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 . We exchanged blood samples because we wanted to understand why they only needed to drink waterlon 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 , how can Dad support you?"
Ye Junqing knew his daughter-in-law was skilled in dicine. If she could indeed research and solve this problem, then he wouldn’t have to take dicine anymore.
He would rather drink waterlon juice all day than take dicine.
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 mont, 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 sothing 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 so dicine for you?"
Get lost! Ye Junqing fud 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 treatnt, 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 imdiately stood up. "Well, Mingjing, prescribe so dicine 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 sa 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 mont’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 so 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 imdiately 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 ddle 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 won 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 regins.
She was still preoccupied with the issue of Yaya not being able to tolerate sunlight. After finishing the regins, she returned to the living room, trying to steer the conversation back to vampires.
"Dad, could you get two vials of blood? Although Traditional Chinese dicine pulse diagnosis can’t reveal the issue, my master, Ban Chugang, also has so knowledge of Western dicine. He and Academician Zhou from the Ministry of Health have recently established a Traditional dicine 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 mber 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 dical 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 al, Ye Junqing ntioned 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."
Imdiately, Ye Shen started flipping through his phone contacts. "I’ll call Yan Mu and ask if he’s coming to Yecheng! He was asking 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 so information. He keeps pestering about it. If he cos, 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 mbers 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 rmaid."
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 ca, 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 gas.
His teammate, Yan Mu, sent him an in-ga ssage: "Prepare to receive ! I’m accompanying my parents to Yecheng tomorrow."
Ye Shen imdiately logged off and played dead.
Yan Mu sent him a WeChat ssage: "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 seed to have guessed sothing and replied, "HAHAHAHAHA! Relax, I promise I won’t make things difficult for you. I’m just accompanying my parents for a dical visit. You just need to be in charge of showing a good ti—food, drinks, entertainnt. 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 docunt on his computer, which he was reluctant to even open, and replied, "Not yet. Hey, why don’t you co over and write my thesis for ? I’m swamped every day. Besides classes, I have to complete tasks my brother assigns . Where would I find the ti to entertain you?"
