Chapter 497: Chapter 497

"Why didn’t you dry your hair before coming down?" Xia Shi, coming out of the kitchen, saw Bi Xia surrounded by Bi Xiaoyuan and Bi Xiaohai, and first smiled, then frowned.

Bi Xia bent down to let Bi Xiaoyuan off, touched his hair and chuckled, "It’s fine, it’ll dry naturally. It’s better for the hair."

Xia Shi rolled his eyes, "Trust Mom, our skin, hair, and complexion are absolutely guaranteed of perfect quality."

"So next time, dry it before you come out." Grabbing Bi Xia, Xia Shi dragged him to the first-floor bathroom, pulled out a hairdryer from his room, plugged it in, and felt awkward for a moment as he looked at Bi Xia, who was taller than he was. Bi Xia chuckled, bent down voluntarily, making his height just right for Xia Shi.

Empress Dowager Xia was very pleased with Bi Xia’s cooperation, praised him first, then turned on the hairdryer, and started operating it on his hair.

"Oh my, Xiaxia’s hair is so soft~" she said, touching his black short hair.

Bi Xia: "Whatever you say."

Upon hearing Bi Xia’s words, Xia Shi laughed heartily and unabashedly said, "It does come from me. Your mother is forever young at heart!"

"Oh, Xiaxia," Xia Shi suddenly changed her tone and looked mischievously at Bi Xia, "Other than Mom, has anyone else dried your hair for you?"

His stern face turned slightly red, either from the hairdryer or the stuffiness of the bathroom. He nodded lightly and said, "Fourth Brother did."

"Ahhhhh!!!!" An excited scream erupted suddenly. Bi Xia jumped up and stared at the woman in front of him holding the hairdryer, screaming excitedly, "Ahhhhh!!!!"

"So sweet~~~~" Xia Shi turned off the hairdryer, holding her chest, "I can’t believe our son-in-law has such a handsome, cold face, yet he treats our daughter so well. As a mother, I’m relieved."

Are you marrying off your daughter???

With a face full of black lines, Bi Xia sighed lightly, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Xia Shi excited inside.

"Brother, what’s wrong with Mom?" Bi Xiaoyuan came over to Bi Xia’s side, looking at him curiously.

Bi Xia shrugged and smiled lightly, "Don’t mind her, she’s just fangirling."

Bi Xiaoyuan: ... Brother, is it really okay to talk about Mom that way?

Hearing the sound coming from the bathroom, Bi Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, then coughed lightly. Oh well, it was the truth after all...

With a light sigh, Bi Xiaoyuan leaned on his chopsticks and looked at Bi Xia mournfully, "Brother, why is Mom becoming more and more of a fangirl? Though she used to be emotional, at least she was somewhat bearable. But now, I find I can’t keep up with her thoughts."

He patted Bi Xiaoyuan’s small head, "There’s no way around it, maybe she was suppressed too much in her previous life and plans to exact revenge in this one." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net

Saying this, Bi Xia picked up a piece of meat for Bi Xiaoyuan, "But Mom’s cooking skills have returned, so we could say it’s a blessing in disguise. Come on, eat more, my Little Bun."

Bi Xiaoyuan also picked up a piece of meat for Bi Xia, his big eyes shining as he looked at him, "Brother, you eat more too. You’ve worked hard, my dear brother."

The two of them looked at each other and sighed simultaneously.

Empress Dowager Xia came out of the bathroom: ... Feeling blue!

She coughed lightly and sat back in her seat, looking at the two children who were eating quietly. She pursed her lips and was about to speak when Bi Xia slowly said, "Go ahead, you’ve been holding it in for so long, pretending to be clueless."

Xia Shi: ... Crap! I’ve been found out!

"I..." Xia Shi poked at the rice in her bowl, "I was planning to either sell our current little shop or expand it."

"Huh?" Bi Xia looked up at Xia Shi.

Xia Shi said, "There are more and more customers in the store now. Many of them have suggested that we expand so there will be more space, and we won’t have to worry about the store being too small. So I was thinking..."

Gently stroking Xia Shi’s head, Bi Xia smiled lightly and said, "Let’s eat first. After dinner, I’ll take you somewhere."
