Chapter 790: Chapter 790 A Rare Invitation to Dinner

The flight was at nine in the morning, and they arrived in Jingcheng at half past twelve, just in ti for lunch.

Lin Feng got up at six to make breakfast. At seven, he received a call from the pregnant woman’s husband, who couldn’t stop thanking him.

While tidying up, Lin Feng said, "Congratulations on becoming a father."

The husband said, "It’s a girl, six pounds and six ounces. We owe it all to you, Master, and thank you for paying the hospital bill. Where are you? I’ll bring the money over right now."

Lin Feng replied, "Why don’t you just add

as a friend and transfer the money?"

Fifteen minutes later, the money was transferred with a note that read: *Thank you, Master.*

Lin Feng replied: *You’re welco.*

After finishing up, the family took their flight and arrived in Jingcheng at 12:25 PM.

Since the purpose of the trip was to discuss Cai Xia’s wedding, Lin Feng didn’t tell Er Bao and the others about their arrival. He planned to et up with them after things were settled.

Cai Xia’s parents ca to pick them up at the airport.

Lin Feng smiled. "We could have gotten here ourselves. There was no need for you to make the trip."

Cai Xia’s dad chuckled. "Of course, we had to co. We’re going to be one big family soon."

Cai Xia’s mother had the gentle, refined grace typical of the Jiangnan region. But when she walked alongside Zhang Yuxi, the latter held a slight edge in both beauty and elegance. Over the years, Zhang Yuxi had not only taken ticulous care of herself but also maintained a disciplined regin of Pilates, yoga, and fitness. Coupled with her natural bone structure, even the inevitable loss of collagen couldn’t diminish her beauty. In her fifties, she looked as if she were barely over forty.

All impeccably dressed, the group drew admiring glances from passersby.

They had lunch at Cai Xia’s ho, prepared by a housekeeper.

After lunch, knowing the adults wanted to talk, Xiao Bao thoughtfully suggested she and San Bao go for a walk. She wanted to visit Si Bao and Sister Jia Yi, and they also planned to find Er Bao. In short, their schedule was just as packed as their parents’.

Si Bao and Xuan Jiayi used to live in an apartnt, but they now resided in a large villa gifted to them by Xuan Jiayi’s father. Initially, Si Bao had sternly refused, insisting he had his own money. Although among the five siblings he was the poorest, he could still pull together several tens of millions. Besides, his side businesses had been quite profitable over the years.

Xuan Jiayi’s father persuaded him, "Save the money you’d spend on a house for your future. I have several properties in Jingcheng anyway."

Si Bao was convinced on the spot. "My father-in-law has a point."

Xiao Bao and San Bao called Si Bao, but he wasn’t ho. Xuan Jiayi answered instead.

"Hang on a minute. I haven’t eaten lunch yet, so I’ll treat you guys," she said. "Oh, by the way, give Er Bao a call, too. See if she’s eaten. If not, we can all go together..."

San Bao called Er Bao. Er Bao, who had already eaten, imdiately changed her tune. "A al? From Si Bao? That happens once in a blue moon! How could I possibly miss it? I’m not just coming, I’m going to eat my fill!"

Speaking of their eldest brother, Er Bao added, "I called Da Bao yesterday. He said he’s tied up with a project and probably can’t make it, but you should still give him a call just in case."

As it turned out, Da Bao really was swamped with his project and couldn’t get away. He suggested they could all have a family al before Lin Feng’s family left Jingcheng. He then added with a sigh of regret, "It’s so rare for Si Bao to treat soone to a al. Aiya, you guys have to eat extra for ."

Xiao Bao was stunned for a mont, then turned to San Bao in bewildernt. "Exactly how stingy is our brother Si Bao? For Da Bao and Er Bao to react like this..."

San Bao thought for a mont before replying, "I don’t know what he’s like here in Jingcheng, but whenever I’m here on business, I’m always the one paying for his als. He almost never treats ."

Xiao Bao searched her mories. The Si Bao I rember isn’t a stingy person at all.

Cai Xia was out of the country, and Qin Jiang was away on a mission. It looked like it would just be the siblings for now. In their group chat, Xiao Bao tagged the two absentees, saying it was a sha they couldn’t be there.

Just as Er Bao always said, you never knew when Qin Jiang would return. Even she, his wife, had no idea when he would be back. However, Er Bao had always cherished her freedom and had been reluctant to end up with Qin Jiang in the first place. So, she was quite satisfied with their current arrangent.

Cai Xia replied in the chat: *I’ll be back in the country tomorrow. Barring any surprises, I’ll join you all for dinner.*

Xiao Bao typed back: *Yay! Then we’ll wait for our sister-in-law to co back!*

The term "sister-in-law" made Cai Xia blush instantly. Xiao Bao had always called her "Sister Cai Xia" before. That clever little girl, as soon as she heard marriage was on the table, imdiately switched to the new title.

Xuan Jiayi chid in on the chat as well. *Your brother Si Bao said you were coming to our place. Where are you guys?*

Xiao Bao replied: *We’re downstairs!*

Xuan Jiayi: *Co on up and sit for a while. Si Bao will be back soon to change, then we can all head out together. I’ve already booked a restaurant.*

Xiao Bao: *Okie-dokie! You’re the best!*

Ten minutes later, they were at Si Bao’s villa. The house felt different from their last visit. It had a much homier atmosphere, filled with new furnishings and personal touches, many of which were Xuan Jiayi’s own designs.

"Have a seat. Here you go." Xuan Jiayi brought over a platter of fruit and snacks and asked Xiao Bao, "Want to watch so TV?"

Xiao Bao smiled. "Let’s cast a movie. Anything’s fine with ." Xuan Jiayi ended up leaving the choice to San Bao, who picked *Moonlight*.

As Xiao Bao snacked, she grew restless. "Sister Jia Yi, can you give

a tour? The house feels so different now."

Xuan Jiayi laughed. "Of course. Co on, I’ll show you to your room."

The villa was a three-bedroom, two-living-room layout, with a nursery, a guest room, and a master bedroom. Later, Si Bao cleared out the study, moving his office setup to the master bedroom’s balcony, and renovated the forr study into a new bedroom for Xiao Bao. In this family, any of the siblings could be asked to make a sacrifice, but never Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao blinked. "Why did you prepare a room for ?"

Xuan Jiayi smiled. "Your brother Si Bao said that you’ll be coming to Jingcheng for university, and you’ll definitely be visiting us often, so he wanted to have a room ready for you."

Xiao Bao looked around her new room, which was decorated in a style she loved. The design was probably based on her room back at the castle, as the styles were very similar.

Xuan Jiayi asked, "If there’s anything you don’t like, we can always change it later."

Xiao Bao shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, it’s perfect just the way it is."

But if I don’t get into a university in Jingcheng, won’t this room be a waste? she thought.

Seeming to read her mind, Xuan Jiayi added, "Your brother Si Bao also said that whether you get in or not, we should always have a room for you here. Besides, didn’t your sister Er Bao set aside a room for you at her place, too?"

Er Bao’s house was much larger than this one. Among the five siblings, she was by far the wealthiest. Plus, she liked big houses and planned to host gatherings, so she made sure to buy one that was spacious enough. She had a guest room upstairs with an en-suite bathroom that was renovated specifically for Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao had drawn up the design plans herself, based on the room’s dinsions, and then gave them to Er Bao to handle the renovation.

Si Bao’s voice drifted up from downstairs; he was back. He managed to shower and change his clothes in less than five minutes, though no one was quite sure how he did it.

"Let’s go! I’m treating you all to a big feast."

By the ti they arrived at the restaurant, Er Bao was already waiting, a grin on her face as she looked at Si Bao. She declared boldly, "I’m going to eat you out of house and ho tonight. I ca prepared."

Si Bao laughed heartily. "I’m not scared! Bring it on!" With that, he flagged down a waiter and asked for more of the free appetizers.

Er Bao imdiately started mocking him. "I an, really, Si Bao, can’t you be a little more generous? I’m your second sister, you know!"

Si Bao retorted, "And I’m your fourth brother! Why can’t you try to save

a little money, huh?"

San Bao leisurely opened the nu and began ordering all the restaurant’s signature dishes. Having eaten there before, he knew they were not only delicious but also very expensive.
