Chapter 1203 - 1200: Proposal (Part 1)

At that moment, a voice came from inside the room: "Come on in, don’t sneak around talking outside."

The three of them hurried in.

They saw Liu Daqing had already sat up, leaning against the headboard. Although her complexion was very weak and tired, her eyes were still sharp. Her silver-gray hair appeared even whiter under the light. "What are you mumbling about? It’s just a minor illness. What’s the big deal?"

Wan Donglin steadied his mind, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, we are going to the United States for a check-up tomorrow..."

Wan Dongmei also said: "I’ve already contacted the hospital and invited a very skilled doctor..."

She immediately showed displeasure: "Why go to the South Country? Aren’t the doctors here just talking nonsense?"

"No, no, the doctor only mentioned it was a respiratory issue, and the domestic smog is indeed quite severe, so it’s better to go out and take a look. After all, it’s just a minor illness. It’s better to check it out outside..."

Liu Daqing decisively said: "I’ve been in the country for two or three years now, and I’m used to this climate. Isn’t there a joke that goes like this? A person from A Country just arrived in Rui City, fainted immediately as he got off the plane. The doctor diagnosed him as coming from North City and immediately called an ambulance, put him on carbon dioxide, and the patient woke up leisurely after a while..."

Everyone exchanged glances, surprised that she could still make jokes.

Liu Daqing chuckled: "Even though the smog is severe, you have to understand that air pollution also has its benefits. We have multiple pollutions intertwined: air, food, cooking oil, toxic rice, poison... Think about it, an A Country person spends his entire life surrounded by pollution. According to martial arts novels, it’s like fighting poison with poison, making oneself immune to all toxins. Over time, maybe everyone will become immortal, undead Green-Haired Zombies..."

Even Yan Xixi couldn’t help but burst into laughter: "Since the Empress Dowager says so, then it’s nothing, just be at ease, every region has its life to sustain."

Liu Daqing nodded: "You two are more open-minded about this than Xixi. I’m just suffering from a minor ailment anyway. As people get older, just like machines age, no matter how well you maintain them, various issues will arise. When one is calm, coolness follows, don’t overthink it. Alright, I think that’s about it; tomorrow I will be discharged from the hospital."

"How can that be okay? Mom..."

Wan Donglin wanted to say something, but Yan Xixi signaled him to stop: "Empress Dowager, what would you like to eat?"

"I’m not really craving anything. But there’s still one matter on my mind which isn’t settled..."

"What matter?"

Liu Daqing glared at her son: "Silly boy, do you remember what you promised me before?"

"What?"

"You promised to let me have a grandchild soon, to give me a big surprise. But look at how many years have passed? Where’s the surprise you promised me?"

Wan Donglin let out a bitter laugh.

All eyes were on Yan Xixi’s face.

Yan Xixi blushed, touched her hair with her hand, and giggled, "Well..."

Wan Dongmei spoke quickly: "I say you two shouldn’t be so coy anymore. You’re not getting any younger, and you should have been married long ago. Procrastinating isn’t a solution. Isn’t it?"

"Well, Boss, urging me won’t help..."

Yan Xixi glared at him fiercely: "Somebody hasn’t proposed to me yet... Surely I shouldn’t be the one proposing to you, right?"
