Dugu Zixi drove his five-star luxury car, speeding towards the new beauty and skincare company created by Shen Tianxing and Dugu Juni.
Upon seeing Shen Tianxing’s figure, Dugu Zixi felt his drifting spirit finally settle down.
Shen Tianxing saw him coming and rely smiled, sending him a telepathic ssage, "Xixi, wait for a second, I’ll be done soon."
Dugu Zixi nodded, "Alright."
At that mont, Dugu Juni also saw him and hurried over, "Zixi, have you finished everything on your end?"
Dugu Zixi humd softly and then asked Dugu Juni, "Auntie, how much longer does Xiaoxing have to work? Don’t wear her out."
Dugu Juni teased him with a smile, "Oh, getting worried now?"
Dugu Zixi replied matter-of-factly, "She’s my wife, of course, I worry about her."
Dugu Juni looked at him with wide eyes, as if seeing him for the first ti, and then said with a face full of surprise, "Zixi, I feel like you’ve changed so much, and way too much at that, I hardly recognize you anymore!"
Dugu Zixi smiled faintly, "It must be your misconception, I am still !"
Dugu Juni snorted coldly, "You never used to be so easy to talk to in the past, always sulking like a closed gourd. When auntie tried to tease you, you would even roll your eyes at . Now, your temper has improved so much compared to before."
Dugu Zixi gave her a slight glare and said no more, just gazed steadily at Shen Tianxing.
It was not easy to wait until Shen Tianxing’s experint finally ca to a pause.
Shen Tianxing told the researchers to monitor the data and walked over to him.
The mont Dugu Juni saw Shen Tianxing coming over, she tactfully said, "You two go ahead and chat, I’ll go over and see how they’re doing."
Dugu Zixi imdiately waved her away like shooing a fly, provoking Dugu Juni’s urge to hit him!
Shen Tianxing saw the annoyed and speechless expression on Dugu Juni’s face and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Auntie, I’ll deal with him in a bit."
Dugu Juni nodded as if it were an important task, "Okay, make sure you discipline him well; otherwise, this guy is too much to handle."
Dugu Zixi directly ignored her, grabbed Shen Tianxing’s hand, and started walking outside.
Shen Tianxing quickly tugged at him and asked, "Hey, where are we going? I still have to check the data later..."
Dugu Zixi stretched out his wrist and presented his watch in front of Shen Tianxing, "Look at the ti, what ti is it now?"
Shen Tianxing glanced at the ti and suddenly exclaid, "Ah? It’s already six o’clock in the evening? How did ti pass so quickly? I feel like I haven’t done much at all!"
Dugu Zixi firmly and domineeringly pulled her along while they walked out, "You can never finish all the work. Let’s call it a day for now, and don’t forget, you said you wanted to go ho for dinner with grandma and grandpa."
Shen Tianxing slapped her own head, "Ouch, look at my mory, I completely forgot when I got busy. Hurry and call grandma and grandpa, we’ll go back now. Oh, and let call Auntie too!"
Right after Shen Tianxing’s voice fell, Dugu Zixi’s phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from ho.
Dugu Zixi quickly answered, "Hello, grandma, we’re on our way back now. Yes, we’ll be ho in about half an hour. Alright, we’ll be careful, don’t worry!"
After he finished the call, Shen Tianxing telepathically asked Dugu Juni, "Auntie, we’re about to head ho for dinner with grandma and grandpa, do you want to co with us?"
Although Dugu Juni couldn’t see Shen Tianxing, she heard her voice and knew she must be using "Immortal Technique" to speak to her.
Dugu Juni could only speak to the air, "I won’t go back, I’ll keep an eye on them here. You two hurry back and accompany the old folks!"
Shen Tianxing replied, "Then we’ll head off first, we can talk about everything else tomorrow."
"Okay."
By the ti Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing got back to the Imperial Compound, it was already 7 o’clock in the evening.
Even CEO Dugu Jun’an and his wife, Ye Ningning, had already returned ho.
The mont Dugu Jun’an saw them, he teased them with a smile, "Wow, you two are busier than your mom and I are!"
Ye Ningning lightly smacked him and said with feigned annoyance, "What’s so strange about them being busy? You’re making a fuss over nothing."
Dugu Jun’an looked at Ye Ningning discontentedly and asked with a whiny face, "Wife, whose side are you on?"
Ye Ningning snorted proudly, "Today, I’m standing on the side of my son and daughter-in-law."
"Oh dear, wife, I’m wounded!" Dugu Jun’an instantly put on an act, falling over as if struck by an arrow.
It was Shen Tianxing’s first ti seeing Dugu Jun’an act so playful, and she instantly felt that the CEO’s public persona had crumbled!
So the CEO had this side to him too.
The old Madam Dugu chided with amusent from the side, "Look at you acting all silly. You’re about to be a grandfather and still so childish. Cut it out and co eat."
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes."
The family gathered around a table of delicious food and ate to their hearts’ content.
The old Madam and Ye Ningning kept filling Shen Tianxing’s plate, "Xiaoxing, eat so more."
"Yes, Xiaoxing, you’re so skinny, you don’t need to diet."
Shen Tianxing laughed lightly, "I’m not on a diet, Grandma, Mom. Didn’t you see eating my fill?"
After dinner, Shen Tianxing chatted with the old Madam and Ye Ningning.
The old Master, the CEO, and Dugu Zixi went into the study to summarize and plan for the events of the day.
The three of them talked until almost 11 o’clock at night.
By then, Shen Tianxing and the old Madam and Ye Ningning had already gone back to their rooms to sleep.
Feeling embarrassed to sleep in Dugu Zixi’s room, Shen Tianxing slumbered in the guest room that the Dugu family had prepared for her.
When Dugu Zixi found her, he saw that she had already fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion. Not wishing to disturb her, he gently kissed her cheek and obediently went back to his room to sleep.
The next day.
As the sun began to rise, Shen Tianxing woke up feeling refreshed and reinvigorated.
She habitually extended her Divine Sense first to survey her surroundings.
When she realized that Dugu Zixi had already prepared breakfast and that the old Master, the old Madam, and even Dugu Jun’an and Ye Ningning were all up, Shen Tianxing jumped out of bed in shock.
How could she have slept so soundly today?
It was so embarrassing for a guest to wake up later than the hosts.
Zixi really should have woken her up earlier.
While berating herself, Shen Tianxing quickly tidied up, changed into fresh clothes, and darted to the dining table.
With an apologetic face, she bowed to the old Master and the old Madam, saying, "I’m so sorry for keeping all the elders waiting for to have breakfast, sorry! Sorry!"
The old Madam laughed, "We’re all family now, why stand on ceremony? Sit down quickly!"
