Chapter 123 Men Also Need Tonic Soup

Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the villa. It was almost 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law come home hand in hand, He Meishu felt very happy.

“Mother, where’s father?” Ling Tianyi asked. He worried that Ling Desheng would trouble him during the festival. After all, Xia Xiaoluo was not pregnant, and he had no capital to bargain with his father.

“Your father was watering his flowers here just now, but now he seems to go back to his study. Don’t worry about him. He is a stubborn old man. Let’s leave him alone.” He Meishu said, with Ling Tianyi’s arms in her hand, “Son, you and Xiaoluo rarely come back and today is the reunion festival. Even if your father says something that you don’t like, don’t quarrel with him. He is suffering from menopausal syndrome, so he is hot-tempered. Let’s ignore him.”

Xia Xiaoluo heard her mother-in-law said that her father-in-law was suffering from menopausal syndrome. She wanted to laugh but she did not dare to.

Ling Tianyi felt the abnormality of Xia Xiaoluo, so he pinched her hands softly, warning her not to be too exaggerated. Xia Xiaoluo certainly understood his meaning, so she tried her best not to laugh.

“Will you stay here or return to your apartment tonight?” He Meishu asked. She hoped that her son and daughter-in-law could stay here. After all, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival when the family should gather together. She did not want that her son and daughter-in-law who rarely came back left after dinner.

“We’ll go back to our apartment. Tomorrow I’m going to work and Xiaoluo is going to school. Our apartment is in the center of the city and it is close to the company and school, which are relatively far from here.” Ling Tianyi would never stay at home. If he only had dinner at home, the possibility of Ling Desheng being angry with him was fifty percent. But if he stayed here, the possibility of Ling Desheng talking to him was one hundred percent. Therefore, he must take Xia Xiaoluo away after dinner as soon as possible, not letting Ling Desheng find some excuse.

“Oh, that’s all right!” He Meishu looked a little disappointed, but she immediately asked: “National Day is coming. Will you all have a holiday? Will you come back and stay for a few days then?”

“No, mum. I’ve booked the air tickets. I’ll take Xiaoluo out for the National Day holiday so we will not come back. Call me if whenever you want!” Ling Tianyi said. He was sad when he saw his mother’s disappointed face, and he also felt that he was very unfilial. But having a father who always disagreed and quarreled with him, he really did not want to stay at home.

Ling Tianyi thought that he must find an opportunity to take Ling Tianxue back from abroad. If his parents could be accompanied by their daughter, it would be OK that he rarely came back home.

Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to sit on the sofa in the living room. He Meishu also sat beside them and continued to greet warmly. Ling Tianyi would not talk to his father first, because the last conversation between them was very unpleasant. So as long as Ling Desheng did not call him, he would never talk to him alone.

He Meishu asked the cook to prepare many dishes that Ling Tianyi liked and all kinds of tonic soup for Xia Xiaoluo. Xia Xiaoluo liked to drink soup at first, but when He Meishu told her the benefits of the soup and asked her to drink more, she felt full and couldn’t drink anymore.

Ling Tianyi didn’t mind that He Meishu gave Xia Xiaoluo tonic soup. He thought that Xia Xiaoluo was weak and it was good to drink more. When chatting with He Meishu, he accidentally said that he bought folic acid and various tonic pills for Xia Xiaoluo. He Meishu was very delighted immediately, because it meant that his son and daughter-in-law were planning to have a baby!

He Meishu quickly introduced what a pregnant women or quasi-pregnant woman should do to Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo. Xia Xiaoluo didn’t care, but Ling Tianyi listened carefully, which was rare.

“Mother, what else shall we pay attention to besides the diet?” Ling Tianyi asked continuously. He Meishu said everything she knew.

“It’s still cold. Be careful not to catch a cold. If a pregnant woman has a cold and fever, she can’t take medicine. Taking medicine will affect the baby so you should be careful.”

“And you, don’t smoke or drink outside. It’s not good for the baby!”

“Anyway, if Xiaoluo is pregnant, I will pick her up and don’t let her go to school. I will look after her at home, and I’m sure I won’t make a mistake.”

He Meishu looked forward to having a grandson for a long time. Now her son finally got married and planned to have a baby seriously. He Meishu felt that she would realize her dream, so she couldn’t hide her happiness when she spoke.

Ling Desheng stood on the second floor. When he heard the conversation in the living room on the first floor, he frowned.

Ling Desheng was a businessman. Although he was old, he was not confused. He immediately knew the reason why his son wanted to have a baby now. Ling Tianyi only hoped that he would not oppose his marriage or force him to divorce.

“You come back! What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?” Ling Desheng pretended not to hear what they talked about, then he sat on the sofa happily.

“Oh, dad, nothing! I just made some small talks with mum.” Ling Tianyi said. He was afraid that He Meishu would say it out. He did not want Ling Desheng to know what he was thinking. Of course, he could not ask his mother to tell a lie.

To change the topic, Ling Tianyi asked He Meishu deliberately: “Mum, we had lunch early and now we feel a little hungry. When can we have dinner?”

“Dinner is ready. We just wait for you! Talking just now, I forgot to have dinner.” He Meishu stood up, “Let’s go to the dining hall! I will ask the servants to serve the dishes, which are your favorites.”

They sat at the table. The first thing He Meishu asked the servant to bring is ginseng and black chicken soup to Xia Xiaoluo. He Meishu always remembered clearly that she should prepare tonic soup for Xia Xiaoluo, which was good for her future grandson. In addition, He Meishu also prepared sea clam and cuttlefish soup for Ling Tianyi, which was good for men’s kidney.

“Son, you should drink more soup. This sea clam and cuttlefish soup is suitable for you, the newly married and uncontrolled young people. Men also need tonic soup, so as not to make yourself too weak. This is what I specifically ask them to cook for you. It is the best soup to tonify kidney.” He Meishu’s words made Xia Xiaoluo feel a little embarrassed. What He Meishu said was too exaggerated, as if she made her husband very weak.

However, Ling Tianyi was lustful. Even if he did not drink tonic soup, he was energetic, or even over energetic. Ling Tianyi had strong sexual desire, even if he did not eat or drink, he could make her tired. Now with the tonic soup, he would be even more energetic.

“Mum, do you think I have deficiency of kidney? Am I so useless? Don’t worry. I’m so strong that I don’t need the tonic soup at all!” Ling Tianyi wanted to drink some soup. But when his mother said that, he immediately refused to drink it. It seemed that drinking the soup meant that he admitted he had deficiency of kidney and couldn’t meet his wife’s desire. As a man, he could never accept it.

Ling Tianyi put the soup aside, refusing to drink it. He Meishu did not know what to do. Instead, she asked Xia Xiaoluo to drink more, because Xia Xiaoluo was too thin and weak.

He Meishu treated them warmly all the time, but Ling Desheng just thought about something in his heart. Now that his son wanted to be against him, he would start with his daughter-in-law. He looked at Xia Xiaoluo’s innocent face, thinking that it would be a breakthrough.

Since today was Mid-Autumn Festival, Ling Desheng wouldn’t spoil their fun even if he was old and confused. He wouldn’t say anything today. He knew that it was no use saying anything in front of his son. He also knew that Ling Tianyi’s temper was exactly the same as his. Ling Tianyi was so stubborn. He had to find another chance.

After dinner, they sat in the courtyard together. The sky after the rain was still covered with dark clouds, but it could not influence the festival. Even if they couldn’t enjoy the moon, they also felt pleasant when they looked at the sky and talked together.

Ling Tianyi took out all the gifts he bought for his parents. He said that the gifts were chosen by him and Xia Xiaoluo, and they were both filial. In fact, he wanted to say that Xia Xiaoluo bought them, but His parents knew it clearly Xia Xiaoluo was a poor student and he paid for them., so it was reasonable to say that they bought them together.

He Meishu was satisfied with that transparent jadeite bracelet. Although she had a lot of money and jewelry, it was a gift from her son and daughter-in-law. She was very happy because she thought that their care was more valuable than anything else. If they could give her a big fat grandson, she would be happier.

Ling Desheng was different. He just played with the seal engraved with the words “Ignorance is bliss” for a while, then he put it on the table and continued to taste his Junshan Silver Needle Tea.

Ling Tianyi was very satisfied with his parents’ attitude today. As usual, his mother was very enthusiastic. For Ling Desheng, he was very satisfied because Ling Desheng did not mention the thing about divorce.

At about nine o’clock, although Ling Tianyi could not bear to see his mother’s disappointing face, he still took Xia Xiaoluo out of the villa.

“Darling, we come out for a long time. Are you tired?” Ling Tianyi asked with concern while driving. After all, Xia Xiaoluo suffered from a small illness because of eating too much. Although Xia Xiaoluo said that she was okay, he was a little anxious.

“Except that I was tired of shopping, everything was okay!” When Xia Xiaoluo thought that Ling Tianyi rushed into the department store to go shopping, she was afraid because he became scary when he spent money.

“Tired of shopping? Do you feel tired when you are eating?” Ling Tianyi asked.

“I don’t feel tired when I am eating, of course. To be honest, the meal tastes absolutely good!” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“Certainly. We hire a cook from a five-star hotel at home. The taste is not what you can cook” he glanced at the unhappy little girl and said more, “However, I prefer to eat what my little wife cooks and I like it best.”

“Then I’ll cook sea clam and cuttlefish soup for you. Do you think you like it?” Xia Xiaoluo thought of what He Meishu told Ling Tianyi about the function of the soup today, and she felt very funny. Esp. the man’s expression, it was absolutely funny!

“As long as you cook! However, if I have excessive energy after drinking it, you should be responsible to solve the problem.” Ling Tianyi smiled. He thought that Xia Xiaoluo’s menstrual period would be over in two days. This afternoon, he bought ‘Purple Attraction’ and all kinds of sexy underwear he liked. When she put them on, he would surely be able to make love to her for many times. Thinking of this, he looked forward to it, and even felt that the sea clam and cuttlefish soup was not so difficult to accept.

Xia Xiaoluo said: “Then I’ll cook tomato and egg soup for you!”

Ling Tianyi burst into laughter after hearing that. “Darling, don’t you know me? Even if there is no sea clam and cuttlefish soup or no food or drink, I will be energetic. You don’t need to worry about me.”
