She knew perfectly well how the Long family viewed her, given her previous estrangement from them.
Although she didn't care much about these things, she would care if they affected her and Long Yunting.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll pay the bill for today. Please order whatever you like, don't be shy."
Long Bai'an frowned.
You're welcome.
What are you pretending to be, a rich guy?
It's probably their second brother's money that was spent.
Sheng Qian and Long Yunting are already married. Even if she spends Long Yunting's money, no one else has the right to say anything. After all, it was Long Yunting who gave it to Sheng Qian. Do they really want to interfere with the young couple's finances?
"How could I let you spend the money?" Hou Guifang said with a smile. "This meal is on me. You can eat as much as you want."
“Second Aunt, then we won’t stand on ceremony,” Long Hongwen said first.
Seeing this, the others chimed in, and the atmosphere finally warmed up.
After ordering, while waiting, Hou Guifang reintroduced the dishes to everyone so that everyone would have a better understanding of them.
With Deng Zhiying present, Long Bai'an didn't dare to act recklessly; he still had to maintain appearances.
When the first dish was served, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Long Yunting and Long Xingzhou arrived.
"You two are here!" Just as Hou Guifang was about to stand up, Sheng Qian took the wheelchair from Long Xingzhou and pushed Long Yunting over.
As soon as she pushed it to the table, Sheng Qian leaned in with a smile and whispered in Long Yunting's ear, "How effective is the medicine?"
Long Yunting froze, and when he glanced to the side, he caught sight of Sheng Qian smiling like a little fox. A sense of suspicion suddenly welled up in his heart.
Thinking that he had lied to Sheng Qian first, and considering the effects of the medicine, Long Yunting cleared his throat and said, "Not bad."
Sheng Qian patted his shoulder and smiled, "Then I'll make a few more bottles."
Long Yunting: "..."
Seeing this, everyone's eyes looked a little strange.
I couldn't quite hear what the two of them said.
However, they clearly captured the expressions on the two people's faces, which is why they looked at Long Yunting and Sheng Qian with such strange expressions.
The gaze that fell on Long Yunting was particularly shocking.
The Long Yunting I remember would never show such an uncomfortable expression.
Every time we met, he was as terrifying as a living Yama.
This caused them to avoid getting close to him, as if they were from a different generation.
"Seeing that you two have a good relationship, we elders are relieved," Deng Zhiying said with a smile, looking at Long Xingzhou. "Xingzhou, when will you let your sister-in-law hold her grandson?"
Long Xingzhou didn't say a word, but unexpectedly, he still mentioned him.
Long Xingzhou said calmly, "Shaotian is similar to Yunting. He's still enjoying himself abroad. Aren't you worried, Third Aunt?"
Deng Zhiying said with a smile, "When we talked on the phone last time, he mentioned that he's dating a blonde beauty. Our Long family doesn't care about such things, so we can accept whatever he likes!"
"You're really open-minded!" Upon hearing the word "golden hair," Long Xingzhou couldn't help but picture Long Shao's large chest and blue eyes!
"I believe my sister-in-law feels the same way as me, so you need to hurry up too, you're already twenty-four." Deng Zhiying was overjoyed to learn that Long Shaotian had found a girlfriend outside, and she urged him to bring her back to China.
“Mom, we’re here to eat, not to discuss marriage,” Long Bai’an quickly stopped Deng Zhiying.
"You silly child, you can eat anytime, but marriage is a big deal for the family, and we can't ignore it."
"If you say that again, we're leaving," Long Bai'an said, somewhat speechless.
"Okay, Mom won't say anymore," Deng Zhiying said, afraid of spoiling everyone's fun.
Hou Guifang asked Deng Zhiying, "When will Shao be back?"
“When something happened at home last time, his family didn’t tell him because he was busy with his research.”
“Studying the starry sky all day long, what’s so interesting about it?” Long Bai’an couldn’t think of anything about astronomy that his brother was so obsessed with.
"Astronomy is also closely related to the development of science and technology. If we can enter a certain field, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of the country," Sheng Qian suddenly said.
Long Bai'an raised an eyebrow: "Second sister-in-law also knows astronomy?"
“This is not my area of expertise,” Sheng Qian said, “I don’t have that kind of skill.”
"In my opinion, astronomy is just for fun! It's nothing more than some mysterious astrological 'prediction' techniques, which are far removed from science. Astronomy itself is a form of entertainment, not some kind of science." For some reason, Long Bai'an just wanted to refute this.
Sheng Qian smiled faintly: "Ancient astronomy was indeed unscientific, but it is undeniable that the calendars, routes, latitudes, and other things we use today are inseparable from astronomy. The mysteries of the starry sky are so vast that tens of thousands of generations of people have not been able to understand them. If one day we can sail into space on a spaceship, it will definitely be related to astronomy."
Not only was Long Bai'an stunned, but everyone else was also staring blankly at Sheng Qian.
Although these words don't seem to have any profound or philosophical implications, someone who could say such things could definitely not have come from a remote mountain village.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Long Yunting felt a sense of pride and honor!
