Chapter 1682: Outstanding Qualities

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 . ”

Ye Zhenhua struggled internally for a moment before finally opening his mouth . “Dear boy, your qualifications are so good . Just how old are you?”

“I’m 27 . ”

“Twenty-seven? You’re young and promising indeed! You’re tall and handsome, and with such good qualities to boot . There aren’t many people like you nowadays!”

Shen Zhilie was used to receiving compliments from a young age . When he heard Ye Zhenhua’s words, he smiled and replied, “I’m flattered . ”

“With qualities as good as yours, how did you end up with Qianqian?” Ye Zhenhua looked at Shen Zhilie . Suspicion was obvious on his face .

The instant Ye Zhenhua asked the question, Ye Qianqian’s voice suddenly piped up from the back . She irately exclaimed, “Dad! What is that supposed to mean?”

He turned his head and saw Ye Qianqian carrying the freshly sanitized tea set out .

Ye Qianqian placed the tea set down on the round wooden table in the yard and turned to look at Ye Zhenhua with dissatisfaction written on her face .

Ye Zhenhua cleared his throat and said, “Qianqian, I wasn’t saying that you aren’t good enough . ”

The qualities that Dr . Shen possessed were just too outstanding . Such a contrast made Qianqian seem a little average .

Ignoring everything else, just the fact that he was from the Capital made him an enviable catch for women all over .

Furthermore, this guy was extremely good looking . Considering the fact that he was a deputy director of a department at such a young age, his potential, given a few more years, was going to be limitless .

However, Ye Zhenhua did not verbalize any of these thoughts . Instead, he looked at Ye Qianqian and asked, “How could you not tell me that you had a boyfriend? If not for the fact that your boyfriend showed up here, how much longer were you intending to keep me in the dark?”

“I just felt that the time wasn’t right . I would have told you the moment I felt the time was right . ” Ye Qianqian started to prepare the tea . She had studied the art of tea-making before, so her hands were dexterous when it came to this task .
