Chapter 2188: Chapter 2189: Ye Xunhuan Is Sick
Although Qin Pojun said he wanted Ye Xunhuan to get lost and didn’t want to see him, he was actually very happy inside.
Qin Pojun was still very fond of his grandson, Ye Xunhuan.
Of course, it would be even better if this guy could sweeten his words a bit more.
But if Ye Xunhuan had a sweet tongue instead of a sharp one, would Qin Pojun still like him that much?
After all, Qin Pojun also had grandsons, and every one of them would sweet-talk him as if their lips were coated with honey when they saw him.
When Ye Xunhuan followed Qin Pojun into the house, he sniffed a little: "Old man, what are you doing? Why do I smell vinegar?"
"The weather is quite cold, and there are many germs. Putting vinegar on the stove to evaporate can purify the air and remove germs..."
Although Ye Xunhuan knew what Qin Pojun was saying was true, he still said somewhat skeptically, "Are you sure it’s not because you’re feeling jealous?"
"Stop playing word games with me." Qin Pojun gave Ye Xunhuan a stern look, then sat directly on his rattan chair, ignoring him.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t stand on ceremony with Qin Pojun either. He just sat to the side, crossed his legs, and said, "Old man, have you been cooped up at home all alone?"
"Where could I go?"
"Go out for a walk, join the ladies in the square for some dancing, maybe you can even charm someone to relieve your boredom," Ye Xunhuan said seriously, "It might even spark your second spring!"
Qin Pojun’s face twitched slightly, and three black lines appeared on his forehead.
"You..."
"My aunts and uncles aren’t doing their job, leaving you here all alone, how pitiful," Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly, "If you come with me, I’d definitely find you some old ladies to play mahjong, dance in the square..."
"Are you here in the capital because you have nothing better to do, just to annoy me?"
"What do you mean, nothing better to do, I have plenty of things to do," Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "Aren’t I here to see you? No matter how big my problems are, I put them aside first!"
When Qin Pojun heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, "Now that sounds reasonable!"
"Are you saying what I said before didn’t?"
Qin Pojun was well aware of Ye Xunhuan’s way with words, and he knew that he couldn’t win in a verbal duel with this grandson; he might even be mocked for it. So, Qin Pojun simply chose not to engage with Ye Xunhuan much.
Seeing that Qin Pojun wasn’t engaging much, Ye Xunhuan immediately felt rather bored, "Old man, I rarely come here, and this is your attitude? Will you let anyone come back in the future?"
"What attitude do you want? You want me to welcome you as if I’m welcoming ancestors, set off some firecrackers for you..."
"Welcoming me as an ancestor would be too much, but some firecrackers would be okay. Just don’t forget to prepare food and drink—that would be more like it," Ye Xunhuan said earnestly.
Qin Pojun was speechless. This guy really knew how to take things further.
Even though Ye Xunhuan talked rather recklessly, Qin Pojun had to admit that he enjoyed chatting with Ye Xunhuan.
"You came alone, Ruoxi didn’t come with you?" Qin Pojun asked casually.
"She’s busy!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "She’s certain to come see you during the Spring Festival, you can rest assured about that."
"I miss that girl!" Qin Pojun’s face slowly revealed a nostalgic look, "That girl can really cook well."
"Well, you have to see whose wife she is," Ye Xunhuan said somewhat proudly.
The next moment, as if something had occurred to him, Qin Pojun immediately sat up straight and said to Ye Xunhuan, "By the way, you two have been married for quite a while, why haven’t you and Ruoxi had a child yet?"
"We’re working on it," Ye Xunhuan said lightly.
"You’re not planning on not having kids, are you?"
"Look at how you put it, how could that be," Ye Xunhuan took out a cigarette, lit it, took a light puff, and said, "We even went for a checkup at the hospital because of this, but they couldn’t find anything."
"I’m also worried about this!"
With that, a helpless expression appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face.
He and Qiu Ruoxi were both fine, yet Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t gotten pregnant, and it was the same with other women.
More importantly, the checkup hadn’t shown any problems.
Could it be that getting pregnant really was a matter of luck?
Qin Pojun glanced at Ye Xunhuan, "You even went to the hospital..."
"Yeah," Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "Being childless isn’t a solution, don’t you think?"
"Nothing was found?"
"Old man, can we stop being so long-winded? I’ve already said, we both have no issues."
"Then why can’t you have a child..."
"How would I know," Ye Xunhuan said, his face full of frustration.
Just then, a slightly old voice came from the door, "I know."
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan and Qin Pojun almost simultaneously turned their heads towards the door.
Soon, Song Yan walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Song Yan’s face immediately broke into a broad smile, "Young Master Xunhuan, when did you come back?"
"Just got here," Ye Xunhuan said impatiently, "Grandpa Song Yan, did you just say you know why Ruoxi and I don’t have children?"
Now, regarding this child issue, Ye Xunhuan was indeed quite anxious, especially considering that the six-month agreement with Qiu Ruoxi was approaching. What should he do then?
If Qiu Ruoxi got pregnant, maybe for the sake of the child in her belly, she would let it slide!
But the problem was, Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t gotten pregnant, and at certain times Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but wonder if the issue was with him.
"Yes!" Song Yan nodded slightly, "Actually, if Ruoxi isn’t getting pregnant, it’s not her, it’s you!"
Ye Xunhuan immediately widened his eyes and looked at Song Yan in disbelief, "Grandpa Song Yan, you..."
"The women around you aren’t just Ruoxi. None of these many women have gotten pregnant. It can’t be that they all have issues, right?" Song Yan seemed to have guessed what Ye Xunhuan wanted to say and interrupted directly.
Ye Xunhuan fell silent.
What Song Yan said wasn’t wrong; it couldn’t be that all the women had issues.
"Actually, the problem is with you. While this problem is serious, it’s also not so serious, and while it’s not so serious, it’s quite serious."
Song Yan spoke like a tongue-twister, leaving Ye Xunhuan completely confused.
"What do you mean?"
