After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!

Chapter 793: Chapter 641: Second Update

But he still asked, "Uncle Mao went to Switzerland, right?"

Ning Yi nodded perfunctorily, then turned to look around, "Did you drink the XO I brought you last time?"

Ning Youguang pursed his lips and smiled, "No, we didn’t."

Ning Yi’s eyes lit up.

Ning Youguang promptly crushed his fantasy, "Forget about XO, Lafite, Maotai, and Wuliangye, I’ll warm up a bottle of Huadiao from our hometown for you."

"Alright, alright," Ning Yi laughed heartily.

Having some wine is better than none.

...

Kitchen.

"What are you looking for?" Shi Wangyue asked when she saw Ning Youguang enter the kitchen and start rummaging through the cabinets.

"Do we still have the Huadiao that Daidai sent us last time?"

"There’s still two bottles left," Shi Wangyue remembered clearly, "They’re in the second cabinet to your left."

"My dad wants to drink," Ning Youguang said, after taking out a jar of aged Huadiao from the cabinet, and pouted at Shi Wangyue.

"I’ll warm it for him," Shi Wangyue chuckled to herself, "Should I add some ginger slices?"

"Yes, and add some goji berries for him too."

"Just leave it here, I’ll take care of it," said Shi Wangyue, who was slicing fish, "Go and chat with your father."

"Brother-in-law, I’ll help you," Ning Youyu volunteered, although he had just finished choosing the dishes and hadn’t left yet.

Shi Wangyue said, "You should go play with your sister, I’ve got it covered here."

Ning Youguang tugged Ning Youyu’s head and led him out, while reminding Shi Wangyue, "Call me if you need anything～"

Then she turned to Ning Youyu and asked, "Aren’t you going to play with the Christmas tree?"

"I am!" Ning Youyu replied, "Doesn’t brother-in-law need help here too?"

Shi Wangyue doesn’t like anyone observing while she cooks, except for her.

But she couldn’t say this directly to Ning Youyu, "Your brother-in-law can handle it alone, let’s go see what Christmas gifts dad got me."

This reason made it hard for Ning Youyu to refuse.

But he was still polite, feeling a bit embarrassed watching Shi Wangyue busy around the kitchen all by herself.

"Thanks for your hard work, brother-in-law!"

"Dinner will be ready in half an hour."

...

"Is the wine warmed up so quickly?" Ning Yi asked when he saw Ning Youguang come out so soon.

"No," Ning Youguang replied, "Wangyue is warming it for you, let’s just relax."

"Alright then," as soon as he heard about the wine, Ning Yi felt invigorated with boundless energy.

It’s mainly because he hasn’t had a drink in a long time.

Ning Youguang promptly poured cold water on him, "Don’t drink too much Huadiao, at most three liang."

"What?" Ning Yi got anxious, just as he was about to insist on half a jin, he met his daughter Qing Lingling’s gaze and immediately changed his tone, "Three liang is fine, three liang is fine."

"You and Wangyue will share the three liang," Ning Youguang added with a smile.

"..." Ning Yi felt stuck.

He couldn’t say anything to his daughter, and after a long pause, he finally blurted out, "I’ll go finish decorating the Christmas tree."

...

Ning Youguang watched Ning Yi’s back remain steady.

But unexpectedly, after barely stabilizing for half a second, she heard Ning Youyu sigh and say beside her, "Compliance brings abundance, indulging brings disaster!"

Ning Youguang felt a chill down her spine, her heart almost jumped to her throat.

Turning around, she saw Ning Youyu still shaking his head and sighing, "My dad really doesn’t understand this simple truth."

"..." Ning Youguang took a few deep breaths before calmly asking Ning Youyu, "Who did you hear ’Compliance brings abundance, indulging brings disaster’ from?"

"From my brother," Ning Youyu answered casually.

"Did your brother teach you ’Elementary Studies’?" Ning Youguang asked, probing.

"Elementary Studies?" Ning Youyu showed a puzzled expression, "What Elementary Studies?"

"This phrase ’Compliance brings abundance, indulging brings disaster’ is from the Southern Song Dynasty’s Zhu Xi’s ’Elementary Studies’," Ning Youguang explained.

Ning Youyu understood this time, "My brother never taught me ’Elementary Studies’, just mentioned ’Compliance brings abundance, indulging brings disaster’ to me."

"Oh," Ning Youguang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Let’s open presents."

She reached out from the sofa to pick up a silver-grey gift box and handed it to Ning Youyu, "Open this one."

"I’ll open this one," she picked up a red gift box from the sofa.

Ning Youyu and Ning Youguang both like to open surprise boxes.

Opening gift boxes without knowing what’s inside provides a thrill almost equal to opening surprise boxes.

Quickly, Ning Youyu opened the gift box before Ning Youyou.

And he was quite dismissive of the gift revealed inside the box, "Ah, it’s a gold necklace."

Ning Youguang was just about to open her gift box when she turned to see Ning Youyu’s gold necklace.

Upon seeing it, she discovered it really was a gold necklace—a design that’s quite nice.

But Ning Youyu didn’t care about the design of the gold necklace, in his eyes, his dad giving his sister a gold necklace for Christmas was really tacky.

"So tacky," he said.

"It looks nice," Ning Youguang smiled.

Then she turned and asked, "Dad, what’s the design of this necklace you gave me?"

"It’s an Anywhere Door," Ning Yi replied, "Looks good, right?"

"Looks good," Ning Youguang nodded.

"See?" Ning Yi was happy again, "I heard from your Aunt Ming that you like gold now. I saw this gold necklace online and thought it was quite good."

"It is quite good," Ning Youguang agreed.

Ning Youyu just couldn’t understand, "Sis, you actually like gold?!"

"That’s right," Ning Youguang nodded.

Ning Youyu sighed, "I don’t understand."

"Understanding isn’t necessary," Ning Youguang said, "Just knowing I find gold good is enough."

"Alright," Ning Youyu said, "I’ll give you gold for New Year."

"Muah," Ning Youguang accepted without hesitation. After admiring the gold necklace Ning Yi gifted her, Ning Youguang opened her own box.

Once the contents of the box were revealed.

"Wow! Cool!" Ning Youyu widened his eyes, "This knight looks awesome."

"Yeah," Ning Youguang took out the diamond knight-shaped brooch from the box and observed it closely, her eyes filled with amazement, "It’s really beautiful."

"This must be from mom," Ning Youyu said gleefully, "Sis, how do you wear this?"

"This is a brooch," Ning Youguang compared Ishikawa Choko’s diamond knight brooch to her chest, "You pin it here."

"Let me pin it for you," Ning Youyu reached out.

"Thank you," Ning Youguang placed the brooch in Ning Youyu’s hand.

...

Next day, the weather was favorable.

Ning Youguang was still dreaming when Shi Wangyue’s early morning words woke her up.

"It’s snowing outside."

"Snowing?" The originally reluctant Ning Youguang instantly sat up from bed.

Lying on the bed, Shi Wangyue chuckled, "It’s not heavy, want to go see?"

"Yes!"

Ning Youguang threw off the covers and got out of bed, running to the window.

Indeed, it was snowing outside.

Although not heavily, now just a thin layer of snow covered the window sill in white.

The sky was gloomy.

But Ning Youguang was still very happy, "Let’s move a Christmas tree to the little garden." 1314
