Chapter 1682: Outstanding Qualities
His gaze fell to the gifts that Shen Zhilie was carrying with both hands. With a click of his tongue, he said, “It’s enough that you ca. Why did you bring so many gifts? Hurry and put them down. They must be heavy!”
“I heard that Qianqian’s grandfather was here, so I brought so supplents. She also told that you are very skilled in the kitchen. Whenever you’re free, you may prepare them for Grandfather.”
Shen Zhilie placed the objects down and said, “I didn’t know what you liked, so I just brought so cigarettes and alcohol.”
“Did you tell Qianqian about it?” Ye Zhenhua asked with a lowered voice. “That lass looked unhappy. You must have ruffled her feathers.”
Shen Zhilie felt a little embarrassed upon hearing that.
After a mont’s thought, he replied, “Indeed, I didn’t tell her. Mainly, I was worried that she wouldn’t let co. I’ve wanted to visit for a long ti but could never find the opportunity to.”
Ye Zhenhua’s assumptions were confird when he heard Shen Zhilie’s reply.
“She has never once ntioned you to . If not for your visit, I wouldn’t even have known that my daughter had a boyfriend.” Ye Zhenhua helped him put the things down and asked, “What’s your na? Judging from your accent, I’m guessing that you’re from the North?”
“My na is Shen Zhilie, Uncle, It’s spelled z-h-i-l-i-e. I’m from the Capital, but I am currently based in Kingstown for work.”
Ye Zhenhua’s face was visibly surprised when he heard where Shen Zhilie was from. “You’re from the Capital?”
“Yes, Uncle.”
“What do you do for work?”
“I’m a doctor. I’m currently the Deputy Director of the Psychiatric Departnt.”
Ye Zhenhua nodded his head when he heard the answer. He gave Shen Zhilie’s tall physique a once-over. The creases on his forehead deepened.
When Shen Zhilie noticed Ye Zhenhua’s expression, he ventured, “Uncle, if you have any questions for , please feel free to ask them.”
Ye Zhenhua struggled internally for a mont before finally opening his mouth. “Dear boy, your qualifications are so good. Just how old are you?”
“I’m 27.”
“Twenty-seven? You’re young and promising indeed! You’re tall and handso, and with such good qualities to boot. There aren’t many people like you nowadays!”
Shen Zhilie was used to receiving complints from a young age. When he heard Ye Zhenhua’s words, he smiled and replied, “I’m flattered.”
“With qualities as good as yours, how did you end up with Qianqian?” Ye Zhenhua looked at Shen Zhilie. Suspicion was obvious on his face.
The instant Ye Zhenhua asked the question, Ye Qianqian’s voice suddenly piped up from the back. She irately exclaid, “Dad! What is that supposed to an?”
He turned his head and saw Ye Qianqian carrying the freshly sanitized tea set out.
Ye Qianqian placed the tea set down on the round wooden table in the yard and turned to look at Ye Zhenhua with dissatisfaction written on her face.
Ye Zhenhua cleared his throat and said, “Qianqian, I wasn’t saying that you aren’t good enough.”
The qualities that Dr. Shen possessed were just too outstanding. Such a contrast made Qianqian seem a little average.
Ignoring everything else, just the fact that he was from the Capital made him an enviable catch for won all over.
Furthermore, this guy was extrely good looking. Considering the fact that he was a deputy director of a departnt at such a young age, his potential, given a few more years, was going to be limitless.
However, Ye Zhenhua did not verbalize any of these thoughts. Instead, he looked at Ye Qianqian and asked, “How could you not tell that you had a boyfriend? If not for the fact that your boyfriend showed up here, how much longer were you intending to keep in the dark?”
“I just felt that the ti wasn’t right. I would have told you the mont I felt the ti was right.” Ye Qianqian started to prepare the tea. She had studied the art of tea-making before, so her hands were dexterous when it ca to this task.
