Chapter 1472

"Hardly tired. Serving you, Boss, is my honor." Old Ma’s face was full of flattery.

Silver Fox looked at Old Ma seriously. "Your flattery skills have improved. Speak. What happened to make you so eager?"

Old Ma shook his head quickly. "Nothing happened. How could it?" He giggled, scratching his hair. "Actually, I just want to ask, Boss, what is your relationship with the Little Divine Doctor? Why do you help her?"

"Help?" Silver Fox glanced at her. "Which eye saw me helping her? It’s a trade. I gave her info on Modu; she gave me info on Jinling. That’s all."

"That’s not right," Old Ma looked confused. "I feel something is off between you two."

"That’s your feeling. I don’t feel it." Silver Fox smiled faintly. "You think I like her? Or want to do something to her? Old Ma, you are so dirty-minded."

Old Ma was speechless. "Boss, what dirty? I didn’t think anything."

"I am thirty-five. She is only eighteen. Isn’t your thought dirty?" Silver Fox said directly. "Actually, I could accept her as my sister or daughter."

"Come on. You are thirty-five. You couldn’t have a daughter at seventeen," Old Ma muttered. "If you could have a daughter, you wouldn’t be so lonely."

Silver Fox looked at Old Ma with a half-smile. "Old Ma, you seem to have a deep grudge against me."

"No, no. No grudge. Just talking casually." Old Ma laughed, then moved to the corner. He didn’t want Silver Fox staring at him. Otherwise, he would suffer.

Silver Fox glanced at Old Ma, then returned to his files. His mind wandered, but he took a deep breath and continued reading. For now, he put Zhu Yanyi out of his mind.

Yan Aohan sent Zhu Yanyi to the Capital Hospital, then left. He promised to pick her up after work to visit Old Master Yan and the Madam.

Because of Zhu Yanyi, the ten-year agreement between Yan Aohan and Old Master Yan was effectively void. Zhu Yanyi visited them often. Yan Aohan had no choice but to accompany his wife. This made Old Master Yan secretly happy.

She had fought with her son many times and never won. But since Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan got engaged, she had won several times. She thought this daughter-in-law was a good choice.

Knowing Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi would come for dinner, the Madam asked Aunt Liu to buy fresh ingredients early. She planned to nourish them well.

Old Master Yan watched the Madam busy herself. He read the newspaper and said, "Son and daughter-in-law are coming back. Why do you make such a fuss every time? Isn’t it troublesome?"

"What do you know?" The Madam retorted immediately. "Don’t think I don’t know. Fourth Son didn’t want to come back because of your ten-year agreement. He only comes because Yanyi drags him. If not for Yanyi, you wouldn’t even see your son. And you dare talk big in front of me?"

The Madam disliked Old Master Yan’s attitude. He was speechless. "We have been married for so many years. Why do you still hold a grudge?"

"Who else should I hold a grudge against? Who drove my son away?" The Madam huffed. Occasionally arguing helped their emotional connection in old age.

Old Master Yan pretended to read the newspaper. He couldn’t win against his wife. It was better to stay quiet.

When Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan entered, they saw Old Master Yan reading the newspaper. Zhu Yanyi called out, "Dad, we are here."

Old Master Yan put down the newspaper and smiled kindly at Zhu Yanyi. "Good that you are back. Your mom is in the kitchen."

"Then I will go help her." Zhu Yanyi felt no strangeness. The two elders of the Yan family were very easy to get along with.

Zhu Yanyi walked into the kitchen. "Mom, we are back. What are we cooking today?" She went to the Madam’s side. "Let me help you."

"No need. What help? I have Aunt Liu here. Go out quickly. The smoke smell is strong here." The Madam pushed Zhu Yanyi out, worried she might misunderstand. "Actually, I can’t cook well. I only know how to cook meat. Everything else is done by Aunt Liu. I will go out too. You stay outside."

"Really no need for help?" Zhu Yanyi asked, looking around. Many dishes were already ready.

"No need." The Madam refused firmly.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi smiled and walked out of the kitchen.

In the living room, Yan Aohan looked at Old Master Yan. "If you pretend to read, at least hold the newspaper upright." But he knew better. Every time they returned, Old Master Yan held the newspaper upside down.

Old Master Yan put down the newspaper and looked at Yan Aohan with dissatisfaction. "You come back just to anger me. Why do you come back?"

"I didn’t plan to come back alone. I am accompanying my wife," Yan Aohan said without hesitation. He looked as if he hadn’t planned to come at all. Old Master Yan wanted to hit his head.

Yan Aohan saw Old Master Yan puffing his cheeks and glaring. "What? Are you angry already?"

"No. I am not angry," Old Master Yan coughed. "I am just exercising my face." He bit his left teeth, then right teeth, then front teeth, proving he wasn’t lying.

Yan Aohan snorted. "Tell the truth. Getting angry is good for health."

"You are not a doctor. How can you say anger is good for health? Aren’t you afraid I will die of anger, and you will be happy?" Old Master Yan looked at him displeased.

Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly. "I am indeed not a doctor. But my wife is. So what I say has reason."

Zhu Yanyi came out and heard this. She laughed helplessly. So she had become Yan Aohan’s banner. She glared at Yan Aohan, then sat beside Old Master Yan. "Dad, ignore him. I am on your side. If he bullies you, I will bully him when we go back."

Old Master Yan was delighted. "Our daughter-in-law is good. She cares for us old people. Raising a son is useless. Better to give her to others."

Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow. "Then let me marry into my wife’s family."
