Chapter 124 Request

Lin Yaxuan's father, Lin Ruofu, works at the Shanghai Academy of Sciences and is a professor-level researcher. Her mother Zhao Xinfang is a doctor and is also the attending doctor of Union Hospital.

Zhou Liwen was very surprised when she learned about her parents' career, because he always thought that Lin Yaxuan's parents and Li Junhao's parents were both from the business world, but she didn't expect that she was from a scholarly family. No wonder the girl had a faint sense of bookishness. It was normal for her to grow up in such a high-level intellectual family to be naturally influenced.

Zhou Liwen was very prepared for the first time when he visited the house. Not only did he bring ordinary tobacco, alcohol, health products and other things, he also took great pains to choose two special gifts.

A rare ancient book from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, an elegant set of Maisen tea sets.

Lin Ruofu studied biology and was meticulous at work, but his biggest hobby in daily life was to collect books. Although this rare ancient book is not rare, it is also a rare top-quality product. Zhou Liwen asked someone to work hard to get it. As for the set of Maisen tea sets, of course, it was a gift to Zhao Xinfang, because Lin Yaxuan learned from her mother that her mother developed the habit of drinking afternoon tea when she was studying abroad. Maisen's porcelain is well-known in the world and belongs to the top porcelain brand. It is famous for its elegant design, royal temperament, and pure handmade work. It is the most suitable gift.

Zhou Liwen's preference really surprised the two elders. Facing the boyfriend of this baby daughter, the gentle Lin Ruofu happily took the gift and couldn't let it go and read it on the spot.

"Old Lin, look at you so happy, let Xiao Zhou sit down first." Seeing her husband holding a gift when they met, he looked excitedly, and even Zhou Liwen, the guest, was thrown aside. Zhao Xinfang couldn't help but remind him softly. Lin Ruofu came back to his senses and quickly greeted Zhou Liwen sit down with a smile.

"Sorry, Xiao Zhou, I have seen this ancient book once in the old bookstore. I wanted to buy it back then, but unfortunately the other party said it was a collection and refused to sell it. But I didn't expect to see the same book today. I was happy for a moment, haha..."

"It's okay, Uncle Lin, I'm going to hide it from you. This ancient book is probably the one you have seen." Zhou Liwen said with a smile: "I heard that you like reading books. I asked my friend to specially get this ancient book. This ancient book turned out to be the internal collection of the old bookstore. If the old bookstore was not cleaning up the collection recently, I wouldn't have been able to get it. But I didn't expect that it was actually what Uncle Lin did not want, which was really a coincidence! Maybe this is fate."

"Yes!" Lin Ruofu was a little surprised, and quickly turned the ancient book in his hand to the last page, put on reading glasses and looked carefully, and smiled: "That's right! That's it!" Lin Ruofu happily handed the page to Zhou Liwen, pointing to the seals on it and said: "I remember these seals clearly, and it must be true! Fate is really fate!"

Lin Ruofu smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. Zhou Liwen gave him the first impression, let alone coming today to bring him this unexpected surprise. He didn't think this would be the book that his daughter secretly told the young man to make for his preference, because he had never mentioned it to his daughter, let alone his daughter, even his wife. Who would have thought that his daughter's boyfriend would come to visit for the first time, and this ancient book that he had been concerned about for a long time. As Zhou Liwen said just now, this is really fate!

To be honest, Zhou Liwen didn't expect this effect, but looking at Lin Ruofu's excited look, wasn't this an unexpected good thing? He looked around and Lin Yaxuan's eyes also looked at him, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

Lin Ruofu talked about his nature and excitedly talked to Zhou Liwen about the origin of this ancient book. Although Zhou Liwen was from science, he also had some knowledge of literature and history on weekdays. He was very happy to talk about it, one old and one young.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Xinfang came in with the cooked black tea. The tea set used was the set of Maisen brought by Zhou Liwen. Good tea and good tea sets, plus some exquisite and delicious snacks, it can be seen that the hostess is elegant and understands the habits of life.

Seeing that her husband and Zhou Liwen were having an odd chat, Zhao Xinfang just smiled and made tea for them, then sat aside and listened quietly, just asking a little on some topics. From this point of view, Lin Yaxuan's personality is more similar to her mother.

Although Zhou Liwen is here for the first time, he is not unfamiliar with Zhou Liwen and Lin Ruofu, because they have learned about Zhou Liwen from Li Junhao's parents. They are satisfied with this boy, especially Lin Ruofu is even more happy because he thinks that although Zhou Liwen is young, his personality is very steady. From his conversation, he can see that this is a child who values ​​affection and feelings. In addition, Zhou Liwen's speculation on history and literature topics made him even more overjoyed. As for Zhao Xinfang, she pays more attention to Zhou Liwen's appearance, career and character. These Zhou Liwen made her feel relieved and sat aside and looked at him with a smile. As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks, the happier she becomes.

Time passed quickly, and after chatting for an afternoon, it was time for meals. Lin Ruofu and his wife invited Zhou Liwen to have a meal at home. Zhou Liwen was not polite, and said thank you and agreed.

Zhao Xinfang has good skills and has a variety of home-cooked dishes. If you want to say that Zhou Liwen's taste is a little lighter. However, as a doctor, Zhao Xinfang's health habits are normal to add less salt to the dishes. Zhou Liwen praised while eating, which made Zhao Xinfang even happier.

"Xiao Zhou, we parents will not interfere too much in your affairs with Xiao Ya. You young people are going to fall in love after all. When the children grow up, they will have their own life. In the future, they will always leave their parents to start their own family." After taking a sip of tea, Lin Ruofu looked at his wife beside him. After seeing Zhao Xinfang nodding slightly, he looked at Zhou Liwen seriously.

"Thank you uncle and aunt, please rest assured. I will not let you down your hopes. I will treat Xiaoya well." Zhou Liwen knew that this was his statement, so she quickly stood up and made a solemn promise.

"Okay! That's good!" Lin Ruofu nodded with satisfaction and greeted Zhou Liwen with a smile and sat down: "But, I have a condition, I hope you can agree to me."

"Please say, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"

"It's like this..." Lin Ruofu glanced at his daughter who was shy and happy, and thought for a while and said, "Xiaoya is still studying now. She is a student and there is more than a year before graduation. Although we parents do not object to your love, we still hope to wait for Xiaoya to do some things before graduation. Xiao Zhou, don't you know what I mean?"

Zhou Liwen relaxed her heart, smiled and looked at Lin Yaxuan beside her, took her hand and said seriously to Lin Ruofu and his wife: "I understand, I can assure you and my aunt, but I want to make a suggestion, if the uncle and aunt do not object..." With warmth and tenderness in her eyes, Zhou Liwen looked at Lin Yaxuan deeply: "I plan to get engaged to Xiaoya first and wait until Xiaoya graduates before doing business. I wonder what uncle and aunt think?"

(Today a reader left a message asking me to write clearly the specifics of the state-owned enterprise where the protagonist is located. Here I will explain it specifically. For some reason, these are really not easy to write. Now you need to pay attention to the harmony problem when writing books. If you write too clearly and get warned, it will be troublesome. Therefore, in my writing, I deliberately blurred some details of the state-owned enterprise where the protagonist is located. The main consideration is for this. Please understand readers and friends to avoid unnecessary trouble. Thank you!)
