A table full of dishes, full of colour and flavour.
“Little Ye, try this Xiao Long Bao, your uncle made it himself.”
Li Muqing used her chopsticks to clip a xiao long bao and put it in Ye Qiu’s bowl, saying, “Exquisite loved eating xiao long bao since childhood, last night when he heard that Exquisite was coming back, his dad stayed up all night preparing these dishes ……”
“Say less, still letting people eat.”Lin Liguo glared at Li Muqing.
Only then did Li Muqing realise that Lin Exquisite had tears in her eyes, and she busily asked, “Exquisite, what’s wrong with you?”
“Dad, mum, thank you.”Lin Exquisite quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, “It feels so good to be home.”
“Then you should come back more often in the future, so that your dad doesn’t have to read about you every day at home.”
“Hmm.”
“I also hope that the next time you guys come back, it won’t be two of you, but three of you.”
Li Muqing said meaningfully.
Ye Qiu understood that his mother-in-law was hinting at them to have a child earlier.
Who knows, Lin Exquisite said, “Mum, you guys should also work hard and try to give me a younger brother.”
In an instant, Li Muqing’s face turned red.
Lin Liguo glared at Lin Delicate and said in a deep voice, “What nonsense, I’m fifty.”
“What’s wrong with fifty?”Lin Exquisite said, “A man’s forty is a flower, fifty is the time when this flower blooms in full bloom, you guys work harder and try to give me a younger brother earlier.”
“It’s enough that we have you as a daughter, what more children do we need, besides, even if we have this heart, our body can’t do it.” Li Muqing said.
“You don’t have to worry about this, Ye Qiu can help you guys. Right, Ye Qiu?”Lin Exquisite looked at Ye Qiu.
“Hmm.”Ye Qiu nodded and said, “Sister Lin is right, I’m a bit proficient in Chinese medicine’s way of nourishing the body, so I should be able to help you guys.”
“Little Ye, your aunt is also in her forties, having another child would be an advanced maternal age, isn’t it dangerous?”
Lin Liguo and Li Muqing both looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu saw the expectation in the eyes of the two, it was obvious that they also wanted a child.
“Although medically speaking, an age of more than thirty-five weeks old is considered an advanced maternal age, in real life, many people don’t want a child until they’re forty or fifty years old, and even, it’s not uncommon for people to want a child at the age of sixty. I saw on the news some time ago that the King of Gamblers even gave birth to a son when he was seventy-four.”
Ye Qiu continued, “I just observed Uncle and Auntie’s complexion, you are both in good health, so if you really want to have a child, it’s not too late.”
“Really?”Li Muqing was very surprised.
Ye Qiu nodded heavily, “Really.”
Lin Liguo was a bit unconvinced and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Little Ye, you only looked at our faces and said that we are healthy, why do I feel that you don’t look like a medical student, but more like a face reader.”
Ye Qiu explained, “Uncle, you don’t know, Chinese medicine talks about ‘looking, smelling, questioning, and cutting’, and a highly skilled Chinese medicine practitioner can tell someone’s physical condition with a single glance.”
Lin Liguo laughed, “I can hear it, Xiao Ye is saying that he is a highly skilled Chinese medicine practitioner.”
“Dad, you don’t know, Ye Qiu has treated many patients who were on the verge of death, his medical skills are indeed very impressive.”Lin Exquisite interjected.
“Is that so?”Lin Liguo was surprised.
Lin Exquisite added, “Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to be promoted to become the Director of Jiangzhou Hospital’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at such a young age.”
At once, Lin Liguo’s eyes became deep as he looked at Ye Qiu.
Although he hadn’t worked in a hospital, he had quite a few doctor friends and knew that under normal circumstances, a doctor had to be at least forty years old if he wanted to become a department head.
Ye Qiu was only in his early twenties when he became a director, not simple na!
Lin Liguo suddenly found that he was somewhat unable to see through Ye Qiu.
“Little Ye, are your parents’ health all right?”Lin Liguo said with concern.
“My mother’s body is quite good, as for my father ……,” Ye Qiu paused for a moment and said, “Uncle, honestly, I don’t know where my father is, whether he’s alive or dead I don’t even know. ”
“Oh.”
Lin Liguo let out an oh, didn’t continue this topic so as not to cause Ye Qiu to grieve, said, “Exquisite, after dinner you guys have a good rest, in the evening our family will go to wish your grandfather a happy birthday.”
“Okay.”Lin Exquisite nodded her head in agreement.
Li Muqing pulled out a bank card from her wallet and put it in front of Lin Exquisite, saying, “Take some time today and take Xiao Ye to buy a set of clothes.”
“Mum, you don’t need to give me money, I have money of my own.”Lin Exquisite added, “Ye Qiu doesn’t lack money either, he has a shopping mall in Jiangzhou that’s worth over a billion.”
What!
Li Muqing and Lin Liguo were stunned.
Ye Qiu was so rich?
Ye Qiu also smiled and said, “Auntie, you don’t have to be polite, I have the money to buy clothes.”
Li Muqing came back to her senses and smiled, “Auntie knows that you don’t lack money, this is a little bit of my heart, if you refuse, you’re not giving me face.”
“Auntie ……”
“Listen to me, exquisite, take my card to buy a set of clothes for Xiaoye, tonight your grandfather’s birthday banquet will come to a lot of people, all the dignitaries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will attend, Xiaoye is also the first time to come to our home, can’t let others look down on him.”
“Good.”
Lin Exquisite accepted the bank card.
“Alright, let’s eat!”
The family ate happily.
At noon.
Lin Exquisite brought Ye Qiu to a shopping mall to pick out the clothes for tonight’s birthday banquet.
Ye Qiu entered the fitting room and had just taken off his clothes when Lin Delicate suddenly drilled in.
“Sister Lin, why did you come in?”
Ye Qiu was startled and asked.
“Honey, are you tired?”Lin Exquisite asked with concern.
Ye Qiu shook his head, “Not tired.”
“Great.”Lin Delicate instantly smiled like a flower, hooked her hands around Ye Qiu’s neck, wrapped around him like a water snake and said daintily, “Hubby, let’s do sports.”
Here?
Ye Qiu was nervous, if he was seen, it might become a national joke like a certain fitting room incident.
“Sister Lin, let’s go home when we’ve bought the clothes and do it at home, okay?”
“It’s not very convenient at home.”
“Then let’s get a hotel.”
“I don’t like staying in hotels.”
“Really can’t, then …… go to the car.”Ye Qiu’s face turned red, the car was already his limit.
“No, I can’t wait, I want it now.”
“But ……”
“Don’t worry, I’ve greeted the two waiters outside, as long as we move a little, it’s fine.”
Ye Qiu was on the verge of crying, “Sister Lin, on the way back, didn’t I satisfy you?”
“Hubby, don’t you know that women can’t be fed enough?”
Lin’s long delicate eyelashes blinked, staring at Ye Qiu with watery eyes, then slowly removed the clothes on her body ……
