Chapter 516: Warm Breakfast Time (3k)

Mmm……

As sunlight streamed into the room, Tang Wulin opened his eyes on the bed.

He stretched widely, got out of bed, left the room, and heard the voices of Lang Yue and Huo Yutong talking from the kitchen.

"Yutong, your cooking smells really good; that child Wulin will be truly blessed in the future."

"Mmm, as long as he wants, I can cook for him for a lifetime."

"Wow, I'm even a little envious of my own son, Yutong; how about you don't marry him, and the two of us abandon those two big men and elope instead?"

"Mom, don't joke like that……"

Huo Yutong was obviously a bit overwhelmed by Lang Yue's jokes, but Tang Wulin could tell from her voice and expression that she was actually enjoying it too.

For her, the closeness from Lang Yue also let her experience the feeling of family again after a long time.

Moreover, what Lang Yue said was indeed correct; Huo Yutong's dishes are top-notch in color, aroma, and flavor worldwide, and just smelling the aroma from the kitchen made Tang Wulin's appetite surge.

At this moment, Huo Yutong noticed Tang Wulin had awakened, and half of her body leaned out of the kitchen, saying:

"Wulin, wait a moment; breakfast will be ready soon."

Lang Yue also leaned out after her, joking: "Wulin, I heard that when Yutong went back to her room last night you were already asleep? That won't do—how can you neglect your fiancée like that? Mom still wants to hold a grandchild."

"Mom!"

Huo Yutong blushed deeply and quickly pushed Lang Yue back into the kitchen.

It seems their relationship is now very good.

Tang Wulin listened reassured to the playful sounds from the kitchen and sat down at the table.

Tang Ziran put down the newspaper, smiled, and asked: "How was your sleep quality last night?"

"Very good."

Perhaps because the major matter on his mind had been resolved, Tang Wulin slept very sweetly yesterday.

"That's not bad."

Tang Ziran glanced at the kitchen and smiled:

"Speaking of which, I'm actually a bit curious too—when do you two plan to have a child?"

Tang Wulin twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Dad, you're joining in too?"

In his impression, Tang Ziran wasn't the type to say such things.

Tang Ziran said helplessly:

"Isn't it just that you've grown up too fast, so we haven't had time to react before you became an adult? Don't look at your mom like that—she actually loves kids, and if she could hold a grandchild soon, she'd definitely be very happy."

"That's indeed……"

Although many things from childhood are now fuzzy, Tang Wulin clearly remembers that Lang Yue really likes children.

He leaned back in the chair and let out a helpless sigh.

"Actually, there's not much I can do about this; as far as I know, the probability of me and Yutong having a child seems rather low."

He and Huo Yutong have never used any contraception, yet they still haven't had a child, so they actually went to ask Ilex about it a long time ago.

After Ilex took their blood samples for research, he reached the following conclusion:

"Wulin, your bloodline is truly too strong, almost on par with a pure-blood Golden Dragon King; although the fertility rate is somewhat higher than that of a true pure-blood giant dragon, it's still much lower than that of ordinary people, so having a child in the short term should be very difficult."

The fertility rate of pure-blood giant dragons has always been low; the Dragon God can have so many descendants because his seed spreads widely and he lives a long time.

Normally, for a pure-blood giant dragon to want one offspring, the time needed is calculated in units of centuries.

If luck is good, maybe it'll happen soon; if luck is bad, then one might truly have to wait a very long time.

"Is that so?" Tang Ziran blinked in surprise, then smiled, "Well then, forget it—you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself; we don't need a grandchild, as long as you're happy and content."

In his heart, he feels deep guilt toward Tang Wulin, so he won't make any demands of him.

Moreover, his son has grown into such a perfect young man, bringing back a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law who is nearly perfect; he feels he shouldn't demand anything more either.

People should learn to be content; excessive greed only leads to the futile effort of drawing water with a bamboo basket.

"Mmm."

Hearing Tang Ziran's words, Tang Wulin's gaze became softer.

Still, getting along with his father is what relaxes him the most.

At that moment, the kitchen door opened, the aroma of food instantly intensified, and Huo Yutong and Lang Yue walked over holding bowls and chopsticks.

"Time to eat; go fetch the dishes."

"Okay."

Tang Wulin and Tang Ziran quickly rose to help.

Perhaps because it was the first time Huo Yutong cooked for Tang Wulin's parents, just looking at the splendid array of dishes on the table, Tang Wulin could imagine how strong her motivation as a chef must be.

Tang Wulin could already guess how things would develop afterward; no one can resist Huo Yutong's finished cuisine, let alone when she puts her full effort into it with renewed vigor.

"Mmm!"

As expected, when Lang Yue put the first bite of food into her mouth, she widened her eyes in surprise: "This good?!"

Although just by looking at its appearance and smelling its aroma she knew Huo Yutong's food must be delicious, only after actually tasting it did she realize she had previously underestimated it.

As the food entered her mouth, the delicious sensation not only instantly filled her mouth but also permeated her soul, as if the one eating were not her body but her spirit.

This is too miraculous.

"Really?"

Seeing her like that, Tang Ziran also felt a bit curious.

In his impression, his own wife is usually very picky about food flavors; although she might be more lenient toward a daughter-in-law, this reaction is clearly heartfelt.

So he also stuffed a bite into his mouth, and immediately showed a dazed expression.

This... is really amazing.

He's not only strong and capable, with a gentle personality, but also possesses culinary skills of this level—isn't his daughter-in-law a bit too talented? Although his standard for choosing a daughter-in-law is whether she truly loves his own son, as long as she and Tang Wulin love each other, he won't interfere too much.

If Huo Yutong had better physical attributes, he would certainly welcome her even more, and there's no question that he currently believes it's impossible to find a girl with better physical qualities than Huo Yutong.

Lang Yue's eyes shone, she looked eagerly at Huo Yutong.

"Yutong, your cooking is so good, will you teach me?"

Actually, Lang Yue had thought about finding a relevant teacher before, but the price was really too high; at that time there were two bottomless pits in the family, Tang Wulin and Na'er, so she could only give up.

Now there is such a highly skilled chef right before her eyes, and she is even her own daughter-in-law; not taking this opportunity to ask Huo Yutong for advice would be too wasteful.

Seeing that her parents-in-law seemed very satisfied with the food, Huo Yutong obviously relaxed, she smiled lightly and nodded.

"No problem, I can teach you today."

"That's perfect."

Tang Wulin swallowed the food in his mouth and said:

"Yutong, I have to accept the affectionate senior's invitation today to meet the forging teacher he arranged; you stay at home and teach Mom how to cook, how about that?"

Although strictly speaking, this is not their home, but as the top suite of the highest-end hotel in the second city of the continent, this room's facilities simply cannot compare to the little house Tang Wulin lived in as a child.

Not only does it have everything a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen should have, it even has a swimming pool; moreover, the room's facilities are extremely luxurious, and even if one were to truly treat this place as a residence for long-term living, there would be no problem at all.

Of course, Tang Wulin does not intend to stay here long; he would rather buy a house of his own and then bring his family of five to live there.

"Okay."

Huo Yutong nodded lightly.

Just as Tang Wulin doesn't really understand soul tools, she can only say she understands some professional terms about forging; if she actually tried to do it, she couldn't compare to Tang Wulin at all.

Even in the past she wouldn't be of much help, and might even get in the way; it would be better to stay and teach Lang Yue how to cook.

Seeing that they had finished discussing, Tang Ziran picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

As soon as the TV was turned on, the content that came out left several people both laughing and crying.

"Regarding the Spirit Ice Soul Master that suddenly appeared recently, all sorts of speculation have appeared online..."

Tang Ziran casually switched a few channels, found that they were all talking about Huo Yutong, then gave up, turned off the TV, smiled at the two of them, and teased:

"Now every corner of the internet is discussing your affairs; your affairs have truly caused a sensation throughout society."

Tang Wulin asked concernedly:

"It won't cause you any inconvenience in life, will it?"

Although he left this era at a very young age, he has also been online before and has some understanding of what the internet is like.

The spread of information was not particularly fast in the era of ten thousand years ago, but now this information age is completely different; it can be said that a new version appears every day.

It is still unclear whether the information about Tang Ziran and Lang Yue as a couple has been uncovered, but once their relationship with Tang Wulin is discovered, it will certainly also be exposed to the eyes of countless people.

Tang Ziran shrugged.

"Not yet, but sooner or later it will happen."

Seeing Tang Wulin's complexion worsen a bit, he quickly said, "It's fine, this isn't something you need to worry about; we can handle it ourselves."

"But..."

"There's nothing to 'but' about."

Tang Ziran laughed, interrupting Tang Wulin's words, and said firmly:

"As young people, your mission is to strive and fight for your own happiness; as parents, our duty is to be the support behind your happy lives. Now that you've achieved this much without our help, as parents we at least cannot hold you back."

"...... Understood."

After Tang Wulin remained silent for a moment, he nodded.

However, he certainly wasn't really planning to just leave it at that; in fact, the one who truly failed to grasp the seriousness of the problem was Tang Ziran, who is ultimately just an ordinary person who hasn't experienced too great a storm.

As Tang Wulin's parents, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue's identities are extremely sensitive; it can be said they are the best material to manipulate Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, and they are the two's biggest weakness in this world.

Tang Wulin had finally managed to see his parents again after great difficulty, and naturally he would not let them get into trouble because of him.

Undoubtedly, the best way is to find a safe place that is not easily disturbed, and let the parents live there.

Where should he choose? Several options popped up in Tang Wulin's mind.
