", coach Lulu?"
Jiang Xinghai let out a dumbfounded, embarrassed laugh. "Sir, I'm just a doctor helping Lulu get her health back. I wouldn't call that coaching."
"Er... Hahaha, it's the sa idea."
Knowing he'd been a bit too blunt, Lin Qingyuan gestured for him to take a seat. "Co, sit down and rest a while. I was wondering, are you married yet, Little Divine Doctor Jiang?"
"Not at the mont," Jiang Xinghai shook his head.
"That's wonderful!" Lin Qingyuan was delighted.
Jiang Xinghai already knew what was coming next and quickly changed the subject. "Sir, have you booked the restaurant?"
"Yes, at the Fragrant Food Pavilion. It's considered one of the most high-end restaurants in Jizhou. While it's not as large as a hotel, its interior, layout, and cuisine are all Top Grade, on par with the First-grade Pavilion," Lin Qingyuan explained.
"In that case, I'll let a few friends know. They're friends of Lulu's who wanted to join us tonight to liven things up." Jiang Xinghai took out his phone and stepped out the door with a smile.
Lin Qingyuan watched Jiang Xinghai's retreating figure and nodded to himself in approval.
As soon as Jiang Xinghai finished his call, Lin Qingyuan imdiately walked over. "Little Divine Doctor Jiang, my daughter, Liping... because she was so focused on studying dicine with , she's never even dated. Now she's already a thirty-year-old unmarried girl."
He intentionally stressed the two words "unmarried girl," wanting to tell Jiang Xinghai that his daughter, Lin Liping, was still a virgin.
Jiang Xinghai just smiled without saying a word.
'I wonder what his expression would be if he knew I'd already been intimate with Lin Liping?'
"And of course, there's my granddaughter, Lulu. She grew up with and Liping, and we raised her very strictly. I can guarantee that she's also untouched," Lin Qingyuan said with a chuckle, offering Jiang Xinghai a cigarette.
Jiang Xinghai took the cigarette and lit it for Lin Qingyuan in return. "Sir, you can just call Jiang from now on."
"Alright, I'll call you Jiang." Lin Qingyuan was quite pleased.
'He's letting call him Jiang. He must be receptive to what I just said.'
'Whether it's my daughter or my granddaughter, as long as one of them can win Jiang Xinghai's heart, it would be enough to make proud.'
'In fact, if this weren't the Mortal World, he'd happily agree even if Jiang Xinghai wanted to have both won at the sa ti.'
"Grandpa, we should get going."
Feng Lulu and Lin Liping were coming down the stairs.
Feng Lulu was wearing a sky-blue princess dress, its hem embroidered with a continuous line of silver-threaded lilies.
A light-blue velvet flower was pinned in her hair, which was styled in a single spiral bun, making her delicate, pretty face look even more exquisite.
Lin Liping, on the other hand, had changed into a long red dress embroidered with scattered roses. The embellishnts were perfectly placed, and her sleek bob swayed slightly with each step, giving her an alluring and enchanting air.
"Xinghai, what are you staring at?"
Feng Lulu teased, "Have you fallen for my aunt?"
Jiang Xinghai gave an awkward laugh.
"You brat, what are you talking about?" Lin Liping's expression cooled.
Feng Lulu giggled and looped her arm through Jiang Xinghai's. "Let's go, Xinghai. We'll let my aunt be shy for a little while longer."
The mont the two of them left, Lin Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction and murmured, "Liping, I actually think you and Jiang would make a good match."
"Father, you know my career is my priority. Let's go," Lin Liping said with a serious expression.
Lin Qingyuan shook his head with a wry smile. "If that's the case, then Lulu and Jiang would also be a good match."
"Lulu is only nineteen. There's no rush," Lin Liping added.
Lin Qingyuan's face grew stern. "I don't care. One of you, either you or Lulu, must try to get closer to Jiang."
"Father, I know what you're thinking. You want to tie Jiang Xinghai down to our Jishan Hall, don't you?" Lin Liping let out a rueful laugh.
Lin Qingyuan gave a noncommittal nod. "It's not so crude as all that. If Jiang already has soone in his heart, then of course we couldn't be so shaless. But if he doesn't, why shouldn't you and Lulu give it a shot? It's simply taking advantage of a favorable position. That's not shaless at all."
They closed the door to Jishan Hall as they spoke.
Then, the four of them got into a Land Rover and headed straight for the Fragrant Food Pavilion.
Fragrant Food Pavilion.
The "pavilion" was actually a restaurant in a small alley, a converted traditional courtyard residence that was also known as a private kitchen.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Xinghai and the others made their way down the alley.
"My grandpa and the owner here are old friends. Even if all the private rooms are booked, he can always get one for us," Feng Lulu said happily, holding onto Lin Qingyuan's arm.
Lin Qingyuan stroked his beard and chuckled. "Ever since you ca to live with , we've been in Jizhou. For over a decade now, I've helped Boss Xiong with his health more tis than I can count. Besides, the dicinal liquor they serve here is my own special blend. Of course he's going to show so respect."
Laughing and chatting, the group stepped into the Fragrant Food Pavilion.
"Uncle Lin! Didn't my dad call you? I'm so sorry, but the biggest room, the Taishan Suite, has been taken. Now there isn't even a table left in the main hall. I'm afraid you'll have to find another place." A brawny, middle-aged man walked over from the counter, his expression apologetic.
