“Did my parents go looking for you?”
“Today when I was seeing patients, they suddenly came in around nine in the morning, holding my number. I… I was completely unprepared.”
Through the phone screen, Lin Yi could feel Li Chuhan’s nervousness, her hand continuously at her chest.
“Then what did they say?”
“They didn’t say much, just that they came to see me and wanted to arrange a full body check-up for me.”
Lin Yi laughed, “Go on.”
“I was in the middle of seeing patients, and after arranging everything, I wanted to take a leave to go find them, but aunty didn’t allow it, she just kept waiting outside. After I got off work at noon, they took me out to eat.”
Seeing Li Chuhan’s helpless expression, Lin Yi barely held back a laugh.
“That’s not bad, you even saved some money on lunch.”
“It’s not about saving money, you weren’t there, meeting them alone almost scared me to death.”
“What’s there to be afraid of, they can’t eat you,” Lin Yi said with a laugh:
“What else did they say?”
“They actually didn’t say much, just asked how my work was going and if I had any aspirations to climb higher.”
“So, they were just making casual conversation.”
“Um…” Li Chuhan nodded weakly, “They also mentioned another thing.”
“What did they say?”
“They asked, asked if I want to have a child with you.”
“Ah?”
This surprised Lin Yi considerably, “They even talked about that?”
“I didn’t expect it either, that aunty would ask such a question.”
Li Chuhan is a person with very simple desires in life, and she has always been well aware of her own status.
As for the topic of children, she had talked about it with Lin Yi before.
If Lin Yi wants, she would have one; if not, then they won’t.
Lin Yi is her whole world.
“Then what did you say?”
“I said I would listen to you.”
“I see.”
This response was within Lin Yi’s expectations because that’s just the kind of person Li Chuhan is.
It would have been really surprising if she had come up with a different answer.
“What did my mom say?”
Li Chuhan suddenly laughed.
“She scolded you.”
“Scolded me?”
“She said not to just listen to you, to follow my own thoughts instead, and if I wanted to have kids, she would come and take care of me.”
Lin Yi felt a warm surge in his heart.
Because they had previously talked about Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu’s situation.
She hadn’t expressed a strong desire to come and take care of them.
But with Li Chuhan, she made such a statement.
This gave Lin Yi an indescribable feeling in his heart.
“My mom is right, you don’t have to consult me for this matter, just tell me if you feel like it.”
“It’s a bit too sudden, I really don’t know what to do.”
“Then there’s no rush, take your time to think about it,” Lin Yi said with a smile: “Anything else?”
“The rest was just casual talk, and uncle and aunty also bought me quite a few things, they forcefully gave them to me, I couldn’t refuse.”
“Are you silly, you are their daughter-in-law after all, it’s only right for them to buy you things, just accept them gracefully.”
Hearing the words ‘daughter-in-law’, Li Chuhan’s eyes suddenly teared up.
“But I don’t deserve it.”
“What do you mean you don’t deserve it.” Lin Yi got heated up, “You deserve it more than anyone, if you say that again, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
“I understand,” said Li Chuhan:
“Aunty also gave me her phone number, we added each other on WeChat, she said that in the future if I encounter any problems or am unhappy, I can message her.”
“Then just do as she said, don’t have so many worries,” Lin Yi said:
