Chapter 61 2/2

The poisonous tongue lingered in his mouth for so long.

He still couldn’t get used to it, but Cen Lang was about to sail alone for three months in space while he had parents, children, and a grandfather on the bustling surface, making it difficult for him to heartlessly let him go.

Cen Lang gained a significant advantage in this business trip.

As for the treatment after three months, it’s uncertain. Dr. Xiao Jiang might regain his cleanliness obsession, or he might miss Cen Lang to the extent of allowing him not to disinfect anything.

Jiang Li didn’t monopolise Cen Lang’s time; after a while, he pushed him away, saying, “Go back; Grandpa is at home.”

Cen Lang: “Hmm.”

In the living room of the Cen family, three people sat facing each other with a boring news programme on TV. After a round of fruit, everyone wasn’t good at engaging in warm family conversations. They just looked at each other.

Cen Lang suggested, “How about playing cards? The three of us can play Landlord.”

Jiang Li: “….”

Cen Lang laughed. “You haven’t played before?”

Jiang Li: “Do you often play?”

Cen Lang: “No, I’m a new interstellar good man. I didn’t even participate when those Alpha guys played mahjong secretly at the space base.”

Due to the interference of pheromone storms, he lost all interest in entertainment. When his head wasn’t hurting and his body was healthy, he preferred to explore the universe. Those ship soldiers in the military, aged between seventy and eighty, couldn’t match Cen Lang’s long space voyage before turning thirty.

Cen Lang: “How about I teach you? When you play with Dad, at least you won’t lose to Dad Lu.”

Jiang Li: “Not good for prenatal education.”

Cen Lang laughed, “I have no demands on him.”

With the current average lifespan, he could protect his child until he was over a hundred years old. For most of his life, he could live carefree. Crying filial piety in front of the memorial tablet would be enough.

Because of parents with such thoughts, interstellar waste-raising became famous.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said, “I have no demands either. Being healthy and happy is enough.”

Cen Lang: “At least require him to practice hygiene, right? If he doesn’t like taking showers, I’ll beat him.”

Jiang Li: “Cleanliness is a personal requirement, not for the child. Being too strict about hygiene when young can result in poor immunity when grown up.” Cen Wei listened with a smile, imagining a playboy, and seemed to accept it. The three generations of the Cen family had contributed a lot, even their lives, to the Federation. Why shouldn’t they have someone responsible for enjoying life?

Cen Lang: “If the little rascal rolls in the mud, would you pick him up after rolling?”

Jiang Li had to maintain tactical silence.

Cen Lang: “If he licks the floor every day during the oral stage, would you kiss him after licking?”

Jiang Li spread his palms and hugged his stomach. “Don’t say that; he might hear it.” Cen Lang thought it was too much; he hadn’t even started yet, so he took on the responsibility and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Remembering to ring the doorbell at the entrance, Cen Wei remembered something and said, “Jiang Li, your dad is here, right?”

As the only elder in the Cen family, during the period when Jiang Li was pregnant and Cen Lang had to go on a business trip, it was natural for him to personally call and apologise to his father-in-law, helping Cen Lang regain goodwill.

Jiang Li and Cen Lang glanced at each other. They hadn’t said anything, but Dad came, obviously instructed by Grandpa.

Jiang Li stood up and went to the door to welcome Jiang Wanlan. His dad had a highly effective suppression patch on the back of his neck, and he walked a bit unsteadily. Jiang Li cared, “Dad, did you take the suppressant?” Jiang Wanlan said, “Not yet; I asked your dad to buy it.”

For some reason, there was no backup at home. When Jiang Wanlan arrived during his susceptible period, he confidently asked Lu Jing, “What should we do if there’s no suppressant?”

As a result, it was really needed, but there was none at home.

Jiang Wanlan quickly went out to buy it, not even using a flying vehicle with Lu Jing. He sent him to buy it, and it came straight to the Cen family. He was worried about Jiang Li and could see that Jiang Li had feelings for Cen Lang. As a communication partner of the Cen family, he was well aware of how precarious this trip was.

Jiang Li: “Don’t use it; it affects the efficacy of the medicine.” Jiang Wanlan said, “I want to be with you tonight.”

Jiang Li thought that was the case. Fortunately, he was prepared. When extracting pheromones for Cen Lang, he saved a bit for his dad, which was enough. “Dad, smell this.”

Jiang Li took out a small tube, shook it up and down, and popped open the lid. Jiang Wanlan took it and inhaled two breaths.

“What is this?”

Jiang Li was afraid that his dad would be sensitive to impotence, so he couldn’t explain it now. He bit his lip and said, “A new type of suppressant; I’ll tell you more later.”

Jiang Wanlan felt the heat of his susceptible period receding like a tide in his body, and his body was very comfortable without the discomfort of forcibly cooling down with a suppressant injection.

His son was really amazing at developing drugs!

Jiang Wanlan wanted to use the word “genius” to describe his son. The last recognised interstellar research genius was one of Cen Lang’s parents.

“What happened to your hand?” Jiang Wanlan saw the needle marks on Jiang Li’s hand. “Are you sick?”

Jiang Li: “No, I just drew some blood for a pregnancy test.”

Recalling the prenatal examination more than twenty years ago, Jiang Wanlan, distressed, held his hand. “Which nurse stabbed you? It looks a bit bruised.” Jiang Li: “It’s my own physical problem; it doesn’t matter.”

Cen Lang felt for the first time that he couldn’t face Jiang Li’s dad.

Lu Jing also arrived, seeing that Jiang Wanlan seemed completely out of the susceptible period, silently standing aside with doubts. Cen Lang thought inappropriately that, in the future, Jiang Li’s susceptible period could be used as an excuse to change various locations; otherwise, the father-in-law might start doubting life.
