Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 232: Mother Chen Urges Birth
Su Yunjin drank the tea silently, put down the cup, and sighed calmly.

Am I being too impatient? I've already figured out what to do.

But, if the captain really likes Lingyun...

You can't win the battle.

Fortunately, the captain just clarified that he is still single, has no girlfriend, and has no plans to pursue anyone.

In other words, he will not take the initiative to develop relationships with anyone, and everyone has the opportunity to compete fairly.

You're so cunning, Yan Yu. If you say that, aren't you forcing me...

I can only continue to be stupid...

Lin Ning next to her, although holding a mobile phone in her hand, her mind was not on it at all - she hadn't swiped the screen for a long, long time.

What did the captain mean by what he said just now?
He, he wouldn't misunderstand that I'm jealous!

Or am I being too obvious?
Oh, so annoying, I shouldn’t have asked directly.

It's all the captain's fault! He's been acting so mysterious all day and never tells me what he's thinking...

It makes me so uneasy and uncomfortable.

I really want to kick him to vent my anger.

Xie Ruoxi didn't know what her two sisters were thinking, but just silently thought about what Yan Yu said before he left.

Yan Zhanlong said that he is still single, has no girlfriend, and has no plans to actively pursue anyone. What does this mean?

Wait, are you hinting at me?
Just now, outside the villa, Sister Lingyun said, "Yan Yu really cares about who I kiss," so Yan Zhanlong might be interested in me—I've known this for a long time. Otherwise, why would he add me as his friend and bring me to Jinling? He clearly didn't even check my cultivation talent, so he must have been attracted to me from the beginning.

In other words, he just wanted to push the other sisters away, just like the male protagonist in the novel told the second and third female characters, "I'm not interested in a relationship." In fact, he was just trying to avoid getting involved in other people's emotional lines.

Hehehe, actually there is no need to do this for me.

Xie Ruoxi was thinking happily in her heart, when she saw Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly stand up.

"So what are we having for dinner?" She looked at the silent crowd frantically, venting her frustration and yelling, "Why aren't you talking?"

But Chen Lingyun went upstairs and came to the door of her bedroom. She heard her mother talking on the phone inside, and she seemed to be arguing with her father:
“…It’s all your fault!”

"I don't care what you did. Lingyun is our daughter. Tell me what to do with her now that she's in this state!"

"How can I feel at ease? Chen Tianming, let me tell you, if Lingyun..."

Chen Lingyun reached out and knocked on the door, and the angry voice inside stopped abruptly.

After a while, Chen's mother came over to open the door with a smile on her face:

"Lingyun, where did you go just now? Mom went downstairs to look for you but couldn't find you..."

"I just went to the yard to relax." Chen Lingyun maintained an elegant and perfect smile and said obediently, "Mom, don't worry, I have figured it out."

"That's good." Mother Chen didn't know what her daughter had figured out, so she could only cautiously agree with her. Then she asked, "So you..."

"I should like Yan Yu." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "But I don't want my mother to interfere. This is our own business."

Mother Chen subconsciously understood what Chen Lingyun meant by "ourselves" as "our daughter and Yan Yu". She finally breathed a sigh of relief and said comfortingly:

"Nannan, you almost scared me to death earlier. Anyway, it's a good thing that you can think clearly on your own. I won't interfere in your affairs. Yanyu is indeed very outstanding. Your father just told me that he has no objection to you and Yanyu continuing to develop a relationship..."

She rambled on and on, caressing her daughter's hair lovingly, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Why is your hair so messy?"

"It was just because of the river wind blowing outside that it messed up my hair." Chen Lingyun's answer was flawless.

"Okay, come here and let mommy comb your hair for you."

Mother Chen sat by the dressing table, picked up the comb on the table, and looked at it over and over again: "What brand of wooden comb is this?"

"Qingyang brand."

Mother Chen asked Chen Lingyun to sit down as well and began to comb her hair affectionately:

"Is it purchased or custom-made?"

"bought."

"If you like this brand, I'll have them make one for you." Chen's mother gently combed her hair, mumbling to herself as usual. "Combs, shampoo, conditioner—these are things you use directly on your body. Don't buy store-bought stuff just for convenience. Everyone's hair is different. Some hair is often oily, some tangles easily, and hair quality changes with age, so regular, targeted maintenance and care are necessary... Give me a few strands of your hair, and I'll have the genetic center in Pingjing run tests and come up with a comprehensive plan for hair care."

"Mom." Chen Lingyun's smile was somewhat helpless. "We are cultivators. We don't need those mortal methods."

Mother Chen was slightly stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said:

"Mom was confused and forgot that you are a cultivator... Oh, how great, Yan Yu is also a cultivator. You two have such excellent genes, the baby you will have in the future will definitely have a great talent for cultivation."

"It's too early to talk about that." Chen Lingyun just smiled. "Besides, if you can achieve immortality through cultivation, there's no need to have children."

"No, you still have to have a child," Chen's mother objected. "When I was young, I thought the same way as you. I felt that living a happy life was the most important thing, and having children should be put off until later. Why did you change your mind? At the time, your mother had a little sister... Her family was also well-off, but she was suddenly diagnosed with advanced breast cancer and passed away within six months!"

"Her parents must have been so upset. They only had one daughter and no other children. In the end, they lost their child. The old couple couldn't have any more children at the time. The family had hundreds of billions of assets. Oh my! After they passed away, there would be no one to inherit. Either it would be donated to the country or it would be sold to outsiders. Tell me, this is really..."

Chen Lingyun was obedient and silent. Of course, she understood Chen's mother's concerns.

Monks do have an advantage over mortals in lifespan, but they are far less safe. The most common accidental casualty for mortals is a car accident, but what about monks? A clay pot will break if it's kept out of the well, and a general is bound to die on the battlefield. Ultimately, this is a profession of fighting and killing, so who can guarantee eternal victory?

If I could leave behind a child, if I were to die unexpectedly someday, at least my gray-haired parents would have something to look forward to, and wouldn't be completely despairing...

"Oh, Mom is just talking." Seeing her daughter remained silent, Chen's mother quickly changed the subject and said, "We don't care about anything. We'll just wait for you and Yanyu to confirm your relationship and bring the baby back for mom and dad to see. After you get married, you can have a baby if you want, or not if you don't. Behind closed doors, it's your own business, okay?"

"Yeah." Chen Lingyun smiled and nodded.

"The conditions in your villa are still a bit poor." Chen's mother combed her hair and looked at the furnishings in the room. "Are you planning to hire more people at home, or send a few over? They're all elderly ladies, and it's very convenient for them to take care of your daily life..."

"No thanks." Chen Lingyun politely declined, "We monks have military backgrounds, and some things are inconvenient for outsiders to see."

"Oh, yes, your father said that too." Mother Chen remembered it after being reminded by her, and said embarrassedly, "Then Mom can't help you..."

"Mom, I'm glad you came to see me." Chen Lingyun hugged her and said with a smile, "I'll try to come back to Jianghai to see you more often in the future."

"Just look at me, not your dad." Chen's mother was very happy to hear this, and then complained, "Your dad is always looking for Lao Li. Why don't you just let him give up politics and join the army..."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, then left the room and went downstairs hand in hand.

When the two of them came to the living room, the four girls looked over at the same time.

Chen Lingyun smiled and gestured, and suddenly heard Zhao Yuanzhen's voice transmission asking her:
"Lingyun, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Mom," Chen Lingyun said, "Are we still eating out tonight?"

"The kitchen here is too small, it's not convenient for cooking." Chen's mother said with a smile, "How about we eat at the hotel?"

Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi looked at each other and saw joy on each other's faces.

Mother Chen was too lazy to care about these two uneducated girls. She just looked left and right and suddenly asked:

"Where's Yanyu?"

"The captain just went out." Lin Ning stood up and said, "I'll go find him."

"No need to go to such trouble." Mother Chen liked the quick and clear manner of this girl from southern Fujian and said with a smile, "Call him first and ask where he is."
