Chapter 1682 - Outstanding Qualities (1/2)

His gaze fell to the gifts that Shen Zhilie was carrying with both hands. With a click of his tongue, he said, “It’s enough that you came. Why did you bring so many gifts? Hurry and put them down. They must be heavy!”

“I heard that Qianqian’s grandfather was here, so I brought some supplements. She also told me that you are very skilled in the kitchen. Whenever you’re free, you may prepare them for Grandfather.”

Shen Zhilie placed the objects down and said, “I didn’t know what you liked, so I just brought some cigarettes and alcohol.”

“Did you tell Qianqian about it?” Ye Zhenhua asked with a lowered voice. “That lass looked unhappy. You must have ruffled her feathers.”

Shen Zhilie felt a little embarrassed upon hearing that.

After a moment’s thought, he replied, “Indeed, I didn’t tell her. Mainly, I was worried that she wouldn’t let me come. I’ve wanted to visit for a long time but could never find the opportunity to.”

Ye Zhenhua’s assumptions were confirmed when he heard Shen Zhilie’s reply.

“She has never once mentioned you to me. If not for your visit, I wouldn’t even have known that my daughter had a boyfriend.” Ye Zhenhua helped him put the things down and asked, “What’s your name? Judging from your accent, I’m guessing that you’re from the North?”

“My name is Shen Zhilie, Uncle, It’s spelled z-h-i-l-i-e. I’m from the Capital, but I am currently based in Kingstown for work.”

Ye Zhenhua’s face was visibly surprised when he heard where Shen Zhilie was from. “You’re from the Capital?”

“Yes, Uncle.”

“What do you do for work?”

“I’m a doctor. I’m currently the Deputy Director of the Psychiatric Department.”

Ye Zhenhua nodded his head when he heard the answer. He gave Shen Zhilie’s tall physique a once-over. The creases on his forehead deepened.

When Shen Zhilie noticed Ye Zhenhua’s expression, he ventured, “Uncle, if you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask them.”
