Liu Ru Yan thought that explaining herself might ease the tension. However, she did not expect it to provoke even harsher accusations directed at Liu Yuchuan, so she wisely chose to remain silent. At that moment, Liu Zhu was even more taciturn; he knew that whatever he said in front of his wife would be futile. Moreover, this matter involved their granddaughter, Nuan Nuan, and he felt he should be the one to scold Liu Yuchuan.
The hospital room echoed with Lin Shu's reprimands as she began to enumerate Liu Yuchuan's faults, each statement dripping with dissatisfaction. Initially, Liu Yuchuan thought Lin Shu's criticisms were aimed at Liu Ru Yan's situation. However, as Lin Shu continued her tirade, he gradually realized that these accusations stemmed from his failure to take care of Liu Ru Yan, leading to a series of problems.
As he listened, Liu Yuchuan felt somewhat astonished; he hadn’t anticipated that Lin Shu would hold him to such strict standards. She even expected him to personally oversee Liu Ru Yan's meals. "Mom, are you asking me to cook for Liu Ru Yan? She's old enough, and we have a housekeeper at home. Why would I need to cook for her myself?" Liu Yuchuan couldn't help but voice his confusion.
Lin Shu was taken aback by her son's interruption; she hadn’t expected that after all her words, he would focus solely on the cooking issue. "What’s wrong with cooking? Nuan Nuan isn’t well; in the past, it was your sister-in-law and I who took care of her meals. Now it's your turn to look after her, so you naturally have to take responsibility. Besides, cooking isn’t just a woman's job. Making one meal won’t kill you; why can’t you do it?" Lin Shu retorted.
In the hospital room, Lin Shu was engaged in a meaningful conversation with her son, Liu Yuchuan. Once a formidable woman in the workplace, she had now retreated into family life, yet her inherent independence and resilience remained undiminished. When she heard her son mention cooking, her brows furrowed in concern.
"Have you been outside for too long and started thinking that only women should cook and take care of children?" Lin Shu’s words carried an undertone of impending storm. She recalled a short video she had seen where a young girl faced severe backlash for expressing similar views. This made her reflect on her own past and the principles regarding gender equality that she held dear.
Realizing his mother’s misunderstanding, Liu Yuchuan quickly clarified, "Mom, you’ve got it all wrong; I didn’t mean it like that."
Since there is an aunt who can help with cooking, you can send me the recipe from Xiao Yan. I will communicate with the nutritionist here; her health is indeed quite poor.
Liu Yuchuan originally had no such thoughts. In his family, the women were in charge, and he naturally did not dare to say much. Furthermore, he remembered his relative's past strong-willed nature, which was by no means inferior to anyone else’s, even though she now appeared gentle and courteous.
Thinking this way, Liu Ru Yan was remarkably similar to her relative in this regard. Considering that Liu Ru Yan's health truly needed nurturing, Liu Yuchuan felt it necessary to take action. Although he had previously managed to pull Liu Ru Yan away from her busy life for a moment of peace, he had overlooked the importance of a balanced diet.
I will arrange for Nuan Nuan's nutritionist to come over at an appropriate time; during this period, she should try to rest as much as possible.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Shu returned the phone to Liu Zhu and prepared himself. Liu Zhu took the phone and found that he seemed to have nothing more to say. Reluctantly, he confirmed once again: really no romantic interest? After receiving a negative answer, he immediately hung up the phone, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.
The people around them, including Liu Yuchuan and Liu Ru Yan, felt an inexplicable sense of relief and exchanged amused glances. Liu Ru Yan laughed so hard that her whole body shook; sitting on the bed, she found the situation increasingly ridiculous.
"Hahaha, Yi Yi, when did you get pregnant? Just thinking about it makes me laugh!"
However, speaking of which, their judgment really seemed off; my uncle is not worthy of you. He is indeed older—hahaha—but looking at the photos, you two actually seem quite compatible.
Liu Ru Yan laughed until tears streamed down her face; she found everything too amusing. Mo Daowan sat beside her, helplessly watching her while also keeping an eye on her IV hand to prevent blood from flowing back.
Thanks to Mo Daowan; otherwise, given Liu Ru Yan's activity level lately, she would probably need another IV soon.
"Enough already! Your grandmother said you should rest for a few days. I’ll help you take leave during this time." Liu Yuchuan found the entire situation absurd and didn’t know where to begin explaining.
Lan Ruo Yi curiously asked, "Uncle, what were you trying to say earlier?"
Her reminder jogged Liu Ru Yan's memory of the conversation before the call.
Do you know Li Meng? At this moment, Liu Yuchuan no longer felt the initial tension.
Mo Daowan paused slightly, but ultimately remained silent.
Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi were both taken aback, not expecting the conversation to shift to Li Meng: Yes, we know her.
Lan Ruo Yi's gaze sharpened.
I just thought of something! She has already left.
Two voices echoed simultaneously in Liu Ru Yan's ears and mind.
Liu Ru Yan was stunned, staring blankly at Lan Ruo Yi. What does this mean? Liu Ru Yan was still confused.
Lan Ruo Yi stopped her movements, contemplating how to explain this to Liu Ru Yan. She raised her right hand and elegantly snapped her fingers.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Mo Daowan's motion halted in the instant he wanted to look up, while Liu Yuchuan stared at her in surprise.
Xie Yichang, however, was different; he seemed on the verge of falling asleep, his eyes half-closed.
This posture looked quite tiring, but Liu Ru Yan had no time to consider that now.
She was simply astonished: Your ability has returned?
Lan Ruo Yi had originally wanted to test her own abilities as well, but she hadn't expected it to actually work.
Hmm, it is indeed strange. Li Meng is gone, yet my abilities have returned too; this is quite the news.
By the way, what were you about to say earlier?
