“Knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door.

"Mom, I'll help you serve the food."

Mu Qing guessed that her father had arranged for someone to bring dinner to her mother. She said something to her mother and went to open the door.

Unexpectedly, the person standing at the door was her handsome father. Mu Qing was about to call him "Dad" when Lan Rui quickly winked at her and made faces, reminding her not to shout, otherwise he would not even have the chance to look at his wife.

Mu Qing turned her head to look at her beautiful mother sitting on the sofa. Seeing that her mother didn't look at her, she quickly slipped out of the room and pulled her father who was looking inside aside.

"Qingqing."

Lan Rui called softly, "Let me look at your mother a few more times."

"Dad, my mom is so angry right now. If she sees you, she'll be so angry that she won't even eat. She'll be starving, and you'll be the one who feels bad."

Lan Rui: "...I just took a sneak peek."

Seeing his daughter glaring at him, he gave up helplessly and said, "Okay, I won't watch it anymore. Qingqing, how is your mother now? Is she feeling better? Did she say anything to you?"

"I coaxed my mom for a long time before she finally agreed to eat. She scolded my dad in front of me, repeatedly scolding him for a long time. Now my mom is in a better mood."

Lan Rui asked anxiously, "What did your mother scold me for? I should have asked you to record it for me. Today... I guess your mother won't want to talk to me for a long time. Even if it was her scolding, I can listen to it when I have time."

Mu Qing said embarrassedly, "Dad, I really didn't think of recording this for you. My mom was furious, and I could only coax her and comfort her. She scolded you, and I had to support her in scolding you. I didn't even think of recording this."

In fact, Mu Qing was also troubled by her parents' behavior today.

Lan Rui said regretfully, "I knew you wouldn't think of this if I didn't remind you."

Mu Qing admitted that she really didn't expect this.

"Dad, you went too far today. How could you treat my mom..."

"What's wrong with me? Without your father and I, where would you and your brother be so shameless?"

Lan Rui was very confident and he didn't force his wife.

Mu Qing was suddenly speechless and could only face her father with a helpless expression.

"Qingqing, do you think your dad has broken the law?"

Even if they are a legal couple, it is illegal to go against one's will. Lan Ruike understands the law. As soon as he sees his daughter's expression, he knows that she has misunderstood. He gestures for his daughter to take the tray. After Mu Qing took the tray, he hits Mu Qing on the head.

"dad."

Mu Qing was beaten so badly that she looked pitiful. However, she had dinner for her mother in her hands and could do nothing but let her father beat her.

"How dare you question your father like that? You say a daughter is a warm and caring little cotton-padded jacket, but to me, you're just a leaky, tattered brocade jacket."

After realizing that she had misunderstood her father, Mu Qing laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I have a leak. My cotton-padded jacket is torn. Dad, please give me some money to mend it or buy me a new one."

"I'd like to buy a new one. Your mother is so old now. Even if she can still have children, I'm worried that her body won't be able to handle it."

Lan Rui feels very regretful about having a baby.

The couple only have Lan Zheng and his sister in this life. Fortunately, they are twins, a boy and a girl, so they have two children. If there was only one child, he would be even more worried about having more children.

Mu Qing: “…”

"However, over the years, Dad has always asked Aunt Ling to help your mom take care of her body, and her health is still good. It's just that getting pregnant again might be much more tiring than when she was young. If she has twins, it will be even more tiring. I saw the news reports about those sixty-year-old elderly people who lost their only child and were able to have another child through scientific methods, and I thought..."

Lan Rui accidentally said out loud that he really wanted to have another child.

As he was talking, Lan Rui thought that Shen Yimo was almost 49 years old and could be a grandmother at this age. If Shen Yimo gave birth to a child again, it would hurt her greatly. In the end, he stopped talking and whispered to his daughter, "Qingqing, go buy your mother some of that, um, that medicine later and let your mother take it. In this life, your mother and I are content with having you two brothers and sisters."

If there is an afterlife, I will have more children with Yimo.

If her mother was only in her thirties now, Mu Qing would definitely support her parents in having another child, but her father was already fifty years old. It didn't matter to men, but no matter how well her mother took care of herself, she was almost forty-nine years old and it was not appropriate for her to have another child. Although she looked so playful in front of her mother, she was also worried about her mother's health.

Listening to his father's words and looking at his expression, Mu Qing knew that his father was thinking about having a few more children. He also wondered in his heart, "Does his father really not care about his mother's health?"

When Mu Qing heard her father asking her to buy medicine for her mother, she knew she was wrong.

The father cares more about the mother's health than anyone else. Between the two options of giving birth and the health of his wife, her father undoubtedly chooses the latter.

"Dad, I understand. I'll bring the food in first so it doesn't get cold. You can go downstairs and eat. After Mom has eaten and calmed down a bit, you can apologize to her."

Although her father did not break the law, her mother still thought her father was wrong.

Lan Rui nodded, "As long as your mother is willing to see me and talk to me, I won't be angry even if she curses my ancestors for eighteen generations."

Apologies are out of the question.

When there are no children around, he would even kneel down to his wife, as long as she could forgive him.

Of course, he wouldn't say this in front of his daughter. He had to retain some dignity as a father.

"Qingqing, Qingqing."

Shen Yimo was in the room and wondered why her daughter had been gone for so long, opening the door for her to get food.

"My mom called me, Dad, go eat quickly."

Mu Qing turned around with the tray in her hand and trotted towards the room, saying, "Mom, I'm coming, I'm coming."

Lan Rui quickly followed and watched his daughter carry a tray into the room and place the meals he had prepared for his wife on the coffee table one by one. Seeing that his wife was willing to eat, Lan Rui felt relieved.

He stared at it blankly for two minutes until his daughter noticed him, secretly waved at him and told him to go downstairs quickly. Only then did he go downstairs reluctantly.

After going downstairs, Lan Rui became the serious head of the Lan family again, completely different from the way he was in front of his daughter just now.

"Dad, how's Mom?"

Ye Junbo asked with concern.

"Excellent, can eat, drink and curse."

Ye Junbo: “…”

Lan Rui glanced at his son-in-law. Thinking of the love between his daughter and son-in-law, he suddenly felt jealous and said coldly, "Junbo, I asked Qingqing to stay in the garden tonight. It's nothing. You can take this little thing back to the manor."

Ye Junbo hadn't realized that his father-in-law was jealous of him and had sabotaging intentions, so he replied, "Dad, Long Ting and I can stay here and spend the night."

Lan Rui glared at him, acting like a father-in-law, and said sternly, "I told you to go back, so you went back. What's the matter? You still don't listen to me?"
