Chapter 2030


    At this moment, Charlie and his family were in the living room, eating New Year’s Eve dinner while


    watching the Spring Festival G on TV. The whole family was happy and harmonious, enjoying


    the atmosphere.


    Jacob and ine, the old couple who always found each other despicable, had made an exception


    and held back their bickering during the dinner.


    Jacob and Charlie drank some white wine together, in which Jacob was in a delightful mood.


    ire wanted to drink some red wine with ine, but ine snatched the red wine from her hand


    and poured it for herself while saying very seriously," ire, you can''t drink alcohol if you are trying


    to get pregnant. It''s not good for the baby!”


    With that, she turned to Charlie and said with a smile," My dear son-inw, don''t drink too much.


    Drinking too much wine will affect seeds'' qualities in men! Eventually, it will affect the quality of


    pregnancy and the development of the fetus!"


    ire was immediately flustered. Blushed in embarrassment, ire huffed, "Mom... Why are you


    being such a bbermouth!"


    ine said in an earnest tone, "I''m teaching you health care and pregnancy knowledge. These are


    mentioned by those parenting and gics experts on TV!"


    ire shook her head helplessly. "You don''t have to be so blunt though! At least be more tactful!"


    ine frowned, aggrieved. "Didn''t I use the term " seed" instead of sperm? Isn’t that tactful


    enough?"


    Jacob was a lightweight drinker, so he was a little tipsy after a few sses. He looked at Charlie


    and said in a rather stern tone, albeit a little drunk, "Dear son-in w, don’t listen to ine''s


    nonsense. Years ago I drank too much, but ire was still able to be conceived while I was in an


    unconscious state. Look a t ire, is she of poor quality? In terms of quality, I daresay that my


    daughter is top-ranked in our country! She has inherited all my good genes!" 4


    ine immediately snorted and said, "Oh, please! You say ire inherited your good genes? What


    good genes do you have? ire looks so beautiful, and it is all thanks to my naturally born beauty!"


    2


    "Bullshit!" Jacob pursed his lips. "Gorgeous? No one would want to pick you up even if you''re


    dumped down the drain! Naturally gorgeous, my *ss!” 3


    ine mmed the cutlery down on the table and shouted angrily, "Jacob Wilson, what do you


    want? I don''t want to fight with you on New Year''s Eve, so you better watch your tongue!" 4


    Jacob shrank his neck timidly and said in a somewhat nervous tone, "Hey, I’m just passing some


    knowledge to Charlie. It''s men''s talk, so stay out of it."


    Then, he patted Charlie''s shoulder and exhorted," Charlie, listen to me. You don’t have to think or


    prepare anything. Just have a few drinks, if you like it, and be happy. When the timees, the


    baby wille!" 3


    As ire heard this, ire''s face had turned a bright red, feeling abashed. She immediately put


    down her cutlery and said, "If you guys keep talking about such inappropriate topics, I''ll go back to


    my room and watch TV." 4


    "Oh, please don’t!” Jacob waved his hands frantically." I''ll stop, alright? Tonight is our first time


    spending New Year''s Eve as a family of four. Not only that we’re able to live in such a luxurious vi,


    but also we don’t have to suffer from your grandma''s nagging. Anyhow, we must enjoy this dinner to


    the fullest!” 1


    ine agreed with Jacob''s point of view, and said cheerfully, "Yes! Let''s stay up until midnight to


    see in the New Year!”


    ire said, "It''s okay to stay up, but you guys don''t spew nonsense again...” 1


    "Fine!" ineughed. "I know you are very shy, so I’ll drop the subject!” 1


    Jacob quickly diverted the subject and said to Charlie, "Come, Charlie, let''s drink!"


    Charlie nodded. He picked up his wine ss and clinked it against Jacob''s.

    After finishing the wine, he received two text messages on his phone. 2


    He clicked them open, and they were surprisingly from Nanako in Japan.


    She first sent a photo of the courtyard of her Kyoto residence. In the photo, the courtyard was filled


    with snow again. 3


    Soon after, she sent a line of text. "Charlie-kun, today i s the traditional festival of your country, New


    Year''s Eve! I would like to wish you a happy New Year!


    Besides, I want to share a piece of good news with you: it''s snowing again in Kyoto tonight..."
