Chapter 1289: Harmony and Beauty, All Wishes Come True
Four dishes and one soup were placed on the table.
Especially the rice cakes made by Zhang Qiufeng herself are exceptionally sweet.
"Qiu Feng, when I was out before, what I wanted to eat most was the food you cooked."
Ye Dongming poured himself a glass of wine and ate with gusto.
"Before, it was because our family was poor, but over the years, you have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and what I cook is just a homely meal."
Zhang Qiufeng said whatever she thought.
"That's different. No matter how good the food outside is, it can never compare to the food at home."
Ye Dongming praised her cooking skills.
These days, she seems to be particularly unsure of herself, which was not the case before.
Zhang Qiufeng finally couldn't help laughing.
He always spoke to her heart.
"Lao Wang's wife said yesterday that her daughter-in-law is pregnant and has been pregnant for almost three months."
"Ah, his son is already grown up, this is his first child, right?"
Ye Dongming continued talking along with her topic.
"Yes." Zhang Qiufeng said, coughing, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. "Dongming, we, we..."
"What's wrong with us?" Ye Dongming asked.
Zhang Qiufeng's face turned red before she could even utter a word.
"Should we consider having a child?"
"puff!"
The wine that Ye Dongming had just taken a breath of sprayed out, and he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
His reaction made Zhang Qiufeng feel her face burning, and she quickly handed him a tissue.
Ye Dongming wiped the corner of his mouth and watched her eyes change again and again.
"Qiu Feng, you are wrong, right?"
Their daughter is at an age where she is about to get married. Did she mean to give her daughter a younger brother?
Zhang Qiufeng was so embarrassed, "I was just talking casually."
It's their fault that they have been separated for sixteen years and have missed their best years. Otherwise, Yaoyao would definitely not be the only child now.
"are you serious?"
Ye Dongming finally saw through her attitude and put down his chopsticks, feeling unbelievable.
"Of course not, it just suddenly occurred to me that you once said you loved children. Shouldn't we have more?"
Zhang Qiufeng hurriedly explained, fearing that he had "misunderstood".
"You are talking about sixteen years ago, right? We were still young then, and I was thinking of having at least two children, but now we are at this age, and your body can't handle it."
Ye Dongming said seriously that he couldn't bear to let her suffer that kind of pain again.
Moreover, this kind of thing is not something that can be decided by just the two of them now. If they really want to do it, they have to ask their daughter's opinion.
He didn't want to create a rift with his daughter again because of this.
But why did she suddenly want to have a baby? !
"I was just saying it anytime, why did you take it so seriously? We are already so old, and having a child is a joke."
Zhang Qiufeng repeated it again.
"But……"
"Let's eat, it's getting cold."
Zhang Qiufeng interrupted Ye Dongming and obviously didn't want to continue.
Ye Dongming stared at her with flickering eyes.
Ever since his daughter went out, he has been finding it increasingly difficult to understand many of her thoughts.
…
"Keiko, this is your last chance, you must seize it."
Gu Benzhizhong was more solemn than ever before. If possible, he would like to do it for her.
Yoshida Keiko's face was gloomy. "How do you know?"
She never mentioned a single word in front of him about Ishikawa Mika asking her to drug Ye Yao.
"Ishikawa-kun told me. He said that as long as you do well this time, he won't cause you any trouble in the future."
Gu Benzhizhong spoke with difficulty. In fact, this was an opportunity that she had fought hard for.
But he didn't understand why she kept hesitating. Yoshida Keiko's eyes shook violently. Ishikawa Mika was really "anxious" and actually told him everything.
"Zhizhong, this is my business, please don't interfere, okay?"
"How can I not interfere? If you don't do it, what will you face when you go back? Do I need to remind you? Besides, all these grievances were originally because of that woman.
If she hadn't instigated you from the beginning, even if you broke up with Ishikawa-kun, it wouldn't have ended in a complete breakdown.
You were used by that woman, so no matter what you do to that woman now, it is what you deserve."
Ishikawa Mika told him very clearly that if Yoshida Keiko still chose that woman this time, then there would be no place for her and the entire Yoshida family in Country R! "I'm already so annoyed, can't you just say less?"
Yoshida Keiko sharpened her voice. Although she knew that he was doing this for her own good, he would only hinder her judgment! Furumoto Tomohisagi's next words were stuck in his throat, and he looked a little depressed.
In the final analysis, he was useless and silence couldn't help her.
The room was silent.
I don’t know how much time passed, Yoshida Keiko sighed softly.
"Zhizhong, you underestimated Ye Yao. Haven't you seen clearly what has happened in these days? Even Ishikawa Mika has been schemed against by her time and time again. Do you think Ishikawa Mika's plan can succeed this time?"
Her words made Gu Benzhizhong frown.
"You mean, you're afraid that your plan will fail and that you'll be targeted by that woman?"
Yoshida Keiko didn't say anything, but her reaction had already given him a positive answer.
"What should we do then?"
So now she is in a dilemma.
"Let me think about it."
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the phone in Ye Yao's room rang.
"Hello?"
"Ye Yao, it's me, Huizi. Are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner."
"Is there something wrong?"
Ye Yao did not agree immediately, but asked.
"It's nothing important, I just want to get together with you."
Yoshida Keiko didn't say anything more.
"Not tonight. Tonight is our New Year's Eve and I want to be with my companions."
When Ye Yao heard her say it was okay, he directly refused.
"So that's how it is. I didn't think it through. What about tomorrow night?"
"Tomorrow night is fine."
"Okay then, I'll contact you tomorrow."
Yoshida Keiko was obviously relieved when she said this.
"Okay, is there really nothing wrong?"
Before hanging up the phone, Ye Yao confirmed it with her again.
There must be a reason for suddenly asking her out for dinner.
"Well, let's talk about it after we meet."
Yoshida Keiko still said nothing.
Ye Yao did not ask any more questions, put down the phone, and looked at Wang Da Kui who was hanging red lanterns in her room.
Originally, she thought that this was unnecessary, but the boy was very excited and she didn't want to refuse him.
"Aunt, how is it, does it look good?"
"Yeah, it looks good."
"And here are these two Chinese characters for blessing. I'll help you stick them on the window."
Wang Da Kui was even happier to receive her praise.
This is their first time to celebrate the New Year abroad, and such an opportunity is rare.
"That's about right."
Ye Yao reminded him that everything was red and he would have to wait for the room cleaning staff to come and explain.
"Aunt, who called you just now?"
Wang Da Kui thought of Wang Song’s previous instructions and couldn’t help but ask.
"It's Yoshida Keiko."
Ye Yao told the truth.
"That chick from Country R? What did she say to you on the phone?"
Wang Da Kui immediately rolled his eyes, not knowing what happened between Ye Yao and Yoshida Keiko, so he automatically categorized her as being on Ishikawa Mika's side.
"It's not a big deal, he just wants to treat me to a meal."
"When did you two become so close? Was it the Hongmen Banquet?"
Wang Da Kui's subconscious words made Ye Yao's eyes flicker.
Whether it was the Hongmen Banquet or not, we’ll know only after we go there.
"Did you promise her? I'll go with you."
Wang Dakai volunteered directly.
"It should be just a casual meal in the hotel restaurant..."
"Then I'll go with you."
Wang Da Kui interrupted her before she could finish her words.
Ye Yao thought about it and didn’t say yes, but he didn’t say no either.
…
After Yoshida Keiko hung up the microphone, her face looked extremely tense.
Finally she decided to do it.
Hopefully, after this time, all her difficulties will be solved.
After a moment, she picked up the phone again and dialed Ishikawa Mika's number.
The call was connected quickly.
"I have already made an appointment with Ye Yao to have dinner together tomorrow night. I am only responsible for getting her to drink the powder. I will not interfere with what happens next."
"Okay, there's no need for you to intervene."
Ishikawa Mika seemed to have guessed that she would agree, and there was no trace of surprise in her voice.
"After I finish this, I will return to my country. There will be nothing between you and me anymore!"
Yoshida Keiko emphasized again.
Ishikawa Mika said nothing, but just smiled meaningfully.
…
At this moment in China, it is a night with thousands of lights on and families reunited.
Ye Dongming and Zhang Qiufeng were at Li's house, full of laughter and joy.
“Dumplings are coming!”
Shen Yun brought the last plate of dumplings to the table, then took off her apron and sat down.
Ye Dongming and Li Guoxiong were already a little drunk, and both of them had bright smiles on their faces.
"Come on, shall the four of us have a drink together?"
Ye Dongming took the initiative to suggest. Such a scene had appeared in his dreams too many times before.
"good!"
Li Guoxiong responded first, and then Zhang Qiufeng and Shen Yun also picked up the cups in front of them.
What was in their glasses was not drinks, but red wine.
Although Zhang Qiufeng really couldn't get used to drinking this, it was a day like today after all.
"Although the four of us are one year older, our lives will be harmonious and happy in the future, and all our dreams will come true!"
"Yes, I wish us all can live in harmony and have all our wishes come true!"
The four cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
