After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 641 - 645: The Upgraded Version of the Bitter Flesh Stratagem [1]

Looking at his father leaning against the headboard, his white hair gleaming under the lamp light, Leng Zirui raised his hand to tuck the blanket around him, "Take a rest for a while."

"What’s the matter?"

Reading his son’s face, a hint of inquiry was added to Leng Lin’s tone.

Leng Zirui’s temperament differed from Leng Zimo’s. Leng Zimo was almost a carbon copy of Leng Lin, even more dominant than him, while Leng Zirui combined the characteristics of both Mother Leng and his father, even resembling his mother more closely.

Mother Leng had been just like him in the past: loving laughter and speech, seemingly eternally unaware of what sorrow was, maintaining her optimism even in her final moments of life.

It was probably due to this personality that the relationship between Leng Lin and his second son was much more harmonious.

Normally, Leng Zirui would have used his witty words to retort at times like these, but today, he was uncharacteristically obedient to the scolding, which was somewhat abnormal.

Seeing the scrutinizing look in his father’s eyes, Leng Zirui silently cursed in his mind and immediately put on the carefree smile he usually wore.

"Aren’t you always complaining about not having a daughter? I figured, considering all the pains you’ve taken, I’d play your doting little helper for a few days!"

Leng Lin just looked at him disdainfully and said, "Get me some water."

"As you command, Supreme Emperor. Your servant will get it for you immediately!" After grabbing a glass, he walked over to the water dispenser, poured Leng Lin a cup of water, carefully adjusted the head of the bed, helped him sit up, and then handed the glass to him.

After taking a sip of water, Leng Lin frowned, "Why haven’t the check-up results come out yet? Get Yizhou over here and arrange for my discharge. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital gives me a headache."

"You think a medical check-up is like committing murder with a gun, where you just pull the trigger and boom, it’s all done? It takes time, so just lie down here for a few days."

"I can’t lie down any longer. At the latest, arrange for my discharge tomorrow morning."

Leng Zirui glanced at his expression and suddenly had a thought, "Hey, old man, did those two mention the pregnancy to you?"

Leng Lin arched an eyebrow and said nothing; both children had nearly had a fallout with him, so neither would have revealed anything about a pregnancy.

"Still keeping it a secret? Does Xiao Qian not want the child?" Leng Zirui pretended to bluster, "Let me warn you, these young ladies nowadays don’t like having kids. Xiao Qian’s career is on the rise. If she gets pregnant, she’d have to step back from the music scene for at least a year or so. She loves singing so much, she definitely won’t be willing to give it up."

What Leng Zirui said made perfect sense. Xiao Qian was still so young, and with her pursuit of a career, she indeed might truly not want to marry and have children.

As for Leng Zimo, he was even more indulgent of his wife than Leng Lin had been in his day. If Xiao Qian said she didn’t want the child, he certainly wouldn’t force her.

Could it be that his great-grandson would be lost just like this?!

"What should we do?", sighed Leng Lin, who had faced all kinds of enemies in his military career without worry, but now could only sigh deeply, "If she really doesn’t want it, then I’ll have to wait a few more years!"

Seeing his father take the bait, Leng Zirui immediately started to offer advice and strategies, "As long as you cooperate, I have a way to make them get married right away and give you a great-grandson!"

"What’s the method?" Leng Lin asked curiously.

Leng Zirui gave an ambiguous smile, "An upgraded version of the ploy of inflicting an injury on oneself!"

An upgraded version of the ploy of inflicting an injury on oneself?

Leng Lin glanced at the smile on Leng Zirui’s handsome face and snorted lightly, "It sounds like a bad idea."
