Wen Hongying lowered her eyes and said meekly, "I understand."

Chen Houwen thought for a moment, then changed his mind and said, "Never mind, it would be better to take you to the hospital for a thorough medical check-up another day."

Upon hearing him say that, Wen Hongying's expression became extremely subtle again.

Although the person selling the medicine patted his chest and assured himself that the poison was extremely well-hidden.

But who can say for sure about these things?

Lin Zhenzhen was able to guess most of Wen Hongying's thoughts just from the expression on her face.

She quickly walked over to Chen Houwen and squatted down beside him.

She wrote: I am very healthy and do not need to go to the hospital for a check-up. If Dad has the time, I would rather accompany you to the check-up.

Due to his work, Chen Houwen often works irregular hours and has an irregular diet, which inevitably leads to some minor health problems.

In his earlier years, he would go for regular check-ups, but as he got older, the medical reports he received each year became longer and longer, and small problems gradually turned into big problems.

Later, he simply stopped going to the hospital for check-ups, citing lack of time as the reason.

Actually, he was just worried that one day he would be diagnosed with some incurable disease and he wouldn't know how to face it.

Wen Hongying and the others had tried to persuade him, but he always brushed them off.

But now, Chen Houwen looked at his sensible and well-behaved daughter. He looked into her already wet eyes, which seemed ready to burst into tears at any moment.

I really couldn't bear to refuse her request.

"Let's talk about this later when we have time." Chen Houwen didn't mention taking Lin Zhenzhen to the hospital for a check-up anymore. He glanced at his watch and instructed, "It's so late, go back to your room and rest early."

Lin Zhenzhen: Dad should also get some rest early.

"I still have some work to do, you go to sleep."

Lin Zhenzhen insisted, writing on a piece of paper: If Dad doesn't sleep, then I won't sleep either.

She even brought a small stool and sat next to Chen Houwen, as if determined to stand by him through thick and thin.

"Sister, let's go." Chen Xinji tugged at Lin Zhenzhen's sleeve, thinking to himself that if they didn't leave soon, their father's precious patience would run out.

The consequences could be terrible!

Unexpectedly, Chen Houwen laughed twice and actually put down what he was doing.

He patted Lin Zhenzhen on the back affectionately and said, "Okay, Dad will listen to you. It's fine to do the work tomorrow."

Lin Zhenzhen happily jumped up from the little stool, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"They say daughters are like warm little cotton-padded jackets, and it's true."

Chen Xinji and Wen Hongying, who were already stunned, looked at each other from a distance, both thinking: You clearly have another daughter, have you forgotten?

Lin Zhenzhen helped Chen Houwen up to the second floor. When they reached the entrance of the second-floor corridor, she let go of him and continued to walk up the steps.

"Wait a minute," Chen Houwen called out to her, "Where are you going?"

Lin Zhenzhen: I'm going back to my room.

"Your room is on the third floor?" Chen Houwen's face was already showing signs of anger. He raised his voice, "You've been sleeping in the attic all this time?"

Wen Hongying downstairs also heard this. She knew something was wrong and quickly went upstairs to explain.

"Houwen, the room prepared for Xiaozhen needs to be renovated, so she's only staying in the attic temporarily."

"Temporary stay? Does my Chen family not have a single decent room besides the attic?"

Wen Hongying stammered and couldn't speak.

Chen Houwen pointed at Wen Hongying's nose: "Alright, wake up Tian Tian and let Xiao Zhen sleep in her room."
