Romantic Medical Immortal

Now that the topic is out in the open, Kong Jingshan didn’t hold back anymore and said with a smile, "Xiaochen, you’re together with Lin Wen now, and you’re going to help manage the Kong Family. We’re all one family now."

"I know young people don’t like restrictions, so I won’t force you to get married, but you could have a kid first."

"You see, my age is getting on, and I just want to see the next heir. That’s not too much to ask, right? Men can have children at any age, but Lin Wen’s optimal age for childbirth is right now. In two years, it wouldn’t be ideal, not to mention risky, as advanced maternal age poses a threat, so you should consider preparing for pregnancy as soon as possible."

Kong Jingshan jabbered on a lot, but his main point was urging them to have a child.

"Xiaoni, you’re Lin Wen’s godmother, do you think what I’m saying makes sense?"

He didn’t just speak for himself; he also looked to Ni Qingyao for support.

Ni Qingyao felt somewhat awkward; after all, her relationship with Yang Cheng was not just ordinary. After choosing her words carefully, she said, "Kong, this matter should depend on the kids’ own wishes. They’re still young, and even if they had a child, they wouldn’t know how to take care of it."

Kong Jingshan immediately retorted, "What’s the problem with that? I can pay to hire someone to look after the child, plus, when they manage the Kong Family’s businesses, I’ll be at home watching the grandchild. They won’t need to worry at all."

Upon hearing this, Ni Qingyao didn’t know quite what to say, so she simply nodded with a smile.

Kong Lingwen was dumbfounded; she never expected her dad would be so insistent on urging them to have a child, speaking with such reasoning, likely having already done extensive research.

The restaurant suddenly fell silent, and Kong Jingshan looked at the expressions of the two and felt somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly spoke up, "Uncle Kong, you’re right, but I want to resolve these current troubles before preparing for pregnancy. Otherwise, I’m worried someone might harm Lin Wen."

"Ah? Really planning to have a child?"

Kong Lingwen was stunned, looking at Yang Cheng confusedly, then she noticed the man wink at her.

She instantly understood; this was just a delaying tactic. If they didn’t agree, Kong Jingshan might keep pestering them about this over the coming period.

"What’s the matter with you, girl? Xiaochen agreed, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Xiaochen is so excellent; his child will surely stand out and, with proper upbringing, will definitely help grow the Kong Family even stronger."

Listening to Kong Jingshan’s words, Kong Lingwen was also swayed. Earlier, she approached Yang Rou and Yang Cheng about having a child, partly because of Yang Cheng’s Pure Yang Dragon Physique genes.

The child born would surely be exceptional, and if they really had this child, her father would be much more at ease.

"Dad, I understand. Once these matters are settled, Yang Cheng and I will begin preparing for pregnancy."

Kong Lingwen agreed, and the old father was instantly overjoyed, personally serving soup to the two.

"Come, drink more, start nourishing your bodies now, and after some time, you can just go ahead with having kids."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng and Kong Lingwen exchanged glances, both seeing unspoken resignation in each other’s eyes.

Even though they were ingredients for kidney nourishment, the taste was quite good. Yang Cheng felt exhausted after the day’s work and quite hungry, so he dug in heartily.

Just then, footsteps were heard from the restaurant’s entrance, and everyone looked up to see Kong Lingchuan.

Seeing so many people eating together without waiting for him, a surge of anger welled up inside Kong Lingchuan, and he suppressed his fury to say, "I’ve been busy at the company all day; coming back, there’s not even a hot meal for me. Do you still consider me part of this family?"

Kong Jingshan, who had been smiling earlier, had his face instantly turn sour and responded displeased, "You’ve been busy at the company, and we were just idle?"

"Today, your sister and Yang Cheng were busy as well, running back and forth between the hospital and hotel with patients having skin infections; Yang Cheng treated them one by one and is exhausted. Do they really have to wait for you to return before eating?"

Kong Lingchuan was naturally aware of what Yang Cheng and Kong Lingwen did at the hospital today since he had long been informed by his uncle, Cao Ruibin.

But he just felt uncomfortable, knowing his dad was biased towards his sister, and now with Yang Cheng’s arrival, his dad’s heart seemed even farther away.

Clearly, he was the only son of the Kong Family, and just because his mother was a third party, must he be forever nailed to the pillar of shame?

Since they’re going to force him, they shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless. As long as he helps his uncle, everything in the Kong Family will still be his.

Seeing Kong Lingchuan not respond, Kong Jingshan continued to question: "You said you were busy at the company all day; now, tell me, what did you do?"

This question left Kong Lingchuan momentarily speechless.

In truth, he was late returning home because he secretly sent the company’s accounts, project plans, including core secrets of its various properties, all to his uncle.

He felt quite anxious inside, knowing that leaking these things would cause irreversible damage to the Kong Family.

But his uncle said that since the Kong Family was an in-law, they wouldn’t go too far. With these things in hand, his uncle could support him in becoming the Kong Family’s heir.

Kong Lingchuan felt it made sense, believing his uncle wouldn’t harm him. Once he becomes the heir, he’ll step all over Kong Lingwen and prove to his father that he, the son, is truly outstanding but has simply been kept from shining.

"The company is under a lot of pressure lately. I’ve been thinking of solutions and had a meeting with the public relations department. I didn’t expect it to get so late."

He remained silent for some time before finally squeezing out those words.

"Enough, if you’re hungry then hurry and come eat, don’t just stand there foolishly."

Kong Jingshan frowned, his demeanor appearing somewhat impatient, signaling the servant to set up another place setting.

Kong Lingchuan sat down to eat, but his mood was heavy, feeling like there were two little men inside him fighting. One said he was right; only his uncle could help him push Kong Lingwen aside, or he’d only get a meager share of the company’s profits.

But the other little man said he was ungrateful, betraying the father who nurtured him for so many years, leading to no good end.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.

Yang Cheng ate a lot of kidney-nourishing ingredients and accompanied Kong Jingshan for a few drinks, feeling flushed and used cold water for his shower.

Once he finished bathing, Kong Lingwen was nowhere to be seen.

This woman really was foolish, hiding wasn’t any use; dragging it out longer means when the urges escalate later, the battle will be fiercer. She’d be better off cooperating now while he’s not overly uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to head out to find Kong Lingwen, his phone suddenly vibrated twice.
