Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Hosting a Family of Four

Xiao Lingzhi grinned and grabbed her little hand, “Let’s go~ Let’s pick flowers on the mountain!”

Little Taotie looked up at the mountain and could see the hilltop covered with flowers. She was about to nod when she saw a staff member running towards them from afar.

The staff member was holding a box that looked familiar to them.

Xiao Lingzhi wondered, “Are we drawing balls again?”

The staff member nodded, “I need the two little guests to draw today’s task balls.”

Xiao Lingzhi drew a white ball.

Little Taotie drew a red ball again.

The staff member opened the slips of paper inside each ball.

White slip: Please entertain the guests and make them feel satisfied.

Red slip: Prepare a surprise gift.

The staff member explained with a smile, “The red ball is to assist the white ball.”

“If you had drawn the task to work for the villagers, then it would have been to prepare a surprise gift for the villagers. If you had drawn to perform in town, then it would have been to prepare a surprise gift for the audience.”

“Now that you’ve drawn to entertain guests, it means you should prepare a surprise gift for your guests.”

Gu Yixing, King of Film Xu, and Cheng Lu had also washed up and come out, hearing the task arranged by the staff member.

King of Film Xu asked, “Who are the guests?”

The staff member smiled, “They’ll arrive soon, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Don’t go!” Gu Yixing frowned, “Are you setting some kind of trap for us? If our guests aren’t satisfied with us, will there be a penalty?”

The staff member gave a mysterious smile, “That’s not something to reveal now.”

“Avoiding a straight answer, that says it all.” Gu Yixing said coldly.

The staff member turned and ran, not wishing to linger a moment longer, fearing to be drawn into saying more.

…

Just after they had finished eating the steamed buns they had traded for from the villagers, the guests arrived.

It was a family of four.

The man was a washed-up male model but still maintained a great figure, with sharp facial features that were strikingly defined.

The woman was a singer who wasn’t very good-looking, but she had a very pleasant voice and was still quite famous, with many dedicated fans.

They had two children, the elder daughter was seven years old, resembling her father with delicate features and deep-set eyes, standing a head taller than her peers.

Xiao Lingzhi, the same age as her, stood next to her, looking much younger with her short arms and legs.

The little boy, three years old, was soft and chubby, adorably cute, seeming to have picked the best features from both parents, inheriting his father’s handsome deep-set eyes and his mother’s round, harmless little round face.

The family introduced themselves. The elder daughter’s nickname was Little Jasmine because she loved jasmine flowers. As a baby, whenever she cried, her mother would sing about jasmine flowers, and then she would stop crying.

The little son was named Little Steamed Bun because, although his mother didn’t usually like steamed buns, she craved them during her pregnancy and would insist on eating them often, usually in the middle of the night.

The children played while the adults chatted inside the house, passing the time together.

Little Jasmine said to Little Taotie and Xiao Lingzhi, “Today is my parents’ wedding anniversary, and we want to prepare a gift, but we can’t think of what to get. Can you help us think of something?”

Little Steamed Bun eagerly nodded his little head along, “We want Mom and Dad to be happy!”

Xiao Lingzhi pointed towards the mountain, “We can pick flowers and give them to your parents!”

“Wouldn’t that be a bit too ordinary?” Little Jasmine worriedly asked.
