My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 589 Ye Shen: Being Called a Pig Brain by Older Brother Again! 1
Even Ye Junqing received calls from a few old friends in A Country, asking if there were any better villas available in Yecheng. They were considering buying several to move to Yecheng for retirement in the future. Not only does Yecheng enjoy spring-like weather year-round, but its safety is also top-notch, which had piqued the interest of many wealthy people.
Ye Junqing laughed heartily over the phone and even sent a picture of a villa that was for sale to a few friends who had asked him to buy properties, inviting them to come live in Yecheng.
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Junqing said to an old friend, "Come on over. I have a villa right next to the palace that has never been sold. You can move in and retire here. I’ll let you live there for free, no rent required."
The man on the phone snorted coldly. "I’m not old yet! And I’m certainly not so desperate as to be unable to afford a villa myself. Keep that villa for me."
The man on the phone was Yan Bei, who had once served as the president of A Country. He was a man of esteemed status whose retirement would be covered by the A Country government.
Yan Bei was Ye Qinghan’s father-in-law, Yan Zhenxi’s father, and also Ye Xinguang’s sworn brother.
Ye Junqing spared no mercy when teasing, "Isn’t your grandson almost one year old? You still won’t admit you’re getting old? Men over fifty aren’t considered desirable anymore. If you don’t believe me, ask Se Tingnan, your wife. Can you still charm her?"
With a SNAP! Yan Bei hung up the phone right then and there.
Not five minutes later, Se Tingnan’s call came through to Ye Xinguang. "What did your husband say to mine?" she inquired. "He’s been asking me if he’s still as handsome as he was twenty years ago. A man over fifty asking me such childish questions! Tell me, aren’t men childish?"
While Ye Junqing was on the phone with Yan Bei, Ye Xinguang was sitting beside him eating fruit. Now, having received Se Tingnan’s call, she burst into laughter.
Ye Xinguang also invited Se Tingnan to come and stay in Yecheng for a while.
Over the phone, Se Tingnan said, "I do want to. I’ve heard your daughter-in-law is skilled in medicine? Yan Bei has been having some minor health issues lately. After consulting with Western doctors, they advised us to find a good Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to help manage his health." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Ye Xinguang’s breath caught. "What’s wrong with Brother Yan Bei?"
"It’s not something to discuss over the phone."
Ye Xinguang said, "Come on over while my daughter-in-law is home. I can guarantee her medical skills are top-notch. She even has two masters who are also very good; they’re currently teaching at Yecheng University. Come over, and let them take a look at Brother Yan Bei."
Hearing Ye Xinguang’s assurance, Se Tingnan felt relieved. "Then we’ll come over tomorrow."
"Great, I’ll arrange a welcome for you then."
After hanging up, Ye Xinguang was excited and told Ye Junqing, "Brother Yan Bei and Se Tingnan are coming over tomorrow."
Ye Junqing then called the butler, instructing him to get some people to clean the villa near the palace thoroughly, inside and out, to make it ready for Yan Bei and Se Tingnan to move in upon their arrival tomorrow.
After giving the instructions, Ye Junqing asked, "Is Yan Bei sick?"
"His wife said it’s just a minor problem."
Ye Junqing pondered for a moment, then said, "Men tend to have some health issues as they get older. Fortunately, I’ve still got it."
Ye Xinguang threw an orange from the fruit plate at him. "Brother Yan Bei is not old at all! I saw him at New Year’s; he’s even more mature and charismatic. Men in their fifties aren’t old. It’s not like they’re in their seventies or eighties!"
In modern society, with improving living conditions, people’s lifespans are getting longer. How could men in their fifties be considered old? Last year’s global survey even stated that the average worldwide lifespan had reached 98 years! Moreover, the retirement age has been postponed: in 2051, it will be 70 for men and 65 for women! By that standard, men in their fifties are in the prime of their lives!
Her husband was a different story, though. At forty-nine, he still looked like a pretty boy. Standing with his sons, he didn’t look like their father—more like an older brother!
Ye Junqing could tell his wife was glaring at him and knew she was cursing him in her mind. With a long arm, he pulled Ye Xinguang into his embrace, locking her in. "What are you muttering about now?" he asked.
"Nothing," Ye Xinguang feigned ignorance.
"Won’t tell?" Ye Junqing pinched his wife’s chin. "If you don’t tell, it’s domestic violence time!"
Ye Junqing’s so-called "domestic violence" meant kissing her lips until they were swollen, leaving her breathless and begging for mercy.
But just as Ye Junqing leaned in, footsteps were heard from outside the door; Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing walked in. Seeing the scene, Si Mingjing immediately backed away, turned, and tried to leave quietly. However, Mo Yinhe coughed loudly, deliberately ensuring his father would notice someone had entered. Sure enough, after Mo Yinhe’s cough, Ye Xinguang, realizing her son and daughter-in-law had come in, immediately pushed Ye Junqing away.
Ye Junqing glared at his son, his tone terrifying. "Is there something you need?"
If it wasn’t important, he’d definitely grab a whip and thrash his son! The unobservant brat, not knowing to make himself scarce in such a situation!
Mo Yinhe’s mouth curled up, showing not a shred of guilt for interrupting his parents, but rather a hint of gleeful pleasure as he led Si Mingjing into the room.
"Nothing, just came to freeload a meal."
After speaking, he sat down on the armchair and casually pulled Si Mingjing onto his lap.
Si Mingjing pushed Mo Yinhe away and sat next to him. "Dad, there’s something," she said.
Facing his daughter-in-law, Ye Junqing’s expression finally softened into an amiable smile. "Yes, Mingjing, go ahead."
"I heard that there is another branch of vampires in W Country. They are averse to light, and if they are exposed to direct sunlight, their skin gets injured?"
Ever since Mo Yinhe had shared Bo Leng’s story with her, Si Mingjing had been worried about her little niece, Yaya.
Yaya couldn’t live Undersea and was also afraid of the sun; how was she managing to live in W Country? Avoiding direct sunlight on land was incredibly difficult! Bo Leng and Lou Manman had taken such good care of Fengyin for her, yet she’d never repaid them. She wanted to do something for Yaya, but she knew nothing about the vampires of W Country.
Ye Junqing was surprised she brought this up. "What about it?"
"I was just wondering if there’s any way to let them live freely under the sun. There should be a way, right?"
Ye Junqing said, "Well, I’m not very sure. There are indeed other vampires in W Country. They don’t need to restrain their thirst for blood because they have no such desire. They can satisfy themselves with red drinks, such as watermelon juice, strawberry juice, or dragon fruit juice. To be honest, I was quite envious of them for a while. However, they do indeed fear the light. If exposed to direct sunlight, their skin will be scorched. From this perspective, our branch of vampires is better suited for survival."
They had already produced a drug that could suppress the desire for blood. If the craving came, taking two pills could control it.
Si Mingjing was considering this very issue. "Dad, do you think there’s any medication that could prevent them from fearing the light? Medically, there’s a condition called porphyria that causes fear of sunlight. Could the other vampires’ fear of sunlight be related to this disease?"
