and decided to put aside his dissatisfaction and said in a feigned anger, "You're finally willing to come back?"
Seeing that Lin Jiu's attitude was the same as usual, Li Xiangyi finally let go of the worry he had been having. He was still worried that Lin Jiu would be angry about what happened before, but it seemed that he was overthinking it. He said, how could Xiaobai be so stingy that he would remember something for a whole year just because of such a small thing.
Putting aside his worries, Li Xiangyi smiled broadly, appearing radiant against the backdrop of the sunlight. "Xiaobai, I brought you some candied haws."
Lin Jiu was dazzled by his smile, and a touch of emotion welled up in her heart. Although she was touched by the fact that Li Xiangyi didn't forget to bring her something when he was out, it didn't stop her from continuing to implement her "revenge" plan against him.
A look of surprise appeared on her face as she took the candied haws from Li Xiangyi and happily began to eat them. However, her mind was completely focused on the next action plan.
Li Xiangyi was completely unaware of what was about to happen to him, and he was still happily sharing the gifts he brought back with his master, his master's wife, and his elder brother. Of course, most of the gifts were specially prepared for Lin Jiu.
He displayed various gadgets and delicacies one by one, and said proudly: "I picked these specially!"
Lin Jiu, on the other hand, was biting a candied haws while silently observing Li Xiangyi, secretly calculating in her heart. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she had seen Li Xiangyi's anxious and annoyed expression, and she looked smart and cunning.
