Chapter 137 - 134: Meeting Gift
"Yes!" Leng Mochen nodded his head. "How has your health been lately?"
"Same as ever. You’ve been gone for ten months; your mother misses you a lot. This time, don’t leave again! Now that you have a girlfriend, get along well, aim to settle down early, and let me hold a great-grandchild soon. That would fulfill this old man’s wish!"
Speaking of that, Mr. Leng Sr. felt frustrated. His two sons got married and had children right when they were of age, and both had sons and daughters. However, when it came to his grandsons, they were outstanding in both looks and talent—real gems—but their marriages seem to have hit a wall.
The eldest grandson is over 30 and still unmarried, always claiming he’s busy with work! Thankfully, the second grandson hasn’t followed in his footsteps; at least he brought home a girlfriend.
Upon hearing his words, Li Si’s face flushed bright red. She stole a glance at Leng Mochen—this man, so proper and upright, really was attractive. But why did every member of the Leng Family talk about having grandsons? What if they had daughters instead?
"Dad, this time Mochen isn’t going anywhere! Mr. Yan Sr.’s daughter-in-law has taken Li Si as her goddaughter. From now on, you can look forward to holding a great-grandchild!" Mrs. Leng interjected, her mind racing. With the two of them together, it might not be long before she became a grandmother herself.
Mr. Leng Sr. lightly nodded in approval. "Very good! Young lady, come visit me whenever you have some free time!" With that, he pulled a small, circular piece of vibrant jade from his right pocket. "This is just a little thing. I’ll give it to you as a meeting gift from Grandpa."
Under Leng Mochen’s nodding signal, Li Si accepted the gift, feeling both surprised and flattered. She hadn’t expected the old man to give her a present upon meeting her. The jade was intricately carved with floral patterns, no larger than her thumb, cool and smooth to the touch—it must be a rare treasure.
Thankfully, she’d done her homework on his preferences beforehand. Li Si retrieved a blood-red chicken-blood stone wrapped in soft cloth from her bag. "This is for you. I hope you’ll like it?"
