He pouted, his bun face puffing up cutely, and Ji Niandong chuckled, "I just heard Nian Nian calling for his dad in a hurry!"
Lu Sinian’s face immediately turned red, and he hastily responded, "When did I? Sister Tongtong must have been startled and misheard!"
"Is that so?" Lu Qingyuan laughed happily, "Looks like my eldest grandson loves his dad to bits, he’s grown up!"
He couldn’t help but sigh, while Lu Sinian furrowed his brows and sat on the sofa holding Jiu Jiu, sulking, "Who loves him?!"
"My dear grandson, thinking of his dad but calling Mr. Lu out loud. What will you do if your dad has a little brother or sister with Sister Tongtong in the future?!"
After Lu Qingyuan spoke, Lu Sinian’s brows tightened, casting a locked gaze at the two holding hands, his face dark and displeased, lips sealed tightly.
Before everyone could finish teasing, Li Yi rushed in with Zhu Yiming, "Boss, Doctor Zhu is here!"
Zhu Yiming sauntered in with a medicine box, his long legs taking relaxed strides, exuding a sense of laziness. After greeting Lu Qingyuan and Li Huiqin, he sat down and began mixing medications.
"It’s just a dog bite, yet you make such a fuss and call me over. Didn’t I specially assign you a doctor? Couldn’t you call her?" Zhu Yiming complained impatiently, though he never paused his work.
Lu Beichen responded casually, "I trust you, consider it your honor! Besides, you sent me a female doctor, Mrs. Lu would get jealous!"
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Zhu Yiming shook his head, "Already under the wife’s thumb so soon!"
He glanced Ji Niandong up and down, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Ji Niandong suddenly recalled his earlier comment about "an older cow eating young grass," her face heating up instantly. She didn’t even know a female doctor existed and was misunderstood again!
Lu Qingyuan chimed in, "As long as Tongtong is fine, young folks, chat on your own. I and your Aunt Hui will go rest!"
Hand in hand, the two of them left, indeed a loving old couple, and Ji Niandong watched their backs full of admiration.
"Hiss!" Zhu Yiming tore off the gauze Lu Beichen had placed on her neck, and she winced in pain.
"Be gentle!" Lu Beichen’s tone remained calm, but his brows showed a trace of worry.
Nearby, Lu Sinian also released Jiu Jiu, shifted to the sofa, and lay down watching Ji Niandong, advising, "Uncle Zhu, be gentler!"
Zhu Yiming smiled faintly, "This brat is still so cheeky, but he clearly likes Miss Ji a lot."
"Call her sister-in-law!" Lu Beichen emphasized casually.
Ji Niandong remembered Zhu Yiming’s request from before and quickly said, "No need, just call me Tongtong!"
The day after her dad’s operation, Zhu Yiming had only this one request, not to let Lu Beichen force him to call her sister-in-law!
She recalled Zhu Yiming having a hint of admiration, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony from now on!" He glanced at the watery bun face nearby, "For Nian Nian’s sake, Tongtong is also worth my repeated visits..."
Playfully, a smile crept onto Zhu Yiming’s face, "Looking closely, Nian Nian and Tongtong do have a certain resemblance, no wonder Nian Nian is so fond of his new mom!"
"Zhu Yiming!" Lu Beichen coughed lightly, showing a rare sign of nervousness.
That nervousness flickered by so quickly that no one even noticed.
