Chapter 832 Did you know he likes men?
Jiang Yuanliang quickly chimed in, "I'll go to Grandpa Yu's place in the next couple of days to calculate an auspicious date."
“I already consulted him for a reading.”
The old man then took out another piece of paper, unfolded it, and handed it to the two of them: "The master said these dates are all auspicious. You two can discuss them, but the wedding must be held before winter."
The two exchanged a smile, never expecting that the old man had secretly calculated the dates for them.
After having a meal with the old man, the two left together. The old man also asked Shen Jingjing to come over often, because he secretly hoped that his son could come back more often.
Shen Jingjing understood immediately and readily agreed.
On the way back, Jiang Yuanliang held Shen Jingjing's hand tightly the whole time.
"I've never seen you so nervous before." Shen Jingjing turned her head and looked at him with gentle eyes.
Jiang Yuanliang smiled slightly: "Is it that obvious?"
Shen Jingjing nodded.
“My father has a very eccentric personality. Sometimes I really can’t tell what he will do or say.”
Jiang Yuanliang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all good now. We've finally gotten through the toughest part. No wonder Uncle Feng just secretly told me that he's been to Grandpa Yu's place several times recently. He must have been persuaded by Grandpa Yu."
“It’s just that Jingjing…” He looked at Shen Jingjing with heartache in his eyes and said, “I really don’t want you to have any more children.”
"Why? Don't you want it?"
"Of course not, I'm worried about you."
Shen Jingjing smiled: "You don't need to worry about me, just respect my decision."
She gripped Jiang Yuanliang's large hand tightly and said sincerely, "I just want a child that belongs to both of us. Luckily, I can still have children. Medical care is very advanced now. Although it is more difficult for older mothers than for younger women, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Hearing Shen Jingjing say this, Jiang Yuanliang was deeply moved. A child that belongs to both of them—that statement was incredibly convincing.
"If you're free today, let's go get checked out. If everything's fine, we can get the certificate first. Isn't Grandpa in a hurry for this?"
Jiang Yuanliang nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The launch event for Li's AI new products was broadcast live today by multiple media outlets.
Many leading figures and tech experts in the field were invited to participate. Nowadays, any news related to artificial intelligence is always a hot topic.
"Hi, Mr. Lucas!"
While busy searching for Lucas, Li Wanchang rushed over to greet him as soon as Lucas appeared.
"Hi Mr. Li." Lucas shook hands with the other party and said politely, "Congratulations, I hope everything goes well for you today."
Li Wanchang said with great enthusiasm, "Thank you for coming. I hope that after watching today's press conference, you will reconsider your cooperation with us."
At this point, Lucas was clearly more inclined to side with Shen Ci. Although the contract had not yet been finalized, every time Shen Ci's sincerity and Su Zheyuan's face flashed through his mind, Lucas became more certain.
Clearly, emotional value is important to him.
Li Wanchang's performance was too businesslike and formal, failing to accurately grasp Lucas's personality and clearly misdirecting his efforts.
But just then, Li Xiao appeared!
With his handsome Asian features and tall, upright figure, he approached Lucas, but addressed his father directly, saying, "Dad, a reporter from the Longcheng Business Daily wants to interview you."
Lucas's eyes lit up the moment he saw Li Xiao. To be fair, Li Xiao's appearance was better than Su Zheyuan's, and even better than most Chinese boys.
"I have distinguished guests to entertain, so the interview will be scheduled after the press conference."
Li Xiao nodded, and was about to leave so as not to disturb his father's reception of distinguished guests, when Lucas took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Li, is this your son?"
Li Xiao stopped in his tracks.
Li Wanchang quickly followed up, saying, "Yes, Mr. Lucas, this is my son, Li Xiao, who is currently studying at the Royal Polytechnic University of Duncheng."
"Really? That's my junior!" Lucas looked at Li Xiao with a mixture of surprise and delight, and extended his hand.
Li Xiao was also pleasantly surprised and shook Lucas's hand: "Sir, you're also from the 'Royal Polytechnic of Duncheng'?"
“Yes, what a coincidence.” Lucas said warmly and proactively, “I have many old acquaintances in the academy, some professors and deans are my friends. If you need any help, you can let me know.”
"Thank you so much, but I'm a little embarrassed to trouble you, sir."
"You're welcome. It's fate that we met junior students in China."
When Li Wanchang saw that there was such a relationship, it was as if the heavens had helped him. Moreover, Lucas's attitude towards his son was obviously much warmer and more natural than towards himself. Perhaps the breakthrough was with his son!
During a break, he pulled his son aside and whispered, "This Mr. Lucas is the CEO of a foreign terminal technology group. If you can find a way to get their technology for us to use, the board of directors will definitely give you a big reward, which will be a strong bargaining chip when you take over the group!"
Li Xiao frowned: "But aren't they asking for a very high price? We won't make any money even if we acquire the technology."
"Making money is not our priority right now. We can't fall behind or leave the field of artificial intelligence, so we need technological support."
Li Xiao nodded in understanding: "I understand, Dad, but I'll only be back for half a month this time. Time is running out, so I can only do my best."
“Mr. Lucas is leaving in a few days, so you really don’t have much time left. You have to do your best!” Patting his son on the shoulder, Li Wanchang encouraged him, “Keep it up. Try to chat with him as much as possible. I think he’s quite friendly to you. Get his contact information first, so you can still contact him even after he leaves.”
"clear."
Li Xiao took a deep breath and walked back into the venue, only to see Shen Ci as soon as he looked up.
With Qiu Keying absent today, Li Xiao finally had nothing to worry about and strode up to Shen Ci: "How did you get in?"
Upon seeing Li Xiao, Shen Ci's face instantly turned sour: "I walked in, did you fly in?"
She laughed again, but it was a contemptuous laugh. She looked at Li Xiao and said, "I just saw you chatting with Mr. Lucas. What were you talking about?"
"No comment!" Li Xiao narrowed his eyes. "You're not planning some kind of underhanded trick again, are you?"
“I’m always straightforward and never resort to underhanded tactics.” Shen Ci pursed his lips, then added with a half-smile, “However, I definitely know Lucas better than you do.”
"Did you know he likes men?"
Shen Ci blurted it out so bluntly that it startled Li Xiao.
Seeing this, Shen Ci laughed: "You studied abroad and you're making a fuss about this? I'm just reminding you not to waste your energy. Just go and sleep with him, and maybe everything will be fine!"
Happy New Year, my little ones! Please vote for me with your monthly tickets this New Year. Love you all, muah!
