At the airport, Xu Mengyao waited at the exit.
She wore a mask, but still attracted a lot of attention.
"Beautiful woman, can I get to know you?"
A young, wealthy second-generation heir approached Xu Mengyao confidently.
"I'm married," Xu Mengyao said calmly.
She had been approached many times before and was used to it.
Liang Ye was nearby and quickly approached, "Boss, what do you need me to do?"
Her sharp gaze was fixed on the young rich man, ready to strike the moment he made a move.
"Sorry to bother you."
The young rich man quickly walked away.
Even though Liang Ye was a woman, she looked like someone not to be trifled with.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, over here."
Xu Mengyao suddenly waved her hand.
Lin Hai and Chen Mei turned to look at Xu Mengyao at the sound of her voice.
They walked over quickly, and Chen Mei said happily, "Mengyao, you're so busy, why did you come to pick us up?"
Xu Mengyao replied, "Xiqian is sick. Lin Chen knows Ancient Medical Skills, so he's staying at home. I'm not so busy right now."
Lin Hai asked anxiously, "Xiqian is sick? Is she alright?"
Xu Mengyao nodded.
"Lin Chen said it's probably a bacterial infection, but he said it's not a big deal. His Ancient Medical Skills are very strong; there shouldn't be a problem."
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, let's go."
Soon, Xu Mengyao and the others left.
In the parking lot, they all got into Xu Mengyao's car, while Liang Ye got into another car to follow behind them.
"Mengyao, has Lin Chen been bullying you lately? If he does, tell me, and I'll help you."
Chen Mei sat in the passenger seat and smiled, saying, "..."
Lin Hai sat alone in the back.
Xu Mengyao quickly said, "Lin Chen treats me very well. Uncle Lin, how is your hand recovering?"
"It's recovered a lot."
"It won't affect me as long as I don't carry heavy things."
Lin Hai said with a smile from the back.
Chatting casually along the way, Xu Mengyao brought Lin Hai and the others back.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Lin Xiqian saw Lin Hai and the others and called out happily.
"Xiqian, darling."
"Come, let Grandma give you a hug."
Chen Mei happily picked up Lin Xiqian.
"Dad, Mom."
Lin Chen called out, "Did you have a smooth journey here?"
Lin Hai nodded, "The journey was very smooth. Mengyao said Xiqian was sick. Is she alright now?"
Lin Chen smiled, "She's fine."
"Children don't have strong immune systems, so it's normal for them to catch colds, fevers, and bacterial infections."
"Dad, sit down, I'll take your pulse first."
Soon, Lin Chen took Lin Hai's pulse.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Dad, you're recovering well. But don't exert yourself before you've fully recovered. It'll take more than a month for you to make a complete recovery."
"Mom, let me take your pulse too."
His Ancient Medical Skills had already reached the Grandmaster level, and he was comprehensive in all aspects; his pulse-taking skills were also at the Grandmaster level.
"I just get a little pain in my legs sometimes, nothing else."
Chen Mei said, holding Lin Xiqian and sitting down beside her.
Lin Chen also took her pulse.
"Mom, you have some rheumatism. It's not too serious. I'll give you acupuncture with silver needles later, and then I'll make you some medicine. You should be better after taking it for a while."
Lin Chen smiled gently.
"Dad, me too."
Lin Xiqian held out her little hand to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Okay, Dad will take a look at you and Mom too."
He took Lin Xiqian's pulse. Lin Xiqian only had a minor problem, but she was likely to run a fever again.
"Xiqian, you should be fine tomorrow," Lin Chen smiled.
"Mom, it's your turn, hehe."
Lin Xiqian said in a milky voice.
Xu Mengyao cooperated and stretched out her hand.
Lin Chen once again felt her pulse, and he was astonished. His Ancient Medical Skills had reached the master level, yet he still couldn't determine what was going on with Xu Mengyao.
"Daddy, how is Mommy?"
Lin Xiqian asked with a smile.
Lin Chen laughed, "Mommy is, of course, very healthy."
He didn't say anything about Xu Mengyao's condition.
Telling Xu Mengyao and the others wouldn't be necessary and would only cause them worry.
Right now, his Ancient Medical Skills were only at the Grandmaster level. Above that were the Great Grandmaster level, the Legendary level, and the Mythic level!
Cancer, or even diseases more terrifying than cancer, might not be a big problem in his eyes by then.
"Xiqian, don't you have doctor toys? Check Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom, okay? Dad will make dinner."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Lin Xiqian was in good spirits. She quickly took out her doctor toys, "I'm a doctor now, hehe."
About an hour later, Lin Chen finished making the meal.
"Dad, your hand hasn't recovered yet, so you shouldn't drink any alcohol."
Lin Chen said.
"Okay."
Lin Hai nodded, and they soon sat down to taste the dishes.
"Hmm?"
Lin Hai and Chen Mei were stunned when they tasted the food. The dishes Lin Chen made tasted even better than before.
Just when they thought Lin Chen's cooking skills had reached their limit, he could still surprise them after a while.
There's a higher peak behind every mountain!
"Grandpa, Grandma, eat more. Daddy's cooking is delicious, I love it the most," Lin Xiqian said sweetly.
Chen Mei smiled, "Xiqian, we will eat more. Mengyao, you and Lin Chen are engaged, do you and your family have any requests? We will do our best to meet them."
Xu Mengyao's pretty face turned slightly red.
"Aunt Chen, I don't have any requests."
"My parents are also quite easygoing, they don't have any requests either," Xu Mengyao said.
Chen Mei said, "Then, shall we follow the usual procedure? We'll bring gifts to your house to propose, and we'll prepare the Betrothal Gifts/Bride Price, Five Golds (jewelry), and Engagement Ring."
"Do you have any requests for the car?"
Xu Mengyao said, "Aunt Chen, no requests. My parents want to keep it simple. Mom just got back, and so many people came to our house. It wouldn't be good to make a big fuss."
"I don't want to make things too complicated either."
Chen Mei nodded.
After dinner, Lin Chen took his parents upstairs. Lin Hai said, "Son, we've prepared the Five Golds. What about the Betrothal Gifts/Bride Price, gifts, and the Engagement Ring?"
Lin Chen said, "The gifts are simple. I'll paint a painting and write a calligraphy piece later. I ordered an Engagement Ring from a jewelry company."
"I'm a little stumped about the Betrothal Gifts/Bride Price."
"We already have a house. There's no need to use the house as the Betrothal Gifts/Bride Price. Should we just give money?"
Lin Hai: "It's not impossible to give money directly. Most Betrothal Gifts/Bride Price are just money these days."
Lin Chen nodded.
"Money it is, then."
"Then I'll make an appointment with the bank to withdraw ten million cash as the Betrothal Gifts/Bride Price."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei stared at Lin Chen in surprise.
"Son, do you have so much in savings?"
Lin Chen smiled, "The overseas rights to those three books sold for thirty million US dollars, which is over two hundred million RMB."
Lin Hai and the others were utterly shocked.
Lin Chen said, "Dad, Mom, I'll transfer ten million to you. You can buy whatever you like in the future."
"No need."
Lin Hai quickly said, "The house is built, and we won't spend much money in the countryside. You and Mengyao are already married. Don't give us so much money."
Chen Mei also said, "We still have a lot of money left after the house is built, enough for us to use."
"Even if Mengyao's family has money, you and your wife should discuss it with Mengyao if you want to use the money."
Lin Chen: "I'll discuss it with her later. Dad, Mom, it's only right for me to give you money to show filial piety."
"Don't worry about Mengyao and me having conflicts because of money; she's much richer than I am."
