Chapter 855: Chapter 855

Qian Long chuckled and patted Liu Zhizhong on the shoulder approvingly, "You sure know how to talk! Come on, sit down, let's chat while we eat!"

After speaking, he glanced at Qian Xuan.

Qian Xuan immediately pressed a call bell in the private dining room, instructing the servants to bring in the dishes and drinks.

Soon, everyone sat down. Qian Long took the main seat, with Qian Xuan to his left, Luo Shuxiu to his right, and Liu Zhizhong across from him.

The four of them sat around an exquisite white jade Eight Immortals table, which was spacious enough for everyone.

The door of the private dining room opened, and the beautiful maids from the kitchen streamed in, bringing in plate after plate of delicacies that looked and smelled delicious, greatly stimulating everyone's appetite.

At this moment, servants naturally poured drinks for the four of them to start the meal. Luo Shuxiu couldn't drink alcohol now, so she had freshly squeezed juice.

Qian Long was still a bit puzzled and asked with a smile, "Shu Xiu, what's up? Why aren't you drinking tonight?"

Luo Shuxiu blushed slightly and looked at her husband.

Qian Xuan laughed heartily, "Dad, she can't drink anymore, taking care of the baby is more important, hahaha..."

"Hahaha... Really? You two little ones, don't fool your dad!" Qian Long's face was filled with joy, just like any ordinary elder who has just heard about the arrival of a grandchild.

Qian Xuan smiled sincerely, "Dad, why would I lie to you? Really, it's true..."

Luo Shuxiu also blushed, lowered her head, and nodded, "Dad, it's true, it's true..."

"Hahaha... Well, that's good! Shu Xiu, you're the hero of the Qian family! Listen, when a woman is pregnant, she really can't drink alcohol, should avoid cigarette smoke, needs a moderate amount of activity, but can't do strenuous exercise. Safeguarding the pregnancy is the top priority. I'll have the old doctor check your pulse and prescribe some medicine..."

The President of the Southwest Conference, the most powerful figure in the four provinces of the Southwest, was now acting all fussy and talkative, just like an old housewife.

The three young people found it both amusing and embarrassing but didn't dare to interrupt him, as he was clearly very happy.

When Qian Long finally finished talking, he looked at Luo Shuxiu with a joyful smile, increasingly fond of this daughter-in-law.

Luo Shuxiu, embarrassed, said, "Dad, don't get too excited. I'm just a few days along. According to science, it's called implantation, still very early!"

"Oh, hehe, no problem, no problem. Still, you need to be careful. Tomorrow, I'll have the old doctor come over..."

Qian Xuan, looking frustrated, said, "Dad, please, no more old doctors. In this estate, we have all the latest medical technologies! This is my own child, I trust modern medicine. Let's not bother with those old pulse-checking, herbal prescription nonsense! Just forget about traditional medicine..."

Qian Long saw this but didn't argue, saying, "Alright, as you wish. After all, you're the father, you must be responsible for your child! Don't you think your dad's right?"

"Yes, yes, very right."

Qian Long looked at Liu Zhizhong and smiled, "Xiao Liu, right?"

"Of course! As a father, you must be meticulous." Liu Zhizhong managed to respond well on the surface, but felt a bit awkward inside, hehe...

But no matter what, because Luo Shuxiu was pregnant, the pre-dinner atmosphere was warm and joyful.

When most of the dishes were served and the drinks were poured, Qian Long pushed a beautifully wrapped box containing the Chu King Seal towards Liu Zhizhong, "Xiao Liu, take this home with you after the meal."
