My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 590 Ye Shen: Being Called a Pig Brain by Older Brother Again! 2
Ye Junqing picked up the teacup from the coffee table, took a sip, and said, "Regarding this matter, the Vampire King of another clan once discussed this issue with me. We exchanged blood samples because we wanted to understand why they only needed to drink watermelon juice, and they wanted to know why we weren’t afraid of sunlight. Ultimately, however, the research yielded no conclusive results."
Si Mingjing said, "Dad, I want to research it."
"Tell me, how can Dad support you?"
Ye Junqing knew his daughter-in-law was skilled in medicine. If she could indeed research and solve this problem, then he wouldn’t have to take medicine anymore.
He would rather drink watermelon juice all day than take medicine.
Si Mingjing stood up and sat next to Ye Junqing, saying, "Dad, may I take your pulse?"
Ye Junqing extended his hand.
Si Mingjing took his pulse.
After a moment, she shook her head. "I can’t detect anything definitive from your pulse, Dad. Your body is very healthy, it’s just..."
"Just what?" Ye Xinguang, who was sitting beside them, asked.
"It’s nothing," Si Mingjing said, too embarrassed to continue.
Her hesitant expression made the three people present grow cautious. Mo Yinhe said, "Speak frankly; it’s alright."
Ye Junqing, also fearing something was wrong with his body, said seriously, "Go on."
"AHEM." Si Mingjing held her fist to her lips and said in the tone of a physician, "Dad, you should exercise more restraint in your intimate life. You’re a little yang-deficient."
PFFT! Mo Yinhe, who was drinking tea, almost sprayed it everywhere.
Ye Junqing was rendered speechless.
Ye Xinguang was equally lost for words.
Si Mingjing desperately wanted to cover her face, but as a physician, she forced herself to maintain a serious expression. "Dad, shall I prescribe some medicine for you?"
Get lost! Ye Junqing fumed internally. But Si Mingjing was his cherished daughter-in-law, so he swallowed the words.
"No need!" Ye Junqing uttered the two words curtly.
Ye Xinguang was also mortified. Having her daughter-in-law point out such a matter left her unsure where to look. However, when her husband declined treatment, she grew concerned for his health and bravely interjected, "How can you not need it? Mingjing said you’re a bit weak."
After speaking, Ye Xinguang immediately stood up. "Well, Mingjing, prescribe some medicine for your father. I’ll go check if dinner is ready in the kitchen."
Ye Xinguang fled, leaving Ye Junqing to face the awkwardness, perfectly exemplifying the saying: "Spouses are like birds of the same forest, but they fly their separate ways when disaster strikes."
In fact, Si Mingjing didn’t want to stay either. Ye Junqing’s expression was too grim, and she feared that even Mo Yinhe’s presence wouldn’t be enough to protect her if her father-in-law lost his temper.
After a moment’s thought, Si Mingjing followed her. "Mom, I have a few dietary therapy suggestions. I’ll write them down for the kitchen staff."
"Oh, that works too."
In the kitchen, Ye Xinguang said to her daughter-in-law, "Mingjing, my older brother—Yan Zhenxi’s father—has some minor health issues. He’s looking for a TCM practitioner to help him recuperate, and he’ll be coming to Yecheng tomorrow. Could you take a look at him then?"
"Okay."
After speaking, Ye Xinguang peeked outside. Making sure no one was there, she immediately extended her hand. "You take my pulse too. See if I’m weak."
Si Mingjing nodded, took Ye Xinguang’s pulse, and said, "Mom, your body is very healthy. You’re not weak."
Ye Xinguang let out a sigh of relief. "Your dad just doesn’t listen to reason! I keep telling him to exercise restraint, but he always turns a deaf ear. You should take this chance to have a serious talk with him!"
How could Si Mingjing dare say such a thing?
With other patients, she could be frank, but this was her father-in-law. A daughter-in-law shouldn’t meddle in her in-laws’ private affairs.
Moreover, in this aspect, Mo Yinhe—perhaps taking after his father—was impossible to dissuade once his desires were aroused. She even felt like asking her mother-in-law to rein in her own son, but that was even more difficult to bring up. Both women were suffering in silence, unable to voice their concerns.
She could only pick up a pen and paper and focus on writing out the dietary therapy regimens.
She was still preoccupied with the issue of Yaya not being able to tolerate sunlight. After finishing the regimens, she returned to the living room, trying to steer the conversation back to vampires.
"Dad, could you get me two vials of blood? Although Traditional Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis can’t reveal the issue, my master, Ban Chugang, also has some knowledge of Western medicine. He and Academician Zhou from the Ministry of Health have recently established a Traditional Medicine Research Institute. I’d like them to examine it to see if there’s any potential for a breakthrough."
Returning to a serious topic, Ye Junqing’s expression softened considerably. He said, "I’ll give you the blood samples in a couple of days."
"Thank you, Dad."
Ye Junqing asked curiously, "Mingjing, why have you suddenly taken an interest in the Vampire Clan?"
"I have a niece who is now a member of another vampire branch; she’s photosensitive. I want to see if there’s a way for her to live normally in sunlight."
Ye Junqing nodded in understanding. He made a few calls to arrange for the collection of blood samples and various medical reports for Si Mingjing to study.
If the research proved successful, it would be a great boon to both vampire branches.
After the children returned from kindergarten, they all went to South Garden for dinner.
During the meal, Ye Junqing mentioned that Yan Bei and Se Tingnan would be coming to Yecheng the next day. Ye Shen was the most excited by this news.
Besides their daughter, Yan Zhenxi, Yan Bei and Se Tingnan also had a son, who was Ye Shen’s childhood best friend.
Ye Shen excitedly asked, "Is Yan Mu coming?"
Ye Xinguang said, "I don’t know."
Immediately, Ye Shen started flipping through his phone contacts. "I’ll call Yan Mu and ask if he’s coming to Yecheng! He was asking me about the protective shield just a few days ago; he’s really eager to see it. I didn’t tell him anything, afraid I might accidentally leak some information. He keeps pestering me about it. If he comes, I’ll give him a tour!"
Mo Yinhe glanced at Ye Shen. "Idiot."
Ye Shen was left speechless.
Ye Siyuan, sitting beside him and stifling her laughter, said, "Be careful, Yan Mu might be a spy from A Country! The Yan Family is a long-established military family there; think how many of their members hold important positions in the military. If Yan Mu investigates this, the technology could be leaked. No wonder Big Brother called you an idiot; you were practically asking for it."
Ye Shen rubbed his head, his voice lacking confidence. "But I’m originally from A Country. I’m A Country’s national treasure, the male Mermaid."
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and focused on eating, abandoning the idea of calling Yan Mu. He worried that if Yan Mu came, he’d insist on seeing the shield, and as his best friend, Ye Shen would find it hard to refuse.
But after dinner, Ye Shen sat at the computer, playing games.
His teammate, Yan Mu, sent him an in-game message: "Prepare to receive me! I’m accompanying my parents to Yecheng tomorrow."
Ye Shen immediately logged off and played dead.
Yan Mu sent him a WeChat message: "Why are you playing dead?"
Ye Shen replied to his best friend, "If I don’t play dead, I’m actually going to die!"
Yan Mu seemed to have guessed something and replied, "HAHAHAHAHA! Relax, I promise I won’t make things difficult for you. I’m just accompanying my parents for a medical visit. You just need to be in charge of showing me a good time—food, drinks, entertainment. My parents might stay there for a while, and so will I."
Ye Shen asked, "Don’t you have to work on your graduation thesis?"
Yan Mu replied, "Finished it. Just had my defense yesterday. I’m completely free. How about you, buddy?"
Ye Shen glanced at the thesis defense document on his computer, which he was reluctant to even open, and replied, "Not yet. Hey, why don’t you come over and write my thesis for me? I’m swamped every day. Besides classes, I have to complete tasks my brother assigns me. Where would I find the time to entertain you?"
