Reborn As Lucky Star

This meal was lavishly prepared, and Yue Jiandong noticed a few dishes they don't normally make.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard his wife calling out to Jiang Jingze.

"These few dishes, Qingqing said you like them, give them a try. I guess I'm making an axe in front of Lu Ban."

Jiang Jingze was deeply touched, secretly holding Yue Qingqing's hand under the table.

Yue Jiandong couldn't help but glance at him a few times, but it was essentially a futile rage.

At the dinner table, the family started discussing the little life inside Lin Yushan's belly.

Lin Yushan seemed to be enveloped in a glowing aura of motherhood, carefully touching her belly.

"Anyway, as long as the child is healthy, that's all we ask for, nothing else," she said.

"I do have a bit of a request," Yue Jiannan declared, "I want a girl. How wonderful girls are, so sweet and gentle, you can dress them up beautifully from a young age. Boys, on the other hand, are like monkeys, coming home covered in mud every day, and even laundry is a hassle."

Lin Chunju unreservedly commented, "Our third child is practically insulting himself here."

Yue Jiannan, knowing he was the most rebellious among the three brothers—plus their sister who was away on business—not even a bit ashamed, scratched his head.

"Anyway, girls are better. Why else would they say 'the apple of the eye'? Look at how wonderful Xingxing and Qingqing are as girls."

Yue Xiaohu, without mercy, chimed in, "Uncle, that's gender discrimination."

"Hey, what's wrong with that? Some people like boys, some like girls. Can't people have preferences?"

Yue Jiannan suddenly remembered, "Oh right, why didn't Xingxing come back?"

"She said she's working on a project with her school's research group, delayed for two days and will be back the day after tomorrow."

After Yue Qingqing finished speaking, her gaze couldn't help but fall back on Lin Yushan's belly.

Seeing the aura emanating from her aunt, she couldn't help but smile.

She wondered if her uncle would get his wish...

Jiang Jingze abided by the principle of eating more and talking less at the Yue family dinner table.

Everyone's gaze still couldn't help but gravitate towards him, all wearing smiles, clearly treating him as one of their own.

Yue Jiandong, seeing the futility of resistance, opened a bottle of wine that Jiang Jingze brought.

"Come on, Xiaojiang, let's have a drink."

Jiang Jingze obediently stood up and took the wine bottle. "Let me do it."

As he spoke, he poured for both of them.

Yue Jiannan watched gleefully from the side. "A real man finishes it in one gulp, no raising fish!"

Lin Yushan smiled softly, whispering in her husband's ear.

"If this kid inside me is a girl, you'll probably have this day too."

One sentence turned Yue Jiannan's face black.

Indeed, fathers who dote on daughters have a similar attitude towards their sons-in-law.

Just like mothers-in-law with daughters-in-law.

These years, Yue Jiandong honed his drinking skills at social gatherings, one glass after another.

Initially, he looked for excuses like wishing for success in studies and a smooth career.

Later on, he bluntly simplified it to one word—Drink!

Jiang Jingze didn't refuse, raising his head and gulping it down.

Lin Chunju watched the competitiveness between the two with a smile, not stopping them.

They all had to pass this test anyway; men's friendship can sometimes be this strange.

Maybe one meal would resolve it.

At first, Yue Jiandong still planned to drink Jiang Jingze under the table, but later even he got a bit too drunk.

Clasping Jiang Jingze's hand, he began to call him brother.

"Brother, I only have this one daughter. Never touched a single hair on her head. You must treat her well, don't bully her."

Jiang Jingze's face was flushed, and his amber eyes hazed with drunkenness.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. Two lifetimes... I searched for her for two lifetimes."

Yue Qingqing felt a surge in her heart.

However, the onlookers who hadn't been drinking all burst into laughter.

"Xiaojiang is drunk, he's starting to talk nonsense."
