Chapter 727: Awkwardness

Your own father’s health, his primary care doctor knows best. You’ll always need a buffer period to avoid the doctor noticing anything unusual.

By the time school starts again, I believe dad’s health will be well-adjusted. Even if the primary care doctor has any thoughts, they’ll likely credit it to my herbal concoction.

After all, I’m Mr. Du’s apprentice.

Chatted with Granny Zhang for a bit before heading back to my room.

Just as she was changing into her pajamas, she heard a knock on the door: "Yanyan, are you asleep?"

Upon hearing her mom’s voice, Xinyan opened the door: "Mom, why are you here?"

Gu Wanqing looked at her daughter with a smile: "Tonight, I’ll sleep with you."

Xinyan shrugged: "Mom, do you think dad will agree?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wanqing quickly shut the door and fastened the latch: "I’ve already talked to him."

As she spoke, she tried to push Xinyan onto the bed, but just then the door was knocked on: "Wanqing, are you done talking?"

Xinyan glanced at the door in annoyance, then looked at her mom: "Alright, is this fun for you two?"

Gu Wanqing said with a hint of grievance: "I just wanted to talk to you. Why is it so hard?"

Seeing her expression, Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh: "Alright, hurry back or neither of us will sleep."

Saying this, she took a few steps forward and opened the door.

Han Jingchen looked at Gu Wanqing in the room: "Didn’t you say you were feeling a bit bored? I just prepared some fruit for you, and now you’re gone."

After speaking, he extended his hand: "Let’s go, it’s late. Yanyan should rest. Whatever you want to say, leave it for tomorrow."

Xinyan watched the two of them and felt amused, but also a bit envious.

Dad had waited for mom for so many years, and mom always kept her promise. Whenever she got the chance, she abandoned her overseas business to develop back home.

These days, dad doesn’t want to be away from mom even for a moment. If she disappears from his sight, he’ll come looking for her.

She knew mom wanted to be close to her, to share personal thoughts, but she could also understand dad’s feelings. So, she’ll wait until dad goes to work before talking to mom. For now, she won’t compete with dad for mom’s attention.

She privately checked mom’s pulse, and her health is great. She doesn’t need to do much more, but regularly drinking Space Stream Water might have unexpected benefits, which she believes both dad and mom will appreciate.

She watched silently as they were happy, and that was enough.

Similarly, she prepared two cups of milk with a splash of Space Stream Water and brought them over.

Gently knocked on the door: "Dad, I made some milk for you two and left it outside."

After saying this, she placed the cups down and quickly left because she heard movement inside the room. If she didn’t make a run for it, how awkward would that be!

Xinyan dashed back to her room, thinking: It seems that from now on, I should deliver the milk in the morning. Otherwise, I’ll make it into something else. Yes, just like that, happily decided.

She patted her face, telling herself that if she wasn’t awkward, then the awkward ones would be mom and dad, and sleep is the most important thing in the world.

The next day, when she woke up, He Jinxuan had already arrived.

Upon seeing her come out, He Jinxuan approached: "You’re up, hurry and wash up. I’ll take you for driving lessons later."

Xinyan glanced around the living room, didn’t see mom and dad, then swept her gaze through the yard, and still saw no one: "Where’s my mom and dad?"

He Jinxuan looked at her confusion: "Uncle took Aunt to the Jiao Family."

Upon hearing this, Xinyan thought: These two actually ran off by themselves, shouldn’t they have taken me?

Suddenly recalling last night’s events, she coughed lightly to cover up: "Oh."

Granny Zhang also wandered into the living room at this moment: "Yanyan, Jinxuan has been here for half an hour; hurry and wash up for breakfast."

Granny Zhang didn’t know Jinxuan was here to teach Xinyan to drive, thinking they were heading out for an errand, so she urged her.

Xinyan replied with a smile: "Okay, heading there now."

He Jinxuan watched her run out eagerly, then turned to Granny Zhang: "Granny Zhang, no rush. Now that it’s the holidays, let her rest well."

Granny Zhang felt glad: "True, since school started, she’s been busy like a spinning top."

Xinyan acted quickly, mainly because she was eager to go learn driving with He Jinxuan, thinking that in a few years, she’d get herself a car.

But remembering He Jinxuan’s words before, about needing to learn car repair to pass the driving exam, made her feel a bit melancholic.

After a deep breath, she encouraged herself: Given her photographic memory, she should be able to pass smoothly, right?

Although she thought this, she didn’t have much confidence, because she’s quite clueless about mechanical things.

After quickly finishing breakfast and changing clothes, she addressed He Jinxuan, who was chatting with Granny Zhang: "Ready to go."

He Jinxuan saw her enthusiasm, smiled and said goodbye to Granny Zhang before turning to Xinyan: "Let’s go."
