Thank you, quayA, for the ko-fi~
Feng Yuan managed to get an incubator just by using his charm.
He carried the incubator to his little car and studied it with Qin Xun for quite a while.
“Qin Xun, how big is a dragon egg? Can this incubate a dragon egg?”
“I don’t know.”
Although Qin Xun knew a lot of things, he had never actually seen a dragon egg.
Feng Yuan touched the incubator and decided to skip collecting scrap for the day.
He drove his little car and brought the incubator back home.
When he returned, neither of his dads nor his uncle was home.
Only his grandmother was there.
Frida was on a video call with Yu Yi’s parents.
They were discussing Yu Yi’s birthday celebration.
When Feng Yuan’s chubby little face appeared on the screen, the slightly worried expressions on Yu Yi’s parents’ faces instantly brightened with smiles.
“Yuan Yuan, you’re back?”
“Yep, Yuan Yuan’s back.”
As soon as Feng Yuan approached, Frida picked him up and sat him on her lap, letting him chat with Yu Yi’s parents.
“Grandpa, Grandma, when are you coming over?”
“Come eat cake!”
Birthdays were all about eating cake. For Feng Yuan’s first birthday in the human world, his dad had bought him a little cake.
Feng Yuan loved birthdays.
Because he loved eating cake.
“Grandpa and Grandma will be there soon. We’ll bring some chocolate for our Yuan Yuan, okay?”
“Okay!”
Feng Yuan’s eyes curved into happy crescents as he gave his Yu Yi’s parents a soft, sweet smile.
The adults and the cub chatted via video for a while longer.
Feng Yuan still wanted to clean and decorate the incubator, so he waved his little hand and said goodbye to Yu Yi’s parents and his grandma.
As soon as Feng Yuan left, Fang Fang’s face fell again.
“Frida, I really want a grandchild.”
Whether it was a grandson or a granddaughter, she wasn’t picky. She would love either.
Frida smiled. “You’ll get your wish.”
Frida had personally seen Wu Jin’s dragon form.
She had also heard Yuan Yuan mention that his godfather was going to lay a dragon egg.
Children’s words often held truth.
Frida firmly believed her little grandson.
“Frida, don’t comfort me. I’ve looked it up. The probability of a man giving birth is even lower than winning a billion-dollar lottery.”
“It’s impossible.”
“I won’t let Xiao Yi take any risks for such slim odds.”
“No risks needed.”
Frida smiled and repeated, “You really will have a grandchild.”
“I think your grandchild will be as adorable as Yuan Yuan.”
Although Fang Fang didn’t fully believe Frida’s reassurance, she felt a little better.
“Our eldest has long declared himself a non-marriage advocate.”
“Frida, it’s not that I’m traditional, but our Yu family’s fortune is so vast that it couldn’t be spent in several lifetimes.”
“I hope to have a grandchild to inherit everything we have.”
The elderly couple of the Yu family had always been involved in various charitable activities.
But they weren’t selfless enough to donate all their family wealth.
They hoped that the fortune would be passed down to their family through an heir.
They didn’t dare pressure their eldest son.
He was a bit intimidating.
Only Yu Yi had been the sweetheart of the family since childhood.
They could only place their hopes on Yu Yi.
Frida understood their feelings.
After a long video call, Frida got up from the sofa and walked over to the little guy busy in the living room.
Qin Xun had taken a wrung-damp cloth and was disinfecting and cleaning the incubator.
Feng Yuan was currently sticking stickers onto it.
He was using his most treasured stickers.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Frida hadn’t had a chance to properly chat with her little grandson earlier.
Now she sat down beside him and started chatting with the little one.
“What’s that in your hand?”
“An egg incubator.”
Feng Yuan answered his grandma while continuing to apply stickers: “I bought this for Godfather. It used up all of Yuan Yuan’s money.”
“Egg incubator?”
“Yeah. Godfather lays dragon eggs, and the eggs hatch inside here.”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan’s little face showed some worry.
“Yuan Yuan only has one incubator. If Godfather lays lots of eggs, it won’t be enough.”
Seeing the troubled little one, Frida had a thought and asked another question: “Yuan Yuan, how many eggs do you think your Godfather can lay?”
“Several!”
Feng Yuan answered as if it were the most natural thing: “Yuan Yuan wants a brother, and also a sister.”
He then emphasized:
“Godfather has to lay them one by one.”
He can’t lay many at once!
His incubator isn’t enough!
Feng Yuan’s childish words still sounded like an innocent conclusion from a young child.
Frida patted his head, just hoping that some of what he said might come true one day.
That Yu Yi and Wu Jin could first have one egg.
This egg wouldn’t need to do anything after being laid.
It would be born to enjoy good fortune.
Thinking about the Yu family’s blessed egg that would inherit billions upon birth, Frida’s gaze fell on Feng Yuan’s little face, and then she felt reassured.
The Yu family’s egg would be born into good fortune.
Her Yuan Yuan wouldn’t suffer either. As for billions in wealth, Yuan Yuan wasn’t lacking in that either.
Unaware of how much wealth he actually possessed, Feng Yuan, after finishing applying the stickers, began carefully calculating his expenses.
The stickers cost one yuan each, and he had planned to buy only one every two weeks.
Now he had already used two stickers and had no more in stock.
But if he wanted to buy more, he’d have to do it ahead of schedule.
Feng Yuan counted on his chubby little fingers for a long time before finally deciding to buy one in advance.
He needed one more sticker to cover the incubator completely.
Frida stayed with the little guy while he applied stickers for quite some time.
The other adults gradually returned.
With all the adults back, lunch was naturally served.
Feng Yuan had been busy all morning and was already quite hungry.
Sitting in his high chair, just as he was about to eat, he suddenly remembered he had promised to record a video.
“Dad, Yuan Yuan wants to use the phone.”
Feng Yuan explained to his dad why he wanted to use the phone.
After hearing his reason, Feng Qi handed him the phone.
Feng Yuan had recorded videos by himself before, so he was quite experienced this time.
He even knew how to switch between front and rear cameras.
“This is Yuan Yuan’s video.”
With these words in his milky voice, Feng Yuan officially started recording.
He propped the phone on the dining table and recorded himself eating heartily.
As he ate with big mouthfuls, Feng Qi softly reminded him:
“Yuan Yuan, eat slowly.”
“Have some soup.”
“Okay.”
The obedient Feng Yuan slowed down his eating pace and took a few sips of soup.
He only recorded himself eating for a short while before turning off the phone.
He thought that continuously recording himself eating was too boring.
After finishing his meal, he continued recording, this time showing off the new “treasures” he had received.
After showing off the worn-out items, Feng Yuan also shared some good news.
“Yuan Yuan’s uncle is back home. Yuan Yuan is so happy.”
Uncle was bonding with Yuan Yuan’s older cousins.
Feng Yuan wanted to see how they were bonding, but didn’t get the chance since the three of them weren’t home.
Feng Yuan’s daily video was originally recorded with a long duration.
But he asked Little Deer to help trim out some repetitive clips.
With Little Deer’s help, the video ended up being only five minutes long.
Feng Yuan then asked his dad to upload it.
In those five minutes, he didn’t remove the few seconds where his dad reminded him to drink his soup.
He felt it was a sign of his dad’s love for Yuan Yuan, so he kept it in.
Not long after the video was posted, Feng Yuan snuggled up to his dad, rubbing against him.
“Are there any comments yet? Dad, read the comments to Yuan Yuan.”
“Yes, there are quite a few.”
The video platform’s recommendation algorithm has always been a bit of a mystery. But Feng Yuan seemed to have particularly good luck.
As soon as his video was posted, the views and likes started skyrocketing.
With more views came a steady stream of comments.
Feng Qi was taking a break at the time, so he held Feng Yuan and began reading the comments aloud.
“Wow! It’s a fresh little Yuan Yuan. So adorable! Let me give you a kiss!”
“Wahh, I finally get to see my little Yuan Yuan again! Yuan Yuan doesn’t update often enough.”
“Yuan Yuan, I saw you on the street! You looked so busy. I didn’t want to bother you.”
“Isn’t the government encouraging people to have kids? Well, I want this one!”
The comments kept multiplying with every refresh.
Feng Qi read for a while before he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yuan Yuan, you’re even more popular than your dad.”
Feng Qi wasn’t entirely sure about his own popularity, but he didn’t think he was that famous.
After all, he only made cameo appearances in minor roles and occasionally had a line or two in the film crew.
His screen time was short. Although he had taken many magazine photos, people nowadays might not necessarily be interested in fashion magazines.
As Feng Qi was speaking, his eyes caught a new comment.
This one made him pause.
The comment mentioned his name.
“Ahhh. I don’t know if I’m hearing things, but the voice at the 17-second mark really sounds like Feng Qi!”
“Help. I’ve replayed it over ten times. I really think I heard my favorite’s voice.”
Seeing these comments, Feng Qi hesitated for a moment before clicking on the user’s profile.
On their page, there were several videos.
And all of these uploaded videos were about Feng Qi.
Feng Qi checked the number of likes on the videos. The lowest had a few hundred, while the highest had 82,000 likes.
He clicked into the comment section of one of the videos and was even more stunned.
The comments were filled with praise.
Words like “divine beauty” and some bold, playful jokes…
He was overwhelmed by the flood of compliments.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Feng Qi, who had just been praising his son’s popularity, belatedly realized, “Dad might be a little bit famous, too.”
Feng Qi felt like his life had taken an unexpected turn.
He decided to search for his own name. After a while, he finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that one of the dramas he had acted in had become a massive hit.
And he had blown up along with it.
Fans had compiled various photos and videos of him, along with behind-the-scenes shots from the set.
Thanks to his looks, he had been trending multiple times recently.
Many people clicked in while grumbling, thinking it was just another marketing stunt.
But after clicking in, those who had been complaining exited with soaring emotions and started following the account.
No one could resist Feng Qi’s beauty.
Both the big one and the little one went viral.
Feng Yuan was delighted with his round little face. He understood the benefits of going viral.
“Now Yuan Yuan can collect even more scraps!”
With the boost from his minor internet fame, Feng Yuan’s scrap-collecting business seemed to have a bright future ahead.
As for Feng Qi, he received a continuous stream of invitations.
The company Feng Qi had casually signed with earlier was not Li Sheng’s.
He had signed with a small agency.
During this time, that small agency had been frantically trying to contact him.
But unfortunately, Feng Qi had been away. They couldn’t assign him any work.
Now that Feng Qi was back, the small agency scheduled a packed list of jobs for him.
But Feng Qi only picked a few that fit his schedule and declined the rest.
Even though he declined, the small agency took a hardline stance, insisting he take the jobs.
Feng Qi’s response was to calmly walk away.
After all, his legs were his own, and he had already made his refusal clear. Whatever the company decided to do next was none of his concern.
“Dad, we’re famous! Can we go out for burgers tonight?”
The food at home was delicious, but Feng Yuan still occasionally craved meals from outside.
Especially fried chicken, cola, and burgers. They were his absolute favorites!
Feng Qi pinched his chubby little cheek, thought for a moment, and agreed.
“Okay.”
Feng Qi added, “We’ll wait for your big dad to come back first.”
“Mm!”
Li Sheng had gone to the office in the afternoon and hadn’t returned yet.
After napping with Feng Yuan and Qin Xun, Feng Qi took them to the mall for a stroll.
Feng Yuan had already prepared a birthday gift for Yu Yi.
But Feng Qi hadn’t prepared his yet.
Now, Feng Yuan would accompany his dad to pick out a gift.
The three of them wandered around outside, with Feng Qi deliberately wearing a mask to avoid being recognized.
He had heard that once you became famous, it was easy to get spotted.
While the big one and the little one were shopping, Li Sheng sat in his office, fuming with anger.
He had, of course, seen Feng Qi’s sudden rise to fame.
But he had seen more than Feng Qi had.
Feng Qi only saw his popularity and positive reviews. He hadn’t seen the negative ones.
The small agency Feng Qi had signed with had taken it upon themselves to accept a bunch of jobs on his behalf.
And despite Feng Qi’s refusal, the agency hadn’t canceled any of those jobs.
In other words, the agency hadn’t turned down a single job.
They kept the jobs and took the money.
But the agency never expected Feng Qi to stand his ground and actually not show up.
Now, since he didn’t show up, penalty fees were inevitable.
The agency sent Feng Qi a pile of penalty invoices, demanding he either pay up or comply with their arrangements.
The contact information Feng Qi had provided, both his email and backup contact, were all linked to Li Sheng.
Since the agency often couldn’t reach Feng Qi by phone or message, the calls and invoices demanding payment ended up with Li Sheng.
Li Sheng had suppressed a wave of negative publicity about Feng Qi from various marketing accounts.
Although he managed to curb the spread of those articles, the underlying issues remained unresolved.
He hadn’t yet dealt with the small agency Feng Qi was signed to.
While handling his partner’s affairs at the office, Li Sheng unknowingly worked until evening.
It was almost six o’clock.
Feng Yuan used his smartwatch to call his big dad, who was almost off work.
Li Sheng was still in a meeting that hadn’t ended yet.
Under his oppressive aura, all the subordinates were holding their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Sitting at the head of the table, Li Sheng’s expression instantly softened when he saw the caller ID.
“Yuan Yuan.”
“Big Dad! Guess where I am?”
“Let Big Dad guess? Hmm, is Yuan Yuan near Big Dad?”
Feng Yuan: “!”
Feng Yuan gasped in surprise, finding it unbelievable that his big dad could guess correctly.
“Big Dad, did you check my location?”
“I didn’t check.”
The corners of Li Sheng’s lips lifted, a hint of laughter in his voice: “Big Dad sensed Yuan Yuan.”
Hearing this, Feng Yuan giggled: “Big Dad’s lying.”
Big Dad wasn’t a phoenix. There was no way he could sense Yuan Yuan.
