CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 587: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE WEALTHY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingshen sighed with some deflation. Since last time, he realized there was a vast difference in perspectives between him and Li Xinyi, so he had been deliberately ignoring her. However, sometimes during the quiet nights, he would still think of her innocent smile and genuine love.

Thus, when she called him just now, his heart softened, thinking to give each other one more chance.

On the other side, Li Xinyi happily hung up the phone and then joyfully started choosing her clothes. It had been several days since they met, and she definitely wanted to dazzle Brother Ming Shen.

It turns out she was overthinking before, Brother Ming Shen still likes her after all. Otherwise, why would he agree to dine with her just after she called?

Mom was right, Brother Ming Shen’s family has been busy with splitting the household recently, and must be very busy. The fact that he still finds time to dine with her signifies that he indeed values her deeply.

"What, your Brother Ming Shen finally noticed you?" Gao Juan smiled as she looked at her daughter.

"Mom, when has Brother Ming Shen ever ignored me? He has just been too busy these past few days." Li Xinyi said with her cheeks flushing red.

"Mmm, Mom knows Brother Ming Shen cares about you, but the Gu family has had many affairs recently, you need to be more understanding of your Brother Ming Shen, you know? But if he doesn’t have time to see you, you can still send him messages now and then, you must not become estranged," Gao Juan said attentively because she feared her daughter was too naïve. However, knowing her daughter was simple-hearted, which indeed makes her more likable to men, she didn’t teach her too much.

"Oh mom, I know." Li Xinyi pushed her mom out and started trying on some new clothes she had bought, soon filling up the bed again.

Finally, unable to decide, she chose a bright yellow dress that made her skin look even more fair.

The moment she walked out Gao Juan nodded with satisfaction: "Good, my daughter is becoming more and more beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mom." Li Xinyi twirled sweetly in a circle.

At this moment, Li Chengyu came down from upstairs, hurriedly preparing to go out.

Gao Juan quickly asked him, "It’s almost time for dinner, where are you going at this hour?"

"It’s Su Qin, she said her stomach hurts a bit, I’m going to check on her," Li Chengyu said without a trace of affection in his expression.

Seeing this, Gao Juan frowned and said, "Chengyu, Su Qin is carrying a child from the Li family now, you should treat her a bit better."

"I know," Li Chengyu answered impatiently.

Hearing this, Gao Juan sighed worriedly, uncertain of the misfortune they amassed; ever since the divorce, her son had not had a happy day. Was Ye Chan really that remarkable?

"Mom, don’t be sad, he will come to understand," Li Xinyi soothed.

Taking the opportunity, Gao Juan complained, "I also want to be happy, but how can I not worry if your brother keeps acting like this? He even made mistakes at work recently, I really don’t understand what’s so great about Ye Chan? She has long forgotten about him, yet he is still so affectionate towards her."

The more Gao Juan spoke, the angrier she became: "It’s not like we wanted them to divorce. It was Ye Chan who couldn’t have children, how is that our fault? Only your brother is foolish, still thinking about her, not knowing she has happily moved on and might even have another man now."

"Mom, don’t think about it anymore, it just upsets you and Dad finds it annoying too. Didn’t that woman called Su Qin get pregnant with brother’s child? Once the baby is born, he won’t think about Ye Chan anymore," Li Xinyi advised.

At the mention of the baby, Gao Juan’s expression indeed brightened a bit: "We’ve had it checked, it’s a boy, Xinyi, in a few more months you’ll be an aunt."

"Yeah, when the baby comes, Mom, you’ll have something to do, and by the way, find me a beautiful and filial sister-in-law, then our family will be perfect," Li Xinyi said.

"You are right, these matters need to be arranged earlier. If your brother doesn’t find someone himself, I will find someone for him. By meeting new people, he can better forget Ye Chan."

"Lady, Miss, Young Master Gu has arrived." While Gao Juan and Li Xinyi were happily talking, the nanny came in to report.

"Brother Ming Shen." Li Xinyi quickly stood up from the sofa, and just as she was about to run out, she nervously adjusted her clothes and hair, then walked out like a lady.

Gao Juan sent her to the doorway, looking at the attractive pair of young man and young lady with a gentle smile: "Ming Shen, today Auntie entrusts Xinyi to you."

"Auntie, don’t worry, I will take good care of Xinyi." Gu Mingshen said elegantly.

Gao Juan felt even more pleased at heart; such an outstanding young man must not be snatched away by others.

Li Xinyi, standing shyly by the car, awkwardly said, "Mom, you should go inside. I’m an adult now, I can take care of myself."

"Alright, alright, Mom won’t disturb you two."

The strong desire in Gao Juan’s eyes made Gu Mingshen slightly uncomfortable, but this feeling disappeared after seeing Li Xinyi’s charm and sincerity.

"Get in." Gu Mingshen considerately opened the car door for Li Xinyi and buckled her seatbelt, observing her blushing cheeks with a touch of warmth in his heart.

"What would you like to eat?" He asked while driving.

"Brother Ming Shen, didn’t you make a reservation?"

"I made a reservation at a Western restaurant, but wanted to ask if there’s anything you particularly like."

"As long as I’m with Brother Ming Shen, anywhere is fine." Li Xinyi boldly said these words, then shyly dared not lift her head afterward.

Gu Mingshen chuckled softly, feeling that if she could always be this adorable and not obsess over issues, then their future time together would surely be relaxing.

"What made you think of asking me out for Western cuisine today?" Ye Chan asked curiously.

"It’s owned by a friend of my cousin, who gave me a membership card. I heard the ingredients are all flown in from overseas, and they are quite fresh, so I wanted to try them out," Gu Mingmei said, bored while looking at the night view outside the window.

"Then I’m in for a treat today, but do they have food suitable for children?" Ye Chan asked while setting up a napkin for Xiao Hao.

"No problem, I asked my cousin’s friend before coming, and he said the chef could make some additional dishes, especially for kids. It’s their trial operation period, so there won’t be many guests and it won’t trouble the chef much," Gu Mingmei replied.

"That’s good."

"Why are you so caring for Xiao Hao, even more attentive than me, his aunt?" Gu Mingmei watched Ye Chan taking thorough care of Xiao Hao, finding no need to intervene, and casually poured him a glass of milk.

"It’s not that I’m meticulous; it’s that you, as his aunt, are too careless, and Xiao Hao is so well-behaved, of course I love taking care of him."

Hearing that the person he liked liked him back, Xiao Hao showed Ye Chan a sweet, obedient little face.

Inwardly, Ye Chan felt an urge to hug the little guy tightly and give him a squeeze.
